Needs a speedometer where the numbers stop at 85 but the dial keeps going.

I dunno, there were College Republicans like this in the 80s. I knew a bunch.

I haven't actually worked *in finance* proper for years, but it used to be just ordinary bad stuff. Like yeah it's bad, but you have to be fairly wealthy AND choose to participate in it, so NBD.

The whole space is going to be a race to zero margins. I don't know why people think this is going to be a massively profitable industry.

I just looked at the scorecard. Good heavens.

70s 308s can be taken up to 300 hp with some not-too-batshit mods. Makes them feel like rockets, relatively speaking. (Still not actually fast, but much fastER.)

OMG yes. My first car was a 318/2v powered 1974 Charger and I'm totally in for this.

That's a particularly unflattering photo of him. He's not exactly evil-evil, but he does seem to be Aramco's lackey, among other deficiencies. (Saudi national oil company.)

It's a story because we all know he'll have a Massive Global Tantrum if he doesn't win the special thing.

Niche sports thing, but this is Not Good. This guy is a problem.

Agreed.

Meanwhile Mike Vrabel is a piece or two from making the Pats the Pats again -- without him (or Brady). It's kinda delicious.

I'd add to this list: *Some* blue state governors.

He doesn't seem like a viable national candidate, sir. But he's doing some things right, things that could *in part* serve as a template for a more viable candidate.

You think Chicagoans are tough, wait'll they roll into Boston. Boston has a history with occupying armies.

"Green olives on pizza" seems pretty tame by this thread's standards, but... green olives on pizza.

It may not be a "coup" so much as covering for someone who is... unwell.

Dang. Seems like a good idea, though.

(My dad is 83 and decided on his own to stop driving last year. Mom is 82 and... hasn't stopped.)

Doesn't FL re-test drivers annually after a certain age? Every state should.

100%. And Vrabel knows a bit about that.

Oh hey, the New England Patriots. It's nice to feel good about rooting for them again.
