January 9, 2013 "You would die if you crashed right now." That is the warning you would read on your dash to help you slow down. Most people die in crashes because of the speed of the vehicle, then losing control.
While it’s tough to find the bright side of not only totaling your hot car, but splitting it into separate pieces, and getting to live to wreck another day is always a plus. Such was the experience of a Vancouver man whose Audi ended up burning on someone’s lawn as he sat nearby, trying to make sense of the situation.
During a road trip, Travis Chambers proposed a math problem to his wife Chelsea. “If you are traveling 80 miles per hour, how long does it take you to go 80 miles?,” he wonders.

Earlier in the week, a massive storm dumped almost 12 inches of rain in less than hour on Montreal, causing the city’s sewer system to swell. In this amateur video shown on ‘Today,’ a cameraman filmed as a geyser of water blew off a manhole cover and lifted a parked car into the air.
The geyser started slowly at first, lifting the car only inches off the ground. But eventually, a massive torrent of water exploded from the sewer system and hoisted the backend of the vehicle several feet off the ground.
Like the robot maid, the flying car is part of our 'Jetsons'-promised future that has yet to materialize.
But that could change soon. Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration granted the Transition Roadable Aircraft a series of special exemptions, effectively making the plane-car hybrid street-legal.
Having your car stolen is bad enough, but Carol Denmead of Arizona experienced something even more traumatizing than your basic carjacking: a stolen vehicle with her precious pup inside.
