An estimated 43% of accidents happen in intersection, I don't see a reason to make these more dangerous e than they already are by increasing the speed at the moment of impact. Freeways with no cross traffic are another story.

One of my favorite things about an old stem engine is it will run on anything that you can toss in the furnace and get to burn. Your fuel choices are almost endless.

I don't think blasting through intersections is a good idea, but there are stretches of freeway I've been on where opening up throttle doesn't seem to be a threat to anyone. Crossing Nevada at 100 mph doesn't seem crazy as long as you slow down for those rare inhabited areas.

Back in the days of two stroke 500cc GP bikes. those things were a handful. I saw them run at Laguna Seca back in 87 if my memory is correct. Lawson crashed out in a practice run because a mechanic forgot the retainer pins for the front brake pads. I remember sitting at the hairpin watching the bikes come down the…

I remember driving a 210 when it was only a few years old, and it was one of the most underpowered cars I have ever driven, and I usually like small underpowered cars. To give this car a track paint scheme, and not add any power upgrades would make this thing embarrassing to drive outside of a 24 hours of lemons race.…

At least it has a for sale sign in the window. My guess is the owner values the car to high, no one buys it so it rots in the field. I've seen this many times. I know a guy that has a Rambler 220 that he bought new sitting in front of his house. He hasn't driving it in years because a family member gave him a modern…

Looks like right around 1987 Detroit was like an 18 year old who had been given a no limit credit card with no explanation that it's not a magic card, and you have to pay all that money back. I've seen this happen on a smaller scale more than once.

I'm happy to see that hamsters aren't being left out of the driving equation.

As much as as I've always loved the Sonnet, I'd probably go for the Karmann Ghia. As the years go by the styling of the Karmann just seems to get better and better. To tell you the truth I'd like to one of each as I'm a sucker for small, light, underpowered cars of this vintage, but if I had to choose only one It's be…

Is that all it take to get you out of the driver's seat? You must not have had to sit through the highway patrol gore-fest films in drivers' ed.

My first driving lesson was in my father's Cobra II. As a 16 year old I liked the car.

My guess is it was a French car. She put it in drive and rather than going forward it gave up and rolled over.

Back when I was kid ( a rather long time ago) my father drove a Volvo 544, followed by an Amazon wagon, he talked of getting a P1800, but being a family man with 4 kids even the P1800 ES wouldn't work. I still love the lines of those old Volvos. For some odd reason when the 140 came out that box on a box on wheels…

Texas is a place where businesses are allowed to run unregulated, but an unauthorized playboy advert is where they are going to draw the line?
