Asking for government help. Be careful what you ask for, unless you are a big bank... :wink:

Its not NASCRAP anymore, it is now to be called ASIACAR with entries from Korea (Hyndai), Japan (Toyota), China (Sunny or something). oh, and I guess Ford since they have not sucked off the government taxpayer teat yet... :roll:

Maybe Chrysler will stay in after FIAT buys them. See if the cars can last the full 500 miles before they rust through.

I did agree with this part:

In order to receive this money, corporations must demonstrate they will spend it wisely. Racing has been said to improve on-road technology, but frankly, NASCAR almost flaunts its standing among the lowest-tech forms of motorsport. NASCAR is not proven to drive advancements that transfer from the racetrack to the road, and this nation’s way forward does not hinge on decades-old technology. We need new, and we need innovation.”

Google did a kinda neat one ... neat in the sense that you just never really know about Google ... it's so believable that it just might be true :lol:

The article is still there. But they added:

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY! THIS IS A JOKE. LIGHTEN UP, PEOPLE.


Oh well. It was funny for a few minutes. Now they had to actually tell people it is a joke. Somehow takes the fun out of it... :lol:
