@LeoParente Way to be insensitive to our feelings, jeez old man! lol jk..
but seriously with all the 9/11 victims I think its going to be a touchy
subject for atleast another decade.. but we still love you 😀

haygoodb says:

@LeoParente lovely. I can only hope he/she is joking, too.

akahoondog says:

Leo i loved it all, this is still the best part of my saturday mornings and
i wouldn’t have it any other way

punkenduro says:

i wish i could still watch wrc in america. the driving to so epic. and dtm
(and jgtc) are the shit. that last clip is great, the car of tomarrow (and
i hope to god more road racing) is the only way nascar will stay number on
in the us.

300spartan16 says:

@LeoParente leo,dont worry man,i fucking hate everyone. lets get back to
the cars though,kk? 😉 by the way,your awesome! your better than derick
D,and alex roy. J.F. musial is a fag lol.

nagasako7 says:

@LeoParente To be fair, for you, after hearing Faux News’ rhetoric, they
kinda deserve it. In the we all know damn right that the Arabian racer in
your history segment didn’t get any flak. Nowdays a Muslim cabbie gets his
throat slit due to Faux News viewers.

che996 says:

leo great vid…why do you hate block?

AerodynamicFlow says:

@MrNoahthefox95 Do you read? Not one hour ago I said that my comment was
directed at the idiots misinterpreting Leo. You sir help prove my point
that nobody knows how to take sarcasm. And yes, I watch Top Gear quite
often. But in Europe they can take sarcasm.

KSGixxer76 says:

@LeoParente Leo, the opening was great, especially the Arabian/Bedouin
line. I say don’t allow the YouTube commenting trolls the power stifle your
creativity by considering their ignorant, hateful, and down right dumb
comments. Keep up the good work.

eeeen321 says:

@mrk1190 LMFAO….. God damn! You are an ASS!! my bad, my bad…..lol….
some of us work, on ships, in the water, 80 miles off the coast, without
computers or reception……. lol.

OMGItsWeasel says:

no Leo, Ken Block cannot leave the DTM list. KB is a fucking joke man. paid
to get into motorsports and hell pay to get out of it too. i cant stand
people who exploit the automotive enthusiast culture to peddle their
useless-to-us wares. the Fox jab was an uppercut, good game. useless
sensationalist assholes who scare our stupid people into hysteria and
paranoia. FOX, STOP PREYING ON STUPID PEOPLE.

TheZ06pilot says:

@eeeen321 no one is running. Maybe you don’t understand how advertising
works. Advertisers pay them (Fast Lane Daily) money to advertise on their
show. Which in return they can keep the lights on pay the host, send the
host to races to do live reporting. In return viewers buy product from the
advertiser. To keep it short no viewers no advertisers. Keep drinking the
Obama kool-aid and I’m sure you will be just fine. If you found hair in
your food you wouldn’t go back. I found crap in shakedown

nagasako7 says:

Leo are you going to cover the results of Indy MotoGP? Good job Honda
Repsol MotoGP. Totally walked Ben Spiers on the straight away.

Xénos Polemistí̱s says:

They shouldnt allow you to post until after the video is finished to
prevent unnecessary comments

LeoParente says:

‘IT’ being THE JOKES, for all of you having trouble keeping up or assuming
I may mean racism. !! Hey, I just realized, last week I debuted the Special
Ed Edition………Apparently, a week earlier then needed! But, we are NOT
dumbing down the show…..No matter how hard some of the audience appears
to warrant it. Tune in to see what I say next week! Thanks.

cheddyrod says:

Leo, that opening was damn funny. It was worthy of Top Gear. I noticed you
unfortunately got some rather rude marks, because Yanks just don’t have a
sense of humor. One idiot even wondered if you were being sarcastic.

mrk1190 says:

@L1ghtninChris what? i didnt block you

L1ghtninChris says:

@mrk1190 check again, i cant comment on ur videos or pm or wall comment it
says “User of this video has blocked you” and i havent seen u commenting
recently so i was gunna msg u but then it said im blocked :S

arlingo says:

@LeoParente We know.

zedex26 says:

is it just me or was the WRC segment the left and right stereo weren’t in
sync?

Moe Raafat says:

WTF arabs are scary? i used to be a fan, Leo. now you’re calling me scary
WTF? i’m just sayin that ain’t cool and i’m offended

LeoParente says:

@Josephalosaurus Channeling my inner Stephen Colbert! JF read that 30% of
his viewers think he’s serious. I read that Conservatives are more likely
to think he’s making fun of liberals and THEIR agenda vs slamming the Reps.
Up until the past 2 days, my reaction would have been, “Really?”. Now it’s,
“I believe that.”

