One of the reasons for those speeding rules is the remarkable frequency of roos colliding with vehicles. I’m Canadian and grew up on the east coast, so I get wildlife collisions.

Back in the day, I took a two-page photo of a Ferrari 250 GT SWB out of Car and Driver magazine. Then I had a poster of all the Ferrari F1 cars. But I’ve changed since then. I reckon it would be this instead:

YUGO. Rented one (yes, someone thought Yugos would be a good rental car) wayyyyy back in the day when I was poor as shit. The rental company had them at $9.95 per day, so partner and I thought it would be worth it for a day of Christmas shopping. The two things I remember most vividly about the car were the inside…

US Scheduled airline death rates per 100,000 miles: less than. 0.001

Not a 1978 Chevette. Don’t ask me how I know. 

They flew you to Spain and didn’t let you drive the car? Oy. 

Easy one. Dodge 600ES sedan. My dad was almost entirely a GM guy. The cars I remember from childhood: mid60s Dodge Coronet wagon, 71 Chevelle Wagon, 78 Le Mans wagon, 81 Monte Carlo... and then the Dodge. The Monte Carlo was totalled, and for some reason my dad chose this car.

200 gram shifter? Naw, too heavy for me. They could have saved 50 grams! /s

Villeneuve and Arnoux at Dijon (not Darmok and Jelad at Tenagra), 1979. I was already a 13-year-old superfan of Gilles, and if this wouldn’t seal the deal I don’t know what would.

Until today, I’d never seen a Cadillac that I was attracted to in the slightest. And I still haven’t. ND. 

Dixon has got to go down in the histories of motor racing. Six championships in Indycar, 20 years of victories, 3 Daytona overall victories, a Le Mans podium... 

When I was young and poor in the late 1980s, we had no car. I was living in Halifax, Nova Scotia, with my partner, and we had a bunch of Christmas shopping to do to get gifts in the mail to family. A car rental agency had YUGOs for rent for $10/day, unlimited mileage. For that, we were gonna save money compared to…

The “new-kew-lar” pronunciation dates to 1943, according to the OED. Dubya undoubtedly used it to seem folksy, but it isn’t his. 

Keean Bexte might be an “independent journalist” in the sense of being unemployable by any legimitate journalistic organization, but he is far from a trustworthy source.

WE WERE TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. 

I CALL HOAX: This is from the pilot of the new CHiPs reboot. 

Ship it to Edinburgh and give it to John Rebus. 

We were in Italy in 2010; friend we were travelling with saw the 500 and within weeks of them going on sale in Canada he was in one. 

OH, THOSE GD CONTROL STALKS!
