Had I actually followed IndyCar, would I have known that there was actually a chance that Alonso wouldn't make it into the Indy 500?
According to reports, Alonso's McLaren:
- did not have a steering wheel just before testing in Texas;
- was painted the wrong orange, and sat in a paint shop for a month;
- had the wrong tire sensors and thus failed to notice a puncture before a qualifying run;
- had gearing for 227.5 mph instead of 229 mph;
- had wonky suspension setup because of failure to convert from metric to American!
What the fuck?!

Out of topic but thought that would be of interest to you.
There is a recent documentary on YT about Kolyma ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolyma ) on YouTube by popular Russian interviewer / Youtube vlogger. It has English subitles added by the author:

@Sanchez: Thanks!
would it be inappropriate to make a mclaren f1 joke at this point? "gp2! gp2!!"
@augie: Long time no hear. How is your 993?
hey buddy! things are good -- the daughter is 5yo and getting ready for kindergarten, which is crazy. i know it's trite, but enjoy the early years (as hard as they are). the days are long, but the years are short! 993 is good - mostly sitting in my garage. considering selling it for something i'll drive daily (still love the 997.2 GTS). let's grab an international lunch soon.
