Is it worse than being mauled to death by a grizzly? Asking for a friend.

I mean, being hit at 240MPH until you either lose consciousness or die from trauma has got to be on par with getting dragged and tossed like a rag doll by an angry giant, but fuzzy shredder.

I see your point. Both are pretty hardcore.

Well, yeah. Falcons are carnivorous. You have nothing to fear.

TIL (well actually yesterday) that old forums that I used to belong to before they went “pay only” still have me listed as a member. So, their web bots still send me “Happy Birthday Wishes” every year. I used to belong to/was active in a lot of car and motorcycle forums…

Over here, try explaining to non-car people what an FRS is. "It's a car with 3 names, and no, it's not all wheel drive even though it is mostly a Subaru." Then, try to explain HPDE. When my wife politely asks what I'm doing in the garage, I say I'm doing blah blah blah to "the black car". She let's me finish, and then goes back to her Hallmark movie.

Do what I do. I don't talk to people.

And "I'm busy" usually works with the wife after a time or too. She really doesn't want to know.....
