Cancer Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 I am waiting for the natural evolution to make the next step, and merge NASCAR with the required right to bear arms, and it just goes full-on autoduelling. Then I might watch motor sports again, which I haven't since about 1970. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It occurred to me last night that between the pandemic, climate change, polarized politics, and peak oil, the Car Wars universe might turn out to be awfully prescient.

Well, at least please tell me soccer isn't a real sport? Interpretive dance, maybe, but not soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 WSPD cracked a ring of car thieves. The thieves range from six to nineteen. The 19 year old is in jail waiting for bail money. Out of the 200 cars stolen, the police have found 40 of them CES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlord Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 Basketball and soccer players get rewarded for flopping. If baseball players were rewarded for making it look like the pitch hurt, they'd be faking pain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, F1 is Fisher Price with engines. 😁 Note: sadly, looking at some of those cars, I might feel safer, in a car by Fisher Price/Tonka. Edit: scratch that, the abuse I laid upon my Tonka toys as 3 year old. Those things were indestructible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(mildly) Though, I guess basketball/soccer refs like being played for fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there wasn't a ring leader, or they didn't catch him in their roundup. The kid sitting in jail is at the high end of their pick up. These kids would steal a car, drive around, tell their friends how to steal them, and then ditch the car. It was like a stand alone complex CES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
