By Justin Hyde Watch An Icy 20-Car Pileup As It HappensOne might think that residents of Colorado Springs, Colo., might be among the most experienced in the country when it comes to winter weather driving. This video of a 20-car pileup Thursday afternoon as it happened suggests otherwise. We've seen it before: Even a small amount of ice on a slight hill can make a road impassable by any vehicle, even with the best four-wheel-drive setup. What's impressive here are the sheer numbers of drivers who keep trying despite the crinkled machinery and gawkers on the side of the road, including the massive Ford Super Duty pickup at about six minutes in. Sorry, Colorado Springs insurance adjusters, your New Year's holiday just got cancelled. (H/T to Tyler!) [Ian Smith via Facebook] | December 31st, 2010 Top Stories |

Xzibit: "Pimp My Ride Made Me Broke"
By Matt Hardigree Xzibit: "Pimp My Ride Made Me Broke"Alvin Joiner, a.k.a. Xzibit, a.k.a. recursive Internet meme guy, owes nearly $1 million in delinquent federal taxes. His excuse for not paying them? The cancellation of Pimp My Ride. Seriously. The rapper-turned-actor-turned-host-turned-tax-evader has declared bankruptcy twice since 2009 and had both bankruptcies dismissed according to Tax Watchdog. Halfway through last year he had assets of approximately $739,433 but owed more than $1.4 million. His claim that cancellation of the show that made him famous is behind his financial problems doesn't appear to be entirely untrue, as his records indicate he made $497,175 for headlining Pimp My Ride in 2007 and the next year, after the show was canceled, only made a paltry $67,510. The most interesting revelation from his tax records? He didn't own a car while hosting the show. He was leasing a 2006 Range Rover for $2,230 a month. Bad Xzibit, imagine what the guys in the shop could have done with a 1986 Range Rover you bought for $2,230. | December 30th, 2010 Top Stories |
