  1. Links to news stories from...

  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Oh good, the Olympics meets WRC Group B. Lots of dead athletes but it'd be entertaining at least

I mean all the good athletes are already doping, but the more untested a substance is, the better it is for avoiding anti-doping, but it's going to have completely unknown side effects. Without doping testing the athletes can atleast use stuff with known safety profile.

To be fair, Group B gave us some of the sexiest cars ever created. My all time dream car is the 037 with that Martini livery. I'd even settle for a kit.

This proposed competition and its monster participants will definitely not feature such pretty sights (or sounds) as, say, a Group B Quattro flying down a dirt road... Growling... turbo hissing 🤤

I'd still watch it of course.
