Hardee's/Carl's Jr. commercial... The PC left blows out a vein every time they run one of these type ads (not politically correct) but sales go up everytime with both us NW Arkansas rednecks but millenium women!!! I like their ads (surprise) but don't like their burgers...
Just me...

We do not have this chain of snack bars here in Brazil, but whenever a new advertisement comes out of them, You Tube shows.
Yes, the controversies too, I think the one that had more controversy was the one of the model Nina Agdal on the beach.
And what I liked the most was Emily Ratajkowski & Sara Lee Underwood.

As I said I like the ads more than the burgers... I'm more a McDonalds Quarter-pounder with cheese and fries kind of gentleman (I'm so bland I pick off the pickles

I prefer Checker's, Burger King second. And Five Guy's, if I'm willing to pay more and can sleep it off afterwards.
Some car related stuff...I think I posted this a few years ago, but it still holds true:
I grew up (sort of) 2nd generation Italian and salads were served after the meal, not piled on with the burger....
Bentley has a great competition pedigree. Here's Woolf Barnato on his way to outright victory in the 24 Heures du Mans of 1930, driving a 6.6 Litre Works Team Speed Six. First and second places were taken by Bentley Works Team cars.
Third and fourth places were taken by Fox-Nicholl Team Talbots. Lord Howe was fifth in his Alfa Romeo, and sixth place was taken by a Works Team Lea Francis, so UK entries were the first six across the finishing line.
Meanwhile, it was a day of agony and ecstacy for Bentley, since Sammy Davis failed to finish in a third Works Team Bentley Speed Six, and both Dorothy Paget Team 4.5-Litre Bentleys failed to finish.
For these F1 pit stops if the car is stopped more than 2 seconds to change 4 tires it is considered catastrophically slow!
Considered the founding fathers of the modern pit stop in the early '60s, a time when pit stops were so slow drivers would shut off their cars and climb out to have a cigarette while tires were changed and the car refueled, the Woods Brothers realized the longer the car was in the pits the more distance was lost on the track and revolutionized the pit stop. Though slow by today's standards they won enough races in NASCAR (back when 'stock cars' wear really stock cars modified for racing) that in 1965 Ford hired them to work the pits for Jim Clark's win!
The roll-bar is shorter than his helmet and in few racecars in 1963 had even a lap seatbelt. It was believed it was safer to be thrown from the car than to remain in the fireball of the wreck (quicker at least). My PT Cruiser has tires almost twice as wide Jim Clark's F1 car...
They either had massive balls or no brains...

Answering your question, about the need for seat belts.
JIM CLARK
The farmer from Scotland was an outstanding talent and the greatest driver of his epoque. During the sixties he competed very often, but not regularly in the Formula 2 events, because he was also involved in Indianapolis 500, the Tasman Series in Australia and New Zealand and British Touring Car Racing. For this reason it is one of the greatest tragedies in the history of international motorsport, that this extraordinary celebrity was killed in a Formula 2 race of minor personal importance at German Hockenheim at the beginning of april, 1968. The reason for the accident was speculated about for a long time, but there are important hints, that the crash had been caused by a slow puncture.

Beer cans today are built stronger than the monocuque chassis of his Lotus. How names like Jacky Stewart, A.J. Foyt, and Dan Gurney lived through that era is a miracle at best.Tree
