Kids, a short lesson in towing. When you’re the car being towed, you should probably turn on the accessory to unlock the steering wheel. When you’re the car towing, you may want to look behind you from time to time.
Thanks, Patrick for the tip!

This video has been circulating the internet at lightning speed, and for good reason. It’s European-Spec STI towing a stuck 18-wheeler out of some ice. It may get 24mpg, and the exhaust won’t save any whales, but this little sedan just raised the bar of what a turbo-4 cylinder, AWD can really do. And people say STIs aren’t practical cars. Good thing he wasn’t towing out a cop in CA, they would have thanked him, and then cited him for having modified exhaust.

OK, I read TMZ. I like celeb trash sometimes, so deal with it. I especially like it when celebrities, a great percentage of which are morons, think their cars are worth more simply because they have owned them. This is common, even by normal non-celebrity standards, as every car is worth more to its current owner than it is to anyone else. Drive a $130,000 Maserati Quattroporte off the lot with a smile? To you, it’s still worth $130,000. To anyone else, it’s now worth $100,000 maximum, simply because your fat ass sat in the seat for a few miles, and signed some paperwork.
Jon Gosselin, who just realized he has to pay at least $10,000 A MONTH! in child support for his 8 kids, tried to make a quick buck by trading in his 2005 M3 (AKA, the guidomobile) for a 2008 Subaru STI plus about $4,000 in pocket for him. Not surprisingly, the dealer wasn’t buying. Maybe he could rent it out by the day to paparazzi?

Say hybrids are the answer. We save the Earth, weather returns to “normal”, we all save money, cleaner air, etc. We all live happily ever after, right? Not exactly. They’re fine in places like So Cal, but what if you live somewhere that has climates? You might assume with all the technology in that 4-wheeled deprivation chamber it could handle anything, but check out what happens when this guy tries to drive up his driveway in the winter. Keep in mind, the driveway is clear, and has had snow-melting compound put on it.
