$100k will get you into a nice pre-owned Formula Ford with a trailer and a decades-worth of tires, spares, engine rebuilds, fuel, paid track days, driver-gear, and an arrive-and-drive pit crew, and you’d have money left over.

Hell yes to this.

This is one of those scenarios when an old and used thing is objectively better than the newer version.

One trip to the referee and you’d be set for life. It’s not that hard.

I’d have been much happier if the headline read “Louisiana Police Chief ON-FIRE After Leaked Surveillance Footage...”

Hope they decide to retain Claire Williams as Deputy Principal - she’s been running a large part of that show (the parts that work!) for many years now.

As someone who’s been waiting since February for a “routine” passport renewal, I’ve been checking on this at least weekly. Back when the lockdown first went into effect, they were saying “significantly longer than the usual 6-8 weeks”. I’m going into month 5 of waiting, so... yeah.

Ever tried to cut carbon fiber with a toothed saw?  Snags for days.  Abrasives are the way to cut CF if you want quick and clean.

Wow, you missed the most important one: Think in the Queen’s English.

Wait, there are people who don’t put hash browns in a breakfast sandwich? I thought everyone knew this.

This is all great except for one glaring error:

Assuming that the mechanical bits are working correctly (there is only two moving parts) and the metal itself doesn’t fail there isn’t much that can go wrong.
