“The Jeep, which I had only driven maybe 5 miles prior to this trip, and which had been struggling with mechanical issues until late on Friday night, had done it.”

Or better yet, disbanded completely. Let Sanders talk to an empty room. Unless and until they’re going to give some actual information, they should just be ignored.
“I stepped back, let the steam subside, and continued filling the radiator until it had swallowed all two gallons of our coolant reserves. I put the cap back on and tried cranking the motor. It was too hot, and wouldn’t fire.”

Bribe a friend/a local car guy into teaching you on a a beatup truck that has gone through more previous owners than it has gears, and is still on the original clutch.

Good heavens, Teslas attract a better class of girl in a bikini.
SCCA Rules create a gray area where Section 3.1 prohibits high center of gravity vehicles such as trucks, but later states that there are exemptions due to weight and preparation. I’m sure for a privately-held event, it’s up to discretion. I would be scared to death to see this thing get squirrely while I was working…
