I don't believe you have to, although that could vary by state and lottery game. I would never claim the jackpot myself. First call after I learn that I've won is to my financial adviser at Edward Jones. Second call is to a lawyer. Then, when you have everything figured out, including a blind trust to claim the…

While I disagree with you on the CP rating (if it's been well taken care of, $6k, while a trifle high, isn't terrible), that transmission is something to worry about. Unless, like my family, you have spare 323 GTXs lying around, it's something to keep in mind.

Exactly what went through my mind. Hagrid has all the answers.

Came to post this, glad to see it was already posted. Roadkill is one of the greatest car shows anywhere.

To their credit, the monkeys were trained. But they were still monkeys. Once they undid every bolt, they got bored and went searching for bananas. Then they had to hire a different group of trained monkeys to put it back together.

Good point. If you're going to scam someone out of some cash by claiming to make their car faster, maybe put in a larger turbo, and definitely crank up the boost. Then at least it'll feel fast, and drive off of your property, until it blows up. Honestly, it'd probably even make it to the track for that first run…

Two trucks side by side, yes, and I'll agree that's annoying. But it's pretty obvious (a) that they're going slow or nearly stopped from very far away (in my opinion, but then again I wasn't there), and (b) that there's is a huge line of stopped traffic in front of the trucks, hence the reason they're nearly stopped.

Obligatory comment about that being a British roadster (with American go-fast bits).

My wife and I always mean to head over to Tillamook during the fair, but never seem to. Perhaps this year.

How did my suggestion of Pig N Ford racing not make the grade? Racing around a dirt oval, on a Model T chassis, with a pig in your lap, at the county fair. It's got Redneck written all over it!

Note the lack of side mirrors. So that leaves just a rear-view for inside; except the rear visibility is terrible out that tiny rear window, so this is the solution. It's literally a periscope for the driver to see what's behind him.

When it hasn't quite set in just how much it's going to cost to fix/replace.

I like to think that's what the car was thinking... "If I grenade my motor, maybe it'll burn these stupid front wheels so he'll put something good on me."

The only right answer is Pig N Ford racing.

It's like the royal "we." "We here at Jalopnik.com...and by 'we', I mean me..."

The Audi RS7 doesn't have 560 Yakpower. That's naively assuming that a horse has the same power as a yak, and I'd venture to say that the yak has more power. I leave it to the Jalops to determine just how much power a yak produces...

I stopped trying to figure out what the Gawker heads were doing a long time ago...

Perhaps it shows as deadspin.com to you, but to myself (and probably the OP) it's Jalopnik.com, a site about cars.

I would submit that the specific car, while important, is not necessarily crucial to the enjoyment of the road. Mind you, a great freaking truck isn't going to be much fun, but anything with enough zing to get out of it's own way, and enough road holding to not fly off will do the trick.

Stick to it. Best way to start is to co-drive, or even just work a road marshal position. From there, either rent or buy an already built car — see what others have done. Then break into building your own car.
