Can internal combustion engines ever legitimately be considered toys?
Can internal-combustion-engine-powered vehicles (e.g., snowmobiles, ATV's, motorboats, jetskis, etc.) ever legitimately be considered toys? Or should such devices be considered (at best) necessary evils?
Also, please state religious affiliation or lack thereof.
I guess that depends on how old you are and how much money you have.
You've heard the old saying-
-"the only difference in a man and a boy is the price of his toy".

KZOZ Motor Boat Drag Races Shane From Grover Beach
Are old muscle cars supposed to sound like that?
Every time I see an old Charger or Challenger or Mustang, etc, the (presumably souped-up) engines always sound like sputtering motorboats. They seem barely able to idle without stalling and if I happen upon a guy just starting it up he immediately starts revving it to keep it going. Now mind, this is the result of MANY years of observation, not just some guy I saw once. I always assumed these cars have been hot-rodded and modified and that's the cause but why do they so often sound like out-of-tune motorcycles afterward?
These engines are not designed to idle smoothly they are designed to have huge amounts of power at a much higher rpm. The rough idle is because the lift and duration of the camshaft have been altered to give peek horsepower at higher rpms. the high compression pistons in combination with more fuel and the valves being open longer causes these engines to essentially run like crap at an idle. but I think it sounds really cool.

Motor boats monthly guess Milford best keep it's coastguard!!
What did you find interesting? Why? Was anything not convincing? Confusing? Which was your favorite nerdy economist?
I found that it was interesting how the people on the island used such massive stones as their currency, because it is nearly impossible to transport, and quite funny how the stone under the sea was still worth the same as the ones on the land. It makes sense, however because the stones were a pain to acquire, since the boats had to travel 250 miles to another island to obtain it, and they weren't motor boats, so the value of the stones were quite justified. It was not convincing for me how the situation in Brazil was portrayed, how the government actually tricked everyone to believe that they had money and all.. that part I find confusing. It was also surprising how a pair of sunglasses that costs $10 could go up to $18 in a month, which is a major 80% increase! I would migrate out of Brazil before a plane ticket quadruples in price real fast if I was living there at that time. The nerdy economist with the really awkward laugh was my favorite.
He doesn't have money, but he can still make you happy.
