How much for just the front half? It would make a great RollsCamino.

I remember a Wall Street Journal piece from the early 90's about the certification requirements for specialized lifeboats used by some such organization somewhere in the UK (my vague recollection was that they performed rescues in the North Sea, but can’t swear to it). In particular, they would drop prospective new…

GT40's !!

They are amazing. True heroes. And not just because they saved my stupid teenage arse off Tintagel many years ago.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution would have been a fitting title for an album by The Kinks circa 1968.

Also, here’s a pic of me standing on one of these causeways (this road, which bridges the Cornwall mainland with the tidal island of St Michael’s Mount, was underwater two hours after this pic).

Yikes. National, not Navy. Fixed. Thank you.

Misguided fools. This is how you do it properly:

Car should look like this.

I’m Your Huckleberry...

Unfortunately this one didn’t happen to me. And it doesn’t quite fit the usual definition of “road rage” but there was rage and it was on the road. But it happened to my wife, and it went like this:

I’d say at worst all you probably did was help them realize something they were going to eventually figure out on their own.

I was driving my ‘06 Jetta TDI down the road one summer morning on my way to work. It was probably 6:15am and I come up to this newer Pontiac GTO driving 15mph below the 55mph speed limit. Since we are the only cars on the road, I wait until the double yellow stops and I pull out to pass it. Immediately it speeds…

This is more along the lines of “off the road rage”, but I think it follows the gist of what you’re asking for. First, a little background on my favorite ride. It’s a 1989 Chevrolet Suburban Scottsdale V1500 “heavy half” 4x4. It’s rusted in the fenders, paint peeling everywhere, and got “character” dents all over it.…

Oh boy I’ve got a good one.

I was coming home with my family (wife and son) from a celebration dinner, a half hour north. We were traveling the highway (5 lanes) because it was past the little ones bedtime. I was moving at a quicker pace, but nothing too dramatic (72ish in a 65). The traffic was there, but nothing too substantial so I was in the…

I knew after I bought my car that I wanted to get a dashcam, but this incident was the straw that finally made me buy one.

Closest call I ever had was when some guy in a Prius came ripping up the right lane while both lanes were full of dense traffic. He obviously determined I wasn’t going to gap and let him in so he slid in behind me, literally as close as he could. The guy looked like what I imagine Larry David would look like if he…
