Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Most of these cars start as non-running junkers. Racers can sell parts off the car and add to the budget but must keep track of it all.

The big investment is time. Looking for cheap parts, making the car reliable, etc.
