Auto: GM Forced To Recall 70,000 Trucks & Suv’s

More bad news for GM. The just found out they might owe as much as $1 Billion dollars to creditors due to some issues from when the company accepted a government bailout and was restructured in 2009. Now they are forced to recall almost 70,000 trucks and suv’s including the Escalade, Tahoe and others. The reason for the recall? You may walk out of your house and see your truck rolling away down the street. Turns out some of these vehicles may of been built with a cracked park lock cable or a malformed steering column lock actuator gear. In these cases, the car could shift from park without the key being in the ignition or even without the pedals being touched. Hit the link after the jump for more. IamJOE357


Auto:(Photo) WTF Is Wrong With Young Drivers

Kids who are only teenagers now and younger, pretty much only know the internet. Maybe it is frying some of their brains. This kid here takes the award for idiot of the year for 2013 and the year just started. He was drunk, crashed into a park car and drove off. When he gets home he decides to go on facebook and not only tell the world how drunk he is, but also confesses to hitting a car and apologized. I guess he thought it would never come back to him. WRONG! Turns out a cop in the area who was aware of a hit and run, saw the post and was sent a message by someone else. Next day the cops go to this house and match pieces of his car that were damaged to pieces from the accident scene. Next thing he knows he is arrested for hit &run. All I can do is shake my head. Check his facebook post in the gallery above. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video) Mini Cooper Goes For Backflip

Now I don’t wanna get any of our readers upset, so I will tell you now this video is just a teaser. We have to wait to the first week of February to see the complete video, but in the mean time this still looks crazy. Check out the modified Mini Cooper try to pull off the first unassisted backflip in a car ever. The driver is stunt driver Guerlain Chicherit. For now we have to assume he made the flip happen with no problems, or why would Mini promote it so much? Check the teaser below. IamJOE357


Auto: Stop At Red Lights & Now Yellow Too??

Be happy you don’t live in China. Unless you do, and if so I feel sorry for you if you drive there. As of January 1st, 2013, A new nationwide law went into effect in China requiring drivers to stop at YELLOW lights, as well as red. This pretty much defeats the purpose of having a yellow light, but hey, what do I know. The law was put into effect with the hopes of significantly reducing the number of traffic related deaths in the country. On average, about 250,000 people die each year in road related accidents in China. That is an extremely high number. So hopefully this helps, even though I am sure they could of came up with other ways. Hit the link after the jump for more. IamJOE357


Auto: GM Could Lose $918 Million In Lawsuit

Sounds like GM is about to have some problems. A judge is looking into the possibility that when GM took a buyout from the government in 2009 and had the company restructured, that a huge chunk of the money was purposely diverted to hedge fund holders. This was done without many people knowing, and also at the expense of other creditors. If the judge decides that this was improper, he could open up the lawsuit which could wind up costing GM close to a BILLION dollars. Hit the link after the jump. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video) Crash Caught On Camera During News Report

I must have a sick sense of humor, because I actually laughed for a quick second I saw this video before I caught myself. I think it was just the random way this rider crashes his Motorcycle. Strangely enough the accident was caught on camera by a news crew doing a story. See the video after the jump. IamJOE357
