I had a horn incident occur in my early 90s Cherokee. Disclaimer up front that I was 16 and I understand I was involved in irresponsible driving behavior. Myself and 3 friends were hotboxing the Jeep in a quiet culdesac we used frequently and when we were done I started the car and turned the wheel to leave the…

ABC News added that “it wasn’t clear” how much oil had spilled from the tank.

Yeah this is a nothingburger. This is why tanks have big-ass berms around them. These facilities are designed to hold even if multiple tanks get hit by a tornado.

It was released into a containment dyke area around the tank, or as some might refer to it as the “secondary containment.” Knowing that, the remediation should be fairly easy. The road was probably closed as a precaution downwind.

Sold my Elise to get a ND Miata because... Well, I’m getting old and the Miata is far more practical and allows for easier entry and egress.

I didn’t drive a Miata until three years ago when we were out in Monterey for car week. After six days and over 600 miles in a rented Miata - all of them with the top down - I decided I needed one of these. The southern end of Carmel Valley Road is a narrow, twisted strip of asphalt that winds through the golden…

This is a pretty shitty list. No love for the last gas powered V’s (or the V2 wagon), what may be the last gas powered Giulia (and the QV), any Audi RS models, but a Yaris makes it? If future gearheads are clamoring for a Yaris, I’ll eat my hat.

In retrospect, he obviously should have poured a little quickset along both edges of the speed bump to smooth it out.

You missed an important one: “The vast majority of abortions—aka murder of in utero humans—are based on convenience and nothing else.”

May or may not get read, since I’m late to the party. I think everyone has different driving habits and different ideas about what makes drivers ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ There’s some dissonance between those who think the law is their justification vs those who think their skill works the same way.

A lot of that comes down to the laws and the enforcement. Even in places where there are laws against staying in the left lane and passing on the right, they are rarely enforced. There are also minimum speed requirements for the interstate that never get enforced. A lot of the bad driving habits of the US would be at…

I only drove in Germany for a little while, being on temporary duty there in the 90s for about a month, but I came away with a respect for the German way of driving, and a nagging question of “why can it not be done that way in the USA?”.

People who think that it’s a competition. My family takes a lot of road trips in the summer. During these road trips, I almost always set my cruise control. I often come across people who for whatever reason don’t like to be passed. Many times during a drive I will begin closing in on someone who is going slower than…

The persistent underinvestment in, and hence poor condition of our roads.

I spent a good part of my life living in Germany and what always amazes me is how bad Americans are at driving.

License requirements are laughably remedial which leads to an aggressively ignorant population, add a dollop of obliviousness and relying on the car’s computer to get the driver out of hairy situations, and then the cherry on top of the shit sundae is a lack of respect for anyone else that has to exist in the same…

Now don’t get me wrong there’s nothing more fun than a stoplight drag race but intersections cause so much unnecessary congestion compared to roundabouts. Also purposefully hidden and deceptive speed traps. They aren’t there to keep you safe, they’re there to make money.

All that would be more plausible if the exact same dipshits gave a damn about that life at any point after it was born.
