“Best auto show on TV” If any of you out there have seen the show from England called, “Top Gear.” than you’ll understand what I mean by the above title. There’s an American rendition, but here I speak about the British version. I recently installed Netflix streaming from my computer to my TV. For [...] The Steering Column April, 2012 I lost my little 2003 Toyota Echo a few weeks back. Crunched while sitting at a red light, rear-ended by an idiot who admitted she was on her cell phone. Still pissed about this. She pushed me into the SUV parked in front of me, he sustained a tail [...] Previously in another column, I wrote about some terrifically fast cars. Ron Crowder provided this month’s column about truly high speed cars. Hope you enjoy this. Another Jimmy’s Corner Production. Top 20 fastest cars in the world by Ron Crowder Faced with the recent pub-quiz question “What is the top speed of [...] Do horsepower ratings mean anything? If I remember correctly, 1 horsepower was the ability of one real horse to lift 1 lb in 1 second, 1 foot off the ground.

Suzy’s carhop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama [...] November Steering Column Another Jimmy’s Corner Production I returned to college on my GI bill in 1972. 1973 came along and I had virtually no money. A friend in San Rafael said he had a line on a Kawasaki 750 racing bike owned by an attorney who wanted it gone. So, for $1000 bucks, [...] September Steering column Another Jimmy’s Corner production I was reminiscing the other day, I do that a lot, about how I avoided mayhem and death as a young boy. All kids seem to push the envelope, bend the rules and our necks, take some unnecessary chances, but to little boys in the 50′s, we [...] October Steering Column Before leaving Illinois at 14, accompanied by my 13 year old brother Jack, we’d perfected more than a few stunts on the local railroad line. This was the Chicago to New Orleans route with multiple freights and quite a a number of highball expresses. Four of us would put pennies [...] The Steering Column August Weird Cars I’ve Owned and Why? I’ve owned around 60 cars in my life, 15 or 20 new, and the rest used. In a previous column I mentioned that I really am enamored by small cars. Why? To me they look kind of cute, but the real reason is: [...] |
