When a Ford F-150 falls asleep, do you think its nightmares are haunted by a charging bull moose looking to violate its tailpipe? If not, this one's will be. An amorous moose was caught in the throes of passion in a parking lot outside of Hampton, New Hampshire and would not be dissuaded from his task by beeps from a remotely sounded horn or camera flashes from onlookers. The mighty beast eventually wandered off and in its wake left a bewildered owner and a scratched up truck. If you've ever wondered what a moose boner looks like, click here to sate your curiosity; otherwise, commence with the Sarah Palin jokes. [SeacoastOnline via Pickuptrucks.com] More »

According to statistics compiled by the New York Times this Sunday, the United States was the leader in motor vehicle safety...in 1970. However, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States has moved from that number one slot to the not-so-distinguished spot of 42nd out of 48 industrialized nations. This, despite the fact cars have gotten significantly more safe since 37 years ago. More »

Much like the wind cries "Mary," there is a Blt that Thnders "DOHERTY!" And said Thndering Blt kicked us down another heartwarming odd vehicle theft involving a drunk guy in New England. 26-year-old Michael Moran found a street sweeper with the keys in it in a parking garage, and in a fit of drunken New English logic, decided to take the machine for a cruise. Our favorite bit is this: "Moran traveled several blocks before he was caught by people chasing him." We're imagining an army of torch-wielding Clavin-clones running after the machine, yelling Eastern Seaboard-style epithets at him while Ennio Morricone's "The Ecstacy of Gold" plays loudly over speakers mounted on the sweeper's roof Japanese-Cosell-Better Off Dead-style. All of it, of course, in extra-dramatic slow-mo. More »

This reminds us of that one episode of CSI where the girl got rear-ended by the guy in the big Ford truck in a bout of road rage and was pushed onto the train tracks, her Cherokee smashed to smithereens by a locomotive. Thankfully, this incident seems to be an accident rather than an act of malice, and everyone made it to safety. A New Hampshire woman was hit from behind and knocked onto the tracks while stopped at the crossing, and both cars ended up on the railway where they were predictably plowed by Amtrak's Downeaster. The woman had to exit via her passenger door due to damage incurred in the initial collision, but both drivers survived and no injuries were reported on the train. More »

Authorities in Melrose, Massachusetts are grumbling about the propensity of their constituents to register their cars in neighboring New Hampshire. While there's a legal loophole in Mass law that says that residents who own houses in NH can register thair cars there, there seem to be plenty of people who simply register their cars in the Granite State because it's cheaper than doing it where they live. And because of the loophole, Melrose cops figure it's a waste of time and money to attempt to weed the legal loopholers from the flagrant abusers, causing a tax revenue crunch. More »
