Designed to Fail: The Mont Blanc Tunnel Fire (RCR Stories)

In 1999, a truck caught fire inside the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
What should have been a manageable incident turned into one of Europe’s deadliest infrastructure disasters. Thirty-nine people died, not because of a freak accident, but because the tunnel itself worked against them.

This is the story of how a venti...

1998 Volvo S70 GLT: Regular Car Reviews

The 1998 Volvo S70 GLT should be dead. It’s nearly 30 years old, has almost 280,000 miles, is missing a cylinder, leaks oil like state secrets, and sounds like it’s one cold start away from an overdue grave. And yet it just passed inspection. In this episode of Race to the Bottom, my ongoing search for the worst car in th...

Snowpocalypse 2014: The Worst Disaster 2 Inches Ever Caused (RCR Stories)

In January 2014, Atlanta was brought to a complete standstill by just two inches of snow. Highways froze solid. Thousands of cars were abandoned. Children slept overnight in schools. Parents walked miles to reunite with their families. Emergency vehicles couldn’t move. A modern American city collapsed, and it wasn't because...

Stick Shift Minivan! Race To the Bottom Patreon Cut

They really don’t make cars like the 2012 Mazda5 Sport anymore, and that’s sad. On this episode of Race to the Bottom, I get to end 2025 by driving one of the most surprising cars I’ve featured this year: a minivan with a manual transmission! Mazda and Ford really cooked with this, because it’s not just a minivan with...

We're In the Dark Ages of Car Design

Modern car design has fallen apart, and nobody in the auto industry wants to admit it. If anything, it’s almost like they want to make it worse. From long, tall, pedestrian-safety noses, to a bunch of fake vents, fake exhausts, and fake diffusers that don’t actually do anything. We’re in a period I’m calling ...

When Florida Man Gets Behind the Wheel (RCR Stories)

Florida Man isn’t a person. He’s a category of behavior.
A myth of the automotive industry. A menace of America's roads. A walking roadside attraction in cargo shorts with the confidence of a man who doesn't read road signs. When you pair Florida Man with a motor vehicle, you ...

Bolivia’s Death Road: 300 Deaths a Year (RCR Stories)

For decades, a single dirt track carved into the cliffs of Bolivia connected the capital of La Paz to the agricultural hub of Nor Yungas province. Locals called it El Camino de la Muerte or La Carreterra de la Muerte, or simply, The Death Road. Built by prisoners of war in the 1930s, this road wasn’t a symbol of progress, b...

Get in on it early! The Love Child!!!

The 2009 Saab 9-7X is a Trailblazer in silk pajamas. The forbidden love child of GM's awkward relationship with Saab, and a symbol of the corporate chaos at the heart of their partnership, the Saab 9-7X shouldn’t work. But underneath all the badge engineered mediocrity is the quirky Swedish soul that just might make this th...
