How's their home insurance?


I've never made a claim in 15 years, so wouldn't know :dunno:

But prices are competitive. So get the competitive homeowners and then significantly cheaper auto.

Its a win/win.

Crazy they go out of the break, straight into a sprint weekend and only get that hour in the car to get back to it or get familiar with tweaks.

Anytime I've ever tried to shop insurance, State Farm and Allstate are by far the most expensive.

Geico and Progressive are usually the cheapest options with car and then homesite as the home underwriter.

Honestly, you should be shopping new carriers every couple of years.

I jumped from Progressive to Geico a few years ago. Just jumped back to Progressive last week and saved nearly 50% on auto premiums while homeowners remained flat.
Not no, but hell no.... So many videos coming out showing police misuse of the system.


One thing I don't understand is how the frick do they allow every officers to have access to the system? I could see if detectives did, but why should a line level officer?

90% of bin space is roller bags, so nearly all overhead was left open?

I don't see any airline doing it for pure logistics and workload on their crews. Now when they get to certain boarding groups if its filling up, yes, but no way they are telling a 1st class, premier status, passenger they can't bring their roller bag on with them.
Don't understand the hate for SFP...

I don't agree with him on a lot of things and he's often the contrarian, but he's at least measured in how he responds.

Theres a shite ton of people on the PT that should be banned before him that just go unchecked.
Just saw the 92m euro number... Not bad, at solid 22m more, plus sounds like there is a performance clause in the contract, but RB feels confident they are ok.

If they are gonna allow him to do his endurance and GT3 stuff he wants, plus pay him that, I'm guessing theres no downside for Max aside from not winning another drivers.

Sounds miserable.

Traveling regularly for work and I couldn't imagine having to wait at baggage claim every time I land.

Carry on and back pack. Off the plane and directly to rental or uber FTW

Saw that earlier... theres also apparently text message from Anthony the day of stating he had a knife and he wanted to stab someone and lick the blood off the knife.

Sounds like a lot of stuff that wasn't in the trial.

Yup after he ripped Pirro for not throwing the hammer down on the guy accused of vandalism.

Pirro knew they could never convict based off that info coming to light.

Isn't that what Max said too?


Did he? I haven't see that.


Either way, if Max wanted his seat, it was his. George is fooling himself if he thinks otherwise.
George has come out and said his seat was never under threat from Max :lol:


Dude lives in a fantasy world. Easily the most unlikeable driver on the grid and thats saying a lot.

Rumor was that Redbull was willing to pay him a lot to get him to drop his exit clauses.


Maybe this is a means to an end for him.... He's expressed over and over again he loves GT racing, going as far as to establish his own team.

Maybe the guaranteed money continues to seed that and he just goes through the motions with RB until he steps out to do that full time :dunno:
How many years too late???

Sounds like it would impact Interstate Commerce, thus should be struck down in federal court.




I haven't looked up what the enforcement mechanism is.... I

s it that dealers can't sell the other tires in Cali and that is the only check/balance?

Are the tires marked and then at yearly inspection, they are checked?

What happens if someone goes across Nevada border and gets "illegal" tires, how is it enforced?

Karun and others coming out questioning WTF.... "Car is 4th on the grid, he's 6th in drivers in the car... can't believe he signed until 2030, I would have thought 2028, but I'm guessing they gave him assurances"

Where are they buying tires for 81 dollars a tire? Most new tires run close to 100-150 or more plus installation.


You can get the el cheapo tires that go on small 4 door sedans for 60-80 bucks. They are shite, but they work on those cars.
