Don't worry, An— I am fine.  Jason, can you please forward us—me your home address?  I'd like to swing by in my helicopter to show you this awesome... car stuff... yeah... Read more

I can get you one of those and next year a GTR R34 too because we are awesome. Read more

When the 2006 bill came out, I hoped against hope that the car would still be there. They changed the angle on the bill of the Treasury from 3/4 to straight on. They even still have a curb! I SO hoped that there would be a straight on little 1920s parked at the curb, but alas. We are now carless. Read more

I've heard that if you have the magic stovetop that ben franklin inveted and iron the bill using lemons, you can read a special message on the lisence plate that will reveal the location of increadible treasures, or at least lead you to another clue...or so the legend goes. Read more

I lived in India (Nilgiri Hills area) back in the 80's and it's good to know that things have changed...a bit.  There are still cows to occupy the roads and I am always mesmerized by the passing ability.  I remember countless times seeing people standing in the road, a cow walking, a bicyclist passing the cow, a Read more

Absolutely loving these series. I moved to America from India when I was eight (now I'm 20) and I've only been back twice. These articles sure are not only great reads but rather nostalgic for me as well. Keep up the great work! Read more

That was hilarious. I was laughing out loud at my desk like a madman. My thanks for that. Read more

This article is hilariously entertaining. As an Indian who has spent much of his life in America and only visits india a few times a decade, this article is spot on for describing driving in India. I must say one time I was there I test drove a motorcycle when suddenly the dealer decided to take me on a ride. Although Read more
