Jr. nation all the way. If he's out then Tony Stewart. Old school Dale Sr. fan from the 80s until he died. Also Liked Bill Elliot just because he's from Ga. and DW. Dislikes? As long as a Bush brother crashes it's a good race! :lol: And I don't hate Jimmy Johnson but god I get tired of him winning.
 
I'm a Gordon fan since I was 7 years old. Sad he is doing poorly in his last season.

Otherwise I am a Truex fan (live in Denver and his team is based here. Actually they are the ONLY team not based in NC) and a Larson fan. I want Larson to get a win so badly. He is a GOOD driver.

Jimmy is SO BORING, but he clearly has the best team/ crewchief and is a good driver. Just too calculated and boring. His car is also WAY too good every week. drives right around people while on old tires like it is nothing.

I HATE keselowski. Biggest dick in the series and a generally terrible person.
 
I like Gordon too although I didn't when he first started racing. I wish he was doing better this season as well. He's moving to the broadcast booth next year. I would have liked to have seen him with the Cup one last time.
 
He still can, he just has had no breaks this season. Mostly his team f***ing up or getting wrecked.

I also like Danica to be honest. The sport needs her and I wish she would get picked up by a good team. If you have ever seen her out of a NASCAR and in a grand-am or Rolex GT car you would know she is a GOOD driver. Top of the top in other forms of racing.
 
Nascar is hard to drive. Remember when Juan Pablo and Gordon swapped cards when he was F1? Gordon was 1 sec off the F1 pace the first time he was in the car. Juan Pablo sucked the whole time he drove Cup cars. That was awesome when he killed the jet dryer!
 
That was nuts. I thought the driver of the jet dryer was done for. :lol:

And yeah, they are VERY hard to drive. I have driven a NASCAR K&N series car multiple times and it is NOT easy. They have absolutely no grip at all compared to other racecars I have driven. Plus driving with multiple degrees positive camber on the left but negative on the right is VERY wonky.
 
Tiny - Oh, yeah...its not like I just watched an entire Angel game on TV from the first pitch to the last..haha...ha....he....I WAS TRYING TO KILL TIME, OK?!

Gunit- NICE! So you were right below me. Best seats i had was a few weeks ago FIRST ROW third base line closer to the infield....awesome. I was in section 409 yesterday. You live in anaheim?
 
Our bird passed away from some weird thing, his head was bloody but he didnt make any noise...

Aww 🙁 Sorry for your loss man....hurts to lose any pet.Those things were beautiful.

Just got back from the angel game....we walked off (we won) on a wild pitch! It was 98 degrees...in the sun. My dad and brother had to break their fasts....Im still chugging along..thirsty.
 


I hate afternoon / day games. I usually come back from them partially sunburned and have to change my shirt. :lol:

Has anybody bought pc parts on 4th of july sales? Are the sales really noticeable? I'm getting a bit impatient on this upgrade haha

Hmmm... I guess that would depend on the upgrade and what's being offered on the sale. I'm thinking about getting a new CPU cooler to go with my Dark Knight rig - I'm debating between sticking with an air cooler and going with something like a Phanteks TC12 or trying liquid again and getting a Corsair H100i.
 
It's a Q6600 not a Q6660. :)

The Q6600/Q6700 were the first quad core CPUs from Intel. They were basically two E6600 dual core chips on the same die.
 


Yeah I had a workstation with a Core 2 Duo T6600 back in the day. System lasted me a long time until I realized I couldn't run current versions of Autodesk software and upgraded to X79 a couple years ago.
