Yup, it was already that time of year. College Football season has just kicked off, the final heat of the summer is leaving it’s burn on our skin, the first chill of fall teases us, the sun starts to set earlier and earlier and about 1200 people make the trek to the middle of the country. A journey to, what some have coined ‘The Autocross Mecca’, a large flat concrete paradise at an airport in Lincoln, NE. A journey to see just how they stack up against the best and greatest drivers in the country. A journey to the largest motorsports event in the world, the SCCA TireRack Solo National Championships in search of that coveted jacket with the words ‘National Champion’ embroidered on the back.

As with any lump of moving parts hurtling through the air, like an airplane or a robot fired from a catapult, cars will have issues. Usually these issues aren’t a big deal: the occasional paint chip or dulled clear coat, dirty hood, scratched bumper. Most of the time they go largely unnoticed. As for mechanical issues, you always want to know of a good automotive repair company you can take your vehicle to if anything happens. As long as you keep an eye on your car’s regular maintenance and it’s not too old, that shouldn’t happen too often.
There are a few problems though that, despite their universality, inexplicably give off an unwarranted expression of your entire lifestyle. Namely that you don’t have one. You live under a bridge in a fridge-box house where all the different rooms are stuck together with boogers. It is not specifically known by science* what separates these issues from others, but the bottom line is that these 5 problems are definitely the least that make you look the worst. Such as… More…
Just over 100 competitors showed up at the now famous autocross concrete mecca in Lincoln, NE. With flat empty concrete as far as the eye can see Lincoln Air Park plays home to the largest racing event in the world, SCCA Solo National Championships.

One of the MidWest’s largest car shows/meets evolved from humble beginnings. Just a few years ago the Ice Cream Cruise, was literally that. A car cruise to Sonic for ice cream. It then spread out and took over the parking lot of neighboring businesses, like Harbor Freight across the street. More…
It has been said that, when asked about their driving, the majority of people polled are under the impression they are above-average but most need to find a comprehensive full coverage car insurance policy wherever they can, what many drivers had done recently is ask for policies over at Moneyexpert.com and they look for a safe car to drive like self driving cars since driverless car accident claims with the help of an automobile accident lawyer are way less than regular vehicles.
Obviously they can’t all be right, because math. Some of them have to be below average. Some well below average. As we make our way through our daily lives, we see the people in question bouncing around in traffic; upside down and backwards on the interstate median, resting on top of a broken fire hydrant with water spraying into the heavens like a monster movie, or even just stopped in the middle of the road, inexplicably on fire.
Based on this end result you could certainly be forgiven for putting all of these people into the same X-signing category of baby-brained Magoos, tumbling through society like a child down the church steps. The real question, however, is the journey. How in God’s name did that woman’s car end up in the swimming pool of her closest neighbor? What could possibly have lead to a hummer being upside down in a parking lot?
There are a lot of possible reasons, one of which is the driver is inebriated. If you are involved in a DWI accident, consult a trusted drunk driving accident attorney for legal assistance. When you get involved in a car accident, don’t hesitate to contact an auto accident lawyer for help. An auto accident attorney will advocate for your rights and help you seek compensation for your injuries and property damages.
If they also demand to change the damaged car, they can simply contact the car dealership near me to inquire about a new unit. For those looking to sell their old vehicles, services offering cash for cars in Northern Beaches provide a convenient and profitable solution. If reliability is your priority, consider certified used cars in el cajon. These vehicles go through rigorous inspections for quality assurance.
And for those who prefer budget-friendly alternatives, exploring used cars in Hesperia can provide quality options for reliable transportation, often at a fraction of the cost of newer models. If you got a ticket for a traffic violation, a traffic lawyer specializing in laws related to driving can help you.
According to some experts there are several different types of people who have no idea what they are doing, and these are arguably the worst you will see. Beginning with… More…
Another Throwback Thursday to the forests of the 100 Acre Wood. This time featuring David Higgins and Craig Drew in the Subaru Rally Team (SRTUSA) STi Rally car. Something about this photo emulates rally. Maybe it’s the car slightly sideways, the cloud of dust, the spray of rocks or the sunlit forest road with menacing trees right at the edge. Or maybe it’s just Higgins who just claimed the 2014 Rally America National Championship, Congrats to him and the Subaru Rally Team. More…
