I can explain it...

Everyone here owns a honda, so in some strange way they think that F1 represents them. They think that they are TRUE honda enthusiasts because they are F1 fanatics.

I'll buy it when I see an open wheeled S2000 on the road with no windsheild and a V8 that revs 16k or whatever.

I actually don't watch any racing on TV. Maybe it's because I don't have Speed or ESPN, heck I barely have Cable What I do know is that watching the cars going around an oval doesn't do it for me. There's that and it seems to me that advertising seems to really be more deeply entrenched in motorsports, especially, NASCAR than other sports (like in comparison to say, baseball) which makes me want to watch it even less. I understand that someone needs to sponser the cars, but it's just way out of control.

I understand being bored by oval tracks. I prefer watching races on road courses myself. A piece of NASCAR bashing logic that alludes me is how IRL races are just fine... but for some reason NASCAR races are entirely different and far inferior.

sell it for 35k and I'm in line in a heartbeat.

if these weren't ~100K I'd buy one of these.


The closer they make it to a motorcycle with four wheels the better I like it.
