Perhaps because its very name sounds antiquated, Oldsmobile has always been regarded as a fuddy-duddy car brand. The truth of the matter, however, is that Oldsmobile has been a leader in high-performance vehicles, cranking out some of the fastest rides of their time. The 1949 Rocket 88 is regarded as the first muscle car and was a dominant force on the NASCAR circuit. The Cutlass 442 was a GTO killer and one of the baddest rides of the classic muscle car era.

Actor Van Johnson, who died in 2007, was one of Hollywood's ideal films idols. In the 1940s, the charming screen icon was box office gold, and remained a popular presence on TV in shows like Murder, She Wrote (which starred his good friend Angela Lansbury).

Some days, the only remedy for my ennui has seemed to be the self-imperilment of a motorcycle. But a bike would only be a gateway drug to something like, say, a V10-powered quad with more than 1,000 horsepower. It looks like it could cure my discontentment forever—if not necessarily in a survivable way.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

Someone who doesn’t care to follow “Do not block” signs is the same kind of person who argues against being towed. And rather than accept the consequences of their sloppy parking, such a person thinks stealing the tow truck and speeding away as their partially attached vehicle collides with every parked car along the block is the best way to handle the situation. Oh, how I miss New York City.

When rescue crews Girdwood Rescue 42, Utility 41, and Medic 41 responded to a sinking vehicle report on Seward Highway in Alaska, they found something unusual—a fully loaded semi-truck. The truck was slowly sinking into the icy Turnagain Arm—a waterway that feeds into the Gulf of Alaska—with the driver still inside the cab. The rescue crews threw the driver a throw bag, so they were able to pull him to shore and he was taken to the hospital. Thankfully, the driver is OK.

The Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tire has been around for a long time and is largely considered a good-value performance tire. It’s in the upper quadrant of dry-road performance while being closer to the middle on price. I was pretty pleased with their performance on my Honda track car, even with a slightly odd wheel setup.
