Spike

Forgot to mention the wife's surgery Monday went well. Hopefully she heals up great and we can get back to living a full adventurous life again. 

I am sorry to hear all that, Spike. That is frustrating and annoying. 

So yesterday got this ridiculous note on our door, everyone else in the complex did too, I figured we'd get something this week because the complex next door had a fire over the weekend. But imo this goes to far. There's a few people that feed the stray cats and some that put bird feeders up. So in the note it said unless those people stop they will be charged a pet fee. It doesn't end there either. Grille's are now basically banned, they didn't go so far as to say that but you have to have the grill 10 feet from any structure now instead of on your patio. In the building I live in that basically means grilling in the middle of the parking lot. Here's the best one... All curtains have to be white, any other color and you will get a lease violation fine. That's funny because I went through the last lease we signed in February and there's not a  thing about only having white curtains. This note was the last straw for our next door neighbor, she told us last night that she's breaking her lease and moving out as soon as she finds another place to live as I'm sure several others are also contemplating it. I'm hoping my wife heals up fast and gets back to work so we can get the heck out of here too as this is the last straw for me too. 

Reminds me of the mushroom that gives you a boost in Mario Kart or the time Cletus had the NOS system. 

That's why I like Indycars version of DRS. It's a slight boost in power from the engine and they can use it anywhere on the track. They only get so many seconds of boost so they have to use it sparingly throughout the race. 

Yeah Larson held off Reddick thanks to NASCAR's inability to fix the 1.5 mile package. Once the 2nd car catches the lead car and is stuck in its wake there's no passing the lead car. Imo they should just make all tracks minus Daytona, Talladega and Atlanta 750+ horsepower and get rid of some of the down force. 
Garret you didn't miss much. It wasn't that exciting except on the restarts.

I am glad your wife's surgery went well. I hope she recovers well.

NASCAR officials probably noticed it during one of the many wrecks. 
As for Joey Logano's gloves I don't see the point of penalizing him as he most likely wasn't the only one wearing them during Daytona 500 qualifying. And the video they released on Twitter is so low quality that you can't tell the difference from a regular glove.

One bad thing about owning a sports sedan is people want to stop light race....a lot , especially when the lanes merge down to 1 lane. Tuesday I almost got ran off the road by one of these clowns. I just got lucky that the light turned green as I was coming up to the light so I just kept going the speed limit but apparently this jerk in a Lincoln wasn't happy and floored his SUV and as I was making my way over in front of him he put it right next to me and since there was oncoming traffic I slammed on the brakes so no one would get hit head on by that idiot. This clown was amused by this when I caught up to him at the next stop light. Really your amused at almost causing a head on collision and running someone else off the road. I was so mad at their selfishness and ignorance but remembered the local road rage shooting that happened a few weeks ago so I let bygones be bygones.

I went through that when I had my Ninja. Young men in cars see you are on something that looks fast and want to challenge you. 
It reminds me of that Waylon quote  "If any of y'all ever drive through Hazzard, well you might remember that if it's got wheels, folks tend to want to race it." (Mrs. Daisy Hogg)

That car is actually a Holden Caprice, long wheel base version of the Commodore/G8. GM imported them as Chevy Caprice's for police departments from 2011-17. Police departments could order 9C1 or 9C3 packages, 9C3 was the detective package with cloth or leather seats instead of plastic rear seat. They came with either the 3.6L V6 or 6.0L V8. The V8 Caprice was the only vehicle to pass all the CHP speed and handling testing. So if you ever find a 9C3 spec Caprice at a police auto auction buy it.

I saw Gordon a while back on you Tube and he was disguised with a hat, moustache etc. and test drove a car with the salesman inside.  Gordon was driving wild and the salesman , not knowing it was him, was yelling, " Stop this car, let me out of here! You're going to pay for this car!" Then when they got back to the dealership he jumped out and everybody was laughing and then he saw Gordon peel off his moustache and he saw who it was! LOL!  

Looks like Chase Elliott has a good shot at winning 

William Byron wins it.

I would've thought that anyone who had it taped would avoid a thread called "NASCAR News" until they'd watched it. I don't have the pay channel that shows F1 races live, so I watch the highlights a few hours later and make sure that I don't listen to the news or look at any sports websites until I know the result.

Oops didn't think about that lol, got to excited.

8 laps to go and a demolition derby breaks out.
