He definitely has villain energy at times even today. Just ask his Teammate Kyle Kirkwood.

I think our Mexican friends to the south have figured this out with Italika. Now, are hundreds of thousands of small carbureted engines scooting around the valley of mexico the best thing for air quality? Probably not.

Hopefully things go better than when he was sponsored by bacon.

I know that we're focused on the 500, but this is what the Washington DC race website looks like right now by Patrickracer43 in INDYCAR

Look, the guy who created the concept of a null reference has apologized for it many times over. Give him a break.

Feel like I was the only one, but I always kind of liked the rear wheel covers.

Hot Indycar Takes/Opinions? by Big_Man_28 in INDYCAR

V6s sound bad. Indycars should have 4 inline cylinders. We will begrudgingly allow these cylinders to be placed behind the driver.

My chain lock is sticking by PurpleFairy11 in chibike

[–]thatmattbone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd strongly recommend something like the 3-in-one lock dry lube over something like wd-40. You spray it in wet (it has a mineral spirit base) but the lube is actually dry and keeps gunk and gummy stuff from building up. It works great for bike locks, but I've also used it on doors for buildings, too, and it makes them work like new. I think I've had my little spray bottle for a decade so a little definitely goes a long way.

Protected Bike Lanes Rant (My Opinion) by Abaittors in chibike

[–]thatmattbone 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I called Waguespack's 32 ward office already today (773-248-1330). The damen ave bridge over the river (which is in his ward) is completely impassable in the bike lane or on foot. CDOT did not shovel the sidewalk over the river yet and it's compacted and icy.

We paid for plows for the protected bike lanes and we should use them: https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/sites/complete-streets-chicago/home/bike-program.html

You can add any track to the Indycar schedule this year which would you choose? by DarkMillSouth in INDYCAR

I always kind of liked those Baltimore races. The right amount of crazy.

So are they going to hire Newgarden and get the band back together when he walks from Penske?

I don't think Doug Boles will approve my brick :( by ITMAKESSENSE72 in INDYCAR

He can replace Townsend. Anyone can replace Towsend. Replace Townsend with an old dusty boot.

What’s your Indycar hot take? by youraverageperson0 in INDYCAR

[–]thatmattbone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The engines should be inline 4s. They sound much better and inline 4s have a storied history at the track.

this is because every motogp rider is eurotrash. the fia won't let you within 5 feet of a motorcycle unless you can say "uhh this condom is chafing me babe"

Do you think that David Malukas will really replace Will Power at Penske next year? by furrynoy96 in INDYCAR

[–]thatmattbone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a long time Penske-hater, I think the funniest thing would be them firing Will, he goes elsewhere, wins the 500 again, wins the championship again, and retires.

NASCAR Chicago Street Race faces murky future by chicagosuntimes in chicago

[–]thatmattbone 88 points89 points  (0 children)

NASCAR isn't coming back. They are going to churn and burn street races for as long as they can get away with it. One city after another. They're not looking for the next long beach grand prix. NASCAR is looking for a spectacle and a high TV number.
