Watch what happens.

All the funniest and dumbest car crashes, mishaps and mistakes. Just don’t try any of this at home.

One is the fastest way around a corner, but the other is the fastest way around the track. Car Science looks at which works best – and why.

Cast members Owen Wilson, Eddie Izzard, Emily Mortimer and Larry the Cable Guy talk about their first cars, passing their driving test and what it was like to work on Cars 2.

My enthusiasm quickly evaporated, however, when I actually started poring through the classifieds and realised the whole thing was going to cost me a substantial amount of cash.I also became terrified of getting stiffed by some crisp-collared sales-jerk or a bunch of snakes in a floral-print dress disguised as a sweet old lady.Since then, I have resorted to that special trick we all employ when we fail at something - pretending everything worked out for the best.These days, I get to tell all my iron horse-owning friends how they’re all chumps because not owning a car is actually fantastic.It makes me feel like the modern equivalent of the explorers of yore as I walk places and occasionally stop because it’s too hot or I’ve spotted money on the ground.To be honest, I casually tell them, the fact that other people already own cars really puts me off them.When I was 17, I crashed into some sort of charity van because I was distracted by one of those costumed Eagle Boys “pizza deal” sign-waving people. What’s to stop some thin’n'crispy-fiend from ploughing into my vehicle in a similar manner?On a side note, the van wasn’t full of puppies or anything, just food for the homeless. Statistically, if you never drive, you’re less likely to die behind the wheel - unless you get stabbed behind a ferris wheel. That happens occasionally. There’s also a reduced risk of losing a high-stakes race in an abandoned aqueduct.It’s also worth noting that my carbon footprint is tiny. By the time I’m 35, I’ll have an entire Amazon-worth of carbon credits stored up, which will come in handy if I ever need to dump a barrel-load of toxic waste in the woods or drive a Hummer.And look, I really don’t mind catching the train. It doesn’t matter that it’s unjustifiably expensive and endlessly draws money from me like the giant, soul-eating metal leech that is.Public transport gives me something to complain about every day, which the voices in my head tell me is a vital part of sanity retention. You have your “engine troubles” and I’ve got my “56-year-old man playing Celine Dion too loud”. The whole process gives me an extra 30 minutes each day to judge people.In the meantime, can one of you give me a lift home real quick? Thanks heaps. I’ll owe you one.Read Jason Tin’s full story on Punch.
