You mean DCA?

Trucks are hot too. Not fast trucks though. 4x4 trucks, trucks that can climb mountains. Muddy trucks. I like shiny fast cars and powerful muddy trucks.

SHINY?! WHERE!?

I have gone to several NHRA races and, I'm very happy about it because I don't ever have to go again. The cars I find "hot" are ones that are out of both my price range and lifestyle. Like a vintage Jag convertable or a James Bond Aston Martin.

Cars that have sexy naked women in them are sexy.

I didn't scroll down the first time. I'm so sorry I scrolled the second time.

Be gone evil picture!

Ahhh, much better.

I'm not a car guy. My mantra my whole life has been that I don't care so long as it gets me where I'm going.

So it was quite a shock when one of these moved in across the street from my office and I have been in perpetual car-lust ever since. The 2003 Mercedes SL500 hard-top convertable is automotive perfection (at least when looking from the outside; never been in one and starting at $80,000 never will).

I always thought the sport of auto racing was all about seeing the grusome wrecks? That's all that appealed to me anyway.

I'm marginally interested in oval track racing. I don't follow it to the point of knowing who's won what races and where they are in the standings, but I know who more than a handful of the drivers are, recognize several of the cars, and at least look up who wins the major events of the year. On rare occasions I'll watch a few laps. A race is not just about the crashes. If you know what you're watching, it's a long and gruelling mental battle. On the surface, all of the cars are equally powerful, all the drivers are equally skilled. So it comes who can keep their focus and make the best decissions with the fewest mistakes over 300, 400, 500 miles at 200 miles per hour, wedged into a car that gets up over 100 degrees and shakes the hell out of you.

I can understand why a lot of people don't watch it. It's a slow developing drama and takes a long time to get the whole story. Like I said, I rarely actually pay attention any more. But I know enough to know that it's more than cars going in a circle and crashing, whether non-fans can see it or not.

I just saw the dumbest thing. A car was driving backwards on a pretty busy street near our house. The idiot behind the wheel was saying, 'Git Er Done, Git Er Done. Yeehaw.' Or some sh!t like that. Teenagers! Ugh.
