Just one vote so choose wisely.

I am leaning towards the more aggressive/dangerous drivers in my poll choices.

I drove this road yesterday and lucked out, got thru without having to stop.

Today I was the first vehicle stopped. I knew it would be a long wait, so I shut the truck off. About 4 minutes in the guy holding the stop sign walks up to my truck and motions for me to roll the window down. He asks if the truck shuts itself off or did I shut it off. I say, well I knew it would be a long wait, so I shut it...

Was out shopping with the 2014 Nissan Sentra SL the week before Christmas…

What does a compact marked space mean to you? In a packed Walmart in California, some are more privileged than others apparently. In fact almost twice as much.

70 years ago just four days before Christmas 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a 21-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly, a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber’s tail—a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber in the squeeze of a trigger. What happened next would defy imagination and later be called the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.

This is the true story of the two...

Saw this FJ Cruiser with a plate LOLMPG on the way up to Elkhart Lake last week.

Let's do a little math to help this guy out a bit.

The 4.0L six mated to a 5-speed AT is rated at 19 mpg. He is probably receiving 18 mpgUS year round and at 15K miles per year (guessing here?) plus $4.00 per gallon, that comes to $3,333 USD per year in fuel or $277/month. This is fuel alone.

Now if he were driving a 41 mpg rated Camry Hybrid to 40 mpgUS instead, his outlay for fuel to drive the same distance...

The Audi TT is thought to have left the road, hit a vehicle on the drive and smashed into the northern corner of the home in Long Meadow Walk.

Emergency services were called to the scene, at the road's junction with Uplands Road North at around 1.45am on Sunday, and found a man in his 20s...

A high-speed police chase ended in a horrifying fireball when a driver careered into a barrier yesterday.

As he weaved through traffic, the driver suddenly appeared to clip a car in front before losing control of the car and hitting the guardrail.

He was only saved from the burning wreckage when Los Angeles police pulled him free.

1. This does not pass basic tax fairness test.
a. Public policy 101 teaches us that those that consume the good should pay for it. This proposal spreads the road cost to everyone regardless if they use it or paid already for it in another manner.
b. Double taxes poor that already pay point of service tax for public transportation
c. Double taxes Cleans Diesel...

"The HMS Bounty, a 180-foot, three-mast tall ship, was last marked about 90 miles southeast of Hatteras.

The ship has sunk, according to the Coast Guard at 8:45 a.m. Monday.

Just before 8 a.m., the Facebook page for the HMS Bounty says 14 of the 16 people who had to abandon their ship have been hoisted to safety.

There have been conflicting reports on how many people were onboard. The manifest reportedly listed 16 people, and that's the number the Coast Guard has."...
