    Did Toyota buy Fox Sports, seems like they've been mentioning Toyota almost every other minute. Wish there was a local MRN station so I could just mute these clowns and listen to some decent play by play.

    Cup race looks like it's going to go on as scheduled today but Xfinity race has been postponed once again to 9pm after the jet dryers crashed while drying the track off before the race. I get the feeling this is going to be a long NASCAR season of goof ups.
  8. They don't, it's a 2009 model year. Only 35k miles though and it still had the new car smell. I cringed when my mechanic said what Pontiac used to stand for lol.
  9. If it's moonshine it could be used as fuel Translator
  10. Pontiac G8, my new to me car I've been enjoying since November. Quite fast but drinks gas like a college girl on spring break

    Enjoy this season as it will probably be the last that has an actual car body. There won't be a Camaro for 2025 and GM as well as Ford want to race "CUV's because that's what they mostly make anymore.
  13. John Schneider was on the latest season, great episode. You can watch it here https://circlenow.circleallaccess.com/apps/321/1471097-1501079/d8551a222422bc70f462f7f0f2d73403-1471963-1502027/3855a42a6cdc27c63880476f81228e03-1223211-1250541/2ee46b9a705d6975b8d93c7e4ff70060-1517647-1553011/98ecb64ab2c99775438be48e4d74e00d-1572910-1614614?mode=details
  14. Been a hot minute since I've checked in. Yeah I'm still alive and kicking. Wife's been having some health issues going on over the summer that we hope will be taken care of soon. The car search is still ongoing, in fact I'm in the middle of "negotiations" on one but they're being hard headed because of the uaw strike even though afaik I'm the only one that has made an offer on it in the 38 days it's sat on their lot so far. I didn't make a low-ball offer either, I offered right in the middle of what KBB says it's worth, they have it priced above KBB. Almost bought one of my dream cars but I passed on it for a few reasons. It was a '09 Pontiac G8 GT, showroom new condition even though it had 75k miles on it. The owner even vacuumed and wiped down the interior after every drive. Was such a beautiful car I couldn't turn it into my daily driver. Plus the owner really didn't want to sell it but has 6 cars. He contacted me the other day asking if I'd be interested in one of his other cars. Work has turned into a depressing place because one person couldn't take a joke. They got a free paid day off while the rest of us got our a**es chewed out. So now all the holiday party's for the rest of the year have been cancelled cuz it all started with someone's birthday party a month ago. All the coworkers agreed no more party's till that person retires, quits or gets fired. It's so quiet there now you can literally hear the bugs skitter across the floor lol. I've been listening to a lot of Dale Earnhardt jr podcasts to kill time while I work now. Speaking of him put out a series on his dad called Becoming Dale Earnhardt about his dad's first season in Winston Cup series, well worth listening to if you're a fan of NASCAR in the late 70's early 80's.
  15. Yes Yahoo done away with the Groups section quite a few years ago.
  16. Wife and a friend surprised me yesterday by dragging me out to go fishing. First time since around 2013-14. Good to know casting is like riding a bike, you don't forget how to. I was the only one that caught a fish , and that little bullhead let me know it didn't appreciate being caught by stabbing me with one of his pokers while removing the hook lol. Stopped at a pizza joint after fishing since it was highly rated by locals, yes it was good. Was a nice way to cap off my birthday weekend, especially after the lousy Saturday visit with my dad that lasted just 10 minutes but that was as much as I could bear. Was going to go test drive a few cars Saturday but after that visit I cancelled that as I didn't want to drive anybody else's car angry. Unfortunately the interest rate sale is ending at the credit union and I won't be getting a car before that ends so I'll be paying the higher interest rates or I could just buy another SL that popped up at a local dealership and just keep driving a boring car till electric cars take over.
  17. I bet the rehab nurses and PT's threw a party Friday as my dad got released. Going to have to see if a local Starbucks or Tim Hortons has a bunch of $5 gift cards to hand out to them as an apology for his behavior. I don't know what has gotten into him but my patience is wearing thinner than a strand of hair. The way he has treated his brother the past few months is shameful. Friday I had my fill, told my dad he should be nicer but he didn't like hearing that so I left before I said something I'd regret. I came home and finished off a bottle of JD.

    Penske Enterprise which owns the track and Indycar series is giving her a new car Interesting how far nascar has strayed from its roots. Chase Elliott has been parked for one race for spinning Denny Hamlin into the wall. Growing up watching nascar in the 1980's driver's rarely got penalized this severely for wrecking opponents. Usually the drivers worked it out amongst themselves or the France's would slap them with a huge fine. Corey Lajoie will be driving the #9 this weekend.
