question of the day
Though we've asked you about your
favorite roads, today's geoporn of
Beijing's craziest interchanges got us thinking of the worst roads we've driven on. We can't help but remember a Hungarian prof telling the story of German diplomats driving around Romania (Hungarians and Romanians don't get along, fyi). The Germans think they're making great progress and all four of them are chatting about this in their big Mercedes and then they hit a pothole. A pothole so big it swallows the entire car. Then, as the professor said, "they were all dead, poof." This was supposed to be the punch line. You have to love that Eastern European sense of humor.

question of the day
OK smarty-pants— you dumped all over
Dan Neil for being a communist, liberal elite, ivory tower, Jane Fonda
French kissing, Volvo/Saab/Prius driving, latte-sipping, car-hating hippie socialist. Sure, he's dead wrong on the
Rambo Lambo, but 49 out of 50 ain't bad. So now it's your turn. Show us what you got. Bonus points will be awarded for beating Dan's Cimarron write up ("Everything that was wrong, venal, lazy and mendacious about GM in the 1980s was crystallized in this flagrant insult to the good name and fine customers of Cadillac") and coming up with a viable worst 10 list. Super bonus points will be showered upon the individual who deems to bang out a 50 worst. My vote? See above. Good luck.
