World's Most Dangerou's Roads: Trollstigen Road in Norway

In Norway there is a road alongside a 1050-foot Stigfossen waterfall that contains 11 hairpin turns at grades of up to 9 percent. If this wasn't enough to deter the lucid driver, each turn takes you higher and high up the mountain pass until you reach 2,790-feet. Also known as the "Troll's Way" by locals, this dangerous stretch of serpentine road is not one I suggest trying with.

Three Fall Car Care Tips

Don't let your vehicle be ill prepared for the fall and winter weather. Check out the tips below to make sure your vehicle stays in proper working order until spring.

1. While it is rare that your vehicles cabin will fill with deadly exhaust fumes, it is also good to have your vehicles exhaust system checked for any problems or leaks. Also, be sure a mechanic checks the vehicles floor boards and trunk for any small holes that could fuel the fumes. 

2.  A major item that can be left unchecked until disaster strikes is your vehicles transmission. Before going off on a long winter road trip, be sure your vehicle has had routine checks and fluid changes at the correct times to prevent any costly damage.  

3. During the fall and winter months, driving along icy roads and in snow can get extremely dangerous. In order to prevent yourself from getting stuck in a tough spot be sure your vehicle is always equipped with an emergency kit which includes: gloves, boots, blankets, flares, a small shovel, sand or kitty litter, tire chains, a flashlight, extra batteries, a cell phone, and an extra car charger. Also it's a good idea to keep a few “high-energy” snacks in your glove box.

Concept Car Spotlight: The Honda Gear

Released at the Montreal Auto Show in 2012, The Honda Gear concept car is the perfect vehicle for Generation Y. Inspired by fixed-gear bicycles, this youth-oriented Honda Concept was designed to provide a sleek, simple design at an affordable price. The Gear concept isn't just a sub-compact concept vehicle, but provides a whole new way of looking at this type of vehicle for the younger generation. 

"Subcompact cars are usually either utilitarian, but uninspiring or they’re fun, zippy cars that are impractical and too expensive for the Gen-Y buyer," said Dave Marek, Design Director at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. "GEAR Concept tears down those walls – it’s practical but fun, customizable, connected and affordable. Everything that young, discerning urban buyers would want in a car."
