An annual ranking of the most accident-prone drivers has pegged Worcester and Boston, MA motorists as the worst in the country among large urban centers. 

I tagged along for a two legs of MINI Takes the States, an epic cross-country road rally that’s put on by the company. I participated in just two sections of this continent-spanning trip, but that was still enough for me to experience four Midwestern states and some 700 miles of America. But there’s much more to than this event than just the sliver I experienced.

Once again MINI and its legions of enthusiasts are going all the way, traversing the US of A by driving from sea to shining sea. The iconic British brand is celebrating summer with a cross-country road trip and you’re invited to participate.

A courageous Mercedes-Benz ML350 owner and the vehicle’s mbrace system should be receiving some thanks for helping kick off the search for the Boston bombing suspects nearly two weeks ago.

NPR’s comic car show Car Talk will  be off the air after 25 years of chatty advice at the end of this September according to the show’s two hosts.

Are you a Bostonian who hates potholes? There’s an app for that, or at least there will be soon. The city is behind a new app for Android called Street Bump which addresses the problem.
