Weekly Roundup: You Should See The Other Guy Edition
About twelve hours after you are the not-at-fault party in a car crash, no matter how minor, you will start getting calls from attorneys, body shops, and "official accident centers" that just happen to be affiliated with a local chiropractor.

Ten days after a cheerful harmonica player and recreational marijuana enthusiast bopped his Mazda2 into my Accord, I've yet to hear from Liberty Mutual, the insurance company of said fellow. Well, that's the way of the free market, ain't it?

This week, I interviewed the owners of EXR in Las Vegas to find out how the "supercar experiences" out there can be saved. But the real traffic and interest from the readers came when I wrote about driving a slow car fast, and a fast car even faster.
