According to a new study by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety), front wheel drive cars have been shown to be safer than rear wheel drive cars. As a result, the federal government is banning the sale and manufacture of rear-wheel drive cars in the US.
Most of the American auto manufacturers are on board with this because there is little demand for rear-wheel drive vehicles outside pickup trucks. The ban is to affect all passenger vehicles and non-commercial trucks. The government is expected to receive little to no pushback on this issue because of all the data collected by the IIHS.
There is some public outrage from some small social groups, specifically the off-roading community. They have been the most outraged by this, claiming the government has it in for them and the future of the sport. This is a fringe group of outcasts and should not be taken seriously, as they are expected to die out before this ban is even in effect.
Also included in this ban are restrictions to after-market parts such as lift kits and emissions system removal. Examples of this include removal of the catalytic converter, removal of muffler bearings, replacement of the muffler with a non-stock part, replacement of wheels that raise the bumper height above a standard determined by vehicle weight, and many other common modifications.
These steps may seem severe, but it will save lives. At the end of the day, that's what really matters, being safe. What are your opinions? comment below.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
