Don't gridlock. If you're in the city and the traffic is heavy, don't cross the intersection unless you're sure you can leave it clear behind you. If the jerk behind you stands on his horn, ignore him. He'll just follow you and make matters even worse for cross traffic.

This is one thing the Germans are absolutely right about. You can blow past a cop on the autobahn doing 190 with your hair on fire. Do it on the right and it's a big fine and/or suspended license.

If you get rear ended on the highway, pull over to the shoulder. Don't stop and exchange information on the freeway and make everyone late for work or dinner. I've seen this several times and it's never anything less than infuriating. Makes you wish you could sue people for lost time.

My friend Dan and I are from Chicago. His roommate, Jason is also a Chicagoan. We'd known each other a few years and partied on the weekends. One of our friends, Jen, needed a lift back to campus and I volunteered as an excuse to drive Dan's Honda Del Sol. It had rained that afternoon - heavier than I thought -…

I had one of these back in the day.

Because damaged aircraft are repaired on site by a team of engineers and mechanics who fly around the world. Parts can't always be shipped by plane or boat and then transported across land to the aircraft. Also, an aircraft that's sitting on the tarmac isn't making money for the airline. It's more likely costing…

Crazy People. I wish I could star this twice.

Damn. You NASTY!

The public education system is aimed squarely at the bell curve. If your kid is particularly gifted or tragically challenged, you'd better live in an municipality with well funded schools or your they're getting left behind. Or sold short.

I'd rock that FF Sportwagen. I'm too damn old for the welded doors on the Rebele.

Identifying materials? You mean like the VIN? All this guy did was make it even easier than it already was for the RCMP to find the owner. What? You don't think the RCMP would look up his Facebook profile after getting his name? Law enforcement LOVES Facebook and all the criminal confessions therein. People are…

The layout allowed for better handling than the FWD car while giving room for a usable trunk, unlike the mid-engine car. The longitudinal engine could be placed front-mid, for close to 50/50 weight distribution. There's all kinds of good reasons for why the FR Miata one.

A lot of these systems are electronic adding little to the car's weight and much to the car's usability. I have a 91 and cannot be happier with bluetooth audio streaming from my smartphone. I get everything - Pandora, XM streaming, Google Music, Waze navigation - all through my stereo with no added gadgetry.

God help me, I actually LIKE the top one. It is so ridiculously over-the-top donkified that it makes me smile. It's stupid and useless, but epic in both - and I respect the work someone put in to make that - even if it makes me laugh. That is a well executed stoopid fresh whip.

There's a lot that's right on there. It took some time for the NC fender flares to grow on me. Perhaps the same will happen here with that fish face. I'm definitely looking forward to the aftermarket response.

Turbos can be tricky. I never had a place to wrench on my own car, so I bought the Hydra kit from Flyin Miata for mine.. It took a little while to work out the bugs, but I now have a turnkey car. I drive it every chance I get.

She's a mental case, but you made your point. Abagnale and Hartman are not congruent in any way.

Michael, when is this going to become a reality? http://jalopnik.com/5891398/man-wa…

Nope. I've seen better setups with a Lexus engine. Andris Laivins built this one and he's a guy who knows what he's doing. Even with Matt Farah touting it how awesome it is, I still don't want it and I've been a Miata nut for well over 20 years.
