Suspected drunk driver hits 100 mph going wrong way on I-5
2012-01-13 02:30:00 There isn’t much happening in the news with the Lincoln LS these days… Ford royally blew it when they cancelled their only platform which was technically a competitor to the Nissan FM platform (used by the 370Z and the Infiniti G and M). But what we have to report is that a wrong-way driver in a Lincoln LS doing ...

Adam Carolla from The Car Show, legendary racecar driver Michael Andretti a
2012-01-08 00:50:00 (Photo Credit: Autoblog.com via Andrew H. Walker / Getty) Interesting, I just read (over at Autoblog.com under report) that SPEED Channel might be cancelling the Car Show with Adam Carolla. I watched The Car Show on SPEED and while it was a little weird and it reminded me of Top Gear, it wasn't that bad. But what really caught my attention was that Adam Carolla, Michael Andretti, American Choppers own villain Paul Teutel Sr. among others will be on the upcoming season of NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice. I will say that I've been watching both The Apprentice and The Celebrity Apprentice for years now especially with John Rich and Trace Adkins being on the show and I actually for the most part enjoy the show. But this season, what I'm really looking forward to is hopefully seeing and hearing Donald Trump say those magical words to Paul Sr. "Your Fired!", its so worth it. I like Sr. vs. Jr. American Chopper, but only because Paul Jr Designs is on it.

MICHEL GONDRY'S TAXI DRIVER
2011-12-27 02:00:00 French filmmaker, Michel Gondry, recently produced a sweded version of Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. If you're unfamiliar with the term "sweded" it's actually from one of Gondry's past films, Be Kind Rewind, a story about a couple of video rental clerks create home-made versions of classic films that become more popular than the originals. So without further adieu we present to you Taxi Driver--The Michel Gondry Re-make:

Can you see these four brake lights on this brake happy Dodge Ram driver?
2011-12-18 21:34:00 (Photo takes by me "Brian Vermette" with my 3MP cell phone) Sorry, I just could help myself to take this picture (from the passenger seat, no I wasn't driving) when I was coming up to the Massachusetts tolls on the MassPike yesterday after being stuck behind this Dodge Ram at the tolls. Ironically enough, we were in the Fast Lane (EZ Pass lane), no change required, just wait for the green light once it bills you. But I do have to say that I like the four different locations of the bright brake lights.

Matthew Fox Allegedly Punches Female Bus Driver
2011-08-29 21:50:00 Whoa there, nelly! Apparently Matthew Fox has a bit of a temper. The former Lost star is accused of punching a female party bus driver while in Cleveland on Saturday. Get the deets on what happened below. Simma down now, Jack Shepard! Simma down! Fox has been in Cleveland filming I, Alex Cross. He was at a downtown bar and according to reports, wanted to get a ride back to his hotel so he boarded the private party bus. Heather Bormann, who was identified as the bus driver, told the Party of Five star that it was a rented private bus and he would not be able to board, blocking the entryway. That made Fox none too happy, and he allegedly started to punch Bormann in the crotch area and chest. Reports suggest that Fox was allegedly drunk during the altercation. Bormann in return punched him back, right smack on his mouth, leaving Fox with a cut lip. Bormann told TMZ that she thinks she broke her hand while doing so. “This was my self-defense,” Bormann told TMZ. “This w...

2011-08-16 07:24:00 This article is part of a cross-promotion between both my two blogs RaceDriven.com and ThinkingBrian.com. Over on ThinkingBrian.com, I discussed the massive wreck on the final lap with Boris Said, David Regan and David Reutimann, the confrontation between Boris Said and Greg Biffle, and Marcos Ambrose winning at Watkins Glen. (Credit: Jason Smith/Getty Images for NASCAR) As NASCAR fans continue to talk about Monday?s Heluva Good! at the Glen Cup Series race that included a massive last lap wreck with Boris Said and David Regan getting together and David Reutimann getting the worst of it to Denny Hamlin losing his brakes and hitting head on in the turn 1 wall. The big story coming out of Watkins Glen is that Marcos Ambrose has become the 5th driver to pickup his first Cup Series victory in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. Personally, it was cool to watch Marcos Ambrose hold off a hard charging Brad Keselowski and Kyle to pickup his first career Cup Series victory at Watki...

