There, Ed discovered that driving really fast in a straight line is harder than it looks, at least in a twitchy track tuned supercar driven on the salt. Read the rest of this entry »

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has released their results from sending the all new 2008 Dodge Caravan into walls and other large obstacles a few times.
The good news for Dodge is that the minivan received top scores of Good in front and side crashes. The bad news is that the rear crash tests came back with a Marginal score, the second lowest possible.
