1. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy…
Ford has been testing a fleet of autonomous Fusions lately, in a push to develop what’s known as “Level 4” autonomy…that means no steering wheel or pedals. Hooray, the driverless pod is on it’s way. If you ever wanted to know what that would be like in reality, understand that Ford has had to issue a statement assuring the public that engineers aren’t falling asleep in the cars during testing because they are bored out of their freaking mind.
2. I’m pretty sure I heard someone scream out in anger and sadness that day…
Living near Bowling Green, I’ve gotten used to seeing trucks loaded with Corvettes wrapped up like Christmas presents heading out to all corners of the earth. But not all Corvettes make it to a happy owner. Case in point: this transporter and a dump truck tangled in Alabama, and among the damaged plastic fantastics is that yellow car that we suspect is a ZO6. Someone go check on the insurance agent, make sure they are ok.
3. Forget court, this might end up in a duel in the street.
The city of Oceanside, New York has had an issue with the owner of this Cessna 150 for a year and a half, mainly because the aircraft is parked in front of his house like a boat. They demanded that he remove it. Neighbors complained, like neighbors usually do. And when the owner went out of the country, they came in, dismantled the plane, hauled it off to a park and sent the owner a bill. The owner told a local news crew that he had a crossbow and that if he had been there, things would’ve been a lot different. Like “I’d shoot them right through their f***ing chest” different.
4. Smart? Shocking, maybe.
The Smart is now EV only? Whoopee. Moving on…
5. Oh please oh please oh please oh please…
The rumor mill over the Hellcat-powered Jeep is now claiming that the “Trackhawk” will appear at the New York Auto Show in April. Funny, that’s when we are supposed to get our first official look at Dodge’s SRT Demon as well. We are ready, FCA. Hurry it up already.
I hope the crappy city in NY gets to buy this guy a brand new 182RG in the future.
I once saw a helicopter neatly wrapped in plastic and parked in a guy’s driveway but the neighbours weren’t around to ask if they minded it being there. Maybe they were all running around in driverless pods with each other’s wives….
