Bob Seger - Detroit Made





Some people collect cars. I do too, but instead of restoring three to four thousand pounds of sheet metal, I collect videos for my driver's ed students.


More to come...Suggestions?

How about this adaptation from American Graffiti! Do you remember when we used to cruise the Ave?




Hot Rod Lincoln Originally released in 1960 by Charlie Ryan and the Timberline Riders. I like to show this version by Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen.



Elvis bought a Pink Cadillac for his mom. When I went to look up this tune, I found one by Jerry Lee Lewis and  one by Bruce Springsteen. So...why is the Cadillac black?




Low Rider has been used in 17 Films starting with Up In Smoke.






Freedom of the road...Born to be Wild!





Kinda like radar love?

How to Turn - Vision (the most important thing)



Every time I share this with my students, the light goes on. They've been looking down the hood with their parents trying to give instructions like turn more or turn less. If the student uses their eyes, they will be able to turn smoothly. If they bring their eyes up and look down the path of travel, the car will follow.

And what about Tailgating?
