Roll Tide. This was before the Tornado, so a lot of the area has turned over, but this actually occurred under a bridge in West Tuscaloosa, near 15th. It was pretty much there and Alberta to be concerned about at that time. A student got shot like half a block from there a few weeks prior to this incident. Stray… Read more
In the worst (see: most dangerous) neighborhood of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as a college student. It was at 11 pm, in the pouring rain, and my battery cut out in the middle of the street. My then girlfriend (now wife) was in the car with me. A nice frat-guy helped me push the Lexus IS300 over to the side of the road but… Read more
You made your wife get rid of her car because you didn’t like it and she was sick of you complaining? I wouldn’t brag about that Read more
This reminds me of making repairs on my first car. It was a ten-year-old lexus, and I thought “surely these parts have been in circulation so long the parts will be cheap. However, I would I would call the Lexus dealer with a part number: $160, then the Toyota dealer with the same number: $90, then the Oreily’s with… Read more

I totally agree with you. The number of classic Fiat 500's, Current Fiat 500 Abarths, Interesting Renaults (Twingos are so cool), and of course Classic Mini’s driving around blew my mind. I inspected every classic mini so thoroughly. I’m sure there was at least one owner or two who thought I was up to no good. Read more
I’ve been baited and switched, received the “we sold it last night” (even when we left after the lights had turned off and the chain was going up), and had someone try to sell me a car that didn’t exist (I was on the phone with the dealer they told me the car was at right in front of them and they didn’t back down. I… Read more
I find most CR-V caused frustrations are due to overly cautious driving to the point of impeding safe progress for others. Exhibit A: My mother in law, who sucks the air out of the car anytime ANYTHING happens to anyone on a road she occupies that results in a .125 G motion in any direction. Read more
There are many times I have gotten out of tickets, but this is my favorite: Read more
It helps when you know you got pulled over without cause. Read more
Throwback
I will say: I just switched from an exciting/exhausting primary car to a boring/comfy primary car and I care about driving just as much, with zero accident history and one speeding ticket in my life. But I do drive faster and catch myself making a mistake or so more a week/month. I do think there is a factor that… Read more
I drive a car like most ride Motorcycles: drive to control your own destiny and pretend everyone is either a bad driver or about to make their mistake of the week. Ergo: Read more
I have extended family in Alabama and live in Nashville, and your statement is accurate. People from the actual south know that movie southern accents actually sound nothing like a southern accent. His is accurate, but sort of slowed down and thoughtfully annunciated to be “clearer”, therefore throwing people off. Read more
No, the engine shot was taken at its one and only car show appearance: HIN Minneapolis. I genuinely don’t remember where I shipped the kit to when I sold it. So I suppose it could have ended up there Read more
I freaking hate that bridge. (That’s the several mile bridge over all the swampland right?) I always wonder what would happen if a truck caught fire on it. What would anyone do?!? Read more
