Reminder that this "Angel" was a deadbeat abusive father, who let his new wife abuse and terrorize his children.

Didn't know that. He was also in Basketball. That's as much as I know beyond he was a race car driver. But you know who else was? Jimmy.

Edit: Oh, sorry, that was Jerry.

And also could very well have survived the crash that killed him had he been wearing the Head and Neck Support (HANS) device that was available, but not mandatory, at the time. He called it “that damn noose” and claimed the tethers would more likely hang him than save him in the event of a crash. One of the greatest protective devices in motorsport since the helmet and the seatbelt and he eschewed it and suffered the consequences.

Don't let @Grayox@lemmy.ml hear you saying that. He may not like you speaking ill on his God.

Well thank you for telling us. I can’t wait for the onion article about how folks can’t wait to talk about it.

I hope it grows to the point that people say, “earn hart dead bait dad. Bad prsn. Not gud.”

Are we not even going to consider the possibility that his children may have had bad vibes / been unpleasant to be around??

Usually when I get into a relationship with someone and their kids have had vibes I immediately start abusing them, like no questions asked
