Sauber F1 Team Cuts Car in Half

I did not realize that they were squeezed in their ass down/feet up. Not a very luxurious ride. I wish they would have shown the engine/trans/brakes.

I'll take the NASCAR girls. Much lighter on the wallet than the Formula 1 chicks. A little pot,vodka and xanax is all they need, plus a Wendy's value meal if they become *****y.
