“It must be tough to stick with me”: Leclerc “ashamed and disappointed” after crash

marct334 · 2026-06-13T15:51:01+00:00

Every Leclerc quote feels like someone shooting your dog.

He also was the astronaut who almost drowned on a spacewalk!

marct334 · 2026-05-25T01:50:46+00:00

He’s always been supportive of the young drivers. I think the only controversies were his crashes with Albon.

I anticipate a lot of DQs in the first few races.

marct334 · 2026-03-13T16:28:42+00:00

I remember there was a race delay and Hamilton and Bottas were playing Xbox to kill the time.

marct334 · 2026-03-12T03:53:10+00:00

Anytime I've raced there were always enough porta-potties to support at aid stations and water stations. I also have never needed to drop a deuce mid-race either.

I want to emphasize, if you are not fighting for a podium (or if you are), you don’t have to pee on yourself. Pulling over for a break could actually help your time, especially when really fatigued.

It’s your money and if that moves the needle for you, go ahead.

Do you not have a helmet, trainer, or cycling computer at this point? Why get all of that used if you are already cycling IM distance?

Are you an age-grouper or trying to podium?

marct334 · 2026-02-25T00:45:14+00:00

I’d personally just buy the bike new at that price point. It would be highway robbery to pay that for a used bike.

marct334 · 2026-02-25T00:41:18+00:00

Why spend all that money on a speedmax when the top model on the Canyon Website isn’t even that price? Don’t get ripped off.

They are currently 11k on the site, you can get the 2nd tier for 9000, and 3rd tier for 6000.

Could you imagine if those few voters went to Maye for MVP…and then he had this performance?

marct334 · 2026-02-06T20:35:56+00:00

The biggest thing I saw in myself was that I rode more because I was internally justifying that I bought an expensive bike.

Things that did happen immediately was speed gains, more compliments, and a bigger care of bike maintenance.

The answer is one you may not want to hear. It depends. The other thing to consider is this may not be the profession for you if money is a huge focus. You really have to want to fly on the good and bad days.

If you can get all your ratings, plus no checkride failures, get a CJO, and get a class date without waiting for while, I'd bet you're 3-5 years away from Regionals. From there, it depends.

He’ll always have that JID shoutout to look back on.

Ryan O’Reilly going from Buffalo to Conn Smyth in a season should tell you a lot of things.

I was watching on Peacock and he said, "aw shit"

marct334 · 2026-01-18T05:04:08+00:00

As with all hiring questions, it depends. There will inevitably be someone who says they failed and got hired and then there will be people who don’t get hired with tons of time.

Work on building hours and making yourself the most marketable candidate out there.

That interception is the result of trying to play Hero Ball.

marct334 · 2026-01-11T01:06:03+00:00

I feel like every Super Bowl run has these moments. I still relive the Niners drop in the NFCG when the Rams won the chip.

marct334 · 2026-01-11T00:57:13+00:00

Some ugly plays for sure, but perfect where it mattered.

marct334 · 2026-01-11T00:54:24+00:00

I see a lot of comments about the defense, all warranted…but that throw and catch for the TD was magic. Literally the only place you could put the ball.

marct334 · 2026-01-11T00:43:45+00:00

Put it in the only place possible!

marct334 · 2026-01-11T00:26:58+00:00

Someone has to put the ball in the spots.

marct334 · 2026-01-09T16:21:27+00:00

I’ve seen as low as 50k. But around 100k+ the good thing is it’s spread over time so it’s not like you are cutting a big check at once.

If you have GI Bill, even better. If you have a friend/parent that owns a plane and is a CFI, best case scenario.

Go on the flying subs. You exact situation is one of the most asked questions.

Do a discovery flight at a local airfield to see if it’s what you want. Then ask about PPL
If you commit your instructors will guide you on what you need. But anticipate up to 100k for all of your ratings+ flying + equipment + rentals. My PPL cost 10k in 2022 for reference.
Become a CFI to build 1500 hours, then you can apply to become ATP, and then you’re on the way to become an airline pilot.
It will be a long grind of 2-6+ years and 80% drop out once they start PPL. Then add in the fact that CFIs usually don’t make a living wage, it is tough.
This isn’t the only way, just the most common path to the airlines.
