Raleigh NC: Jeff Gordon announced a couple weeks back that he was firing his entire pit crew.
The big surprise came in the wake of President Obama's general NASCAR outreach, in particular a federal scheme to employ disadvantaged inner-city youth.
What sealed the deal was a recent study that showed how unemployed youths from Harlem were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds -and without proper equipment- whereas Gordon's existing crew could only do it in 8 seconds, and this with thousands of dollars worth of the latest high-tech power tools.
Initially thought to be an innovative and bold move by Gordon's management team -as many races are won or lost in the pits- Gordon got more than he bargained for: at the crew's first practice session, not only were the inexperienced hoodies able to switch all 4 wheels in under 6 seconds, but within 9 seconds they had changed the paint scheme, altered the VIN number, and sold the car to Dale Earnhardt Jr. for 10 cases of beer,
a bag of weed, and some photos of Gordon's wife in the shower...

Yeah, I know.
“...VIN number...” is as stupid as “ATM machine” and “PIN number”.

The urban culture has been pushed out and is now full of a bunch of greeny, neo-hippie artists with shops selling renewable furniture. Unemployed youths from Harlem now would just stand there and complain the car wasn't green and swap it for a Pious.

LOL.
Yeah, I am sure there are a lot of people who feel that way.
Keeps me awake nights.
The joke is funny I am surprised it comes from Reaganite Republicans because it is also racist, Not that I am against that, just wonder about the wisdom of it.
And of those who say I don’t belong here.
