@Albedo12 HIgh performance stock cars are called boullion cars. #tmh

@Kouban There’s also Stack Cars, which have lego-like protrusions on the top. #tmh

@thisisfalacci Then there’s Stick Cars, a variation on pick-up sticks #tmh

@JPLC And also Stahck Cars, the cheap imitations that never fit together well with other Stack Cars. #tmh

@Kouban In a heavy snow, there are an amazing number of Stuck Cars. #tmh
