Jumping Rope with a Car

It seems like every time I find an absolutely ridiculous video on the internet I think to myself, “Well, now I’ve seen everything.” Then something like this comes along. Here we have two guys who take it upon themselves to make a car jump rope, or in this case a chain. These videos are pretty funny and very awesome, besides when is the next time you’re going to see hydraulics being used in a recess activity.

Off road car trick

Here is a common tactic for anything off road I though I would share. Also it looks kinda cool.
Take a small bottle of propane with you, those tiny green or blue ones. When the tires bead slips and you get a flat you press the propane tank against the valve stem filling the tire up slightly with propane. Add fire around the bead and the resulting explosion acts as a vacuum sucking in air while pushing the tire back on to the rim.

A Life in Cars

While recently talking to one of my summer interns about one of my current cars, the 2006 MB s430 AMG Sport 4matic, I took a trip down memory lane. I started thinking about each and every car that I had every owned in my entire driving life. It seemed to me that each car had one real defining story or moment and I thought it would be fun to share it here:

1968 Ford Falcon

my uncle gave me my first driving lesson I was 8… I worked the steering wheel with my younger cousin underneath me working the gas and brake while my uncle called out instructions on a one lane dirt tree line ½ mile driveway to some beach house in the Hampton

1970 Mercedes Benz 220

my fathers first MB; to this day he doesn’t know that I would take it out for a spin around the block

1976 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Station Wagon
