Just saw this piece on ABC news about tire expiration dates. Those who know me have always heard my mantra about buying a good quality tire, after all it's the only thing that's between your car and the road. According to this piece on ABC news, the rubber compound in tires dries out over time and becomes brittle after 6 years or so. This can lead to blowouts, nasty rollovers and to the premature pushing up of the the old daisies!

While escorting a lady friend back to her car in downtown Boulder, CO I noticed a car with it's lights on. My friend commented that she remembered seeing the lights left on when she left to join me at a coffee shop some 2 hours earlier.

Ladies and Germs, I give the the Hyundai Atos "a city car" my mom just bought. This is what R69000 ($10000) gets you in sunny South Africa. No Airbags, no ABS and stability control, forget it! I I inquired about the Euro Ncap saftey rating and my mom just laughed at me - South African's don't need none of those safety nannies!! My mom added that she's been driving on some of the most dangerous roads in the world for the past 30 years in an old BMW320i sans airbags and ABS! Yeah, BooYah! BooooooYahhhh go South Africa!

In this vid from YouTube see how anyone can launch their piece of shite car on a homemade ramp and jump an extraordinary 36 feet narrowly missing certain death by rollover. Note how the door opens when the mother ship hits the ground. Camera work gets an F, pure hoonary an A+. Well done blokes and next time you're about to do the stunt of the century get a proper camera will you.

Down memory lane with some of my fav rides - me want dat S4! I love it how Jeremy compares sitting in the Evo to sitting in a bin liner! The Subie Sti is nice, the US version is a little slower but shit for every day I think I'd take the Audi over the other two Asians.
