Some have already posted about bringing back the 55mph speed limit, but obviously, that's not very practical nowadays with today's modern vehicles. My proposal--though I admit that my only data point at the present time is the fuel efficiency of my own vehicle--is not to exceed 3000 RPM in...

Considering that these terrorists kill and maim innocent americans every day on the highways, i think anyone caught doing 20 mph or more over the limit should do ten years in the can and never be allowed to drive again. LETS STOP BEING CRIMINAL CODDLERS.

Went to the bank today, pulled into a spot next to handicapped parking. The rest of the parking lot was empty. As I set the brake, a large crew-cab pick up pulled right up on my left beside me into the handicapped parking, over the parking line into my spot, with the bumper for the truck actually...

I had all four hubcaps stolen off of my Mitsubishi Galant today. Why do people steal hubcaps? Anyway, replacement factory hubcaps are way too expensive, but I was looking at some replic hubcaps online instead. Has anyone ever purchased replica hubcaps? Is the quality the same as a regular...

Just like the olden days when railroads crossed streets at grade and automated signals had not yet been invented, they...

This is subjective, in other words what I see around with my own eyes, but it seems that size and recklessness go hand in hand, all the way up to the Supersized Unnecessary Vehicles... So are they the new terrorists of the road, or just innocent suckers who fell for advertising? Just wondering...

Last week I was on my way to John Wayne Airport to pick up the wife. I was in the right lane on MacArthur preparing to make a right turn into the airport driveway.

Don't ask me for a study that backs up such a statement, it's just obvious. Every time you get on the road you see these wild vehicles (usually SUVs and larger vehicles) zigzagging all around playing a game of Russian Roulette --a game they always win since they are bigger... So there I was last...

There I was taking my family shopping, traveling on the interstate in a 65MPH zone, doing about 5 over on cruise. At some point I noticed a car that was probably doing 65 to 68, just slightly slower. At the rate I was approaching, I was able to observe him occasionally pass a few vehicles. Well,...

American auto makers can take apart and study in detail the competitions' cars. They know exactly how the top sellers and reliable cars are built, right down to the screws. They know how they perform on their test tracks. They know what look is selling. So why do they keep screwing up? GM makes...

About time! Kudos to Ron Watkins and the Colorado state police. Sure, there are bigger problems, but if they're going to be enforcing traffic laws, how about looking at issues that create problems - like left lane blockers (LLBs). Bo Raxo -- "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it."...
