I wasn't implying that rally racing is athletic, just not as inane and mind numbing as NASCAR. Non-Athletic is just a part of the cool mock acronym.

I think you may have misunderstood rallying, its not like you get points for ploughing through crowds. Its racing not brutal violence. accidents sometimes happen; if the course layout is such that the spectators are standing in a completely stupid place, they get destroyed. The sport is not bad, the organisation is often completely retarded.
look what you made me do, i'm not even a rally fan.

Auto racing is, was, and always will be a sport. The risk to life and limb, the peak physical condition required, and the years of dedication and training required to compete push far beyond the envelope set by most sports. Even if you want to go against NASCAR you have to contend with 3 things: on the super speedways like Talladega the race is 500 miles long, the interior temperature of the car approaches 147-155 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale, and for the duration of the track the average G force acting laterally on the driver is 4 times that of earth's gravitation. Drivers often lose as much as 27 lbs of fluids in a single 500 mile circut. No other sport has those kind of extremes. Only auto racing.

You're confusing sports with astronautics, my friend. From a standpoint of pure physical endurance, sure, it's impressive. But I imagine that it would take a similar number of years of dedication and training for one to be able to fuck oneself in the ass. That doesn't mean I want to watch it. That doesn't make it entertaining. That doesn't make it a sport.

Sport requires intense physical exertion
Driving a car does not. No matter how fast you are going.
This is the reason that curling, darts, and baseball are also not sports

Yes. I have played it. I have watched it. Playing it is fun, you get to swing at a ball, and on the off chance that you hit it, you run really fast to first base. Once you get there, you have about 5 minutes(10 for professionals!) to wait before you get to do anything else of a physical nature.
Then when your team's out, you wait for half an inning, catch a fly ball, then wait for the rest of the inning to be over because in any given inning, you are unlikely to need to actually do much.
Pitchers are the only people on a given baseball team consistently making an effort to do something.

I remember when I was a kid being so befuddled as to why my dad liked NASCAR. I would sit there with him and ask, "So, they just go around and around?" "Yeah." "At almost the same speed, but pulling off and on?" "Yeah." "For how long?" "Hours." "So why are you watching it?" I was always pretty sure it was just for the wrecks. It was the only interesting part of it that I could see.

Teodor has an excellent point here. Why IS that stuff so complicated? And the software is no better. I think the industry makes it difficult to use on purpose to keep people from realizing that anyone, anywhere can make music if they want to.

Fived for Beef at the pinnacle of the Engish Language. Too many car comments relative to abject, worshipful Beef-adoration...'extremely special'...'Dogg you know I ain't got the kind of mind it takes to cook frittata you know I got no sense of eggs YOU KNOW I GOT NO SENSE OF EGGS'... Beef is highlighting the recursive nature of depressive loops: even a relatively high-functioning depressive can be sent into a tailspin of inability by untoward stimuli like the sensation of being rushed to accomplish an otherwise doable deed. Also, being angry or otherwise sub-optimal with friends you've enlisted to help...sometimes I think that Onstad's dedication to occasional, deep, dark psychological realism in the midst of the ridiculum is what makes Achewood so much more engaging than even the few other comics that actually manage to be funny. Oog. Too long. Cereal with grain milk, bannana, cinnamon and peanut butter are to blame. And me.
