WHY DID YOU TURN OVER?
WHY DID YOU TURN OVER?
Just today walking back from lunch with two other guys...Guy #1 says "I wish there was an app that could give you a walking route from one point to another in town that would favor shady sidewalks so you could avoid this heat." Guy #2 says "Or you could just look up from your phone to see where you're going, and walk…
20+ years ago my brother moved from Knoxville, TN to Idaho Falls; my dad and I went out and brought his stuff part of the way (Arkansas) in a Penske rental, then a moving company picked up the rest of his stuff from there and carried it on to Idaho. We had his '84 Toyota pickup on a trailer behind the rental truck,…
It's only a matter of time before this happens here.
Depends on your age, and your definition of "rock star" I suppose.
So she has a wreck, maybe suffers some head trauma, she's screaming, the kids are screaming...I scream, you scream, we all scream for...oh yeah, ice cream! There's a CVS, that'll stop this screaming up in here! Still doesn't explain the stripping part though.
Someday, probably when I'm retired and can hopefully afford it and have the time, I'd like to do a European delivery option on a BMW or Volvo (or whatever make still offers this and strikes my fancy at the time), and spend a couple of weeks driving my new car around Europe before having it shipped back to the States. …
This could have been so easily avoided.
"...and after the hours I spent holding up her poster with one hand!'
"...automated safety systems might diminish critical thinking or the need for education."

When I was in high school we had a Caprice that had those awful fake wire-spoke hubcaps on it (late '70s), that were quite heavy and extended out beyond the wheel. I can't remember how many times I'd be on a date or cruising around and hear a metallic noise, only to look in the rear view mirror and see my right-side…
So what have we learned here today? I think it's if you expect to see a video with some type of carnage involved on Jalopnik, the headline is going to begin with "This is why you don't..." whatever.
I've had the same thought about my 19-year-old daughter who wants to trade her '03 FWD Accord for a newer, RWD convertible. I'm less concerned about the convertible part than the RWD part, simply because she has no experience driving a RWD car, and I'm sure she'd spin it on a wet road, and/or hydroplane it at speed…
The two funny names that always come to my mind are Peter O'Toole and Dick Van Dyke (aka Penis Van Lesbian), but as far as I know neither of them were race car drivers. Unless Chitty Chitty Bang Bang counts for Van Dyke; though I can't find a picture of O'Toole in any type of car, let alone a race car.
The driver's survival was attributed to shear luck.
With a little work it could be a coupe now. Or a Cadimino for that matter.
And per Carfax it's a 2008.
If you're going to watch the video while humming "Pop goes the weasel" in your head, you'll want to time that "Pop" to hit at the :54 mark.
And now it's raining.
