Does anyone feel bad for the Earnhardt Jr fans with #8 tattoos?

[taterguy]

Those poor folks memorialized their favorite driver by having his number permanently etched on their skin. And next year someone else will have that number.

Shame
Shame
Shame

1. What happened to Junior?

Is he taking his father's number?

[taterguy]

2. He switched teams and his old team isn't giving him his old #

No one will ever drive #3 again, unless they want to incur the wrath of NASCAR nation.

8. Junior could drive the 3

IIRC when Junior was shopping for a new team earlier this year, Richard Childress was one of the people trying to hire him.

However, one of Junior's big complaints about DEI was that Earnhardt engines don't make enough horsepower, and Childress has long had the same problem.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I feel only joy at the sufferings of NASCAR fans

especially when said suffering comes because of their own ignorance.

7. Supporting a (sport?) that encourages wasting fossil fuels and dangerous driving....

...no sympathy here either.

[taterguy]

9. Not to be nit picky but you have to admit that NASCAR does make cars safer

The car companies spend tons of money on it and it's bad PR when someone dies in one of their cars, so they go to great lengths figuring out how to make the cars safer and then apply that technology to the cars they sell on the streets.

10. I was talking about things like speeding, tailgating, bumping someone....

...etc. that NASCAR fans affectionately call "racing". Safer?

Rednecks get off on that shit and drive like that in real life so I guess we do need safer cars to protect us from those idiots and the cell phone drivers.

11. It's not tailgating it's drafting

They're just trying to be environmentally responsible and get as much gas mileage as possible :)

[Deja Q]

4. Or #8 bumper stickers, mud flaps, emblems emblazoned on their cars...

At least Earnhardt didn't have his own series of #8 condoms.

[taterguy]

5. NASCAR men don't need condoms

None of them have diseases and breeding is a good thing :)

[Deja Q]

6. With their sisters?

:hide:

[DS1]

14. The #3 size condoms sold much better

despite being called "The Intimidator"


:rofl:

12. Kick in case the afternoon crowd is more sympathetic

[Left Is Write]

13. Nope.