SoccerMan1337 says:

should talk about ALMS at road america last weekend. I was there! So was
the Jetta TDI cup, “green” and quiet racing.

bottomlayer says:

today’s episode is funny and awesome

Noah Fox says:

@AerodynamicFlow Chill the hell out! have you ever seen top gear?! Jeremy
Criticizes everything, especially America, And I dont care! I dont take it
seriously! Thats just him. Dont get offended that easily.

gooferman609 says:

that WRC citroen rally car looks awesome

teamusaf says:

hey Leo STFU…nobody cares about your political views…stick to the racing

LeoParente says:

BTW – THANK YOU to all of you that got the jokes! And to put the haters
into perspective, head over to vodcars/fastlanedaily homepage to digest
THIS gem – “How dare you Leo. That was unpatriotic and unAmerican. Almost
as unpatriotic as speaking out against the president during a time of war.
Well, the previous president. Speaking out against the current president is
the MOST patriotic thing you can do.” Unbelievable. Oh well, on to next
week!

Adam Jordison says:

I love DTM

Jontenn says:

Whoa, are people crying about him making fun of fox news, and being clearly
sacastic? I didn’t know that the viewers of FLD had>56 IQ

mrk1190 says:

@cheddyrod Not really because I’m not sure if he’s praising fox news or
he’s kidding around because it’s that bizarre on what he’s talking about.
It really seems unbelievable that he would say Fox News is helping us when
they’re really hurting.

Peter Mayer says:

Good jab Leo!

mrk1190 says:

@eeeen321 what are you even going with that statement? Are a lot of you
ignorant at the fact I questioned this video in a mature manner? I mean I
didn’t even make assumptions that this guy was a Fox news fan. So show some
respect. That goes to all that have attacked just because of one simple yes
or no question. There was no need for smart remarks, well actually they
were pretty down right dumb and rude.

LeoParente says:

@suddenobsession Not hate. Jokes [using the MotoGP + Indy themes] about
those who hate without reason and think doing so is American and patriotic.
But boy, so many take it as seriously true racism. That’s weird, IMO.

LeoParente says:

@mrk1190 It must have been MY bad writing. The thread of the opening was
MotoGP and Indy. But, the power of Fox + Islam + immigration has too many
people only hearing those words only. F’ing sad. And a ‘great’, but
depressing lesson for my writing for this audience. The terrorists may not
have won, but ‘stupid’ is……

cmtegaravello says:

Formula 1 became a joke, I wish it was like 15 – 20 years ago

Honey Nut Cherios says:

@LeoParente You still rock and I love Time Attack even though you didn’t
mention it … O_o jk ..

cheddyrod says:

@mrk1190 Are you really that dense?

eeeen321 says:

@mrk1190 …..and no, I am aware that there are many white rappers I could
have listed, but that was not what Vanilla Ice represents towards you, I
meant Vanilla Ice because he is still crazy fake and always has been the
lamest of the lame, no matter what the race.

mikedundee1979 says:

good episode, i always learn from this guy.

LuckyDT says:

@suddenobsession Parente is Italian I believe. My family is Portugese and
I’ve never heard of “Parente” being a Portugese surname.

Fat Man says:

@LeoParente, you should not apologise over your opening statement it had so
much hyperbole that i was wondering if you had been breathing in the Fumes
from your drive of the applio Gumpert,. Keep up the good work.

victor111262 says:

can some one tell me he was being sarcastic………come on…….if not
this is kind of fuck up

TreeSlMPLE says:

His humor sucks.

LeoParente says:

OK, here’s fair + balanced for u haters. I blame Obama’s socialist agenda 4
encouraging ALMS to adopt performance-balancing share-the-wealth rules that
unfairly distribute speed to the competition, penalizing Corvette’s rights
to its hard-work / hard-earned advantages! The fair market of racing should
determine the winners, not socialist hand-outs! Well, except for that GM
bailout (cuz that kept Corvette Racing and GM IS America, right?). Ha! Ha?

LeoParente says:

@che996 Because I think he’s Arab. THAT WAS A JOKE! Like Block’s vids, I
like Block’s honesty about the WRC challenge. DTM to Ford PR for its spin,
DTM to Block because, IMO, the smartest thing he can do is finish the
Rallies, not crash. DTM for no self-control. That’s it.

teamusaf says:

@eeeen321 WOW! Zero-Dipshit in 3.2 seconds…must be a new record for
internet tough guys.

LeoParente says:

@rasheedn I find it sad that too many people took it seriously. It was
sarcasm / satire. If you knew that and took it as offensive, sorry. If you
thought it was real and therefore racist, what a sad inditement on
civilzation and humanity. But from this I have learned the limitations and
toxic nature of cultural topics. Or I am a damned fine actor! It was not
real racism. Thank you.

bigandbad9 says:

the 1000th episode on fast lane daily should be a hour long if yes vote
thumbs up

LeoParente says:

@victor111262 See LittleMike’s comment that follws. T’was sarcasm, sir.
wow.
