After thrilling sold-out crowds across Europe, the Hot Wheels Stunt Show is crossing the Atlantic for its first-ever United States tour in 2027
The show features 15 vehicles to experience, headlined by life-size, high-performance Hot Wheels favorites including the GT Scorcher, Rodger Dodger, and the legendary Bone Shaker.

I had never heard of Die Sinker's Riffles until this weekend, and then, when looking in my garage for a caliper and micrometer to bring to work, discovered that I have a set!
So, die (part making metal mass that is pressed over a sheet of metal) sinker (down) riffles (files)
A quick-thinking man came to the rescue of 19 students and the driver of a runaway school bus in Saint Paul, Minnesota
the Battle Creek Middle School bus was rolling down the street at about 10 mph with its doors wide open and its lights flashing.
Ahmed said it caught his attention because the lights of a school bus normally don't flash unless it is at a complete stop.
"When he drove past me, it really shook me," Ahmed told CBS News Wednesday. "I was like, 'What is going on?'"
As captured on nearby security cameras, Ahmed, who works at a nearby store, sprinted from the sidewalk and jumped onto the moving bus.
"I saw the bus driver obviously having a medical emergency," Ahmed said. "All I looked at was the gear control and I was trying to put it into park."
Ahmed, who told CBS News he had never been behind the wheel of a bus before, said he briefly got confused between the reverse and park selections on the gear shift and accidentally put the bus into reverse.

a guy with a pair of GNs in his garage, and a 14 yr old son.... posted on facebook that he told his son if he gets one running, he can use it in high school
"hey if you fixed one of those cars in the garage you'd probably have the fastest and coolest car in high school."
Yesterday when I got home from work he's watching tv and says all cool & collective "I got that car running today."

"No shit?"
" ya I dumped gas in the throttle body and it ran."

1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 500 Lightweight factory racer, 1-of-212, in storge since 1970, with only 2400 miles on it (thank you George!)
The portly front bench seat was ditched in favor of a pair of basic Bostrom bucket seats. These were sourced from Ford’s police package and saved a bunch of weight. The heater, radio, clock, armrests, door pulls, dash padding, dome lights, and even the passenger sun visor were all ditched. Instead of carpeting and sound deadening, the car just got a thin rubber mat. Made with aluminum bumpers, aluminum Borg Warner transmission, bellhousing, and shifter
