For those keeping score, Detroit currently leads the by one point to zilch, due to the fact that a street-parked, mid-engine ‘Vette just had its wheels stolen. That makes Michigan’s overall score over the Corvette two-nothing, as .

There aren’t many details to share, but here’s what we know, according to both and . The car was parked on a street in Detroit’s West Village neighborhood. It was found with all four wheels missing, sitting on two cinderblocks with its ass resting on the ground and the lug nuts apparently abandoned on the pavement close by.

It’s unclear who this car belongs to, as MT notes it doesn’t have manufacturer plates. But I’m sure it was quite a nasty shock to come out to this.

You know the real reason I think those wheels were stolen? and were, therefore, wheels people actually, you know, want and value. If you were offended by that joke, please fill out your grievance on the back of a 100 dollar bill and then promptly light it on fire.

Head over to and to see pictures of the poor Corvette. I can’t publish them here because we don’t have the rights to them and I don’t want to get sued.

Do Flies Survive When They Fly Out Your Car Window At Highway Speeds?
This fiercely important question was actually asked by our own David Tracy, who’s somewhere in Germany (I think), likely succumbing to a particular strain of road madness. Otherwise, why else would he be reaching out to me, clearly distraught, wondering if the fly that he just let out his...

Blip: Inflection Matters
This 1974 Austin Marina ad copy really only works if you read it with the exact right inflection. “Some” has to be given the right emphasis, in the weird way people can use “some” to mean “a hell of a,” like if you were expecting a Sprite and were...
