This is the car news I have been waiting for. Audi is working on technology along with their home city of Ingolstadt, Germany to do something that will bring an almost sexual gratification to every single driver on the face of the earth who hears about it: Never having to stop at a traffic light [...]
Well if you think driving your city is a nightmare, at least it’s not Houston. According to the Houston Chronicle Hurricane Ike caused some major havoc on the highways. The Chronicle spoke with Jeff Weatherford, Houston’s assistant director of traffic operations who said:
Q: How many traffic signals does the city have, and how many were [...]
General Motors stock has seen a decline over the last year which might not come as much of a surprise for the company who’s most notably associated with the Hummer and the Cadillac Escalade. As the consumer market increasingly turns towards smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles, GM is hoping to corner a piece of the [...]

I hope that this study just pertains to British cars, but I’m certain that it does not exclude us in reality. It seems that a recent study by British scientists discovered that the average U.K car is something like a cross between a used Pamela Anderson tissue, and the underside of a sewage treatment plant [...]
I have long held a theory that men and women are equally bad drivers, just in different ways. I think of men as being reckless. A man’s accident involves driving 100mph down the wrong lane, side swiping an ambulance, while barrel rolling past a stopped school bus (all likely to impress a female.) These are [...]
