Your snotty tone is understandable in some fashion - if still unfortunate. My bad for assuming. Your bad for being a churl. .
Not my intent which is why I addressed you respectfully as MR. HANJY. I intended my coffee comment in a friendly spirit.

But a commoner? Really now....

that was a very ugly moment for sure. i get the difficulties of moving thru traffic but cocker's comments put me off too.

in other news, has jan magnussen seems to be no stranger to the red mist either. no, i'm not corvette bashing, but even back as far as F1, he's go a highlight reel of agressive driving.

There I go....

Assuming again. I attributed it to false formality. Condescension, even. I know this track quite well. If you had seen the clip I was referencing, you'd agree with me. The clip referenced here is FAR different, and far more enlightening.

And, yes. Entirely common. Nothing new about misspelling my name. Even twice.

In the interview with Cocker afterwards he claims to have been driving straight, thus blaming the other driver. Oh...too bad the track goes RIGHT at that point....stupid little douche bag....

Agree. And his post race comments only further prove that he was aptly named.

Call me nervous Nancy, and I have seen some hairy stuff but that driver is sooooo fortunate to walk away from that shunt. Speaks volumes to the integrity of the cup platform.

Ahh what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.....

Hopefully, after he sees the video, he will do the right thing. It's another reminder to all of us that there are times to be aggressive and times to be patient and sure. A fraction of a second is all it takes to make you look REALLY stupid.

Its amaizing how many drivers forget there is still 10 ft of car behind their drivers seat. Have seen this type of thing too many times before. I feel bad for Bryce and his team. They have been very quick in GTC the last few races.
