I agree, George.  In fact I brought this up a year ago and was beheaded
for it.

What ever happened to "Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday".  I'd sure like
one of them there 2-door Taureses with a big 'ol V-8, manual trans, with
rear-wheel drive and nice wide racin' slicks.  Where can I buy me one of
them deals?

What technological advances have production vehicles gained from NASCAR?
Rear spoiler, roll cages, welded doors?  One thing I would like is those
wheels with the lug nuts that don't come out.  How come we don't have
that yet?

Atleast F1 gave us GoodYear Gatorbacks, better turbochargers, and paddle
shifters.
