I had to run over to Utica to pick up a case of wax. I make this trip every year to resupply. I know, I know, everybody has their favorite and many of them are really good but none are this good. I have used about every wax made over the years but now I only use one, Collinite #845 Insulator Wax. Of course 99.5% of you have never heard of it and that is because it is primarily used for high voltage power lines and insulators to prevent flashover. I stopped in and talked to the President of Collinite, Mike Taylor and he hooked me up with a bunch of samples which I will give out to car detail looking people at the Syracuse Nationals Car Show. Once you use this stuff, everything else becomes a shelf queen. By the way, I do not work for Collinite in any capacity other than as a dedicated #845 user. A special thanks to Mike.

Grab a shotgun seat in this twin turbo Audi S4. This car has been modified and just rips. Chip handles the driving on this one. Tomorrow he breaks out the SS 454 Chevelle convertible as he said he needs a smoke. And yes, the 454 crate will provide a lot of smoke.

The kick-off to the 2007 Syracuse Nationals at the Onondaga Lake Parkway in Syracuse, NY. The parkway was closed for part of the night so drivers can take their street rods for a cruise. Visit http://www.syracuse.com for more news and multimedia.

Top Secret..lol

Showing Dual Band Spectre 4+, how it filters crap old detectors and only detects good ones like X50,9500i,V1. you can flick the switch for ALL detectors or filter out crap ones and only detect good ones.it detects the crap one, then i flick a switch, the spectre goes silent then i plug the 9500i in and it detects it.

I followed this guy for 10 minutes while he paced the cars next to him and there was nobody in front of him. He finally signals and moves over a lane ......only to speed up so I cant pass, and get back in front of me. WTF?!

We were out for a little drive and headed up to the Valley of Fire which is about 40 miles north of Vegas. There is no excitement in this video, just a nice drive through some beautiful country.

The eastern shore of Maryland has some beautiful places, especially through the trees. I was northbond on Rt. 13 about 10 miles north of the Virginia line. I had some good tunes on and just enjoying the ride. Bob Dylan, Tangled up in Blue.

Crossing the Chesapeake Bay. I drive this route all the time. This is what it looks like going from the Eastern Shore toward Virginia Beach on the CBBT. The toll is $12 each way which means I ought to own at least a foot of it.

Grover Cleveland Park in Caldwell, New Jersey. This just might be my most boring video ever so please don't bitch about me wasting your time, click off now. Since I made this for myself, I really don't care. Ride along as I slow things down and take my bike for a ride. As you will see, I have both feet on the pedals here.

Very short clip showing NYC artwork (tagging) just rolling down the highway. You do not want to leave your truck parked long in the city.

For my racing group friends. Took Kyle Busch's car out for a few laps of practice at Martinsville. This is one tough track to drive. On the bigger tracks you have time to get settled by not here. After 20 laps, I was done. I think they do 500 in the race. This is gonna be a good one! For the rest of you, I made a bunch of comments.

Another Left Lane Bandit story. Driving along, I came up behind a minivan which was pacing another minivan. I moved behind and saw no indication of movement. Slowly the van on the right began to gain ground so I moved behind the right minivan. When I was along side the left minivan, he noticed I was trying to pass and sped up slightly. I drifted left, close to his lane hoping a squeeze might make him back off, but to no avail. He then stepped up the pace of his fish stickered minivan so that he evenly paced the other van. I moved to the center, strattling the line between the lanes and just followed. A slower moving truck later caused him to shift to the right lane at which point, I moved left behind the pickup knowing he was turning left. As I passed, my wife said he flipped me off. We both had a good laugh although I really wish I had videoed him giving me the finger. I do not give the finger to people in traffic myself except under very rare circumstances. Another day on the road with the left lane banditis. For more blood pressure raising excitement, check out my Left Lane Bandit series.

You've seen them out there. Wherever you go, the highway or the sidewalk, they are out there dedicated to slowing the flow. You just know I am talking about those nasty Blockers!

The long awaited sequel to my Left Lane Bandit series was inspired by an article in the Sunday, February 1, 2009 Newark Star-Ledger, about left lane bandits. The title of the article is "If you're not passing somebody, then move over" by Kevin Manahan. a Star-Ledger editorial board member. Here is the exact link
