The speed limit at that portion of I-5 is 70mph. 80mph is only 10 over. On that stretch, there are bigger fish to fry than a 10-over Jetta.

Came to post the Chrysler flathead, glad to see it already here. Have one in my '46 Dodge truck, and it just keeps on ticking. With a compression ratio of 5.1:1, it'll run (seriously) on anything from kerosene on up to regular unleaded. And because Chrysler was so awesome, most of them came from the factory with…

They actually made the Protege in AWD trim, too.

Don't worry, most of the time, the cars are inside the car carrier.

Even if it made it without falling off, it's a total write-off.

Spa is one of my favorite tracks. Especially when there are pre-65 saloon and sports cars thrashing 'round it.

I submit every B-17 and B-24 landing from WWII ever. Most of the time, those things were so full of holes, it was amazing they flew, let alone landed.

Probably the same system that was designed for efficient tank and troop movement...

Yeah, not what I'd call "crazy aftermath."

It's one of the wooden toys in the witch — er, "woodworkers" workshop.

I agree, there was some poor decision making skills on the mother's part (why were they out and about at 10:30pm? If she could see the cars, why would she not wait and cross afterwards?). But, whatever, she maybe had a great reason, we don't know.

Very timeless — and you can thank the British for that.

And an FYI, for those who are desperately in love with this car (like me):

I can't not watch it! It's amazing...

Totally unrelated here, but how I hate Instagram filters.
