POPSMan urinates way out of avalanche. Clever thinking. I would've tried pouring the beer, but that probably wouldn't work well. By the time I'd have to go to the bathroom, it'd probably be to late.

POPS15 Most RIDICULOUS Car Mods You Will Ever See I would like to see the impact ratings for the obese Cadillac. I am betting that 'mod' boosted the impact ratings. Kind of like slamming into a sumo wrestler. The WTF pt. 1 and 2 are vans from Japan styled in the Bosozoku fashion. Trucks like #10 used to be all over the place...back in 1996. That Nintendo valve cover was freaking genius. Picture # 8 is not a mod. That is a standard night headlight assembly for a rally car. These drivers are often doing +150kmph on a road designed for 80kmph in the dead of night; they kinda need really powerful high beams to see the road ahead of them well. Albeit, it may be on some dudes stock Impreza instead of an actual rally car, but it is not a mod anymore than having a roof rack to hold some skis.

POPSHow Electric Cars Could Save the Grid Benefits of the "Vehicle to Grid" project being developed by researchers at the University of Delaware "electric vehicles could do more than provide backup energy. If just a quarter of the nation's cars were electric -- about 50 million cars -- the power capacity of those batteries would be equal to 700 gigawatts, the entire power production capacity in the United States today" "For the system to have the most value, electric cars need to be equipped with a high, 80-amp/240-volt plug -- something a little more powerful than the plug on an electric dryer. (An electrician can install the corresponding outlet into any home.) But most of the existing electric hybrid cars come equipped with a low, 15-amp, 110-volt plug." "the low-amp plugs work...but if the electric car owner is selling electricity back to the grid, they want to sell as much as possible. A 15-amp plug could net a car owner about $400 year, whereas an 80-amp plug could net $4,000"

POPS52 AMAZING Shots of Classic Cars Merging between both the art of photography and auto design can produce wonderful photography artwork that tell about the great classic cars design story through the history, no matter if these classic cars are shown in a gallery in a big city or parked on a far away deserted farm, but the beauty of the effect is the same and will never change.

POPSSupreme Court outlaws unreasonable auto searches ...after thirty years of near carte blanche to police - a badly needed decision. Just last week, there was a YouTube story about a pastor who was tazed many times for refusing to allow his car to be searched at an immigration stop - and - search.

POPSThe little bastard >> And at what should have been the end of the story of the tragic death of a Hollywood legend, the story gets really weird and an urban legend was born. You see, despite his earlier misgivings that the car gave off a "weird feeling of impending doom", George Barris decided to sell pieces of the car off. Even after it fell and broke a mechanic's leg while they were unloading it after George purchased it. George sold the engine and drive train to two doctors, Dr. Troy McHenry and Dr. William Eschrid. They each used the parts in their own racing cars and planned to race in the upcoming car race at the Pomona Fair Grounds in CA. And in a race marked with doom, each of them crashed. Dr. Eschrid lost control of his car and almost lost his life when his car overturned. Dr. McHenry did lose his live when he lost control and had a bad crash. Was it just coincidence or were even the parts from the Spyder somehow tainted? <<
