Fantone — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 02:28:11 +0000

It’s amazing how badly cars can get beaten up and still run. Look all around Flint, Michigan and you’ll see automobiles that are practically falling apart but still out on the roads. This Russian driver takes driving a beater to a whole new level. How is this thing even running/ I have to assume [...]

Fantone — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 23:19:51 +0000

Most band vehicles suck. Unless you’re rolling around on Kid Rock money, most bands count on vans that have been used as evidence in an abduction case. These three Russians break that stereotype though, and use a motorcycle as a means of transportation and practice space. I’m pretty sure these dudes are Russian. Maybe [...]

Guy Flips Car at 70MPH [VIDEO]

Tony LaBrie — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 12:39:05 +0000

I always think how lucky I am because I've never been in a serious car accident. Well, I did total my first car when I was 16, when I fell asleep at the wheel and hit a tree but I didn't get hurt at all.

The thing I don't get when I watch these videos is, why in the hell is there a video camera mounted on the dashboard? We've been lucky enough to score some awesome footage, but I can't figure out why everybody has a camera ready to catch it all. Am I missing something? Maybe I should mount a camera on my dashboard just in case I wreck.

God, old people are awful drivers. Not only are their reactions slowed down, but they can’t see, they think GPS is magic, and for some reason they all drive these giant boat/tank 1982 death traps.

Michigan's First Snowstorm

Tim Gray — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 02:03:26 +0000

This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and I am one of the guilty. Not that I forget how to drive in snow, just the fact that I don’t service my car or change my tires. So yes, you will see a little white car creeping along in the snow, [...]
