They actually just deposited my partial refund since the next two Middle East races just got cancelled.
Yea if Mercedes is really kneecapping the teams running their PUs then you have to imagine this is partially due to McLaren mopping the floor the last couple years with a Mercedes PU in the back while the parent team couldn't compete. They're not concerned about Williams because they've built a pig but they'll likely be concerned about giving McLaren the same power advantage given what McLaren has shown to be able to do in the aero/chassis development lately.

One, or 7, of these after cutting the grass or working outside is perfect.
What he should do is move out and turn it into an AirBnb :lol:
Just watched the sprint quali highlights....

I'm still hanging in there as a -1 for Apple, my attention for F1 had started to dwindle a little, from someone that watched every FP session, quali, and each race to occasional FP sessions & quali and if I couldn't fit the race into my schedule I'd most likely just watch the replay instead of going watch the whole race I'd recorded. Putting it behind yet another subscription service that I have no interest in other than F1 hasn't really helped to reel in my attention. Maybe I'll get to a point where I can't do without but I doubt it, for now I'll stick with the highlight videos and watch whatever races they plan to air free this year, if they still plan to do so.

ETA: I really hope they publicly share the viewership numbers, I highly doubt they got close to 1.1 million for Australia.

If we go that would be the plan so that we could maximize time on the single day.

3 and under free.


I believe its 2 and under are free, I was looking at single-day tickets yesterday and that's what it showed.

We have a trip planned to south Florida over the summer, instead of flying we are considering driving, with a stop in Orlando to do a single day at Magic Kingdom. Single day tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids(3 & 5) comes to $815.00. Factor in a couple hotels along the way and we figure we can do the drive + Magic Kingdom day for ~$1500, versus flying costing ~$800-$1000 and then having to rent a vehicle for a week.

We're highly considering doing it. We figure one day at MK will be enough to scratch the itch while they're little and maybe consider a longer trip when they're a little older. Our kids handle roadtrips well, we'd be splitting the drive up into 2 days, and I hate the process of flying.

I'd bet the overwhelming majority of Disney trips is on credit cards that'll take years to pay off.

We'd love to bring our kids but refuse to drop that kind of $$ on it. We are going to the Keys this summer and considered driving, stopping in Orlando and doing just one day at Magic Kingdom and it would still be ~$1000 for just that one day.
I'll listen to one of these occasionally, usually I'll throw it on in the background at the office and listen in, this dude definitely post here. ~$450k of debt, about half of which is mortgage, boat, SxS, 401k loans, 108 month term loan on his trucks, spends a ton of sports betting, upside down on everything, etc.
He probably post here. Love the Coach O clip inserts. Just tossed in a Kelly one too.

Every so often I get concerned that we're in a financial pickle and I watch one of these podcast and realize that I'm rich compared to some of these idiots. :lol:

One word- Honda


Honda shut down their power unit program, the employees for that program went to work for Red Bull. Honda then signed with AM and hired a bunch of inexperienced engineers and mechanics to build this power unit.


The whole situation is wild to me, that a team could miss so badly in 2026, this feels like something straight out of the 80s.

Honda has been more wishy-washy than Alpine the last 5 years or so regarding F1, there was a ton of hope surrounding this partnership and I don't think anyone quite expected such a faceplant.

I said I would resist buying yet another subscription but I’m having a bad case of fomo right now missing out on the shite show.
I didn't play last year but sent you an email about doing it this year, if its too late to join in then no big deal.
I don’t usually check for phones/emails, it is funny that many times the other businesses using that same address are often medical related.

So say a guy calls to book a load and I’ll run a quick check on them, it’ll show a company with only 1 truck/driver, but yet operating our of a big high rise in Chicago with an apartment or suite number attached. Googing that address/suite number usually yields a ton of other businesses and a service that offers to pay a fee to use that address to set up a business.
In the industry, this is quite common. So much so that when setting up a new carrier company I always double check their listed address, many times just googling the address shows 10+ different businesses listed at the exact same address.
Has he always cussed like this or is this some sort of long-game play where he eventually gets to tell JD "f*** you" on the debate stage and he expects it to be some mike-drop moment for him? :lol:
Sounds like you need to try to find an old John Deere X595 or whatever the modern equivalent is they make these days. We've used one to claw back some pretty unruly sections of some property before. 25hp diesel and 4x4 comes in quite handy.

Went once, it's decent enough for what it is, it was like $35 for the wife and I with a drink and I probably got a couple pieces more than I should have so could've been a bit cheaper. Good enough for a quick casual lunch spot when running errands or whatever.

If Honda really is that far back I feel like it's their own fault. Their non-commitment to F1 is what brought about Red Bull building their own engines, though likely leaning on a ton of Honda engineering. Only for Honda to do a complete 180 and decide to stay in F1 and build engines for Aston.
