There's no fix . . .


FOR STUPID. Wingnut didn't secure his load, and now, he owns what AOL Autos calls the Jackson Pollock Edition Ford Explorer. Be careful out there, OK? Reality can have an instantaneous bite . . .

Driving danger

JALOPNIK IS A DELIGHTFULLY CHEERFUL SITE devoted to things automotive. Sam Smith has an article, "The Ten Most Dangerous Drivers In America", listing the top fender-bender piloti by occupation:
  1. Attorney/Judge – Why chase ambulances if you can bring them to you?
  2. Financial professionals – Do they cover their cars with a “tarp”?
  3. Government worker (GS6) – Fender benders are a little known GS6 requirement. 
  4. Bartender or Waiter – It’s just a different way of getting served. 
  5. Other – Professional – AKA “I was hit by that ‘other’ guy.” 
  6. Dog Groomer – Following the rules of the road must be a real pet peeve. 
  7. Marketing/Advertising – If they have road rage can we call them “Mad Men”?
  8. Barber/Stylist – Mostly likely to cut you off. 
  9. Coach – Always crying foul. 
  10. Nurse – Bedside manner: Great! Roadside manner: Yikes!
