Because there's a dissonance

You're not weird you just don't like cars

Yeah ok

You don't like things in your rear

You don't need a nice roomy tailgate

A good push in your seat doesn't make you feel tickly

You want something really big up front and tight in the rear cabin

No one here will judge you for being a truck guy we just get frustrated at the fact that you aren't being honest

I want to drive a Mercedes team race truck

Rat Attac who's your favorite f1 driver

Do you even know who's on the grid this year

Ok what about Nascar drivers

...Indy drivers?

Do you even follow motorsports

!rank

Can you name a current f1 driver

... Can you name a past f1 driver!?

Can you name an f1 team????

This guy doesn't know what f1 is

Car enthusiast

Chevy Cruze 500 mile rally

@LOGiK who's your favorite f1 driver

Wait

Bugatti makes crazy cars

But the silver arrow

Boring??

And who's your favorite current f1 driver

Hey same

Go, go fast, pretty, go with people, they are remarkable feats of engineering and the culmination of mankind's efforts to overcome the natural world.

Metals very good reason

The lights and the noises are really good

Unless it's electric

Practical Engineering is a good YouTube channel

Because it represents a really dramatic failure. That's being melodramatic

The sun has risen many more times than that, if it didn't one day it would have failed really spectacularly

Cool so that's one

Fernando Alonso is one of the best drivers on the planet. Arguably outright the single best driver on the planet. He has already won two F1 championships.

With McLaren he isn't even competitive for podiums.

F1 is almost entirely about the cars, the drivers are there to make sure the cars can be shown at full potential

Glad we've found common ground ancap

Yeah yeah

I'm a rock

I'm sorry an F1 car can't tow a boat

They'd cream their pants

Or longer, frankly.

Well that's just a weird thing to say. It is refined at the top.

Downstream developments are value enginerding

Mass production is cool and I love it and I'd be happy to make a career of it. But it's the opposite of novel.

That's fair

The idea of spec racing is just that, right? Demonstrate individual talent in a single vehicle

But I'd say even the majority of motorsports are about the tech

Pollygeist, who's your favorite F1 driver

I.E. gay

Bearing in mind also that racing is a major impetus behind a lot of our understanding of aerodynamics and fluid dynamics as entire fields

Well our point is that motorsports are not a small arena, nor are they about the drivers really in a big part of it all.

Each advance was made in the spirit of competition. Of beating the pants off the other losers.

And it was displayed in spectacular fashion doing just that

Yes, I'm doing so right now.

Right now Ferrari has some kind of voodoo magic working for them which is unseating the 4-years dominant Mercedes engines.

Watching it unfold over the course of this F1 season is wild

Well, I don't.

If I go to a fancy restaurant I'm usually hoping for a nice entree

But I still think the burger is, as a class, a more perfect food

Well what's your favorite engine configuration

Mine is boxer 6

Synchronicity

Well eventually you'll get better at telling us what you're saying

Keep practicing

I will be totally honest I only like the boxer 6 because it's one of the first engines I really learned about and is also one I feel I understand as a result of that.

That's a good #4

Dang I should have put that as one of my reasons

I think cars are fun is higher on the list than go fast, actually

Go fast is cool but mostly because it bolsters cars are fun

Piranhas

Wait but I thought we weren't asking him any questions

Well it started that way actually and has turned into this

But if you would rather talk about piranhas we could do that.

Oh no

I went to a skeleton museum recently and I was going to post a photo of a cool piranha skeleton they had

But I didn't take a photo I guess

Now I'm bummed

Spoiler sport

Piranha skulls are crazy

Piranha skulls look almost exactly the way a piranha head looks when it isn't just a skull

Like the skin is a very tight wrap of the skull

They're badass

Among the top, yeah

Do you guys have a favorite skull

Nice

I can understand that

I think piranhas generally get a bad rap

Pitbulls of the fish world

Big softies with a bad reputation

Bastard man

You know what it was a pacu skull I was looking at

I think they're cool in a really disconcerting way

Why can't you stand them then

@sexytortoiseloverboy you just contradicted yourself

Wtf

Well explain yourself
