On June 11, I picked up a Corolla at Orlando International Airport (MCO) (RR 586927810 Res F4913638357 / ADFW). I was offered to buy a full tank for a cheaper price, so that I would not have to fill the tank before leaving it at the airport. I refused because I thought I could do it on my way to Miami International Airport (MIA) (the return location). Read more
I went to EZ Lube for an oil change. They use to clean the windows and vacuum as part of the service like Jiffy Lube does. Not that they ever did the best job but it was nice to have the car vacuumed and windows cleaned in between washes. Read more

Cars either sailed or stuck as spilled sealant continued to harden. Read more
It's amazing how a few seconds can be worth a million bucks--or actually $1.1 million dollars. Five luxury cars collide outside the main casino at Monaco's Place du Casino, for a tally of over a million dollars worth of damaged cars. It all seems based around a Bentley as the trigger. But throw in an Aston Martin, Porsche, Ferrari and Mercedes for fun. Read more
One California motorcyclist is very lucky--to have hitched a ride instead of ending up dead after rear-ending a van in a car accident.
