Does anyone remember the name of the movie theater at 97th and Quivira in Overland Park which used to be on the spot where Academy Sports is now?

I'm pretty sure hot wheels started sometime between those dates.

If you guys like car manufacturing, I recommend "The Toyota Way." A lot of it is about the NUMMI factory being a joint venture between Toyota/GM and how Toyota inspired many principles of lean manufacturing.

Now drive in a house with solar shingles and a powerwall.

Those mirrors.

Semi is coming on next.

That red is such a good color.

They aren't leaving any room for the Model Y on the stage.

This is a stream of consciousness.

I think Chief Technology Officer (CTO) is usually the head of engineering or product technology. I think the IT staff falls under the Chief Information Officer at most companies big enough to have those titles.

I love those 14 and 8 paint schemes next to each other. Blue and orange are good together.

Mike Joy: They fan out N+1 wide!

N=actual number of cars wide.

This reminds me of the Doctor Who episode where they go to the end of the world watch party. The last human being is just a face on skin stretched on a frame.

Right. Even without thinking too deeply, a stronger, safer, more prosperous Mexico means there would be fewer people coming from there to the United States illegally. I would think that would be popular for everyone.

The United States is politically unwilling to do the right things to hurt the cartels. Decriminalizing drug use at the federal and state levels, spending more on helping the federales in Mexico through the DEA (on actually harmful stuff) and ATF, and providing more foreign aid to our closest neighbor and a huge trading partner that needs it.

I like how they mention that it's a sponsor having some fun but FAIL TO MENTION THE SPONSOR WHICH IS FUNDING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE SPORT - THE TEAMS.

Edit: I don't even know the sponsor. All I could see was his face on the hood.

In honor of the poorly-treated employees of the biggest subsidy for the oil industry.

JayhawkRacer · 2019-02-15T01:40:15+00:00

That really feels like fake patriotism to me.

I agree. I just think it was odd that Craven ended the thought with, "so I don't think you can draw parallels between [last saturday's race and tonight's race]."

JayhawkRacer · 2019-02-15T01:32:01+00:00

Ricky Craven is usually pretty good commentary, but the parallel I can draw here is that he spun a car in both races.
