It’s Friday! Well, it’s that time of year again when I bitch about the Nascar season being over and being left with only the Chicago Bears games for my Sunday afternoon entertainment. Even worse, the team is so bad again this year that they’ll be missing the playoffs and concluding their season very soon. On a brighter note, Jimmy Johnson announced that he will retire from Nascar after the upcoming 2020 season! I certainly wasn’t surprised to hear the news because he’s been struggling for quite a while now and hasn’t won a race since 2017. I can only hope he doesn’t become a race commentator for Fox or NBC. Having to hear his weaselly voice calling the races every weekend would probably piss me off even more than his driving.
One of my reader’s came across a surprising scene at the University of Texas recently. A collection of Ford and Ferrari race cars were on display as a promotion for the film Ford vs. Ferrari starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale. He was able to snap a few photos from the event which appear in the gallery below. Definitely not something that you see every day!
Double babes & double jokes every Friday… enjoy!

Keep, There were about a dozen Shelby cars and a Ferrari here in Austin today. They set up on the UT Austin campus for a few hours. I walked over and took some pics. They were promoting the upcoming movie. Several of the car owners said they had seen previews and were doubtful since it was a car movie but were surprised that is was actually pretty good.
I am not a knowledgeable car guy but one of the organizers said there were $13 million worth of cars there with the Ferrari being 8 of that amount and don’t ask me about the cars, Dammit Jim, I’m an Engineer, not a Car mechanic!
