    If NASCAR is just about going in circles then I guess soccer is just about kicking a ball, golf is about hitting a ball, football is about running around with a ball, basketball is about putting a ball through a hoop, hockey is about ice skating, and bull riding is about.. well its just about riding the bulls ;)


    Isn't F1 just about cars making right and left turns? Do they even make any passes after lap 1 on the track? There are more passes for the lead in 1 NASCAR race than there is in an entire F1 season.

    @Dustin McGrew: Because they are all in a massive clump. F1 is more about the engineering and strategy than a large mass driving in a circle.

    NASCAR YAWN, I dont know how people watch cars go round on circle tracks that all look the same, absolutely boring compared to formula 1.

    @Andre Oceans: And in a large clump, and with every car exactly the same. Although if Max Mosely has his way, the F1 circuit will fast be as crowded as a NASCAR track.

    I've tried both this model and the Sr. model.


    While the Sr. model is built better and tougher, it has a tendency to drive you into walls/guardrails. But as I pointed out at the beginning, it's tough. So the unit has survived through 4 cars. I would definitely recommend the HANS accessory upgrade kit!

    @Lysdexia is in dire need of a Preview button: Didn't say anything about it being too soon for the joke. And granted it did make me smile. But it's still wrong. Also, SteveDave did make it more tasteful with his knowledge of the sport.

    In reply to The Digital Transition is Proceeding Exactly According to Plan
    Digital TV is total bullshit. Not only are there less channels, it's a black and white issue of reception now. You get a perfect picture with perfect sound, OR you get a black screen and a "No Signal" banner.


    I grew up in the middle of nowhere, no cable, no broadband. A lot of the shows I watched growing up i did so through a screen of static. And, so, static on the picture doesn't bother me to this day. As long as I can make out whats going on, I really don't care about counting the pores and exposed nosehairs of the people on tv.


    That said, when the fog rolls through the valley, our analog gets a little staticy on the FM side - the audio stays pristine, and that's the important part. Same channel on digital? Black, "No Signal".


    Yeah, digital is sooooo much better, it doesn't work 1/10th as reliably as analog.


    WTF is so wrong with analog? i LIKE analog. It keeps chugging along, regardless.


    And really, this is our priority? a huge issue in our country is that our TVs aren't good enough, so our government is spending money to force us to switch to something better? wait, what?


    If it were better, wouldn't we all eventually switch in accordance with the laws of a free market?


    OH i almost forgot, there is no more free market. Just suits on a hill pulling all the levers, deciding which companies live and which products we are allowed to have. wait, i'm sorry, deciding which products are better and deciding we're too stupid to recognize that they are better.


    They're right, i dont recognize the advantage of digital at all. It's a good thing my government is looking out for me, or i'd be swearing I was qualified to decide for myself which is better! how funny!

    It's all gas'n'goes for DIGITAL TV. No tires for him today!
    Now, normally I'd say that's a short term gain... long term loss... but it looks like it's workin' out for the rookie, he obviously knows somethin' we dont.
    DIGITAL TV: Piston Cup, here I come!
    ***POP***
    **CRASH**
    ANALOG TV: Hey DIGITAL TV, that must be really embarassing. But I wouldn't worry about... because I didn't do it! Ha hah hahahah.
