  - Humans are a lot more variable than car engines. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 08:45 2
    - So basically I got sub in for Jimmie Johnson and probably win a few. The human still has to perform at a level above the competition. - Christmas VacaShaun Dec 16, 08:49 1
      - of course...but in auto racing; the strength of the car's design is much higher than in other sports related to talent of the athlete. - Will Hunting Dec 16, 08:53
- The New York Yankees could rock that shit. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 08:41
Dude, people have a problem with *golf* being a sport, and you're gonna bring up *driving*? (nm) - musubi Dec 16, 08:39 21

      - AND...it has nothing to do with what I like and don't like. - Jim Dec 16, 08:55
      - you should watch more puppets. nm - Jim Dec 16, 08:54
  - You misinterpret me, I think it's a sport, I just imagine that the *people arguing against golf* will likely have a heart attack at the suggestion. - musubi Dec 16, 08:45 1
    - i've heard that when you're going so fast around curves it's like 4Gs on your body. I think that's pretty physical. but there's also the mental aspe - Fednog Dec 16, 08:47
- musubi, why is your "nm" different from everyone elses? (nm) versus --nm? -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 08:41 7
  - Because I'm special. (nm) - musubi Dec 16, 08:43 6
    - i know, i keep clicking your posts to read more...it's psyching me out. is there an option to change it or are you a super programmer like Bery? -- nm - Fednog Dec 16, 08:44 5
      - I want to be special too! (nm) - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 16, 08:47

        I'm liking him more and more. (nm) - musubi, Super Programmer! Dec 16, 08:46
- it's unquestionably a sport. But F1 racing may be the most boring professional sport. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 08:40 4
  - except for the possibility of seeing a spectacular crash - Roger More Dec 16, 08:46
  - I don't disagree with any of this. (nm) - musubi Dec 16, 08:44
  - Nah, that's baseball. -- nm - Christmas VacaShaun Dec 16, 08:41
