Anyone who has been driving long enough has felt like the lone sane driver in a sea of maniacs. In one study proving our tendency to overestimate our own driving ability, 70.1% of motorists reported that they were better-than-average drivers – a statistical improbability.

Outside of data on extreme events like car accidents and drunk driving fatalities, there is little data available to assess the day-to-day behaviors of the average motorist – and how they may vary across the country.

Was your vehicle flooded? Here's what to do before and after the storm

The exhibition needs to be seen to be believed: metal figures made entirely from reconstructed cars in a massive warehouse space. Bumpers, brakes wheels — all of these auto parts have been transformed into steel statues. Some are stunning, and others are slightly scary, but all are must-see pieces of modern art.

We get a lot of questions about where the cars end up after our buyers have paid for them and towed them away. Sometimes, our fine four-fendered friends are crushed up into steel squares, other times they’re fixed up and re-sold. Sometimes they’ll be parted out, but what happens to the parts that make no sense to re-sell? Do they just sit on the side of the road or in a junk yard until they disintegrate? Or does someone so awesomely creative it’s mind blowing come along and make their mark?
