    Gary, as someone who always liked you, you sure are making it hard not to be an * lately. Just some advice, I know you don't want to hear it, from someone that really likes you and respects you as a friend on GunBroker. NO ONE was trying to ruin your giveaway that was very nice and generous of you, they were just showing everyone what it was. You were the only one that took it the wrong way. Even I have a thin skin sometimes, but you are acting like a jerk, so stop. Your GB friend,John

    John, First of all I get a charge out of folks that give opinions on others business. Frankly you have no dog in the hunt and no decision on how I run the giveaways, past or present. I respect your opinion but really don't see why folks get involved telling someone else how they would do it. I don't know you and you sure do not know me. Watching responses on this forum does not qualify you to know me. I am a very hard person to get to know and keep my distance from those I do not know. I treat folks like I treat a dog. I let them come to me, start a conversation. There is a very good reason for that. Once again not an easy person to get close to. This forum is a forum, I have met a few folks in person and would not put my trust in probably only a couple. Those others I have no idea what their intentions are?.. it is the internet. Crappy stuff gets said to stir the pot and sometime I took the bait. I was wrong. It shouldn't upset anyone what one does on this forum. I don't run their lives and they sure as hell don't run mine. I could care less what they think. Their action speak for themselves with negative comments. These are Not the folks I would ever give the keys to my home to while we left for a weekend. And sorry I would not give the keys to you since I do not know you. As I said just a couple I have met and know off of this forum. I hope that clarifies a few thing for you. BTW.. one is a retired Police Officer and the other lives in Charleston and comes on this forum very seldom. Both are good men.

    I missed the 1st bit of the race, but tuned in now. It's been so nice out here, I went to the gunshow with my dad this morning, walked the dogs, and did some yard work. Almost forgot it was Sunday Raceday! [:D]

    Looks like "Happy" could get this one.

    Good to see Kurt back after the girlfriend BS. In an earlier interview he stated that friends and family warned him about getting involved with that woman, but of course he didn't listen.

    Some of us will be watching the Australian GP when we have a chance to sit down.
    A little NASCAR in between.[8D]

    F1 over first. Hamilton wins for Mercedes. Got to see ol' Nikki Lauda.[8D]


    Back to NASCAR. 47 to go. Nobody I like in front. Baby running 23.

    I wish they would post the name of the vehicles when they post the drivers name and position. Example: Danica Patrick # 26 Datsun Fairlady.

    What is this, hasn't there been a "green-white-checkered" every race so far this season?

    Why don't they just skip the rest of the race, save the wear and tear and sheet-metal damage on their machines, and race only the last 3 laps?

    I know it's supposed to add excitement to the ending by avoiding the event of a checker under caution, but it is getting redundant and boring itself, and does beg the question why race the other 497 (or whatever) laps?

    Heck, at this point you could probably do as well as Tony! He is struggling! I think between his previously mangled leg(which is bothering him more than he lets on), the dirt track tragedy, and the stress of ownership, he has clearly lost a bit of desire and drive. That might come back and it might not.

    I still don't get why some people think they can drive better than Danica. A lot of drivers finish behind her. She was bumped again yesterday but she still held on to her car as good as any. She still finished in front of 15 cars. Hell, Junior was dead last.
    Just because you can make it to Walmart and back doesn't mean you can drive 200 MPH on a high oval.

    I never said I was better than her. I merely implied that if the intended outcome every race is to wreck a car, I could do that.

    Face it, when was the last time Danica finished in the Top 10? Top 20?!

    She should have stuck with Formula One.

    I wonder how many truly good drivers her boobs and butt are keeping off the track?
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    I guess if I was going to make commentary about someone's driving skills, I might want to know the difference between Formula One, and USAC Champ Cars.

    As I recall, Danica finished 15th or 16th at Atlanta a few weeks ago, and in each race, there are some big names finishing behind her. It is funny to see her blamed for every crash she is involved in, and it makes one wonder how the accidents she is not involved in could possibly happen.
