I learn that my sister, who is not into cars at ALL , got tickets for her and her husband, who is equally not into cars at ALL , to USGP this past weekend...
Like... seriously. COME ON!!!
I once gushed about a 2015 Mustang we walked by in a parking lot (when they were still new and shiny) and she asked me why I cared and then shrugged her shoulders when I told her what the car was. She also looked at me funny when she learned I change my own oil.
And she goes to COTA before I get a chance to? Totally not fair. :(
Ok, ok... I’m done whining. But maybe this means I’ll be able to talk cars with her more in the future? One can only hope. ^_^

F1 is more of a sport than a car thing. My mom, who isn’t into cars at all, loves watching F1 races on TV. It’s an exciting atmosphere.

My sister doesn’t give two flying fucks about cars, at ALL. Not in a racing is a sport sense, not in an “oh, that’s pretty” sense, either.
She wants an Audi SUV (yeah... not even narrowing it down to a model name, because she doesn’t really know that much... Q5? Q7? What are those?)... only because she recognizes “Audi” and the idea of “luxury.”
My sister has never once in her life shown any interest in cars in any regard except for currently wanting an Audi, and previously wanting an Xterra (when they were still new to Nissan’s lineup) because “oooh shiny!”
Sigh.

Something tells me that a turd in a gift-wrapped box is exactly what’s on the Christmas list for good ol’ sis.

You can laugh at them being cold and miserable in the rain

So what you’re really saying is you’re pissed at yourself for not getting a ticket and going yourself this weekend :)

Nah. I couldn’t have gone myself anyway. It’s too far.

I feel like this is 80% of the general population when it comes to cars. Hell, even my GF thought I drove a BMW....I drive a Mercedes and she said it after I had the car for 3 months *sigh*

See if she’ll sell you the tickets for a reasonable price. If she truly doesn’t care about cars and racing, maybe you can get a good deal.

I thought something similar while watching the race with my brother and sister-in-law. Nope. If ever there was a race to get someone interested in F1 this would have been it.
