Oh gawd.... "Nascar" and "Race" should never ever have been allowed in the same sentence.

:withstupid: You ever driven one? I was watching a race the other day and it showed the in-car camera, every time teh car went into a turn the driver was slammed to the right, and on the straight aways the driver would try and wiggle his fingers to get the circulation back.

On the contrary, the actual racing in NASCAR is some of the best in motorsports, and by racing I mean "people competing for the win". The courses may be dull and the techonolgy may be irrelevant, but the racing is good.

If you move your seat up a notch you can plant your right knee against the center console and your left knee against the map pocket. You can also put your left foot on the dead pedal and use that to press you back in your seat. Unless, of course, you're left foot braking.

I don't even have a dash, nor the vent structure under the dash. The heater box just blows air straight up.

This is my daily driver. :afrocool:
