    I think most of us "like nitro" we just don't "love" it.

    Tony "FearNothing" Romo? He loves it.

    Its pretty cool, the guy making the nitro Trophy Truck might have some issues with the front suspension though

    Every time I meet someone new, they always ask if I'm related to Jeff Gordon.

    OK, I know who he is, just can't stand that shit, it's like wrestling on wheels. I actually tried to watch the race Monday night, I swear I didn't know that shit started again, it runs for so long I thought it was year round. Every time I tuned in, guess what, wreck... No driving mofos. Now I see they've added the cunk of "racing" DP, she sucked at Indy, so why would this be any dfferent. I'd just as soon have a sharp stick in my eye.

    I feel the same way, really. As soon as men decide something isn't fun or interesting anymore, they let women do it.
