- Annoying Driving Habits
[Automotive] I am the best driver in the world, as are you, and we know all the other people on the road are no-hopers who shouldn't be allowed to drive a tricycle, let alone a car. So why is it that the police don't penalize people for being irritating drivers? Send these to your friends who drive - especially the ones you know commit these heinous acts of automotive indiscretion.
- Car Designations Explained - The European Influence
[Automotive] There's nothing like using the motherland's terminology to make your car sound like it's got more class. Of course, you'll never drive an Aston Martin Black Pudding, but harking back to the gentlemanly days can give a marque some extra kudos.
- Engines and Drivetrains Explained
[Automotive] Where do they go and what does it mean? Lotus EliseWhile the majority of cars have their engine over the front wheels, which allows better carrying capacity, mid-engine cars offer a more favourable weight distribution. The engine usually sits just in front of the rear axle, behind the passenger compartment.
- Noisy Cars Are Like Ugly People
[Automotive] The furore over loud cars is ridiculous. For the vast majority of people when a noisy car goes past, it takes a few seconds at most. So, noisy cars are really like ugly people.
- Biofuels, Hybrids or Herbivores
[Automotive] South Park parodied hybrid car owners creating clouds of 'smug', but do they really have anything to be smug about? In the battle against man-made global warming and reducing pollution ethanol powered cars, not hybrids, are touted the way to go and politicians and the environmentally conscious alike are jumping on the bandwagon.
- Road Rage And Breathing Deeply
[Automotive] Miami was voted the city with the worst road rage in America in 2007, which would make it the most roadragious (did I just make a word up?). It lead one comedian to joke that it's because people aged 20 are doing 95 and people aged 95 are doing 20.
