My only gripe with them is they're a bunch of cheaters in the ALMS with Porsche being the underdog.

This is the car that should be on a P-car board!

My favorite thing about China is that they still use pull tabs on their canned beer.

Too bad they stopped making them (only 40,080 units made, <25,000 with the LS2). Maybe they would have sold a little better if they made even a small attempt at marketing them. Yeah the styling isn't the most unique, but I love mine as a daily driver that can comfortably carry me and 3 of my friends to 60 in 4.6 seconds IMHO it is the best bang for the buck out there right now...

Your comment would have been a lot funnier if it had been true It was a GTO gathering, not a car but, good good try anyway.

Porsche is the underdog? Isn't Porsche well known for bending/breaking the rules but *****ing when someone else does it? Like when they *****ed about the BMW M3GTR? Yea, poor Porsche, always the underdog...not.

Walking around in Shanghai this afternoon in high density tourist areas...

Locals playing cards waiting for an open air play to start.


Cyclist on a busy shopping street.


The local ball dress rental street. Dresses hanging on the street after cleaning.


Mahjong Players on the street.


That is a rod and tackly from the 1800s.


Mao and his buddies hanging out in a curio store.


At first i thought they were props


On closer inspection, they appear to be preserved pig heads. Yum.

Pic could have been an old race. Could have been Massa.
Could have been on the way to the pits.

Doesn't mean much and shouldn't have been a spoiler.

the wheel cover has only been used for a good handfull of races......and ferrari has had no flats this season if i remember correctly......so maybe it was a spoiler

Doesn't mean it's a 'spoiler', though.

If you see the picture, then watch the race, then call it a spoiler......cart before the horse?

Nah, just Tivo it. Local US papers rarely cover any F1 results anyway - you have to really look for the results in order to 'be spoiled'. In the Northwest, anyway.

Technically it is a "spoiler" in this case a rear spoiler and a flat tire, but a spoiler non the less...

True
I have 3 girls though (a 31 yr old, a 3yr old and a 22 month old) that have a different idea on how to spend a Sunday afternoon...
