Corrections:

Haha my thoughts exactly when I read it.

Like most race car drivers, no personality. :bellyroll:

Still love him though.

Leave him alone. He knows what he's doing.

I wonder if he actually has a minor personality or mood disorder. He is so emotionless. He reminds me of someone with high functioning aspergers or maybe he is on a shit-ton of beta blockers or mood stabilizers (SSRI's).

I heard he likes to get crazy at karaoke parties. :iono:
