My dentist broke his neck (quite literally) when a squirrel decided to jump into the spokes of his front wheel causing the whole bike to flip and launching him head first towards the pavement. This was on a bicycle, on a motorcycle there should be more than enough mass and momentum to ginsu the furry freak.

Rear's are 46 inch, front is only 30 inch on a A320. They aren't mud and snow rated, but they do have a speed rating of 225 mph!

It's the law in most states that if you are travelling below the minimum highway speed then your hazard lights should be on.

Snow tires for the win! Sorry about the Camry though ...

And we really had just hit another car. The speed was low, but the crunch was very real and instead of stopping, the bloke kept talking about is bloody girlfriend.

Going to the race track in NJ and getting gas is weird. The attendant has to fill your gas cans for you but once you have your gas cans you are allowed to fill up the car yourself. Oh, and your gas cans better be red, because if they are yellow or clear they might not fill them.

True. I've had friends that have been pulled over doing 1 or 2 mph over the limit. If they want to stop you they will find an excuse.

Mostly pulling your leg. People here drive crazy, and the roads are crazy - I fit right in.

70 is excessive, I keep it to 65 on Memorial for the divided stretch. Canadian speed limits tend to be excessively low everywhere from what I've experienced, and their penalties are severe and kick in at a mere 6 mph over the limit (10 kph).

First, what's a pushrod?

Buy a cheap-ass car, put a decent set of tires and brake pads on it and head out to a HPDE competition oriented racing school. COMSCC (NorthEast), NASA etc. When you have a little bit of experience from them you are ready for Chump or LeMons and can step up to these kind of events by taking a full competition school

Sounds like an old steam engine when you do that. Ha!

New billboard add in India:
"The Datsun Go: Solving India overpopulation one horrific fatal car crash at a time".
Probably not going to go over well.

It's a Ferrari, I'm surprised there isn't a fire extinguisher inside the car.

Hmm, I don't think so, probably the reverse. That auto pilot car was no where near the limit of traction in the corners. It did well but has to be dialed up several notches to be competitive. It's inevitable that this will eventually happen when the navigation computer is fully integrated with the entire vehicle

I've had one of these moments. Old man was pulling out of side street without looking, big truck coming the other way in the other lane. Managed to swerve between the both of them with maybe an inch to spare. My passenger was so impressed that we didn't die that he bought me lunch. Auto-X skills FTW!

Paddle? It's a bat mate.

Skills yes, and huge huge cojones.
