A 2010 decision by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to allow the sale of gasoline blended with up to 15 percent ethanol (called E15) has come under fire from many groups. The latest is the Auto Alliance, an auto industry lobbying group representing several major automakers. The Alliance has published a new study saying that up to 5 million cars on the road today may be damaged by the higher concentrations of ethanol.
The study showed problems with damaged valves and valve seats in some car en…

While Bill Gates is more famously associated with another Porsche, the 959 that helped shape U.S. doctrine on the import of cars, it wasn’t his first Porsche. A few years after he founded Microsoft with Paul Allen, Gates bought a new 1979 Porsche 911 Turbo, which has now turned up for sale in Austria.
Gates apparently never babied the Porsche, either. According to a TIME profile on Gates from 1997, he made many a high-speed excursion with the Porsche on the desert roads a…

Drivers in Ontario are probably very aware of the province's laws on street racing and speeding, which allow officers to impound a vehicle on the spot for three days if a driver is caught under certain circumstances.
But today I was speaking with Cam Woolley, an ex-OPP officer and the traffic and safety specialist for CP24, and he mentioned two that I didn't realize were also subject to impoundment. If you get upset with someone and you purposefully cut in front of him and slam on your brakes, a …

Getting Inside Phineas Gage’s Head Copyright John Darrell Van Horn and the UCLA Laboratory of Neuro Imaging, 2012
Scientists are getting another chance to get inside Phineas Gage’s head. The 25-year-old Gage was a railroad supervisor back in 1848, using a 13-pound, 3-foot-7 iron rod to pack blasting powder into a rock just moments before becoming history’s most interesting neuroscience case.

It was my cousin Tommy’s 1976 blue Subaru station wagon that drove me, windows down in Spring on I-95 to my very first pizza at the famous Pepe’s Pizza…
