Good for her...I hope she has a blast!!!

I love the JCC series...I wish it were easier to keep up with over here. (...or start a franchise in the US as they've done in Germany)

Because its a real racecar. Looking at that tight track, all is to be gained or lost in those turns. This car is setup for some serious outside tire grip. Of course the steering goes into drunk tipsy mode in the straights.

So Puke (err... Ralphie boy) finally got married... to a WOMAN? I could have sworn he was GAY! I KNOW that he is personally sponsored by a Gay Sex Shop in Germany.

I am surprized that his contract lets her drive anything but a Toyota!

I saw that too, but thought it was nothing but camera angle. The track shot shows it straight up.

uhmmm, kind of UNNECESSARY statement(no I am not European for the question marks, parents are). Reminds me of a thread that I made a mistake of using an abbreviation for Japanese (no bad intentions what-so-ever), I got bombarded (you got to be careful)

true, but name calling a particular country in a racial term which also is a member's identity is much more severe.

you and I had this conversation before:smile: , I am absolutely opposed to any kind of racism. I just did not like the homosexuality being associated with Europeans, even in a joke. Stupid...

Homosexuals are found in all nations and ethnicities. I have known many homosexuals in my long life and none of them have been stupid. They have all been delightful. I hope you reconsider your remarks.

Don't get upset for the europeans & gays, they love tasteless jokes & tell some raunchy ones, not for the PC crowd.
