Cars

I used to be a car nut before I had kids. At that point, I became an admirer and not a doer. Did you know that there are some awesome vehicle modifications which are actually illegal in Missouri? I had no idea about some of these items and figured some of us enthusiasts (present and former) could use a refresher.

If I would have had to guess this, I would have gotten it completely wrong. Did you know that the worst city in Missouri for auto theft isn't Kansas City or St. Louis. It's not Springfield either. No, the most likely place to have your vehicle stolen also happens to be one of the worst in America.

It is possible that you might be a law-breaker and not even know it. Do you warm up your car without you in it? It's actually illegal, but there is an exception.

If there's a puddle of drool under this, I am the one to blame. It's not really my fault though. It's a St. Louis mansion I found that's filled with Lamborghinis. You might just drool, too.

I don't usually editorialize when I share news story, but I'll make an exception in this case. A pastor in Illinois gifted a woman in need a car and the state turns around and slams her with a tax bill. That just isn't right.

I am a big fan of the Cars movies, but I'd never attempt this. A Springfield, Missouri driver was just spotted driving backwards down a busy street and Mater would be impressed.

Attention, Missouri dads. The bar has just been raised. A new video shows how one Missouri man made a toy race car for his daughter and it's...quite exotic.

It's never a good thing when a building burns down. The best case scenario is no people are hurt as stuff can always be replaced. However, one Midwest building burnt down and the "stuff" was very unique including a limousine and a Lamborghini kit car.

When I look in garages, more often than not I see family vehicles. One explorer looked inside an abandoned Midwestern garage and found a Lamborghini kit car and a stretch limo. Let's trade places.

Of all the unique places you can possibly visit in Branson, this might be my favorite of them all. It's a museum filled with celebrity vehicles from just about every TV show and movie imaginable.
