Where I think you lost people was your point has nothing to do with this post. This isn't a case of what you're describing nor is it even relevant. The post isn't about DD - who is a great driver - yet you have tried to make it seem like RB was stealing something from Dave or didn't earn the ride. You're comments about "rich kids" and "not knowing a torsion bar" all seem directed towards RB since that is who and what this post is about. If it's not about him then your post is irrelevant to the topic at hand. It clearly looked to me in your first post that you were trying to make it seem that RB hadnt earned this at all.....especially since that's what the topic was about. I sympathize with your feelings but it's a fact of life - there will always be an up and coming guy. I would bet DD was probably replacing some guys every bit as good as him when he was younger. Most athletes don't even get to compete still in their respective sports once they hit 40. Again though - that's another topic and has nothing to do with this post. I'm sure DD will do fine and since it was earlier stated was his own choice to go with the 37 I don't get your beef.
