    Obviously these folks were never on hand to see my son mow the grass before I'd let him leave when he had a hot date lined up....

    Your son and mine must have read the same book on how to mow. Have you ever seen a 17 yr old cutting with a 29" push mower at a full run.

    I LOVE watching any form of motorsports. One I just recently saw for the first time is "drifting". Drivers keep their cars in a continuous full on powerslide turn. My very first thought when I saw it was, "There's Jon on the riding lawn mower".

    Now he's got a 15 year old son of his own. You know what they say about paybacks!

    Speaking of vehicles designed for slower travel speeds. Recieved this in an email.

    Tricked out bumper cars, powered with 750 honda or kawasaki motorcycle engines..
    .

    Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal. They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we've seen in too long.

    There are seven of these little monsters floating around California , and they're all the creation of one man, Tom Wright , a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap. They were originally powered by Harley motors but they rattled like mad and Tom replaced them with Honda or Kawasaki 750's and a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH , which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase

    160 MPH?!? I notice that read 'measured as capable of 160 mph'. Can't imagine they'd actually drive them that fast.
