Ok, so GreenCars is about 5 years behind the times on this one, but we’ve stumbled across a wonderful site called FUH2.
In short, it’s an entire Web site dedicated to displaying user-submitted images of  people flipping Hummers the bird. In fact it’s become so common now, that the finger is  often referred to as the […]

I found this on the MyADSL Forums, which in turn probably came from an email that’s doing the rounds. Nevertheless, it’s still quite funny and scarily true.
 BASIC RULES FOR DRIVING IN GAUTENG
1. Turn signals will give away your next move. A real Gauteng driver never uses them.
2. Under no circumstance should you leave a safe […]

Clearly I’m not alone in thinking that the Bugatti Veyron is a loathsome, vulgar piece of automotive history - a crowd gathered in downtown Manchester to cheer on a traffic official as he ticketed an illegally parked Veyron. It seems that simply screwing over the planet with his 33l/100km atrocity isn’t enough, so the driver […]

Thanks AutoblogGreen for drawing my attention to the Aptera launch video. This car’s so way out, and its claimed fuel consumption is so low (0.78l/100km) that I almost can’t believe it’s for real. Seeing it in motion makes it a little more plausible. Enjoy.

Well, I guess that’s one good reason to drive an SUV. I found this sign near Ohrigstad in Mpumalanga yesterday. Luckily, my Panda handled the “moerse gate” just fine.

Hope y’all have got some bandwidth left (gogo, South African telecoms) coz here are some pretty cool videos.
The first two are episodes from Project Phin - Clean My Ride. It’s a funny mocumentary about a guy’s quest to make motoring greener in the USA. The next three videos are part of a trailer for the […]

Last year’s South Park episode, Smug Alert, poked fun in a typically irreverent way at the self-righteous attitude of hybrid car drivers. You can see a clip below (the Toyonda Pious, and the Hindsight are the featured hybrids):

It’s now being claimed that the majority of hybrid owners cite the ability to show off their green […]
