    Obsession - The 24 Hours of Lemons, the greatest racing series in the world.

    Rules:
    - Car can't cost more than $500 in total (you can sell parts to get the cost down, but you must have invoices for everything)
    - Must have standard racing safety equipment (roll cage, fire extinguisher, engine cutoff, safety gear does not count toward the $500 total)
    - You must drive safely

    That's... pretty much it. You are encouraged to bribe the judges. There are three different classes depending on how well they think you might do, along with the overall "quality" of your car.
    If you don't drive safely, there are creative time-sucking penalties, like having to complete a Bob Ross painting on the side of your car, or solving a puzzle on the hood of your car, or catching a fish in the pond adjacent to the race track.

    The grand prize isn't who won, but who did the most with the least. Your stock BMW isn't going to win the grand prize. The Volkswagen diesel engine-swapped Corvair will.

    The goal is to have fun. Team names include "Ran When Parked Racing," "Team WD-39" and "Team Ferrrari" that races a Pontiac Fiero with a body kit to look like a Ferrari F-40. One of the most successful teams races a BWM with a functioning beer tap sticking out of the trunk. Vermin Supreme shows up offering free horsepower to all Americans. The independent nation of "Slowjamistan" sponsors a car. Car & Driver sponsors a car. Technical high schools sponsor cars (and do very well.) Professional NASCAR drivers race regularly.

    It's all insanely fun.

    Ohhh, the stuff I'm learning about that I'm too stupid to understand, that eventually I'll get smart enough to do for myself...

    I don't know why, but recently I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos on the Porsche 912. That's right, not the fabled 911, but the 912. As much as I like to own one, it's likely to be beyond my financial means. Somehow the simplicity of the 912 attracted me to watch endless videos after videos on this car.

    I started watching some videos of a guy in Asia who finds things in the garbage, next to rivers, and then restores them. Then Youtube threw up a "FAKE" video in my recommendations, and I came to learn how these videos are made, and how they're faked. I then felt stupid for not suspecting the simple subterfuge.

    Watching someone take a blowtorch to Taylor Swift's CD of Christmas music. Guess he didn't get tickets to the tour.

    If you car guys haven't discovered Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, you are missing a treat.

    Answers with Joe

    Joe covers Science/Space, Strange History, Unsolved Mysteries and Humor...all equally well. He has a second channel with a less formal Vlog format called Joe Scott - TMI, where he has a post about The Beatles. I like his delivery and his curiosity about...well...everything. I fell like I have a similar way about going down rabbit holes when I find an interesting topic.

    Breaking Bad's "Mini Sodes. Stuff we've never seen before, several were good, especially Hank and Marie's Good Cop/Bad Cop (always figured that childless couple had a kinky side) and Marie's (hilarious) diary scene

    I'm fascinated with the blues guitar performances and free lessons presented by "daddystovepipe", a European artist who nail a myriad of American blues styles and offers clear, concise instruction on how to play his interpretations of them.

    Any 70s-80s "Top of the Pops" and lately I've been digging "Solid Gold" episodes for their occasional weirdness
