I complain about them. Nobody listens, though.

I miss 220+ mph races, and frankly, racing has never been the same. When the crew's job was to make the car go as fast they fvcking could, it was cool. Now it seems they spend all they spend all their time trying not to get caught cheating.

Hey, maybe he invented a new exciting sport; Niagra Falls Tight Wire Racing.

Really, dude, 2 hour program, 9-11, nothing happens until 10:15, he's done in what 25 minutes, and then he calls someone to tell them.

Meh.
