Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we’ll provide the jams.
Stop lights and stop signs are normally considered the bane of all car-loving existence. But clearly we need them. The alternative is terrifying, fraught with chaos and also possibly wanton destruction. As the annoying guy shooting the video says, “this is what happens when you let humanity use judgement.”
The infamous Swedish Moose Test can make or break sales in certain parts of the world. It aims to re-create what could happen if a moose suddenly appeared in your path, and you needed to make an emergency maneuver.

I just got back from the Lucas Oil School of Racing’s two-day basic course at Lime Rock Park. While I have transformed into a driving god (I think), I am exhausted, banged-up, and broken. These are the bruises incurred, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
