Rhinos, they'll knock your car out even if it kills them

1933, 5:54pm, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Long Beach. Imagine what the result of that catastrophe would be today in LA rush hour?

A Trolley hit this car, makes me wonder how often that happened

the type of Trolley I'm referring to is the electric streetcar before they were all disposed of in favor of gross polluting GM busses http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/07/wouldnt-city-transportation-be-more.html no joke, the lobbyists for GM (biggest corporation in the world at that time) convinced the national senators and congressmen that the electric streetcars were worse than diesel busses that tear up the asphalt at intersections because of their weight, and pollute the air

Holiday warning about driving

Thought it would be better to get this out before the Holidays...

Please, take care of yourself. A recent joint study conducted by the Department of Health and the Department of Motor Vehicles indicates that 23% of traffic accidents are alcohol related.

This means that the remaining 77% are caused by assholes who drink bottled water, Starbucks, soda, juice, energy drinks and shit like that. Therefore, beware of those who do not drink alcohol. They cause three times as many accidents.

This message is sent to you by my buddy Mike who is a drinker and worries about your safety.

Happy Holidays!

Hear that screaming? Hear the cry of outrage? Yup, they just looked at this GT500 Shelby Mustang Cobra on a junkyard heap of junk cars. The point is

that this should get us fired up, like when Car Craft once had a photo of a Camaro that was being eaten by the jungle slowly... and the submission was accompanied by the phrase "we lost one, but let it be remembered by saving others" (Adam Rosenbaum, Portland Maine)

Everybody looks at train wrecks, only some train wrecks make us wonder how they happened!

Wonder how these two happened!

the most famous was the French train that plowed out of the 2nd story of a building to the street below http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/02/one-of-most-impressive-photos-ive-seen.html

I hope the car was parked and empty when it was stepped on by this big truck
