As Spring thankfully approaches, it’s not uncommon to see long lines at the local car wash as soon as the sun has been shining for over five consecutive minutes.  Besides dealing with those long lines, the price for washing your car seems to be rising with the price of gas.  How to avoid these costs and still end up with a gleaming automobile?  Park it next to this train station….especially during a flood. 

It seems that the people in this video are ok with the five second bath they receive as well, as surprisingly few of them run for cover as the tidal wave created by the slow moving train approaches.  Hopefully, nobody left their sun roof open, or at least had good car insurance to cover any damage that may have been done by the railroad-inspired flash flood.

Whether you are a passionate gamer, or a noob, we have all been exposed to some kind of video game in the past decade. Yahoo recently put together a list of the top best video/computer games of all time.

So you’re asking, who had the best video game of the decade? Believe it or not, but Grand Theft Auto III developed by Rockstar Games has won the award! Yahoo describes its success, “The dirty, unforgiving nature of Liberty City forever altered the gaming landscape, introducing gamers to the concept of 'open-world' design while permanently raising the bar for mature storytelling.” Check out the entire list, http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/top-10-games-of-the-decade/.

Maybe SafeAuto will even create a game of their own in the future. I wonder how Justin Case would face up in the gaming world? Only time will tell. Submit your comments below if you have any suggestions!

Just in time for the Oscars comes this British public safety ad.  While at first it may seem a little overdramatic, the point is quickly driven home by some nifty camera work.  Written and directed by Daniel Cox (yes that Daniel Cox), the message focuses on family, safety, and well, the safety your family can provide when acting as a human seatbelt.

Justin Case recently attended Galveston, Texas’ Krewe Babalu Parade. He joined Houston’s 39 News channel to ride in the Mardi Gras parade in Galveston Friday night along with Brian from Family Guy.

The well-known event included many different floats and local marching bands. Justin snapped photos with several fans and waved hello to crowds in the thousands. Great food, entertainment, live bands and of course, bead throwing were all part of this exciting night’s festivities.

Although this year reported to have smaller crowds due to the colder temperatures, fans still showed up in the thousands to celebrate the second weekend of Mardi Gras on the island. The SafeAuto and 39 News crews bundled up to join in all of the excitement the parade had to offer as it made its way through the historic streets of downtown Galveston.

Justin also found time to sit down with Houston’s renowned Mia Gradney for an interview. They discussed the parade and what it was like play “Justin Case.”

SafeAuto’s participation in the event proved to be very successful. SafeAuto is very excited to partake in this event in the upcoming years. Visit Justin’s Facebook page for a complete gallery of photos from the event, http://www.facebook.com/SafeAutoJustinCase.

When bad weather hits the highways, a life-size domino effect plays out, and unfortunately everybody loses.  Check out these pics from KansasCity.com of the highway you would most like to avoid this morning.  A pileup this massive has only been rivaled by the accidents on the restarts of yesterdays Daytona 500.  No word on whether a pothole was to blame.   Hopefully, the drivers had good insurance, as this is a mess that will require a lot of information exchanges.
