I'm not too happy with having the front plate. At least there is a mount so it doesn't damage the grill and splitter.

That might be a cool experience!

I'm not sure your question here? He died from complications of emphysema at 71 if that's Jerry Reed?

From what they tell me it is!
I've driven the track a dozen times now and it's awesome! Especially the boot section, the part that NASCAR doesn't use, but not with an instructor.
Go for it!

Correct. In his rendition of Alabama Jubilee he says “Where’d they go” as part of lyrics. For me and a coulple others it’s an inside joke. The relivence here? Someone made fun of the stats I posted and said they didn’t add up. I explained how in fact they did. Then no more was said. No red x, no thanks, no green check mark. Where’d they go?
Hand me that cigarette over there would ya honey?
SON!

Got cha.
A track I have always wanted to race on is Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. It a tad over 4 miles long with 14 turns. I've seen Nascar and Indy races there and they were always entertaining.

That is a classic road course! But Watkins Glen is a lot closer and hosted the F1 races for 19 years! And they just resurfaced the entire track 2 years ago.

Most are satisfied with your explanation, others are trying to figure out where the red ink comes from for the red x's.

Gotta ask, you've obviously been there, and just about everywhere? But did you drive it?

Thanks for the tune...BUT, you must not be familiar with my standard hours of operation around here... good morning.
"You don’t have to be driving the car to die when it crashes." that I can agree to. "The other 54% were obviously passengers,pedestrians etc." I cannot agree to given the statement.
While I freely admit to limited vocabulary and I do have my struggles with the language... this sentence is very clear to me "
Male drivers were involved in 34% of fatal crashes in 2016 while female drivers were involved in 12%." (Source: 2019 Driving Statistics: The Ultimate List of Driving Stats). It is in fact a stand alone bullet point, so I haven't manipulated anything in this situation.
So read it slow and out loud if you have to... unless they are saying driverless cars or they are that sympathetic to the gender identity of a large population of undecided folks (who can't drive)... I still feel like I'm correct.
You just didn't get anywhere initially, like the red x you desired, because I wasn't here and when I read it I didn't care. Now that I've engaged you... well there's another 5 minutes I'll never get back...

Look at it this way. If two cars collide with two occupants each and , let’s say car #1 has two females, one driver, one passenger. And car #2 has two males, one driver one passenger. If both occupants in each car dies the fatality stats would be what?Thanks for the tune...BUT, you must not be familiar with my standard hours of operation around here... good morning.

4 people total involved died.
25% were male DRIVERS.
25% were female DRIVERS
The remaining 50% are PASSENGERS.
The stats quoted were dealing with DRIVERS involved in fatal crashes taken from the total of fatalities of all involved in the crash.
Now, could they have just given us the driver stats, leaving the others out of the equation? I guess so, and I don’t know why they didn’t. Nothing wrong with the numbers though.
I’ll say good morning to you and stand
above the fray of condescending remarks!

21 people died.
10 people died and a qt. of milk was found in their refrigerators.
11 people died and a 1/2 gal. of milk was found in their refrigerators.
People having a 1/2 gal. of milk had a 10% higher death rate.
Statistics are misused all the time to warp the facts to fit the argument.
90% of people don't understand statistics.
75% of statistics are made up on the spot.
What percentage of you will get the point, here?

I seem to remember an old saying I believe its from Mark Twain. That there are "three types of lies, Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics".

I don't know what its like out there in Nesbit, but if you aren't doing eighty here on I-495, I-270 or I-95, the other traffic will run over you. The douche-bags doing the speed limit in the left lane are the people who put others in danger. Personally, I drive ten over the limit most of the time, because it keeps me moving ahead of the gaggle where most of the stupid stuff occurs. And Stubbs needs to lighten up. . .
Statistics was the worst class I have ever taken in college. It should be called "guesses".
One of tests at the Proving Ground was a survivability test on a M109A6 Paladin Howitzer with a full crew of test dummies wired up with all of the human survivability sensors. Cameras everywhere inside the Howitzer that covered every possible view. We were in the observation bunker and shot the howitzer with a Russian 152MM artillery round. The round penetrated the left side of the howitzer and went clear through the drivers head completing blowing it off before the cameras went black because of the explosion. The "statisticians" claimed the driver had a 5 percent chance of survival if he would of been in a trauma unit in 5 minutes. My Warfighters looked at each other in total shock after that statement. First off, you are not going to get to a trauma unit in 5 minutes on any battlefield and he didn't have a head. How in the F was he going to survive at all????
