Trust me, I know that it would be extremely hard to come across another woman like my fiance. She is good looking, smart, and yet homely and down to earth. She had great values and is pretty frugal.

As far as Indy is concerned, Danica's team might have handled the fuel situation correctly, but nobody will really know except them because they will know exactly how much fuel was left in the car at the end of the race. Plus, it wasn't Danica's call. When her pit tells her that she has to back off, she has to back off. I think her average lap speeds decreased by about 5 mph.

My point is that if she didn't stall the car and she didn't wreck, she would have gained time and maybe had enough fuel at the end to really give them a run for their money.

I also have mixed feelings about women in certain situations. One example is in military platoons. I don't know about car racing yet, but something tells me that we are able to deal with the death of Dale Earnhardt a little easier than if we were to see Danica Patrick go up in a smoke cloud. That would be extremely tragic. Women want to be treated as equals, and in some places they should be and are, but I still believe in saving the women and children at all costs.
