GT Force is much better than a MOMO, but the shifter on it is a POS.

Sporting a new avatar for the week (I'll go back to the Kasey Kahne one eventually). I have officially jumped on the Jeffery Earnhardt bandwagon. After hearing about him being mentored by one of my heros (Jerry Nadeau) I'm pretty much forced to be a supporter! However I will still be a Jason White fan in the truck series!

Good choice.

Rented Jackass 3 earlier and I'm gonna watch it later tonight.

I don't know if anybody here has Red Box where they're at. Basically they are these DVD rental Kiosks, usually near convenience stores and Wal Marts. Places like that. All you need is a credit or debit card. Then you type in your zip code, email address and you can just rent DVD's or BluRays straight out of the machine. They are only $1 per night and an extra $1 per night. Whenever you're done with it, you just take it back and put it back into the machine.

They are actually quite awesome. I think you can't rent games too but I'm not sure.

Yeah they have those here too. There's a drive-thru one in town that's in the mall parking lot which even has a few PS3 and 360 games.

According to an article I read in the paper, they're putting places like BlockBuster and Hollywood out of business.

Not a surprise. You don't need any membership cards or anything. You don't have to pay 5 dollars for an entire week for a movie you'll probably watch once that night and be done with it. $1 dollar and a short trip to a local box.

That's another thing, you could rent a movie in North Carolina and return it to a box in Florida. That's what we did on our trip home from our grandparents house so we could watch a movie on the way home.

yeah they are crazy popular here.........and if you think about it, a $1 a day is a hell of lot cheaper than blockbuster or another place. the blockbuster went out of business here but blockbuster does do those kiosks but they aren't as popular as redbox because redbox has been doing them a lot longer than blockbuster

Those redboxs actually put my holllywood video and blockbuster out of business. lol They got some different versions of them at like target, walmart, albertsons, etc.

BTW, ton of random classic NASCAR race's on ESPN Classic today, right now they are showing the 1985 valleydale meats race at bristol.

And Ned just failed and said a guys home town was colorado springs, californa lmao.

May I suggest deleting the "Similar Topics" thing off the forum? I accidentally clicked one of the links and Avast had a double stroke over it.

Oh Jaaaaake

i dont use my shifter, it caused me blown engines because it is so touchy. I either use paddle shifters or x, square, circle, triangle to shift

I loved that race. One of the greatest races I ever saw Robby drive.

It was an amazing race, i re watched it this afternoon. Had me on my seat, even though i kinda knew the outcome. It was the first time i had watched that, and because the tape is basically untouched, the quality was AMAZING. Didnt look like your normal VHS tape. If i had the stuff/knew how to do it, I would put this whole tape on the computer, the tape has:

Full race (pre race-race-post race) -4hrs

then a bonus, when SPEED channel changed from Speed Vision, they had all these new shows. We have a recording of:

RCR 2001 Review/2002 Preview -2hrs

Interviews from:
Kevin Harvick
Robby Gordon
RARE NEVER BEFORE AIRED DALE SR INTERVIEW!!
Jeff Green
Richard Childress
Dale Jr

Its quite the little history tape i have. Id hate to give it away

So wait, Robby actually ran well the whole race? Not just used some strategy to get to where he could spin out Jeff Gordon for the win!?! D:

the two best VHS race tapes i have are the 1989 north wilkesboro race (where Earnhardt and Rudd spun each other on the final lap and Geoff Bodine went on to win) and the 2001 1st rockingham race, the first cup race after Earnhardt's death and Steve Park went on to win. that race was on a monday because it got rained out and it was a bitter sweet race for DEI because on the first lap Jr. wrecked out and then the race got rained out, but Park came back and won the next day


.....the only problem with my 89 tape is that my dad switched over and started watching a redskins game about halfway through the race -_-

ahhh double post but....

I found this EPIC ASS POSTER in my closet two years ago. the 1987 winston poster with race pics and a group picture of the drivers. ive seen this in the backbround of some nascar movies when they interview people so im guessing its worth some money. my grandma found it for me like 6 years ago at a yard sale. she got it for like $10. i would love to know what its worth now!

That is sold on ebay from time to time for 80-90 dollars.'

And yeah idk what comcast did but ts is back up. And apparently where I got my haircut they had a micro scale to weigh shit, and apparently I had 1.3 pounds of hair cut off lmao.

The only races I have taped on VHS is the 2002 Daytona 500 and the 2003 Sears Point race Robby won.

DUDE. NOT. COOL.

Figures, going for my 3rd CASCOR win in a row tonight, hopped in the server around 8 but had Taxi mode engaged so I got back like not even 30 seconds before the grid left. I started like 17th and got my way up to the lead by lap 15. Not even a lap after I had gotten the lead the caution flew and then the server crashed. We comeback in and everyone fails badly at trying to restart the race and bam goes the server again lol. Figures soon as I got the lead it all went to hell.

Yep, and due to my private chat fail, I will die next week.

HEY DBAGS GET ON TEAMSPEAK

Please, somebody tell me they watched the Donald Trump roast last night. And heard "The Situations" god awful set. Holy shit. He almost got booed off the stage and apparently they even cut out a few of his "jokes" lmao

holy shit.
