Not sure what the case is here, but I've seen that a lot of museums or other types of exhibits will take in people's cars for display over the winter, kind of a win-win deal in exchange for free or cheap winter storage for the car's owner. Since they delivered the car this past November, wouldn't surprise me if that…

That is definitely a nightmare scenario, and one I've always had in the back of my mind anytime I put a prized car into winter storage. I have not experienced what they have, but I understand and respect their pain!

Exactly. Presumably either a good Photoshop job or a real-life joke shift knob. I'd love to put this on my car's shifter!

Mmmm...granular gears. Makes me wish I had Photoshop so I could make a nice Granular Gears cereal box. Granular Gears, now with a chocolatey-coated 6th-gear in every bite.

I'm trying to figure this out as well. I just did a reverse-image search which also turned up nothing. Only thing I found was some guy claiming that it is out of some Cold War-era MIRV launch vehicle, I can't help but assume that he's joking.

I like the resident plow vehicle for a local European car shop, dubbed "The Plaudi".

Back when I was going to work in the very early morning, I had a Jaguar X-Type with bright blue HIDs swerving around on my ass every single morning. From what I figured out, the kid simply couldn't get out of bed early enough to get to his 5AM work shift without driving like a complete and total asshole!

A snow plow operator being an asshole? Unheard of!

Darn, how could I forget Prius drivers! They are often the worst of them all, plus being extremely erratic. If you're behind them, they are doing fifteen under the speed limit. But if you pass them, suddenly they are tailgating you despite the fact that you're doing eighty.

Damn, that's something new that came about since I last read it! Although I shouldn't be surprised due to the strict checkpoints that have been in place since the disaster.

That is interesting, I have never heard such rumors. I also posted an old website which was a woman traveling on her own on a motorcycle, exploring the city. No reports of thugs or thieves, unless times have changed since then. But since it's not smart to stay in the Exclusion Zone for more than a day and there are…

If I had the ability to travel there, I honestly would love to! Just like this woman did, being able to see the deserted city and all of its surreal nature.

Me too! That was actually around the same time I was reading it as well. I had forgotten about it for quite a while until this episode of Top Gear reminded me to check if it was still online!

Excellent episode! While still a dangerous place to be, they dramatized the Chernobyl visit a little bit. Being in the town itself isn't quite that dangerous, so long as you stay out of certain buildings and away from the reactor.

Although a dangerous place to be, by all means, I think they dramatized it a little more for the show. There are even tourist services to take tours of the deserted town - so long as you stay away from the reactor and stay outside of the nearby buildings, it's not entirely a death trap.

My road "Avoid At All Costs" list is as follows:
Toyota RAV-4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Traverse / GMC Acadia, Tahoe / Yukon / Suburban, any minivan with a dent in one corner of the rear bumper (almost all of them) and any Toyota Corolla, Camry or '90s Buick in gold or beige.

The GMC Acadia: Found driving passive-aggressively and ineptly on a road near you!

We all make mistakes from time to time - that's the reason I am more than happy to admit that I was wrong, and also the reason that I withhold judgmental remarks when others make similar mistakes.

To quote my response to the other guy:
