This only works if you subscribe to the Gilles Villeneuve philosophy of "over the limit, all the time". I think it was Stirling Moss who said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that "the limit is the limit is the limit and anyone going beyond the limit is a damn fool". Of course, Moss and his peers raced in rolling gas tanks with no seatbelts and primitive helmets, but I have more respect for those guys because of their circumstances. I'd rather be like Jimmy Clark or Fangio, who had very few accidents or offs during their careers, than Michael Schumacher or even Senna, who seem to put the car into solid objects more often than drivers of their stature had any business doing. I guess it's a statement on modern times, given safety improvements in cars, but I like the old Grand Prix racing because those drivers always drove to win, but conducted themselves with grace and respect on the track. Senna and Schumacher just run/ran into people when things were really heated. It's a shame that Schumacher is the all-time title leader for this reason.
Damn this is going off topic. Sorry Billy.

And I would still argue that it's better to never come back holding a steering wheel.
So what do you say, Chuck? Care to let me lap your big bad Vipers? My Scoob obviously has nothing for you, but it might be fun to see if I do. I'm also a bit annoyed by Donnie's inference that I can't get up on the wheel.
