Sport vs Street

[Shooter]

Do you wanna race Formula-1? Or do you wanna drive a real car?

No doubt F-1 drivers can handle themselves on the street. But so can lots of people who never race. The awareness and defensive-driving are totally different. As are the rules of the road. F-1 drivers don't have to worry about road-rage, car-jacking, drunk/stoned drivers, or a number of other everyday hazards. The dangers are real but very different. In either case the driver is taking their life in their hands every time they get behind the wheel.

The everyday driver has different needs and preferences. Ford is better than GM? SUV or compact? bleh...

The race track is where most of the innovations regarding performance, safety, and design are developed. If auto makers ignore the standards which are basic for their product to be road-worthy, they don't even make it out of the factory. Too bad MAs isn't more like the automotive world.

That's a good way of looking at it.

Yea, but you are still _supposed_ to obey the traffic rules when driving a usual car. :D

What does this have to do with MA? Oh well...
Even though I know you like formula.

Street forum might use some face-lifting btw.

Being a F-1 Driver does not prevent you from having an accident in your regular car on the way home.

I know a few F-1 Drivers that totalled as many as 4 regular cars in accidents.

;) :p

It's just a shame that all these analogies are repeatedly needed.

Amen. I met one idiot who told me that he was Laying it on the line everytime he competed in MMA. He may have fought, but he was an unknown on the bigger stage, and when it came down, he was the guy on the ground, and me without the need to grapple.

This thread may as well be in Swahili.

I've no idea what any of it means...:confused:

I swear I've got dumber since I've been coming to this board.

[MightyB]

I mean it, you all are funny...




(...trolling like a big Mo Fo now).

If I whacked Barry Bonds in the back of the head with a baseball bat when he wasn't looking, all his years of experience would mean nothing.
