    Who is sick of driving today with all the jerks on the road

    I know I sure am. Freaky traffic is so dumb now. Seen this today on a 4 lane 55 mph zone a car just stopped at the light 10 seconds after turning green. Cars whizzing by--not one blows its horn to wake the driver up. Finally goes and its some gal looking down on her passenger seat still. Yeah...

    Car Work Burn Out!

    Those dumb cross bars in the engine bay, why

    Not sure all makes and models but loads of Mopar cars from the 70's have two bars in the engine bay. They go from each fender to the firewall, sometimes at the same point, sometimes not. Why? They don't seem to offer much support. My bay area seems cleaner without them, any harm? Sorry...

    This is why newer cars stink

    Yeah ok you should not be doing this but like wow 50 miles isn't that far--not at 130 mph or so--the police always stretch the truth, I don't buy the 140 mph and even so it the car has overdrive.
