10 Strange Car Facts to Discuss at a Dinner Party

3/1/2023

 
Did you know?
  • Recent studies say that those that sing in the car are safer drivers. They are less prone to fall asleep while at the wheel and singing a tune makes drivers feel calmer.
  • It would take six straight months of driving to get to the moon at a speed of 60 mph.
  • China holds the record for the longest traffic jam to date. In August 2010, the country experienced a traffic jam that spanned more than 62 miles and lasted 12 days. Just keep that in mind the next time you’re in a jam on I-4.
  • The very last car to be able to play cassettes was the 2011 Ford Crown Victoria.
  • Despite the small size of the country, Japan is responsible for the production of most of the world’s vehicles.
  • Ford started making planes in 1925, but Henry Ford gradually lost interest in plane production after his personal pilot was killed in a crash flying a Ford Flivver prototype monoplane in 1928.
  • When designing a new car from a blank sheet of paper, the first mark the engineers make on the page isn’t the location of the engine or the floor or the wheels, but the driver’s heels.
  • In Russia it’s considered a criminal offense to drive with a dirty car.
  • Jeep tried resurrecting faux wood paneling by offering it as a dealer-installed option on the first-generation Liberty. The “Woody” option didn’t go over well with consumers.
  • Speed and road death do not have as close of a correlation as you might think. Germany, where many major autobahns have no speed limits at all, has half the number of highway deaths as the United States.
