Fixie-Prix
Thinking back, most of the posting on here about cars seems to be driving and new car related, and less about repair and technical understanding. I, for one, have a less than thorough grasp of the workings of a modern car.
That said, Scrabblers seem pretty smart, and (maybe) technically able, and so I think we should look into racing in the 24 Hours of Lemons.
Basically, you spend no more than $500 to buy/build/fix/modify a car that must then run a grand prix. It seems like the kind of thing that even a terrible failure would be an awesome win.

Also, my Dad and I are going to a one day racing school as a Christmas present, so that should help.
Dude, good call on this topic not being covered. I haven’t gotten around to it yet, but I’ve been planning on trading my little 2001 kia rio for a beat up old pick up. I’m doing this for two reasons:
1. The ability to transport big things.
2. Hoping to learn a thing or two about auto maintenance.
Anyway, this 24 hours of lemons thing seems really awesome. Even just to watch. Doesn’t look like there are any local ones, though.
