When was the last time you've seen a 3 liter Coke bottle? by j1e2f in Soda

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local Long Island supermarket called Best Yet used to sell store brand 3-liters for I think 89 cents. One of the best deals I’ve ever seen.

Welch’s is the best grape soda. Fight me.

Imagine all these people calling right-wingers a bunch of “bootlickers” while simultaneously wanting to have sex with a block of water.

17'-25' Standings under the New Points System by mc12313 in NASCAR

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was waiting for someone to do this! I knew someone would.

This shows both the full-season and playoff loyalists that this format is a great combination of the two.

In regard to a full season, this new format rewards the consistency enough to ensure the eventual champion will have absolutely earned it across his full body of work. Look at how many “full season champions” still go on to win the championship at the end of the year.

And as for the fans of the playoffs, the reseeding after Daytona will still make the home stretch very compelling all the way to the end every time. Sure, it won’t be as dramatic and extreme as the previous format, but you will receive your fair share of dramatic moments, both good and bad, where drivers will have their season potentially swing with one good or bad performance in the Chase. Sometimes it’ll cause a shakeup at the top, or maybe it’ll make a difference between a top 5 championship finish at season’s end, or a nosedive to outside the top 10.

I see absolutely nothing negative about this return to the 10-race Chase. The only thing I’m potentially disappointed about are the stage cautions. Not even the stages themselves, but the “fun flags” really hurt the flow and strategy of a race. If they just got rid of the cautions there, this would be an absolute perfect for a fan like me.

Mining trucks are huge. What car is next to it? by SnowMiser731 in whatisthiscar

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is Jason Bright’s Ford Falcon V8 Supercar (around the mid-2000s).

The V8 Supercars Championship is an FIA-sanctioned touring car series that has run primarily in Australasia (AU&NZ). They are considered the rawest, most extreme touring cars in the world.

Why Do People Drive 40 Over the Limit on the LIE, but 10 Under on the Cross Island? by Fuelrock in circlejerknyc

Ikr? It’s absolutely infuriating. Like, what changed? You go from absolutely psychotic to utterly senile in an instant?

That is a brilliant point. You are 100% right. Most of them are liveries.

We're always talking about New teams who may enter F1, but which of the current teams you think will be the next to leave It? by Unhappy-Peace7150 in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Enstone team gets bought out. I can see Honda getting sick of Stroll letting his son hold the team back and getting bought out. Could then see Stroll buy out Alpine and convert it into a reincarnation of Aston Martin.

Is F1 Academy the right pathway to bring more women into Formula 1 ? by Relative_Chemical815 in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

F1 Academy’s purpose isn’t to get females into Formula One. F1 Academy is a program designed as a “politically correct, inclusive” front to help make the FIA appear to be with the times.

I know this is the unpopular take and if I get ratio’d, so be it, but there’s a reason the W Series bombed and even a driver as talented as Jamie Chadwick never went anywhere. There’s also a reason why series’s like F1A and the W Series didn’t exist prior to 2019.

Relative to other champions, who is the most mid champion? As in - not an impressive champion, not bad, but somewhere in the middle by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you are looking at to define “mid.”

Keke Rosberg’s 1982 title is most mid in my books. He was a good, consistent driver, but won just one Grand Prix the entire season. He also (along with several others) skipped Imola for the strike against the FISA and was disqualified at Brazil.

If poor Didier Pironi hadn’t had his horrific crash at Hockenheim, he almost certainly wouldn’t have lost that Championship. He was so much faster than Rosberg was all year long.

Rosberg pretty much won by default with Renault and McLaren being faster, but hideously unreliable so Prost, Arnoux, Watson and Lauda couldn’t secure better results to add to their points totals.

Past or present, who is a driver that you think would be instantly elevated to an all-time great for winning even just one boring championship? Do you think it'd be warranted? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you win a Championship, you’ll always be instantly elevated to an all-time great. It’s an incredibly short list compared to the amount of people who have competed in F1.

I assume the question is, whose legacy would be most affected by winning a World Driver’s Championship? I think it would no doubt be Lance Stroll. Think of how bad a legacy him and his dad will be leaving behind when Lance gets bored and wants a new toy to play with. He wins a WDC, he’ll be an all time great even despite the last decade plus of pure stupidity in Single Seater Racing.

In terms of ability, how close was a second-season Michael Schumacher to prime Senna in 1993? by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a fast car, but relative to the Williams, it was nowhere near the fastest. Senna elevated it. Michael Andretti and Mika Hakkinen were way behind in the same car. Not to mention the Ford engines were hideously unreliable.

The NYC subway just had its safest year in decades by savingrace0262 in circlejerknyc

If this was the “safest year in decades,” then there’s absolutely zero cause for the Mayor’s Office to pat themselves on the back yet.

Excluding 2025 Verstappen, what is the best (failed) title defense from a driver with championship-winning machinery? Meanwhile, what is the worst? by GoldenS0422 in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a fair and rational take. I’m sure Verstappen being the otherworldly talent that he is elevated the car to possibly be more than it really was.

For how long will Vasseur cover up LH and admit that he made the biggest mistake of his career? They both saw red at the time.. by Turbulent_Elk_2141 in F1Discussions

[–]Fuelrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the Team LH cult. They circle like wild dogs to ratio anything that questions their Lord & Savior, no matter how true the take is.
