  1. I was watching the first video and the announcers were talking about Sam Schmidt driving a C8 Corvette with special controls because he is a quadraplegic after crashing in an Indycar. Arrow Electronics, sponsor of his Indycar team, created the system. It tracks his head movements to control the steering and he blows or sucks on a straw to control the accelerator and brakes. It's pretty remarkable!

    1. Have I mentioned to you before that I'm, well, annoyed, frustrated, and a bit insulted when told to go look at the competition's story about something - like you sending me a link to Jalopnik about Sam Schmidt, when I've already posted about that thing, that you looked up on some other website? https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/06/sam-schmidt-wanted-to-drive-car-again.html

    2. so, don't do that. It's not nice.
      Might as well tell some guy what other men think of having sex with his girlfriend.
      Not cool

  2. I'm sorry, Jesse. I usually try to check your archives first, but I didn't remember you posting about Sam Schmidt before. I'll try not to do it again.

    1. lol, thanks! Hell, I don't remember posting it either. BUT I DID, which I only found out by checking BECAUSE you sent me a link to the competition.
      I sure can't recall much of what I've posted.
