In the news: Ban motorsports until gas prices drop

[s1ngletracker]

What an idiot. Where are the stats on the percentage of fuel motorsports uses? Like that would make a dent? How about all the gas pissed away in bumper to bumper traffic? Businesses need to allow more people to telecomute. There's no reason I need to go into the office every day (somedays I don't even talk to anyone in person) but the company I work at doesn't have VPN access available. Ghey. :rolleyes:
I have the full capability of working from home, but because i'm still pretty new here (~7 months) its frowned upon kinda to do on a regular basis. How freaking lame.

That article is retarded. Motorsports probably uses about 0.000000000001% of the fuel consumed out there, and they aren't using normal pump gas. Gas in places like Europe is so expensive because of government taxes. Gas here is expensive because of oil companies getting rich.

live with it... people need to stop relying on others to solve there problems.. get a closer job, do better so make more money, budget differently because of this.. if you can ride a bike.. suck it up theres nothing you can do so solve your own problems. If they want to pay gas out the ass o race cars.. let them.. if any of you watch 2020 I saw there is a never ending supply of oil it just isnt already setup so its a lil longer price to make it but there is a NEVER ending suply of gas and everyone knows it.

Oil isn't an infinite resource, it will definitely run out someday and then we will all be fucked.... and hopefully dead by then http://dsmstyle.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

That is not true from recent research. It doesn't look like it takes the millions of years to create oil that they thought it did.

I keep hoping that is the case, because all I can think about is how depressing it will be to be a 50 year old dude who can finally afford a sweet corvette or something, but have no gas to run it on.

I don't care how fast an electric car is, it isn't the same as gas...

tom your wrong sorry.. Watch movies and do true research. There is no alreayd liquid formed crude oil.. that is on a shortage but there is an infinite supply of the chemical that makes that substance it just needs to be transformed from the sandy stuf its in, seperated and then wallah oil and then wallah your suv can take the kids to practice.. We wont run out of gas and we all will probably be gone before then cause people with power are idiots and most likely some kind of plague or nuclear holocaust or something. Anyway.. there is oil end of story

lumpy cams in an electric? the pure mean growl of a v8... nothing will be the same.. even a fat car would be depressing to anyone who has smelled the smell of gas burning and that exhaust note of wot

So, lol, maybe only 2,000 years ? If there are v8's chugging around 500 years from now they probably will be out for a spin from sitting in the museum.
