It’s one thing to look fast — in fact, it’s a pretty easy thing to do, with some lowering springs, a wing, some new wheels, and a loud exhaust accomplishing the task handily. But actually going fast? Well, that’s a different thing entirely. Now, here’s the real kicker — looking slow while going fast. You know what we’re talking about.

I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
