if you're a VET fan, no.

if you're a honda fan, no.

if you're a Verstchappen fan, no.

for everyone else it was great.

RIC: "i like em vulnerable"

i watched more of this monza qualy/race than any monza since 2008, and i wanted VET to win

This week's race was fun IMO.

The front two spots were never under pressure, but everywhere else the racing was really fun.

Am I weird for saying that my favorite part of the race were the ultimately anti-climactic battles between Ocon & Stroll?

You're weird because you have canards on your S2000 and a hot wheels collection consisting of 4 cars.

I'm weird because I follow F1 daily, but find the races utterly boring.

I'm staying at the Baymont Inn in Plymouth, WI and the free wifi keeps dropping. What can I do to stop this? I have to restart my laptop every few minutes. Anyways, got a Camaro RS V6 with 8-speed auto and paddle shifters. I can pretend F1. =P

Sadly no. I spent all day/night after work yesterday securing everything. Boarded up all the windows, stored all loose items, i have plenty of supplies on hand to last me at least 4 days but can stretch it out to a week or so if it's really bad afterwards. My brother did offer for me and my family to stay with him in MD, and that invite is looking a little more inviting every day lol.

it's good and bad you know? there's no panic/hysteria in the lead-up, but when the biggy hits it's gonna be 60-90 seconds of trying to not get crushed/impaled followed by weeks of survival, months of rebuilding, and years of recovery.

Ooh, Miami looking bad in latest projections.
