Slamming on your brakes and praying to god your car stops...true story! I watched a friend once slam on the brakes, close his eyes and pray to god that the car stopped. We slid into the ditch and I was able to say " God hates you, go buy snowtires you idiot"

Webbers on Hwy 11 going up to Muskoka. There is a walkway over the highway so you can stop both ways, the hamburgers are great (same with the fries and milkshakes) it is a cottage staple, you run into everyone there and it kicks off every weekend the right way...plus I've been going there since I was born! If you are…

The Mazda 3 (323 and Protege) The 80's 323's were hilariously bad, the 90's got better, then the Protege came around and it was almost as good as a Civic and then the first gen Mazda3 came in 2004 and it was a great car...now the new ones are filled with luxury, spacious and world leading cars. I would be oh so happy…

The cigarette lighter dying. I am a non smoker but I still love having this thing in my car, because if I ever need to light something I know my car will always be able to do it.

This is more of a funny cab story then a horror story.

In Ontario the snowplows have little trailers that come out and make the trucks able to plow both lanes. Pretty friggin cool! http://ca.autoblog.com/2013/02/16/sup…

1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo

Skip to 11:55 of the video and a bus (TTC buses don't have snow tires) tries to pass the cars stuck on the hill northbound and blocks the southbound lanes.

I hope this doesn't lead to an unintended acceleration lawsuit being filed.

The LoCost...I helped a buddy build one a decade ago and it was all in about $3000. It helped he picked up a wrecked Miata for $800!

The winter beater...makes sure pot holes, frost heaves, bad drivers and salt stay away from your nice summertime car!

I am most thankful for the BMW M3...it looks good, performs great, is comfortable and women seem to like it. If you can't afford a new one, it ages well and a 10 year old example can still be a great car (as long as you find one who has had a loving owner) and will cost you about the same as a 2-3 year old Civic

Make it a road trip with friends! I went to school 8 hours from home, the solo trips were the worst...but pack 3 friends in the car and you have yourself an adventure. Like the time I stopped at the "charity" casino and gambled all our gas money winning $900 5 days before christmas...or when the fuel pump died in the…

Done after the 2013 model year! http://wot.motortrend.com/official-acura…

Acura ZDX...or any other SUV "coupe"

Mazda 323 GTX or the GTr version (but call it a GTX) I can see it now, a 1.6L turbo'd Mazda 2 with awd, it would be perfect.

Getting wasted. I am one for a few pre flight cocktails to loosen me up, as being 6'4 fitting myself into a seat is a task among itself. But there is that tipping point, usually between 1-2 beers on the ground that ends up feeling like 3-6 beers up in the air...so the people who slam back the drinks on the ground and…

Boarding a plane sick/with a cold. I am not a germ-a-phobe nor one of those extra clean people, but anytime I hop a flight and see someone with a cough or sniffles I want to punch them in the face. No matter where I sit on the plane the chance of me coming into contact with your germs is inevitable...and I'm probably…

Land Rover Freelander...it couldn't free any land other than a mall parking lot. Might as well bought a Ford Escape...another poor name choice as most Escapes are driven in bumper to bumper traffic!

Yup it is, Gentry Lane...a little west of the Bentley dealer
