You Can Say That it Was a Very Close Call for This Pedestrian

Walking bridges are built to ensure the safe passage over roadways for pedestrians and cycling traffic, but a freak accident, which reportedly occurred in the Russian city of Vladivostok, proves that there's no such thing as "100 percent safe".

2007-2012: They Were Very Good Years (or Chevy Vegas & Other Delights)

Okay, so this won't be yer traditional (if a few posts over a five year span can even be considered 'traditional') Very Good Year™ post since A) I won't really be reviewing the various automotive-themed events that occurred during that time (save this one, obviously), and B) I've been mostly too busy

2013 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 First Drive: 202 mph? 662 Horses? The Superfluous Is a Very Necessary Thing

Voltaire once wrote, “The superfluous, a very necessary thing.” What, then, should we make of a warranty-equipped Ford Mustang with 662 hp and a claimed 200-mph top speed?
