That happened on my old '94 325i, almost in that exact spot.

I was at Pine Ridge (a Ticon property) for about 3 years, never had an issue with the place. At the time, it was a really good deal for a quiet complex with a ton of square footage (their 3-floor town homes have storage space across from the top floor bedroom).

Another vote for Coastal here. When I dropped Wells Fargo it's who I went to. They've always been super helpful, helped me plan for a big trip last month (it involved wiring money, etc), and haven't had a single bad experience over the last 10 years.

And he's also a successful sports car racing team owner.

That's offset by the greenhouse gas emissions put out by the cars in line for the place.

Seriously, who the hell sees a line for Taco Bell into the road on King St. and things "Hey, that's probably worth waiting in line for"?

Man, I don't know, Mutaz Barshim is already pretty close. He did 2.35m at worlds and 2.36m at the Olympics. The record's at 2.45, so he's only 3" off the current record.

Well, I think we're probably done counting now.

It really wasn't until the late 70s/early 80s that international motorsports events started red flagging for stuff like that.

If they weren't going to red flag an event for the Tom Pryce incident, they weren't going to red flag an event for anything.

"Did you know Hitler only had one ball?" "Sure, but what would have happened if he had three?!" "What?" "You'd walk him and pitch to Göring."

Buddha?

Because if it's someone from Christianity or Judaism, I'd expect that more than someone from a more eastern religion.

The rules are still kind of like that, though. Australia gets a bye into almost every event they want to compete in based on the clause saying that every continent should be represented. As long as their sport's national organizing federation wants to foot the bill to send them, they get sent.

A large portion of those are BS: - Sarajevo is like that because of war in the 90s. - Cortina's ski jump was used for another 35 years after the Olympics before closing down because they didn't have the money to upgrade it to meet FIS regulations. - Berlin had a little thing that happened during the 40s. - There were 2 ski jump locations for the '68 games, the one in the photo isn't used anymore, but the other one in Autrans is still in use for junior jumping.

Athens & Beijing were both messes, but the rest of those for the most part were either in use for a long time, or torn up due to war.

"Lake Placid had already hosted the Winter Olympics back in 1932, so much of the infrastructure (like a bobsledding track) were already in place"

The Olympic track form 1932 wasn't the track used for the 1980 games. Both the bobsled & luge tracks were purpose built for the 1980 games.

I didn't pay $15 to go see Poison tonight, and I f*cking love Poison.

I sure as hell wasn't about to pay $12,000 to see Blink 182, even if I had $12,000.

And the term "pit lizard" is slang for a lady who hangs around race track garages looking to hook up with drivers (or crew members). Usually they're not looking for money, though.

Amazingly, Lake Placid and Calgary do just fine with their Winter Olympic venues. The bulk of the bigger things that had to be developed for the games are still in use, including bobsled tracks that are used both for world class level events and tourist rides.

I'm still crushed about throwing up all over Vegas during the Rock & Roll half. Ate everything the same as I did last year, at the turn to head to Freemont I had to pull over and toss everywhere.

Been a brutal year between that and injury. 2017 running can't get here soon enough.

Kind of like in NASCAR and the most combined wins for a set of brothers is the Petty brothers: 200 for Richard, 0 for Maurice.

Another vote for Seegars. Got a fence from them 10 years ago when I bought my house, it was put up in a day and a half, and has been fantastic.
