This might sound strange given it’s world wide appeal, but I wish more people in my corner of the US knew about rally. I’m from the South, and you would think that a generation of people raised on Dukes of Hazzard to the point of idolization would flock to a racing series where cars run flat out on dirt roads through…

Gotta give a callout to the 24 hours of lemons, (or Luckydog, which is a similar series)...

A perfectly good road rat for $2500. Ride it hard, haul stuff, drive it in the city and park it on the streets without worrying about it. Nice Price.

All the tourists love a gimmicky lift bridge in my town, but the correct answer is the Bong, not just because of the wonderful name, but because the conditions are so favorable for scofflaws that my commute is almost always <8 mins.

The Millau Villaduct in France is absolutely breathtaking. I drove across it several years ago and it was one of the most stunning driving experiences of my life.
