I’ve never understood houseboats. Bad houses, worse boats. How many seemingly congruous combo "things" have ever been as good as their separate components? TV/VCR’s?

Start your survey of American "Most Dangerous Roads" with Forbes and their fine gallery, then go deep with MSN’s searchable database (excruciating demarcated by County), then move beyond the US with an International Top 5 starting with Bolivia’s "Road of Death", then check out USAToday’s seemingly well-researched but yet un-linked International Top 23, then move onto the hardcore knowledge…

Here’s yet another picture of yet another un-produced Corvette - far cooler than any Corvette ever actually built. Check out Winding Road’s post on the possibility of a mid-engined Corvette.

This can’t be real. CAN’T be. Does anyone know?
