Title: Nascar
Post by: Gilly on November 03, 2008, 04:25:35 AM
There is no way I can put into words how much I dislike NASCAR but this picture does the trick.

I'm glad Barack's not going around pretending to be a NASCAR fan. John Kerry tried to do that, and it was pathetic.

nascar is awful.  I always heard that you have to see it live to appreciate it.  One of my clients took us to a race in Vegas and it was terrible.  They did have like 5 flyovers during the pre-race festivities, though.

Someone once made a quiz where you had to guess if the person in the photo was a NASCAR driver or a pro fisherman. I looked for it but Google has let me down. Rats.

Do you mean that non athletic sport centered around rednecks?

i don't know anyone around here who watches it, but i have heard the "driving isn't a sport" spiel enough times to make my own wheels spin. driving is a sport - a very dumb one watched by people who don't realize there's about 1000 better things to do with your time than look at a bunch of dummies go around in circles wasting precious gasoline.

Haha, this reminds me of something I read last spring. Apparently those flyovers cost over $250grand to stage. I read that the Air Force is going to cut down on them to save money.

John Kerry pretending to be a RED SOX fan was pathetic enough, nevermind the foreign sport of nascar.
