I'm sick and tired of clinching highways!

It's fun getting a traffic ticket!

South Pasadena gives up 50-year fight; allows construction of I-710

ROAD TRIP: Los Angeles (or other West Coast city) to Honolulu

Jump-starting the car by connecting the jumper cables to high-voltage power lines: Is that safe?

Can I use duct tape to fix a blown head gasket?

Dodgers win 2013 World Series

Arizona Cardinals get decent quarterback and offensive line

• Colorado agrees to sign all routes which duplex Interstate highways, and fully signs US-alignments which parallel the interstates.

• Colorado finally finishes the Denver outer belt and signs the entire loop I-470.

• Colorado completes six-laning of I-70 between Denver and Aspen.

• No more Sunday Traffic jams heading from the mountains to Denver on I-70 Eastbound.

Interstates named after cats

Seedy motels that charge by the hour along the highways

Beers, wines and other beverages named after roads (although this really should be a topic)
