62 percent of car owners believe car appearance is essential, 53 percent of car owners wash their cars less than once a month - and 16 percent never wash their cars. This translates into 73 million grimy automobiles among all 138 million registered vehicles in the United States. Even worse: 61 percent of respondents admitted to leaving garbage in their cars, and 27 percent say their car stinks, or used to, because of it.

No, it's not illegal. But here's the thing about Chinese laws. I wouldn't be surprised if it was illegal, because China has a law for absolutely everything. However, most people have no idea what they are and only about 1% are actually enforced. You're pretty much breaking 5 or more laws at any given moment in China

Wildlife biologists and researchers estimate that vehicles may kill as many deer in Utah every year as hunters do.

(During the 2009 hunting season, hunters took about 23,000 deer.)

But it's the part of the population cars take that makes the difference.


Hunters take mostly bucks. But cars mostly kill the deer that are the key to the future growth of Utah's deer herds — does and fawns.

Fortunately, new and innovative road structures are helping reduce the number of deer that are hit and killed by cars in the state.

A proposal to pave a road through the Book Cliffs in eastern Utah is a good example of two things: the effect roads can have on deer, and steps transportation officials and wildlife biologists are taking to help deer out.

In 1972 the average speed of cars on Los Angeles freeways was 60 miles per hour. Ten years later, the growing traffic problem dropped that number to 17 miles per hour.

The average American will spend two weeks of her life stopped at red lights.

To drive on all of the paved roads in the United States, you would have to drive nonstop at 100 miles per hour for over four years.

The first car insurance policy was issued in Westfield, Massachusetts, in 1897.
