Spring will bring warmer weather and Easter candy, but it will also bring potholes.  You can blame our crazy winter weather for those.  The moisture in the cracks in the pavement goes from frozen to thawed multiple times, causing the road surface to expand and contract.  Driving over it causes it to weaken even more […] More »

Warning: Do not try this at home.  Or on a public street.  You’ll see why… A few gearheads recently got together to pit American muscle against import power in a drag race.  Remember this scene? The video below is a lot like that, except that it features a Chevy vs. Nissan contest.  A 4th-generation Camaro […] More »
