Auto:(Video) Dont Park Illegally In Russia..Or This Will Happen!!

The mayor of a city in Russia is taking notes from the mayor of Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. They had such a bad problem with people parking cars literally wherever they wanted it became a huge traffic and safety issue. That same problem has been happening in Russia. Check the video below of what the mayor ordered his tow truck companies to do. I shared 2 videos. The first one is recently just from the other day. The second is from about a year ago but just to show that it wasn’t a prank video or anything like that. Russia don’t play lol. If I ever go over there I will make sure to pay attention to parking signs, even though I probably won’t be able to read the language. Check after the jump. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video) When Tokyo Drifting Goes Wrong

Take a look at this video that was put together by Car@nifty from Japan. Drifting looks like it can be fun, but just like in the movies, the crashes can be very real. I’m good on that. Check the video after the jump. IamJOE357


Auto: Infiniti Clarifies New Car Names Even Further

We reported yesterday that Infiniti announced they were changing the names of all their vehicles starting with the 2014 models. I like the move, it simplifies things within their own brand. There has been alot of buzz surrounding the announcement, and even some confusion as to which new names belong to which vehicles. Infiniti took to their facebook page today to explain it even easier with a picture of the cars and the names. Take a look at the pic above in the gallery. IamJOE357


Auto: The Least Stolen Car Is??

The Toyota Prius? For some reason this does not surprise me. The majority of the public still are hesitant to go with hybrids, and seems criminals are no exception. Between 2008-2010 a Prius was stolen at a rate of 1 in 606, compared to the average for all other model cars of 1 in 78 for the same time. The reason? The parts to the Prius from this time frame only work on a Prius. Sometimes when you steal parts from one type of car, that part may be interchangeable on a completely different model or make. Not with the Prius, all parts of the car from the engine down to the smallest part would not work in another car. So because of that, thieves are less likely to steal this car knowing it will be harder to move the parts. On a good note, when a Prius is stolen, it has a recovery rate of almost 97%.

Auto:(Photos) Which Luxury Cars Are Worth The Least??

I guess some luxury cars really are not worth all that luxury after all. Investopedia recently did a story on luxury cars that lose value the fastest. I was definitely surprised that a Mercedes S class was on the list, but I was not surprised Range Rovers are on the list because I have known for years they do not hold their value. Range Rovers on average can drop as much as 85% in value in the 5 years after purchase. The study was based on average resell price 5 years after the original purchase. Take a look at the gallery above for 3 other luxury cars that lose their value the fastest. IamJOE357
