Double RBR podium. Mercedes guys driving like this is NASCAR. Both McHondas in the points. Most entertaining race of the year.

What the hell happened to the Williams cars? I didn't expect anything great but behind the 2 Saubers?

Mine has been good so far (I just hit 59k). Only issue that has impacted me is intercooler icing which was solved by running a grille block in the winter. I would like to get rid of it before 100k just because there are a lot of weird/expensive issues that concern me but we'll see. If I do keep it past that I'll strip the dpf/egr/etc emissions crap off because that seems to be the source of most of the issues you read about on forums.

Cost of maintenance/parts is the biggest issue I have had.

I will say, I don't think Ferrari wins again this year, and I do think McHonda comes back strong with the 2012 Yazz Sport.
Took less than 24 hours for your prophecy to prove false.

Alonso 5th and he didn't have to push this time! Impressive.

Nico (Rosboig) threw away a **** ton of points today, but more importantly lost ground to Hams when he should've been leading him.

Hard to win a championship as the slower AND less consistent guy...

Great races back 2 back but now we have to wait 4 weeks...

Only if Daniel was able to pass Nico cleanly, I think he would of beat Seb and come in first place again.

I like how Jensen was saying you really have to look at the situation on how they McHonda got double points and shouldn't be impress. lol. Jensen probably could of place better if he had the option tires at the end. He said he was struggling towards the end.

I suppose the Manor win would have been too unbelievable, so they had to settle for Ferrari and dedicate the win to the would be future Ferrari driver.

Well done Toto for playing along.

Bastards. Been there before.

What year? My buddy picked up a 2010 or 2012 S4 last year from up in CT. I *think" it had 30k miles on it. Can't recall what he paid doe.

EDIT: 2010. Had to replace the trans when he bought it. Have fun!

Rosboig pulled a Grosjean move on Ricciardo. He thought he cleared him and came across. The Ricciardo dive bomb was fair enough and didn't cause the booboo. Thinking he was totally in front did.

I won't bash Britney for it. She suffered enough yesterday when she realized how bad she fuct up.

Hate to tell you Rita that an S4 in Dulles was driven by a ******. I hope that doesn't bother you when you wrap your cute fingers around that thick steering wheel.

on a good note, the miles will all be highway miles. Bumper to bumper highway miles, but highway miles nonetheless.

You probably didn't want to see your boy Lew self destruct anyways. Even if he left with a bigger lead anyways, it wasn't a pretty weekend for him.
