Stone corner markers should have an x on top to indicate the corner.

Around here, many had the letter of the family owning the property they were marking, at the time of installation. The actual "point" was often added after installation, in the form of an iron cut nail.

I've got a '79 Mazda RX-7 in the garage. Not so many miles as you put on that V Dub, It's a summer car.

Fast and fun, but not so much the other two. Though I have slept in the seats a time or two. ;-)

I had an '85, that was a really fun car. No A/C kinda fried me a few times in the CA central valley. Got an '88.5 Turbo II after that, I miss that one.

The first commercially produced turbocharged car was a...GM, 1962 F-85 Cutlass with a "Jet-Fire" engine (turbocharged). It needed a methanol water mix injected to control knock on the fuels available at the time.

A Brief History Of Turbochargers In Cars

With the number of turbocharged vehicles on the road these days, it's hard to believe that turbos were almost unheard of 50 years ago. Here's a boosted history lesson on forced induction

The second was for an IH Scout. My personal favorites were the BMW2002 Turbo and the Saab 99 Turbo, both of which were zippy fun to drive cars.

Speaking of dialects...I went into Walmart to buy some Rid for our septic tank. I couldn't find it, so I asked the clerk: "Where can I find the Rid"? She says, "Is the name of it "Rid", or is it the color "Rid"?

I said "R-i-d...Rid. Where are you from, Alabama? She bowed here head and sheepishly said "Yes". We both had a good laugh.

“It was discovered an exhaust wheel within a turbo housing of the tractor became dislodged and ejected from its manifold,” according to the report. “The exhaust wheel then ejected from the metal covering of the tractor, before a piece of the wheel struck the victim.”

When you watch a show or are involved with hotrodded engines you have to assume some liability for mishaps. Sounds to me like another journalist with no first hand knowledge of the subject.
All of the "enhanced" or "hot stock" classes that I'm aware of require two bolts to be placed in the exhaust pipe at 90 degrees to each other to reduce the possibility of shrapnel flying out.
Seeing how most tractor pulling is on small low budget tracks we don't need more misinformed rules and regulations.
