There are roof-racks and there are bike carriers. There are suction-cup animals and there are tissue-box-holders…
…And then there are car-add-ons so far-out that they challenge reason: Things so bizarre, one wonders how they even end-up as street-legal.
Though you won’t find any of these ridiculous implements in your local automotive section, they all bear mention here for anyone who loves a good laugh on a long, relaxing drive:
From frozen poo to corrosive cow saliva to accident-causing potatoes, there’s no shortage of stupid stunts, crazy claims, and outrageous accidents from the world’s diciest drivers.
Here’re our picks for the cream of the crop, er, should we say, the bottom of the barrel:
Here’s your chance to literally go where no one has gone before: Would you believe that in this age of GPS and Google Earth, there are some parts of Ontario in which humans have never set foot? There are more than a few acres – square kilometers even – on Earth where no one has been. And in recorded history, we haven’t even been to all the places where lines of latitude and longitude meet.
Whoa! You don’t see that everyday…From fire towers to panoramic mega-decks to extreme boardwalks, Ontario has its share of scenic lookouts. Check out some amazing ones you may not have been to yet…
From the inspiring to the extreme to the downright bizarre, take a look at some of the coolest road trip destinations in Ontario that you [likely] haven’t heard about. (Drop us a line if you’ve heard of more than two of these OR if you think there’s something else that should be on the list…)

Whether it is potholes, traffic congestion, or deteriorated pavement, many of Canada’s highways are in serious need of improvement. The following is a list of headlines about the top 15 most dangerous highways in Canada:
Car accidents happen every day, but just what causes them differs from scene to scene. Of course, we all know that distracted drivers, cell phone users and drunken motorists wreak havoc on our roads, but what about accidents caused by lesser known events?
There are quite of few of these collisions on record, and most are accompanied by common sense caveats—others however, may fall under “freak accidents” that could not be avoided or even anticipated. Either way, we can learn a thing or two from these enlightening incidents.
Car owners can be rough on their vehicles. Day after day of pounding the roads commuting to work, school and other activities causes a good deal of wear and tear on a vehicle, and its component parts. Many car owners take for granted one of the most basic car components … their car battery. It’s typically only when the car won’t start that vehicle owners even acknowledge existence of their car battery, which is actually a vital part of the proper function of their car.
From 1999 to 2009, the automobile world has seen great advances in the development of safety devices and components that are available to consumers. While previous generations wanted vehicles that were faster and sportier, current generations are much more concerned about safety – which has helped to reduce the number of automobile related fatalities and insurance claims in the latter part of the last century. A recent report generated by the “Insurance Institute for Highway Safety” indicates that three times as many vehicles made their list of “Top Safety Picks” than in 2007, indicating that automobile manufacturers are placing much more emphasis in keeping the consumer safe.
