It's not just them. All of you over 50 with good credit know that every insurance Co, every health care provider, every financial planning agency, every assisted living Co, every reverse mortgage co, every person that has a spiel for seniors, is filling your mailboxes and e-mail with junk. It's just a modern fact of life. You have to pick and choose wisely.

Heres a question ..wonder which weighs more..a painted car or one thats wrapped? I suppose if one or the other was lighter they would have to put weight in it even anything out, but its curious.

Puts me in mind of the Mark Martin discussions..people saying he had an advantage cause he weighed so little (more recently same was said about Patrick in the beginning)

This question was posed a while back. Paint weighs a minimal amount more. But obviously it doesnt matter as Gordon has 3 wins & has held the points lead for 17 of the last 18 weeks.
 
Paint is heavier, but it's not significant. Wraps caught on because you can change your "look" quicker, which is an advantage in today's sponsor changes almost every race.

Mark is correct about lighter drivers having an advantage. It allows you more flexibility in bolting weight where it helps handling. NASCAR ended up changing the weighing rule to include the driver (used to be car only) because big drivers like Michael Waltrip and Jimmy Spencer were at a disadvantage. So a lighter driver isn't as much of an advantage anymore, although it still is an advantage. Makes me surprised there haven't been more women drivers, but the Good Ol' Boy network is tough to crack...

Tony Stewart. Doesnt need no damn diet.
 
Yep, there are and were many other big drivers.
Used to need big guys to go 500 miles without power steering etc.
 
Why do all of Jeff's new paint schemes have white numbers instead of yellow? I prefer yellow numbers.

Would be nice if each sponsor could stick to one paint scheme throughout a season. There are already enough different paint schemes between different sponsors.
