If that cat had nine lives, she just spent 'em all...

Exactly. Its about how you play the game. To me, they're a niche product, but it works if it fits and you understand the risks. It never fit for me, but if you need a car quickly and budget is tight it might just work.

I see where GAP insurance was mentioned in a previous post and would add to that if you trade a vehicle with any sort of negative equity greater than the cost of the policy ($500-1000) its well worth it. Especially if you're purchasing a first year model that doesn't have several years to see what the values will do.

I was in a similar situation in Birmingham, AL a few years ago with my vehicle being surrounded by bikes with some of them blocking/slowing existing traffic to let the pack pass. My vehicle at the time was an E-150 Ford Van carrying an extra 1500lbs of tools and gear on it. I usually keep an eye on the rear view and…

This race will be like The Rolling Stones playing a dive bar in a small town. Its a small close venue, probably the closest you can get to these guys at work, and its a rare occurrence. That being said, locals won't be able to mix it up with the big boys the way it happens on many dirt tracks around the country. I…

One of my best friends and I always have a friendly rivalry when it comes to driving skill, which manifested itself at an indoor track several years ago. I had a few margaritas in me to the point where I was basically fearless, but not quite bombed. He then suggested we go kart racing and take a mutual friend. I…

Not all valets are minimum wage losers. I worked for one place (nameless for the obvious reasons) making $11/hr ten years ago while getting my Computer Science degree. Basically, its the ultimate hoon job if done correctly since you end up getting paid to drive cars you ordinarily wouldn't even get within sniffing…

Honestly, I think the changes were subtle and tastefully done and I'm sure the owner gets a huge laugh out of it when people do a double take. The only modification I saw fit to my '91 Acclaim was to tint the windows to hide my shame.

Can I just have my floor mounted high-beam switch back? Seriously, just a little above the dead pedal so I can keep both hands on the wheel in a wet corner on a dark country road.

Walt Disney FTW!! Seriously, no comments about THIS at Disney World?!?!

They call that "chicken whiskey" across the line in Alabama. The parking lot exit at the Tyson plant in Gadsden, AL made the trucks go sharply uphill upon leaving, thus spilling said substance on the tarmac. The smell alone carries about 5 miles away

Hogan FTW!!!! MLP sucked because you couldn't pull the skirt up like a Barbie Doll.

Mercury Mystaque

nobody mentioned the "caravan holiday" episode? My WIFE who could care less about cars is addicted to the show because of that episode. Bladder control fails when the tent next door catches fire.

that sort of thing really does happen here...

GA400's making of this list must have a lot to do with time of day and certain parts of it as well. between exits 5 and 11 during the day, its not very fast, just crazy. At night, the extreme lower (between exit 5 and I-85) portion becomes Midnite Club Racing, especially southbound. Going that direction, you pay…

How long until the Mustang II is considered "vintage" and gets remade as the mainline model. The notchback vinyl roof will rise again FTW!!!

This might work....If the air suspension still works, it would hold a full load of milwaukee's beast and my stable of skanks. It only needs a sliding rear window, and horns that play "Dixie".

Kudos on making something fun to do in the ATL metro. I spent 3 years for college in Alpharetta and surprised I didn't land in jail. Our favorite pastime was mudding where land had been cleared for a new restaurant, late at night of course. Our other spot was behind the theater in Cumming, which we got chased down…

Dang, we hang pictures like that in the field to scare crows off.
