      I used to be a F1 snob, but after a few years of trying to get into NASCAR, I like it a lot now.

      The cars are all relatively equal, so it's a proper test of driver skill, and easier to measure one driver against the next. Also, while there is a lot of 'go fast, turn left', if you watch the races at the superspeedways (e.g., Daytona, Talladega), you can see just how much the cars actually move. And racing in a pack at 200mph takes balls of steel.

      I still can't get into the short tracks and can't stand seeing the cars on road courses, but before you completely write off NASCAR, try watching the Daytona 500 next February.

      And, it's perfect for a nap. Watch the beginning, fall asleep, wake up in time for the last 50 laps.

        I like rally car and Baja racing and wish those were on TV more…

          Alcohol is much worse for your body than marijuana. I'm not talking about drugs, since I have a prescription to use marijuana. If you think otherwise, your straight ignorant.

            Mike it's still a drug, prescription or not. It's a mind altering substance (and yes, I know coffee is a drug, never said/say otherwise).

              The cost to society of alcohol and tobacco are also staggering. Marijuana is only costly due to prohibition. I'm a non smoker but pot should be legal.

                Just read over the past few pages, and it seems this thread should be renamed "England Vs America". Can we move on now?

                Feeling left out huh ?

                      Apologies if it has bored or offended anyone, but we had fun with it.

                        As tempted as I am to talk about religion, we're asked to not discuss it in the guidelines.

                        My point was what about those of us that consider football our religion?

                              I'm not a huge fan of Aero Leather Jackets.  I think Shinki horsehide looks and wears better than Horween and that several of the high-end Japanese jacket makers, such as Real McCoy and Freewheelers, make jackets with more style and a better cut.  Most of the Aeros I've seen seem overly box-like in shape and lack the taper and lines that make a good leather jacket really pop.

                                I think bread kills you, so I'd disagree.

                                Edit: forgot I think they may do "naked" sandwiches like Jimmy John's.

                                The worst in terms of health has got to be Quizno's.

                                In an absolute pinch, I will do a salad at Subway. Spinach instead of lettuce. Turkey. Every veggie. Balsamic. It pretty much sucks, but at least I don't feel like complete shit afterward.

                                  Yeah I should talk.  Had a hot Italian sandwich at Billy Goat's at O'Hare last night. 😃

                                  I think Subway is WAY healthier than that or a place with burgers and fries and shakes.

                                        Tricky, but the sodium can be managed down there.

                                        Get steak, no salsa, some guacamole, fajita veggies, lettuce, skip the rice and beans and tortilla = 210mg of sodium. Double steak = 530 mg. even with double steak you could eat that 3 times a day and be under the recommended daily intake of sodium I think.

                                        Steak is lowest sodium of the proteins there, salsas are loaded.

                                        Think it, be it.
