I’m gonna make some very cool guy famous!
The other day I had the good fortune to be blessed by the coolest guy in the world!
While in Wal-mart, this super cool guy approached my vehicle and removed the 6 Jack-In-The-Box Antenna balls and scattered them around the parking lot. When I returned I found a couple on the floor, and a couple on other vehicles nearby. I want to publicly congratulate this cool guy, and even give him an award for “The Coolest Guy in the World” but unfortunately I don’t know who he is!
So, Mr. Cool Guy, please please send me your name, number, and full address so I can properly label your trophy!!

Ok… you got me. “More” in Portuguese is “mais”.
In his home town, Felipe Massa took pole position and held first during most of the Brazilian Formula One Race on Sunday proving himself a contender and elevating to hero status. There is no doubt in my mind that he could have won that final race well ahead of everyone else. But he didn’t. Why not?
According to www.crash.net, Massa “promised to do everything within his power to aid Ferrari team-mate Kimi Raikkonen’s title bid.” A man of his word Massa, though holding first place during the race over his team-mate, started to slow his pace allowing Kimi to pass him for the championship winning 10-points awarded for first place. This vaulted Kimi just one point above the tied at 109 McLaren team-mates Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. Afterwards, the Associated Press quoted Kimi saying, “Felipe has worked hard… he’s been a big help.”
Of course in the world of racing, a team-mate is expected to make such sacrifices and sometimes, they may even be an unwritten rule, especially if one isn’t in championship contention as Massa hadn’t been. But to allow a win to slip away on your own home turf with millions of adoring fans proud of their home-grown racing hero, requires an amount of honor seen very little of in our world.
While I must admit that I was rooting for Hamilton (along with most racing fans eager to see star rookies of Michael Jordan caliber win it all), I must say that I am truly impressed by the attitudes and demeanor of these spectacular drivers. Though without the “W”, Massa proved to his fans his unrelenting determination, harnessed skill, and noble character this past weekend and I can’t imagine Brazilians being any more proud! Awesome job, Felipe!

The latest artist rendition of Plato himself… well Colbert Plato that is, the other great white philosopher… Clinton’s words, not mine.
Glad to be the first on the intardweb to have this posted!

I’d like to publicly express a will and commitment to start a subscription to whatever television network is willing to provide me World Rally Championship, Formula 1, JGTC/Super GT, or Formula D coverage!
I already have ESPN and Speedtv, both of which neglect motorsports of which drivers have in their single pinky ten-fold the skill of any championship NASCAR driver.
Any television network (even if it be Lifetime) would greatly increase their viewership by including coverage of these automotive events! I vow to purchase whatever dish, satellite, cable source necessary… just someone please start it!
Meanwhile there is a petition (old but still good) to get less NASCAR and bring back WRC on Speedtv here:
