Ludovico Einaudi - Primavera
simply... beautiful.

and I'm not usually inclined to listen to classical music.

EDIT:deleted old vid for this way b ... o...WITH POLE DANCING!!!

also, for some reason I really, really want a dubstep remix of this. Not one where the original song is absolutely covered in disgusting filth mind you, keep the long piano intro, maybe bring some long wobbly bass into the middle bit in unison with the long low notes and extend it and leave the intense violin playing over top... then fade back out to the piano. it would be beautiful, classical, and extremely modern all in one mega awesome package....maybe that ramble made sense to someone?

woah, that's actually pretty close to where I go to college. Very interesting idea, I really hope it works out for you. Maybe I'll make it up there sometime, but currently the only car I have is in Michigan.

You should look at holding NASCAR events, that's probably the best way to make money in Georgia

Also, how much money has been put into those simulators? They look pretty damn nice.

Quote from Crashgate3 :

A lesson in website design

figures this store would be in Panama City, Florida... every store in the city is basically the same as this website

It's Spring Break party central, full of bright colors, airbrushed t-shirts, and an abundance of people who are far too drunk to remember their trip.
Also, I can almost guarantee those are not high-quality wedding dresses. PC is one of the trashiest places in the known universe

ah, tinvek makes a good point. Now I see how having advertising that is too successful could possibly be a detriment to the company. hadn't thought of that.

this whole situation is really a shame though...

Quote from UncleBenny :

A little over a month until Pocono and Michigan, going to both races this year and I can't wait. Haven't been to Michigan before but it should be a good one to see in person.

MIS should be a pretty good track to see a race at...though I've only ever gone to an Indy race there, I bet it would be very good for NASCAR.

I dunno why I've only ever been there once though... it's like an hour from my house, and I've been to lots of other tracks multiple times for races...it's a great facility too...

Pocono too... you lucky bastard

okay...yes... but surely that can't be the worst problem a business ever had?

oh noes! we are selling all our products! demand is very high! price can be raised slightly to meet demand! profit is maximized, and the business can expand further with extra funds!

or am I missing something?

so does that quote mean that they are having trouble because demand for their products is too high?

besides, it would not appear that everyone counts. The number of points gained per round in our subleague is far higher the average of everyone. it looks closer to the top ten or so.

btw I'm so close to Sutil + Petrov, c'mon 4 mill bonus question!

and I'm still third, despite an absolutely miserable last round. too much relying on FI, I need to switch at least one to Renault. But right now, upgrading Trulli to Petrov is far more important in terms of points

I seriously doubt this is arox. he's just not that stupid. he may have absolutely no sense of humor, but he's not a moron, and he does care about what others think of him. iirc he did make at least one new account, to complain that people kept making fun of him and saying the other new accounts weren't him, but I can't find it, and I don't remember exactly what he said, it just wasn't that important to me.

All the really stupid stuff involving new accounts before was proven to be AMB:

so until a mod tells me otherwise, that's where my money/blame is

Dyme Def - I'm Gone

Common Market -Tobacco Road

I've decided Seattle is the new up-and-comer in the hip-hop game. Or at least, I can't figure out why they aren't. 'bout time a city with an actual musical sense is rising to the top. not much of a fan of dirty south rap, it's good for parties, but not so great for just listening. This stuff is great for actually listening.

Seattle has some great acts at the moment, putting out some great music.
If you are into hip-hop/rap, check out: Common Market, Dyme Def, Blue Scholars, etc.

also a fan of the midwest stuff of course, as that's where I'm from. It's actually similar to Northwest stuff (Seattle) I guess. maybe it's just that I like underground stuff more than mainstream

J Dilla feat. Black Thought - Reality TV
P.O.S. - Never Better
P.O.S. - Purexed

ok, I'm done looking up where people are from. Here's some more good stuff:
Jay Electronica - Eternal Sunshine
The Knux - Bang! Bang!
Inspectah Deck - House Of Flyi ... e Killah & Method Man

also, ratatat has two incredible remix albums, raps by famous guys with actual musical talent, beats by ratatat. simply awesome.