This Mornings Rockin' Mad Taxi Driver
2011-03-19 10:52:00 I called a taxi this morning at 0445 hours to get to Changi Airport for a flight to Kuantan in Malaysia. This is sort of routine for me now! Not specifically going to Malaysia but the early morning taxi journey that precedes some flight to some end destination. Normally these trips go smoothly and without comment, a taxi pulls up at the door, I kiss the wife goodbye (whilst wandering again why I have to leave the good life) and without further ado I find myself at the airport and a taxi driver with his handout expecting some cash to be passed over. Uneventful as they should be. This particular driver was an exception. I'm positive that I've met him before and in-fact included him in an article I wrote in 2003 titled "The Singapore Taxi Driver" where I suffered a journey of imitation bagpipe playing and horse neighing. This morning as I was ticking through my items for the third time, passport, toothbrush, money, etc, my phone rang. "Eeehee, you call for taxi?", shouted some v...

I'm not a huge fan of this bus, as it more-than-occasionally passes me up when I'm waiting at a marked bus stop.The driver asked me if I was going to work; thinking he was just making light conversation, I told him that yes, I was. He then asks if I have a pen and paper.... he then tells me to write down what he says, and gives me a long, complicated regimen of vitamins and natural remedies that he thinks I should take.In fact, he got so excited about suggesting...

Oversimplification of new TaylorMade R11 driver?
2011-01-14 15:30:00 The "revolutionary" new TaylorMade R11 driver has been oversimplified in its new ad campaign, introducing the golf club with children singing an old Sesame Street tune. Although VP of brand and product marketing Bob Maggiore said the TaylorMade R11 driver's "stunning design, technology and performance clearly set it apart from the competition," it's hard not to think in black and white instead of 1080i. The new TaylorMade R11 driver head is white, atypical for the most part but that is not what sets it apart. The R11 can be fine-tuned to the user by changing loft, face angle and flight path. This concept was probably too complicated for the masses, especially when attempting to explain it in a TV commercial. Instead, let's sing a song! Here is TaylorMade missing the boat in an earlier TV commerical, Transported. I'm not saying that the ad for the R11 isn't "cute" because it is but... I don't want a cute driver and I don't want a golf club that I picture comes as part of a...

"Did your parents not teach you to let ladies goes first?"He won't let people board in the front until everyone gets off, yelling at people who try.He puts the ramp down for able-bodies women with strollers.He scolds people for standing near the rear exit, even stopping the bus until they move.He leans on the horn till cars move out of the bus stop lane. On the #80 Irving Park, that makes for a 20-honk trip. As a result of his strict adherence to the rules, it...

Chicago-area judges: the speeding driver's best friend
2010-05-04 19:21:00 Ever wonder about all those aggressive, reckless drivers you see out there? You know, the ones who shoot by you on the Kennedy like you're not even moving, even though you, yourself, are already going 15 or 20 over the speed limit? The drivers who slow to 75 as they enter construction zones? Yeah, those drivers. I'm talking about speeders who exceed 100 mph.According to this recent Chicago Tribune article, "Chicago area judges give two-thirds of these triple-digit speeders court supervision, which keeps their driving records clean." The story goes on to profile a handful of the most lenient judges. The judges, in their defense, claim that by the time the cases get in front of them, prosecutors have already...

St. Paddy partiers called out by driver on the #80 bus
2010-03-14 17:49:00 The #80 crawled down Irving Park late on Saturday afternoon. Passengers ebbed and flowed on and off, the bus alternately crowding and spewing riders. Saturday there was a fairly large contingent of St. Paddy's Day revelers, conspicuous in their green beads, sweaters and other accessories. As usual a knot of people crowded around the rear door, including a quartet of Paddy partiers led by a redhead wearing a green headband. (I don't make up this stuff.) As the bus tilted toward overcrowding in the front, the driver announced over the loudspeaker: "Would the girl in the red hair and green headband please wave your hand?" She did as commanded. "OK, now will you please move all the way to the...
