All I need now is fiscal responsibility and national debt reduction to get GOP Bingo!

“There are three sports: Bull fighting, Mountain climbing, and Riding in an Uber. The rest are just games.”

Hurtling down the road at 75mph in a thin metal box controlled by a total stranger without a vetted level of prior experience, an uninspected vehicle, and unknown brake/tire quality is the bigger of my concerns.

I made the trip from CA to OK (split off the route then to go see my uncle in Mississippi) in grandma’s old GTO a few years back...all good fun until the engine popped outside OKC and we had to rent a U-Haul and flatbed to finish the drive.

I vote yes on this one

I’m building a house and big shop, and have lots of time and even more projects. Sadly, I don’t have endless money.

Username checks out!

The whole time I was driving I thought about how much more realistic it would have been to drive an un-air conditioned 1950 Pontiac or something.

It runs great!

I actually believe that lip protector to be the root source of the fire. Due to the heated debate over whether it should or shouldn’t be left on, I suspect some lip protector haters got really fired up and went to town on the poor Demon.

My ignition switch broke recently and I couldn’t turn off the engine.

Shocking. I always figured guys who bought Dodge Demons were totally zen and would only go to tracks after journaling their feelings and embracing their inner children, and then only to help others there self-actualize their potential. This comes as a great surprise.

They also tend to eat better foods (your grandma’s full fat recipes that went out of fashion in the early 90's are way healthier than most of the garbage people eat today). This, in turn, allows them to spend less on…

As a volunteer at my local track, let me ask “what the hell are these dudes doing?”

yeah, but as soon as the new call-of-duty game comes out, I’m first on line. I got 16 COD games in my closet right now...

“Most of these people are pretty salt-of-the-earth”

I think the cost isn’t so much in the aquisition as much as it’s in the storage costs for those of us living in a city or a burb under the watchful eye of an HOA. (Mine says I can’t store my #2 collectable under a cover in my own driveway.)

Case in point: on my dad’s property (off the top of my head) are - RX3 SP, ‘41 Ford F1, 37(?) Ford factory stock flatbed, 2 late 30's truck…
