Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's the thread!

Not sure what the Random thread is all about? Well, here's the answer to all your questions.

It's basically a restaurant. That serves breaststicks. And lots of cute fruit and veggies. And is patronized by a HO. And Tucker Carlson. Vin Diesel, too. Lots of race car drivers eat here, as well. We're very well respected by the Amish... one girl in particular is here almost all the time.

The food is great if you're low on iron. It's not on the menu, but you can ask about the special secret garlic cure home recipe. One of the hostesses often makes weather predictions, but she's not always around. I think she has another job with the government. Or a government. Something like that. One of the other hostesses says "Bitch, please," a lot, but she's joking... don't take it personally.

Forget anything you've heard about the girl who died here from arsenic poisoning. That was a long time ago, and she's still alive, anyway... just busy so she doesn't come in as much. Besides, a little arsenic adds a lot of flavor to just about any dish.

Pretty flowers by the entrance, hey? Lilis, they are. Beautiful. And the music is totally hopping... we have our very own DJ. Looks a little like Brad Pitt.

I guess that's pretty much all you need to know. I'm usually in the corner booth over there drinking a nice glass of wine. You're welcome to join me, anytime. We're open 24/7.


Congratulations to everyone who made Part 4 such a kickass thread!!!

no idea, F1 was on TSN (again not sure if that on is also purely canadian) but i'm not sure where the feed was from.

I have the urge to bake...but that means I have to go get groceries. I hate grocery shopping on weekends. Too many people with cart rage. Too many people, period.

Oh, I'd just pour straight lemon juice on my hands. Probably best to avoid that if you have any cuts on your hands

"cart rage"- I like that. I used to work evenings, so I'd go in the morning when all the elderly people were there. they'd always hit me in the butt with their carts, and then say "sorry, I didn't see you there". you can't MISS my butt, people!

LOL. The grocery store I shop at has aisles only wide enough for two carts. One time these two women were coming towards me side by side. Eventually one slowed her pace a bit so I didn't get mowed down. And children...I like kids most of the time...but some of them are so obnoxious in the grocery store and their parents blissfully igonore their behaviour. It's one thing to have misbehaving kids, but it's doubly bad for parents not to care. /end rant

what's the difference between formula 1 and indy? looks the same to me
Click to expand...

In short, F1 is better than Indy.

j/k 🙂

A short summary:

1 a.) Indy Racing League has genertic chassis tubs and generic spec (rev limited also) engines. Each team buys them and their cars are nearly identical.

1 b.) F1 is based on technology and development. Each chassis is custom made by each team. Each team has their own engine. Some teams even build their own engines. This leads to soaring costs.

2 a.) To run an Indy team, you can do it on as little as around $5 mm (five).

2 b.) To START an F1 team, the entry ticket is $45mm (forty five). The top teams spend $500mm+ (1/2 a billion) a year running their program.

3 a.) No manufacturers have their own teams in IRL. It's all privateer.

3 b.) F1 has five manufacturer teams. BMW, Ferrari, Renault, Toyota, and Honda each own and operate their own teams. Mercedes owns 40% of their team Mercedes McLaren (as in the Mercedes McLaren SLR road car).

4 a.) Road courses for Indy are mainly oval and mainly in the US. There are a couple overseas (i.e. Japan) and a couple road courses.

4 b.) F1 is a worldwide event. They have 18 races all over the world and ALL are road courses, no oval racing. Locations: Bahrain, Turkey (currently here), US, Canada, Japan, China, Malaysia, Australia, Germany (two times), Italy, France, England, Hungary, Belgium (used to be), etc.

5 a.) Competition is more driver-styled in Indy since the cars are almost identical. You see a lot of new faces in the winners circle.

5 b.) F1 isn't like this. The car plays a huge factor and this is probably that worst part of the sport. It leads to only a few guys winning everytime (either Ferrari or Renault this season). Back in 2004, Ferrari won every race except one. Yea, not too exciting. Other than that season and 2002 (same thing), it's been great.

Oh yea, the races are only 1.5 hours, which is good for me because I can't seem to have an attention span for racing that is 2 hours or more. Some races get boring though since there's little passing (something that IRL and NASCAR have A LOT of).

Edit: Don't get me wrong though. I don't think one is better than the other. I can see the pros and cons of each racing series, but I just prefer F1 the most. I like seeing how the teams come up with new designs and components and most get banned within a year (lol). I still like NASCAR, though. Can't get enough of 3 wide going 14 deep at 190 in Daytona. 😀

I can't imagine that would make any real difference. 😕
