The end of May will see a new roundabout completed on St. Simons Island at the intersection of Frederica and Demere Roads - the intersection handles up to about 22,000 cars a day according to the article.

Unexpectedly, the driver suddenly wanted to turn right. He slowed down and turned abruptly across the right lane, driving his trailer across the front of an SUV. The SUV driver...

I've been driving the last 6 months on a tire with exposed cords just to see how long it would last and it finally blew out a couple days ago. Figured i'd buy a used one for 15$ but i can't find any tire store or service station that has any. Used to be you'd see you'd see used tires at lots of places.
