My wife and her sister already can't back-up effectively, check the air in their tires, check the engine oil, or refill the windshield washer fluid. And to be fair there are lots of men that are the same way. We're already on our way to a world where people can't operate their motor vehicles.

So. Much. Win.

Strangely compelling position. Especially the part about hot dogs.

Why, oh why, would you do this?

It's a correct application of the term. "Hack" has never been exclusive to computers or even technical disciplines. Hacks can be applied to anything systematic whose rules and/or modes of operation can be studied such that work-arounds, short-cuts, and non-traditional operating modes can be developed.

One can hope for an early Festivus gift.

Forgot to mention that he put his foot down hard around turn 19. The thing made some noise!

I might have a shot of that....have yet to go through the days photos so you'll have to hold your breath while I check...

My thoughts exactly. They created a Frankenstein image: Combine multiple images into one since it was otherwise not possible to take an actual photo of the intended people and vehicle.
