Psycho Women Battle For Parking Spot

Woman Pushes Car from Parking SpaceI don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve had situations before when I was waiting for a parking space and someone rudely pulled in before me. This is normally when I was waiting at a weird angle and they couldn’t quite see me.

Although this really pisses me off, the most I’ve ever done is tell someone off. But the lady in this video wasn’t going to be satisfied with that! She wanted that space, and she wanted it NOW!

Do NOT Mess With Little Old Ladies in Texas!

Car CrashThis little gem comes from the morning radio show of Roger, Rick and Marilyn over at CHUM FM, and was once again found by my buddy Jimbeau! By the time I was done listening to it, I was laughing so hard it hurt.

Let me set the scene for you before you listen to it. Some guy in Texas is driving in to work and leaving a voice mail for his co-worker explaining why he’s late in case the boss is asking where he is. While he is leaving a message, he witnesses a minor car accident, and then…

Demolished Toyota 4Runner - FrontSorry I’ve been pretty vacant for the last few days, but on Monday evening I got a call that my brother and his fiance were in a terrible car wreck down in Houston. My wife packed my stuff in about 20 minutes while I prepared and then headed out for the 4 hour drive.

One Man Gets a New NSX!

NSXI am pleased to announce that I will soon be picking up my newly acquired 1993 black Acura NSX which I am purchasing from a long time member of the NSX Prime group named Brandee. The car is in San Francisco, but I’ll be meeting Brandee a week from today to pick it up and drive it back to Dallas.

For those of you not intimately familiar with the NSX, don’t worry… most people wouldn’t even be able to tell a Ferrari 308 from a Lamborghini Diablo because all of these cars are handmade in such limited quantities and you rarely see them in person.

So, allow me to take a little time to introduce you to the world’s only Japanese Supercar, the Acura NSX.

All I Want for Christmas… Toyota Volta

Toyota Volta
Why does Toyota torment me like this? They build the coolest, most beautiful concept car on the planet and then refuse to manufacture it. Someone should be shot!

Seriously, I’d take the very first one of these to roll off an assembly line if they would just build it. And I MEAN that. Jim Press (President of Toyota North America), I’ll have your check waiting the moment you hand me the keys!
