One guy I met at a HPDE at Road Atlanta back inn 1977 had just bought a old used race car, for $17,000. He had a little work done, and I got a ride around Road Atlanta in a real 911 RSR. It was astonishing how fast it was. I wonder what a real RSR from that era is worth now. Lots more than 17K

"According to police, deputies were pursuing the vehicle on I-71 just before it crashed into the bus. It's believed that the driver is in his 20s".

"Wooden start?)
I'll bet you could get that thing to fire right up, no problem!

This giant American bison is having a blood sample taken. To grasp its massive size, just compare its head to the 6-foot-tall doctor beside it. Often mistaken for buffalo, bison are the largest land animals in North America. They can stand up to 3.5 meters tall, weigh over a ton, and have sharp horns up to 60 centimeters long. Great for flipping stupid tourists.

I feel like this is one of those very misleading photos that's using the proximity of the 2 subjects to the camera to skew perception. I know that Bison are BIG animals, but...
