I think they played a crucial role in changing the dynamics of the wind resistance by creating added down force on the windshield, which helped the rear wheels regain traction.

Arkansas has a "speeder impeder" law that basically says if you are blocking the left lane of an Interstate and there are people lining up behind you, even if they are breaking the speed limit in doing so, you have to pull over to let them by. It doesn't help at all, and I've never seen anyone pulled over for it. …
Neidermeyer?
The Jeep Patriot is boxy enough to start with; remembered seeing this one on jeeppatriot.com and thought it was nicely rendered.
Road rage in the animal kingdom. Clearly the monkey's fault though for cutting the bear off and causing the accident; the bear just handled the situation poorly.
I can understand why people's faces might be blurred out in this, but why are the Corvette's brake calipers being blurred out in the early portion of this video? If any corporate name should be blurred out, it would be the RWL tires on that lifted Escort.
My thoughts too. I think if I'd been this guy I'd have claimed "unintended acceleration" instead and tried to save face.
Clearly she was high.
The Riviera name has about zero meaning to younger folks in America. That's why Buick introduced the car in China. In China, Buick is a heritage brand. Powerful government officials rode in Buicks. Upper class members drove Buicks.
Cord 810 shifter, anyone? I just read an article about this car in Automobile magazine; apparently in addition to being FWD (which I knew), they also had a pre-selector transmission, where you gently move the lever pictured here into the gear you want to go into next, THEN you step on the clutch, wait a bit until you…
Those aren't really that difficult when you understand you don't have to work your way through all the gears from 1-L to 4-H; you can just pick the one you need and start there for the most part. Tractors, especially if you're pulling something that's running off the PTO, are usually run at a set/optimum RPM, and…
Kicked the bucket, as it were.
Keep in mind too that you not only have to survive being knocked around, but there's the huge amount of debris/shrapnel being flung around as well. You don't have to Google very deeply (try "tornado impaled") to find pictures of bizarre things tornadoes have somewhat randomly inserted into other things. My luck…
I had a 2000 Impala that I actually really liked and drove for 8 years, but I always thought it would have been more appropriately called a Bel Air than an Impala.
Police say six other cars in Eldorado was states were broken — — on the same morning February 26. They — jeeps there — Mazda is I think one was BMW. And the victims — we talked to them told us they were positive that — the cargo doors.
A couple of years ago I got ready to replace my factory radio in my Jeep with something that gave me HD radio and Bluetooth so I could hands-free my phone (and connect my iPod through a USB connection instead of the headphone jack); I discovered that I could purchase gift certificates on my Discover Card for something…
I just scanned through the other responses, and I'm not sure how I feel about this since it appears to be the oldest vehicle thus far, but my first ride was in a '59 Bel-Air. I was born in the mid-'60s but my parents bought "Old Blue" when it was new, and drove it into the early '70s (when they upgraded to a '72…
When I was growing up there was a woman who lived across the highway from us that I'd often visit, taking her mail to her and such. She was born in 1896, and eventually died just shy of her 91st birthday in 1987. She also never drove a car, and outlived her husband and at least two of her children. I remember her…
