GRIN: Testar … tesTOSTero… er, “TESLA”?? lol

12-Oct-09

I’m sorry, but you don’t have to be Don Johnson to know the difference here, lol …
Here’s the Testarossa:

And here’s the freakin’, sigh … “TESLA”, the junkbox Speed Channel actually had the audacity to … AHEM … entirely bum me out about the future of “clean”, um, “RIDES” with:

I mean, seriously … if I’d ever [...]

Piquet, Sr. is SO, well … piqued? lol

19-Sep-09

And I thought that MY Dad used to be protective …
Nelson Piquet Sr is threatening to take Flavio Briatore to court in order to prevent his son from continuing to pay the disgraced former Renault team principal 20 per cent of his earnings.
Briatore resigned on Wednesday after apparently ordering Piquet Jr to [...]

INDY: Farmin’ Out American Open-Wheel’s Opening Race

23-Jun-09

Ok, so … let’s take what’s left of America’s “elite” motorsports, or, ok, in some circles, what’s considered American muscle(ISH-as-it-relates-to-open-wheel-anyway-because-anyone-can-put-a-balsam-wood-454-car-together-and-do-about-the-same), and/OR American pride in the ‘INDY’ name alone, and just … shoot it all somewhere ELSE for the season’s opening race … like, especially, to a South American country, because God knows we’re ALL GREAT [...]

MEDIOT: Owens Delivers Kahne Win Pith – Petty Style

23-Jun-09

Honestly, I don’t even have to bring my poison pen out this time … no need, because this “writer” is SO rich with melodramatic flutz, that, if you hit his story link? You’ll piss yourself off for having wasted your time reading it, lol …

Kahne’s win was one of the most popular victories this season [...]

NASCAR: Kahne Takes Sonoma While Neda Brings Tears

21-Jun-09

So, I’m finally posting again, grin … go figure.
I can’t tell you that I watched the end of today’s Cup race without emotion. In fact, the last several laps were actually exciting, and that had a lot to do with double-file restarts. Kudos to Kahne for making it happen for Petty (et.al.), and kudos (can’t [...]

DAYTONA 500: Junior owes no apology to Vickers

18-Feb-09

Grumpy chewed on this thing for a couple of days. I read all the pundits. I listened to Brian Vickers and others. I listened to all the comments given to the media by Dale Earnhardt jr.
Grumpy’s take: One car was coming fast. One car moved to block. As the field hurled into turn 3 at, oh [...]

Daytona: BUD Shootout has new look

06-Feb-09

Daytona International Speedway. At last, the sound of cup cars on the track for practice today. The format for this Shootout is not the same. Gone are the winners of poles from the previous season. There is a reason for that. If you noticed, last year, the pole award was sponsored by COORS. It would [...]

CLASSICS: Buyers Year at Barrett-Jackson

16-Jan-09

SCOTTSDALE, AZ. If you love cars, you are watching all or part of the annual Barrett-Jackson car auction on SPEED TV. Grumpy loves cars. Lots of cars. I thrill to see the beauties that cross the block at each B-J event. Looks like the troubled financial times have made a dent in the hobby.
I am [...]
