I dont think anyone is firing a 5oz ball at 90mph at you at your desk...just sayin'

 

You haven't been near my desk lately!!!

 

OK, my turn again. Pretty hot summer this year, right? I'm not a big coffee guy, especially when its broiling out but a co-worker turned me on to iced coffee. Perfect, good and cold on a hot morning. But then I noticed something. Dunkin Donuts - reg (ie hot) coffee: $1.55 / iced coffee: $1.95. McD - reg coffee $1 / iced coffee $1.75. Starbucks - reg coffee $1.75 / iced coffee: $2.

So WTF? Its like going to a restaurant and having to pay for ice in your water. Why do I have to pay more for cold coffee vs hot coffee?

 

WTF?

My rant is about some the Indycar announcers. Maybe if I would have watched it live, instead of watching it immediately after the F1 race yesterday, it wouldn’t have seemed as bad.
I won’t go into much rant about Jack Arute – his “making fuel” comment is about as bad as someone saying “they replaced the front nose…” As opposed to the rear nose?? Where else is there a nose on a car? But when he had two small fans to demonstrate wheel to wheel contact – I would just forward the broadcast everytime they went to him.
I don’t know what year Bob Jenkins thinks it is, or if he was drinking with Brent Mussburger before the race, but my fav quote of his was “all of the girls are together on the track, huh huh huh huh…..” Did he go to the Scott Goodyear school of broadcasting?

And what is a “nugget” of downforce? Is that the technical term from the Nascar dictionary? Is it 20lbs, 100lbs, 500lbs? I don’t know, and apparently, the announcers didn’t know either – it might be because Beekhouse (sp) is too busy laughing at his own stupid quips. If Robbie Buel wasn’t up there, I don’t know if I could watch anymore races, because at least one person knows what is going on.

 

Varsha Hobbs and Matchet are the best there is IMHO

The tool they have in the pits is just that a tool; at least Windsor had a clue about what was going on

......back to the Versus coverage of the IRL

Jack Arute is a phuque wad of epic proportions, he's an attention whore and should be relegated to wrestling coverage

On another note thank god Bobby Unser retired from the announce booth

 

Amen to that!
It's not a wicker bill, it's a Gurney

 

Agree w/F1 announcing crew, they make me lol at least half a dozen times every race. Especially Hobbs.

OK, onto my bitch. How come everything is fine until the warrenty runs out? Or the car is paid off? I'm on the last payment for the Odessey and, of course, all hell has started to break loose this month. It steers like a bus (prolly the notorious steering rack going bad), the rear is extra bouncy (my guess, worn rear struts) and, starting at around 35 mph, sounds like a lunar rocket at liftoff (my guess, bad wheel bearing).

 

Depending on what the issue is, there are a few things you can try to tighten up or adjust