HIP HOP IS NOT DEAD, IT'S JUST IN HIDING

also, I've been listening to a ton of dubstep. So when I found this...my mind was simply blown.
Wu Tang - Keep Hustlin (Trillbass Remix)

those drivers are doing some sick burnouts... wait, where are the drivers? do Lexus' come with autopilot now?

also, they appear to have rims that stay in place when the wheels move (anti-spinners?). I can't justify the price of a Lexus for such a rice / gangsta feature.

wait I can't get anti-spinners or an autopilot on my Lexus? that's false advertising. a**holess.

Quote from kristis917 :

... unless we have some russian insider from the government here at LFS forum...

maybe not, but there is a Russian insider somewhere, with actual information, not just the official press release. Because if there is one thing i have learned, I can't even trust my own government to tell the whole truth, much less the Russian government. Or really any government for that matter, people in power will abuse it, and use it to make themselves look good.

on the subject of spending money, I was wondering the other day what it takes to buy advertising in a high-level racing series, say BTCC. I know there are a few teams that are strapped for cash, maybe they'll slap a LFS sticker on for 5 bucks?

Formula Nippon has decided to move away from the traditional racing structure, and implemented a system inspired by synchronized swimming. This crash was scored a 3.2 by the Andorran judge, which led to allegations of race fixing. Early investigations have focused around Flavio Briatore, but he has not yet been charged. It must be said, in terms of spectacle, the new system is a resounding success, but the racing purists will be howling in anger at the changes.

As to whether 911 or this was a worse tragedy, I don' think this can really be determined. There is a huge difference int he amount of people, type of people, what they crashed into, blah blah blah. I would say both push the limits for the amount of horror that the human mind is able to feel, and therefore are equally tragic in my book.

I remember almost all of September 11, 2001 very vividly, and it still brings tears to my eyes when I actually stop to contemplate what happened. I'm sure that this day will be the same for Poles in 10 years. If you live in Australia, for instance (we all know to whom I refer), you have no idea of the immense sadness, pain, uncertainty, and just general terribleness of this day. Was it an accident? Was it on purpose? Are there more planes? Have they targeted my Dad's place of work (He works in a big tower in Detroit)? What happens now? the questions and reactions may be slightly different for Poles, but I can guarantee they are on the same level as what Americans felt that day. I really hope the Poles can push through this, and come out strongly, because this is a huge blow to the way the country functions.

EDIT: yes, I know the president was not the one with the most power. But this situation will have massive ramifications on the way the country is run, and people go about their business. Poland will not be the same for months and months, I watched it happen here.

you just drive on the wrong side of the road.

those don't look anything like role-playing games
clearly joking

Quote from Intrepid :

I don't think McLaren will put anything on their car not 'cleared' by the FIA first.

It will probably be at least borderline legal

I hatehatehateHATE Plato. Yet I love to have him in the championship, gives me someone to root against. I also hate Matt Neal, almost as much.

Looks like this season I'll be rooting for Jordan and Pinkney, as Turkington isn't arount anymore. There are also a lot of drivers I haven't really made up my mind yet, as I've never watched them race.

Also, do people in Britain understand the color wheel? or use a different one? because basically every car is some combination of red, blue, black, and white. I kinda hate it.

Quote from Chupacabras84 :

dead cars

some of those pictures made me want to cry...:cry:

I am doing very good indeed. "downgrading" to Sutil from Liuzzi was a clutch move in the last race, plus it saved me money. I've got buckets of cash sitting around after last race, now I just have to figure out what to spend it on...

I can't get proper BTCC coverage here, and it's pretty much my favorite racing.:banghead::bananadea:gnasher:

**** you very much, Speed Channel, you fat sack of ****. what are you showing right now? Rally Targa Highlights from 2009? old news, GIVE ME MY BTCC FIX ARGGGGGGHHHHHH **** YOU!

EDIT: This rant no longer applies.

Quote from JCTK :

Vettel should be on 37 points now, Alonso is also on 37. Havn't done my maths on how much Massa got. But yeah, suddenly Vettel is back into the thick of it, thanks to McLaren and Ferrari being smart-ass yesterday and back fired.

massa's on 39, button and rosberg 35. it is close indeed.
