But now put 400 of them in hard acceleration, hard stop and go traffic in the fog on the 405 freeway. From four car lengths back with your vision partially obscured by other cars in line, are both red lights flashing on both sides or only one? Are they stopping, slamming on the brakes, riding the brakes, or about to…

I’m impressed there are no Land Rovers on here.

“The ten least durable cars ever made”, featuring one of the most durable cars ever made.

Sounds like the owner of the $2000 BMW got what they paid for.

There’s some benefits to being able to enter the car from either driver or passenger side, especially in tight parking spots.

Because this is an active investigation, the records of the original testimony bear careful re-reading. Also, for those not old enough to remember, in the early 1970's, many mysterious deaths in the South were a result of ‘you’re not from around here, I can take advantage of you, and then disappear you, and no one…

I had a bank account as a child. Pretty empty, but I had one. Certainly not unheard of.

Unless...

I sold mine to my friend in another state
He sold it to a guy who lived in my town, who then was T-boned by a Jeep.
=(
RIP - 2000 Civic with tasteful mods, you are missed

Yeah, as skeffles said, it’s a testament to the fact that sometimes police get a bug up their butts about something and get fixated on one suspect for vague reasons. And you’ll often see that person and sometimes the person’s family/friends flail around doing dumb stuff out of fear of arrest and even confess to things…

“Your Car Is Not A Submarine” week.

The NC and ND aren’t too bad, but it’s definitely a tighter fit.

So I guess this “missing car fished out of a river after decades” day on Jalopnik.

There are secret places of old cars. The high desert covers a TON of area. You can find some great older cars as far north as Canada in climates that don’t get a lot of moisture.

Elegant smellagant, did the car run right afterward?

Shortly before then, around 1970 the practice of mailing unsolicited credit cards to anyone a bank considered a low risk was outlawed. I’m not sure if a 16 year old would have a bank account, but that might be how he picked up his first card. (22 at time of death in 76.) Since that law was introduced because even…

Kill is Dutch for stream/creek. Up in NY you see a lot of Catskills, fishkills etc. In this instance I believe its named after a Cherokee Chief.

No, I don’t think that. It is named after a Cherokee chief.

Are you mad at people long dead for maintaining a river name that is apparently a reference to the Cherokee chief that controlled the area?

A lot of waterbodies can have a couple of feet of silt at the bottom. It doesn’t take long for it a hit the bottom raise the silt and get covered with a layer of it. The other issue is that when a lot of these accidents happened several hours (or days) pass before anyone knows they are missing.   Plenty of time for a…
