Carscoop... thanks for reading, and could you throw a tag on the articles you rewrite and give me a credit?

On Jan 14th I post the Shelby Supersnake is sold on ebay,

on Jan 18th Carscoop posts:

On Jan 22nd I post about the Model A the Finnish innovator remade into a streetable racer,

and 2 days later Carscoop posts their photo heavy article.

I've found this on other posts before, but ddn't have enough evidence to draw the conclusion this clearly

0 to 60 car magazine website good variety, mostly new cars and racing orientated, good variety of wallpaper too

Primus "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" and a Subaru that jumps snowboarders ramps



for the original video of Jerry Was a Race Car Driver:

How is your local car dealerships rated? And what are the comments about them?

Dealer Name:

Quite a eyeful on the one I read, no punches pulled. Of course happy customers don't get excited enough to comment, only when people are aggravated and looking to get even for being abused , ignored, insulted, or aggravated do we go the extra distance to lash out or warn others.

The next time I find evidence of happy people taking the time to comment, email, blog, or set up websites... will be the first time I ever see it. It's just the way it seems to me.

Great website for early hot rods ... from Switzerland!!!

Hot Rod magazine has new title that might come out, here's a look at it

Just a reminder that lots of car magazines can be read online without subscribing

I've found the most dedicated website for C body Mopars or 1969-73

The FUSELAGE website was designed to make people aware of the beauty and elegance of these very impressive, American automobiles:
The 1969 - 1973 Imperial, Chrysler, Dodge Monaco/Polara and Plymouth Fury.

This was done in order to help stop these vehicles from being crushed, neglected or parted out.This website shall assist in identifying the different models in each line and through the years. It shall be a help for auto enthusiasts to determine whether an interior, trim or option was really available to the car model in question.This website also serves as a glorification of the sales material that was produced back then in a very contemporary style.

(why this guy thinks it's illegal for anyone but him to use the images from his website, when he doesn't own the copywrite... Chrysler probably does... is beyond me)

How long is a yellow light at the intersection traffic light?

This question came up today at a safe driver training course at work today, no one know the answer yet... but on the web I came across ...

How long should a traffic light stay yellow?

The length of time that a traffic light stays yellow will vary from one intersection to another. The timing depends mostly on the speed limit and the width of the intersection.


Doesn't answer the question specifically other than to tell the derivation factors. One co-worker states that the 1/10th of speed of the street at the intersection, is the time the yellow light will be on.
So 55mph zone will have a 5.5 second yellow. Maybe this is right, I'll look into it farther.

By the way the safe distance to stop in traffic is the distance that allows you to see over your hood and look at the bottom of the tires of the vehicle in front of you. Liberty Mutual insurance company calls this the "Liberty Wedge"

Maybe the 2nd funniest car commercial ever

My readers and friends, the time of the "Trunk Monkey Theft Retrieval System" is now!

From the brilliant comedy minds of :

Maybe they are fellow members of the Pirate Monkey Cult? which is the original website from Zina, who also authored this central website but not has her daily blog here: and every thing she's written is worth reading, and most of it is funny as hell!
