Bookmark this Washington Post story for the next time you’re sitting on the couch, panting in front of the fan and wondering if you’ll make it until fall.

If Europe is on your vacation radar this summer, USA Today has some good news…and some not-so-good news.

You see someone speeding, or throwing their trash out the car window—what do you do?

What do you do when life hands you lemons? Race them, says the San Francisco Chronicle, in a cool profile about an under-the-radar sporting event: the LeMons Racing Circuit. To qualify, racers must convince a panel of judges that they didn’t pay more than $500 for their cars. To win, a car must make a certain number of laps in the allotted time, which can range from “14 hours to 24.” VIDEO
