92 was the new body style but didn’t have the trunk spoiler. Been too long to recall if the 93 had it.

Intimidation is a rather strong word here.
I live my life a quarterly report at a time, for those 15 minutes or less I’m free.
I remember the days when sniffing White-Out was illegal and I had to soup up my office chair to outrun HR. That’s how NASCHAIR was born, in case you didn’t know.
No -- he wagered exactly what he should have. People not understanding that show that A) Most Americans would do horribly at Jeopardy and B) Most Americans suck at math.
Emma wagered what would be exactly $1 more than James (if he went all-in) to guarantee a win if she got it right. This is the optimal play. James knew Emma would bet that amount so he wagered enough to cover the 3rd place guy (in case he went all-in). There was no mathematical point to betting any more than James did.

Duh.
Of course, The Idiots Of Twitter are having a field day with their claims that James lost on purpose because he bet so low.
The girl in first is going to bet enough to cover him doubling up. Since he can’t pass her, he bets enough to cover 3rd place doubling up. If everyone got the question wrong (which they didn’t), he’d still win.

The father of a friend guy I knew in college was involved in the recovery of a P-38 that had been buried under a few hundred feet of snow. This might be of interest:

If you are going to make a bad financial decision at least buy something interesting. Your grandkids won’t be impressed hearing about the time you got a huge, unexpected raise and immediately ran out and bought an entry level luxury crossover. Woof.
Agree. Keep the Honda a year, pocket the 24k. Then keep the Honda another year and pocket another 24k. Then keep the Honda another year and pocket the 24k. Then keep the Honda another year and pocket the 24k. Do you see where I’m going with this?
