They should have hooked a flat bed trailer on to the Shockwave, loaded up with some prime cut steaks. By the time the race was over, they could have fed that crowd very well with some perfectly flame broiled dead cow chunks.

Nor have I ... Mufakka's boss must own a salt factory or perhaps just loves to drive in the ocean surf?

Great shots of the old track! The collapsed roofs on several buildings really brings it all home. Our old 1/3 mile asphalt track wasn't allowed to slowly deteriorate. It just closed up shop and was demolished after operating from 1965 - 1987. It's now an industrial park, although aerial views still show the outline of…

In a one year period, I ate (figuratively) a Starling, a Crow, and was sideswiped by a Red Tail Hawk ... and I was only doing 50mph on a country road each time on my old Virago. Hell, I had my visor opened one hot day and took a June bug between my eyes which nearly unseated me. I imagine a swift beheading would be…

That reflects my opinion as well, Kay .... I very much doubt that the distracted morons will even notice a narrower lane. I think that this study was designed for people with some awareness of their surrounding, as opposed to the more common mouth breathers staring at their smartphone, eating a sub sandwich, and…

Southwest seems to have big plans ....

Apparently Southwest is doing well .....

Could be ... My parents always suggested that I should 'run and keep running until my feet explode'.

I was thinking the same. A guy could make a small fortune if he opened an underpants kiosk at the end of the 'runway'.

I was actually looking for a wagon, but not a barge like the old traditional family trucksters. Unable to find one, I settled for a new 2nd gen CRV with Realtime AWD ( I live in snow country and sometimes forego shoveling snow in my driveway). Ample room inside for occasional hauling, decent mileage, and it's now…

Very true, mate. The Eagle did seem to arrive at the idea of a 4wd semi-SUV vehicle before the Forester, and let's face it .... It WAS a looker, especially if trimmed out in faux wood paneling over burnt orange paint.

The girl in the gray ducked ... always a great survival technique.

Sad stats, indeed, Torch ... I think I just felt a tear running down my leg.

Great story, mate ... you have quite the set of clappers. I wish I did. LOL The closest I got to a great driver was naturally, at the Glen. After Jochen Rindt won in 69', I ran with about 500 other spectators to where Rindt had stopped his car and actually got to within 20 feet of him. He was grinning furiously and…

You're fortunate, indeed. Lauda has forgotten more about race set ups and driving than any of us will ever learn. Having been at Watkins Glen F1 races in the late 60's and early 70's was a sensory treat for me that can't be forgotten, but for me at least, the current crop of cars are just shadows of those hairy…

I used to call these little hatches Chevy 'Shove-its' ....... I now stand corrected.

I'm quite certain that I've heard these same exact sounds when my bathtub is draining through the hair matted over the drain.

Seeing that photo of the Ducati gave me a sudden shiver. My first bike was a 70' BSA 441 Victor Special, and the tank color resemblance is startling. It too, was a scrambler and I rode the absolute piss out of it, until a left turning truck coming towards me, decided that surely my bike could stop from 35mph in about…

Praktise makes perfeckt, mate.

If you're Russian, ignore this article. Green means GO, Yellow means GO, Red means 'LOOK OUT ... COMING THROUGH!
