The coolest, fastest and most impressive cars in popular culture.

Living My Muscle Car Dreams (sort of)
I have a stupid dream that most likely will never be achieved. And probably shouldn’t be achieved since it would be a pretty bad example of hoarding and owning cars that aren’t what the planet needs right now. But, I’d be lying if I said I’m ready to stop at least dreaming about this one.

Towards a better traffic culture for a safer society
Despite the great efforts made by the legislative, police and judicial bodies to enact legislation and toughen penalties for violators of traffic rules and to try to implement these penalties, it can be said that we live in a state of non-compliance with traffic rules for most vehicle drivers, which are represented in several negative behaviors, including: excessive speed and trying to escape from cameras Not sticking to the traffic lane and not sticking to a sufficient distance between the vehicles in front of you and other negative behaviors.

A Night's Work
The rideshare I work for is always encouraging drivers to mop up partiers late on Friday and Saturday nights. They pay better during those times for one. I made a hundred bucks in an hour late New Years Eve, 300 altogether. I have a theory that you're more likely to deal with a raging alcoholic late on a random weeknight where New Years turned out great. Everyone was cool and several female groups were sweet and silly and flirtatious.

Ferrari logo and the history behind the car
To a large extent, you’ll agree with me that everything under the sun evolves. The Ferrari logo has had several updates. Yet, its core graphic elements since 1929 remain intact. These subtle redesigns have made most people not notice changes in the design. Let’s now delve briefly into a few of its updates below:

Lyrical Gas, Cars In Popular Music.. Top Story - March 2021.
There are many songs specifically about cars. On the other side of the spectrum are songs that are not about cars but briefly mention cars or cars. I prefer the latter. I love cars and lyrics; it’s fun checking out tiny details within the words. For example on The Weeknd’s song Starboy he slipped in a ton of car references.

A Lady and a Camaro
My first choice was a Ford Mustang. My late step dad first car was a 1965 Mustang. It was a used one, rusted on the outside, and old on the inside. He used it for commuting to go to work and church. It was a classic red, still beautiful beside it's rust from all the years of use. I don't recall this car being stuck. But we dealt with flooding one night after church service in the evening and the water was up to nearly the seats. We got out safe but drenched but the Mustang was still going strong.

Last of a Dying Breed
We bought and sold cars for a while, nice ones too. Car flipping came natural. When I decided to branch off from my partner, we stayed good friends. But the independence gave me new life. I don’t mind helping people but way times it began to seem unfair to be doing most of the wrenching and dirty work but still dividing the profits equally. In fact, at the time I made this decision, it was because I had my 1st born on the way. My daughter was on her way and I wanted to test myself. She was born in the fall of 2000 and coincidentally it was also when I felt I became a man. I was a huge fan of Chevy trucks and when the year before GM announced they were discontinuing the 2 Door Tahoe model, they had my attention. I rushed to find the perfect one. It had to be black with gray interior, Z71 suspension and the Sport model. When I can was lucky enough to find it, I was beyond excited. The guy I bought it from seemed to be in financial trouble but I didn’t ask questions. Just negotiated the right price and hit the peddle to the floor. The next day I went through it cleaning it to make it perfect. I removed the front seats and got to deep cleaning the carpet and interior. What happened next was shocking. There was a little black book tucked under one of the interior panels, barely visible. I struggled a bit to get it but when I’m did, it was not only someone’s personal phone book, but it clued me into a stash inside the truck that I’m guessing the previous owner didn’t know about or forgot about. The back page cover had some numbers that added up to about $80,000 odd dollars. Right under the total it also indicated “RR bench” and nothing else. I sat there with curiosity and quickly began inspecting the rear seat and cargo area. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this was one of my luckiest days. Inside the right side of the rear seat I found some stacks of cash wrapped tightly and consealed carefully where a piece of foam had been modified to hide $80-100,000 in cash. In a panic I began to feel shaky and nervous...asking myself if this could be true. If this could be dangerous or illegal. I collected my thoughts and found a perfect place to keep the full amount of legal tender safely. I decided to never mention this to anyone in fear of losing it or bringing any bad vibes around. Then I waited. I waited to see if the previous owner would call me to try and claim it but he never did.
