In GPLrank and the Ranking system for F1cs2k, the Americans lag far far
behind the
rest of the world. Why? I believe, after moments of shallow thought, I
have discovered the reason. Americans drive differently than many other
countries...and so far no sim has
model the style that will allow we Yanks to excell. What is missing?
No sim, to date, has included a cell phone to be used while driving. Once
that oversight
is corrected, you'll see Americans literally jump through the rankings.
After all, how can you expect us to do well when we don't have our heads
crimped over to hold the phone up and how well do you think the rest of the
world will do when they have to drive with one
hand like most Americans do these days?

here's an American flipping you the middle finger as he passes, as Americans
sometimes do. <G>

I'm working on a new plug-in for F1, which simulates keeping track of lap
times on a palm organizer. Of course you have to steer with your knees.

Almost every time that I get on my cell phone while driving I almost
kill myself and 3 or 4 other people.

But I will stop when *** is ended.. since that is much more
idiotic than driving while on a cell phone. :)

hmm. It works until you realise the rest of the world seems to drive
the same way. Certainly seems to be the case here in Oz.

The title of this thread got my flamethrower going even before I opened
the article. But, good one! LOL. Don't forget that we also will need
cupholders on our wheel housings, for that 32 Oz. Big Gulp...

Here's another american flipping you the bird, and by the way keep your ass
where ever you are from, cause you know you would get it kicked all over the
place talking shit like that. I think you are a little scared *** hiding
behind a computer. So what happened, you visited the greatest county in the
world, and opened your smartass mouth and a more than willing American shut
it up for you? No we have jobs in America, we can't sit at home all day and
race...

HAHA

I thought Dave's subject was funny, but maybe this is even funnier. If
only for it's complete idiocy.

Calm down there, Buckweat Zideco.

(If your post was meant in jest, try some /sarcasm tags or a smiley :) )

[various screaming, yelling, WWF trash-talking, and general rampant
stupidity snipped]

I suppose none of you chest-thumpers noticed that the original post said
"we Americans," was written by Dave Henrie -- a gent who's as American
as Apple Pie and full automatic weapons, and was thoroughly
tongue-in-cheek? Watta buncha goons!

by **Dave Henri** » Tue, 06 Mar 2001 00:45:15

NO Don , I'm not a S.P. hiding behind my computer. And I truly am an
American.(and said as much a couple of times in the original post.)
Traveled throughout the West, Lived in two States. With the exception of a
few days in Canada, I have never left the country.
I am, and have said so here MANY times, a ridiculously BAD sim racer.
But I enjoy it and I find humour(or at least I thought I did) in mine and
other's
lack of speed.
Bird flip accepted, I should have put a smiley in there somewhere.
Have fun

1) The original post was *by* an American. It's called a joke.
2) *You're* the one hiding behind a computer screen making threats.
3) Country has an "r" in it.
4) America is not the greatest country on Earth.
5) *Plonk*

live and prosper.... its Americans that are the problem..
