Only thing missing from this race is red shells and bananas.

I'm enjoying it.

that was a pretty shunt he had. Car was a complete right off.

anyone else think that Verp's late blocks should be illegal? They outlawed the double move/weave to stop cars hitting each other, but he's basically skipping the foreplay and blocking anyways after the attacking car makes a move.

Yea that block on Kimi (or was it vettel?) was pretty stupid especially since it was for like 14th lol. If it was a podium spot then I wouldn't blame him

It was Verp and Kimi. And it was **** under any circumstance IMO.

Well yea I agree but if it was last few laps and for 3rd or even 10th and up for a point I could at least see some justification. Mid race for a **** position come on now

Just watched the race on DVR. I haven't heard Varsha's silky smooth voice in ages. Anyways, it wasn't Button's fault that the Manor ran into him. Just a chain reaction so put that hand of disgust down.

Max I think also had more than one move defending against Vettel too. I guess the stewards were afraid of the orange mob and what they would do if he were penalized.

Anyone catch the IndyCar race? What a finish.

Oh yeah forgot to tell you guys I found this ad a day after it was posted but it was already sold. =(

G2IC - 1992 Integra GS-R


Reluctantly I am posting my frost white 1992 GS-R for sale. I never planned to sell it but between house projects and working on my civic I'm feeling stretched thin financially. I purchased the car from the original owner (little old lady) almost two years ago. It has always been garaged and adult owned. Never raced or abused. California car it's whole life so there is no corrosion what so ever. The only modifications are: k&n fipk, tanabe medalion cat back. Koni yellow shocks w/ stock springs, hard race rta bushings. Current mileage is 143,030, but it looks and drives like it has half that. The car is in great shape inside and out. The interior still smells new. There is one small blemish on the passenger seat. The paint is still nice and glossy. There is one door ding and a small dent. Front and rear bumpers have been repainted. I had a set of oem bumper plugs painted as well. I think it looks really nice without the front plate. The car is easily a 9 out of 10 inside and out. It runs great. Shifts well. No problem lights. A/c blows cold. I have a folder full of receipts from since the car was brand new as well as the original window sticker. Since I have owned the car I have done regular maintenance such as replaced the cam seal, vtec solenoid &distributor seals, done oil changes every 6 months (I only drive it a few thousand miles a year) changed the transmission fluid. I am sad to be doing this. I want the car to go to someone who will appreciate it as I do. There are very few original gsr's left in this condition so my hope is it will be preserved. Asking price is $6000. For that price I will include the thule roof rack as well. Located in Santa Rosa CA. Sorry no trades.
The only negative I can think of is the car currently doesnt have a radio. When I purchased the car the speakers were bad and the antennae was stuck in the up position. The motor would kick on but the antennae was seized. This annoyed me so I took out and saved the oem radio, speakers and antennae/ motor. I put in a factory plastic block off plate and a rubber oem antennae plug. If the new owner wished to return it to stock all it would need is some new speakers and a working antennae. I also saved the original intake. The exhaust was a non standard (cheap muffler shop replacement) when I purchased it so sadly I dont have that. Thanks for looking.

Some are saying Max reminds them of Senna's aggressiveness.

I agree on Fred's pit incident. You are traveling the same speed and won't be able to get him out the pits. And the commentators pointed out how the Haas mechanic had to get out of Fred's way.
