Don't try to sell that dude from Redbull, that SOB has 30x more money than
he can possibly spend, hell I was watching a program where he was
refurbishing a freaking 60's jetliner, to the tune of something (if I recall
the program at all) 30 million. 30 million plus the hangers he built for
them, to display them, jesus h chrysler man... next year them drinks will
be 4 bucks a can (instead of 3.5 bucks a freaking can) you know that is more
than I ever paid for a beer delivered one at a time at a club around here...

me bets that you will have your track rebuilt.

Apparently there are still enough idiots out there falling for their
marketing and gulping down the stuff in hectolitres, so don't blame the man, blame them taker cultures ... ;-)

Hell, I can, but don't really blame him, (over here it is a free country,
lol) but I do hate people who blatantly "rob" you, this dude is one of the
culprits. Pepsi at least figured it out, and yeah could just be
appearances, but maybe just a little itty bity bit. To quit paying 2billion
a second for superbowl commercials then raising prices. They are reportedly
trying to start some kind of aid program with that money now.

Trying selling something that no one has to buy could hardly be called
robbery.

Pepsi is an inferior product compared to the original commercial one.
Before that it was homemade and the recipe was commonly known.

Hey if people will pay it (and it's US $100,000's per 10 seconds) then
that's called a free market. It's just a marketing blip. Like
Christmas for the stores.

In any case I can see nothing in your post that is near On topic. So I'll do it.

Lately I've been practicing on Bathurst (Mt. Panorama) and the only thing I've
seen that does it justice is the movie "Love the Beast". Those cuts through
the rocks are just unreal.

What, sim racing in general? F1 cars? iRacing? Or some sort of
cocktail?

PS - sorry to break tradition with a prompt reply.
