Hi all. I should be coming into around $30-50k in the next month or so and instead of buying an NSX, I am thinking I might invest it. The only thing is I have no clue about anything, but I want to earn about 10% a year and keep compounding it until it becomes real money, and maybe throw it a...

You are reading far too much into the situation. Massa was given one team order all year, at Brazil. They would have done the exact same thing to Kimi had their roles been reversed. If I were put into Massa's situation I would be down too, man! You had the pace to win the race, but you...

I'd just like to interject that at $65-$75k pricing, (even before mandatory ridiculous mark ups at dealers) you are still talking about an elite group of buyers. Spending that much on a car is not something every construction or white collar worker can do, spending 100%+ of their annual salary...

What's the general feeling on this, those of you that own homes in typical residential areas? Are you one of those that gets offended when people park on the street in front of your house, or do you take the stance that the street is a public domain, and anyone has a right to park on the street...

You know what is really funny about that is the fact that we were 7th fastest when three of the drivers tht finished ahead of us were using no driver aids in prep for next season!!! Ha ha!

And maybe if McLaren get's thrown out of the championship for next year, We can be the number 2 team again behind Ferrari...yeah! :biggrin: Seriously though it was extremely heartening to see the car up in the top half of the field again, although I do think it was because of the low downforce...

I almost want this to happen to see how it effects the sport. It would be a travesty for such a thing to happen to McLaren though, wow they might not even survive such a penalty if that severe. I'll bet Stepney was really a double agent and planted the technical documents, and tipped off the...

Heh heh, well $200 can buy you a lot of toplessness, and more, across the border, 20 minutes from my house ;)

Is this a general motorsports discussion? Seems like off topic to me...

Update - Great race, my local boy Jimmy Johnson got the win, all he had to do was start to be a lock for The Chase, but winning it means that he is in top spot for the start of it as of now...two more good races and I'll be backing San Diego to take home the Cup for the second time running...

Hey just wanted to let you know my track car blew up and I won't be racing this weekend after all so am off to California Speedway this weekend. Will they refund tickets if there is (God Forbid) a rain out? That would be fan friendly (Rememeber the tickets were refunded for the USGP, even...

The problem here is that taxable income has not been defined in the law above. It can be successfully argued (I don't have the case reference in my head, I would have to look it up, but I think it is in the documentary cited above.) that taxable income has been defined in the courts as gainful...

See its not so hard. :wink: Not one blatantly untrue statement there, but we disagree on our interpretation of the information. Which is awesome -

Now there I can't have a valid argument against that statement. WRC has some of the craziest Mofo's around, and they are damn fine drivers of racing cars, that's for sure.

Ha ha, you're right! Which makes his plan even better!

Heh heh, of course, different strokes for different folks. I'm sure you are aware that at least 2 golf bags fit into the trunk of the NSX, right?

Those two things... http://www.f1technical.net

Its funny how the race actually turned out this past weekend after Coultard opened his mouth. Almost too convenient...

Re: The driver or the car............. Ha ha ha!!! Of course you're right! It seems the STR cars really are even worse than the Honda cars!! Speed could have finished in the same spot this weekend I'm sure :biggrin:

Absolutely. Nobody's saying you can't have your opinion on something or that you shouldn't voice it. It's just that you keep basing that opinion on things that just aren't true, like anti-lock brakes, clutchless transmissions, and brake assisting traction control, for examples. Just admit...

The reason I brought up those things is because the structure of your argument in the discussion has been built on them. Your car turns very high RPM's for a street car, especially of its generation. You said who cares if an F1 car turns 16,000 RPMs, and I'm saying you can't honestly tell me...

Yes, but the reason NASCAR was so successful in marketing in the mass media was because the format is so mass media friendly. Think about it - you have big oval stadiums for maximum seating capacity, which also allows for the current stadium format coverage of the sport that is already in place...

Do you even track your car? Let's see how easy it is...you have TCS on your NSX too...I suppose that makes it useless to even take to the track since it will be too easy. Or do you turn yours off (as you should)? It's funny how I just refuted every one of your unfounded, unresearched, and...

That is just really crazily amazing. Great Job!!! I can't believe the gearbox didn't explode into a million pieces, that is some driving!!!

That is one AWESOME thing about NASCAR: full HD broadcasting. It is really stupid for F1 to still not have this.
