There are numerous persons who swear that city driving is better than highway driving. We like to call these humans ill-informed. City driving is quintessentially bad for your vehicle because there is a lot of stop and go. When you stop and go while you’re in your car, it is in general not as great for your car. The continuous decelerating down and speeding up puts a lot of pressure on your brakes to perform, and over time, this motion will wear out your brakes entirely.
When I was in college, I has a little Nissan Altima. At the time, it was only a year old. However, I noticed that the breaks wore out almost altogether when I was half way through my freshman year. The way it manifested itself was that I noticed my brakes pulsing whenever I would slow down. Over time, this problem got worse, and when I drove home to New York and took my car in to get the oil changed, the mechanic came back and told me that my brakes were 80 percent worn through. The bottom line was that I was driving very dangerously.
When it comes to your brakes, you don’t want to mess around. I was driving on brakes that were dangerously thin and could have contributed to me getting into a major accident. On the interstate, the posted speed limit was 70 miles per hour. Most vehicles on the highway were going at least 80. It made me shudder to think when it comes to the future prospects or potentials of what would take place if my brakes had gone out while I was driving. City driving puts a lot more wear and tear on your vehicle because there are a lot more things to react to such as pedestrians, animals, traffic lights and signs, and of course- other drivers.
Highway driving is in general better for your car because you may quintessentially driver for long stretchings at a time without a break in traffic. Obviously, the less you have to stop, the less you’ll use your brakes, which means that you’ll preserve them longer. Additionally, you likewise save your tires the wear and tear because you’re not having to stop as much. Of course, you still run the risk of getting into a car accident while driving on highways, and because the rate of speed at which you are traveling is specifically higher than that of city driving, you are likewise at more of a risk for getting into a severe accident that would cause you to put sudden wear on your vehicle. For example, if you are journeying at 75 miles per hour on a highway when you are all of a sudden forced to slam on your brakes, probabilities are you’ll not only put wear on your tires by sliding to a stop, but you’ll also put wear on your brake pads.
Driving is better if you may keep away from stoplights and traffic. However, most people don’t live in a country or a city where that is a possibility. Just look at people who live in major cities like Atlanta, New York and Detroit. Despite the fact that there is mass transportation, there is still a majority of humans who have to take their cars to get to work as well as other places. Just know that the way in which you drive will dictate how long your car will last. If you plan on having your car last a long time, then you need to make sure that you are driving your car accordingly.

 Another Winner!…
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein
50 DRIVE-IN MOVIE CLASSICS is yet another public domain movie bonanza! It’s a mixed bag of hits, misses, and total duds! Still, most are a blast to watch, and cost so much less than other releases of the same movies that it’s worth the cheap price! This collection contains nudity, gore, sick humor, etc., and well deserves it’s R-rating! Now, to the movies! I’ll review ‘em in the order they appear and use “*” for stars. THE DEVIL W/ SEVEN FACES- *** Carrol Baker is a woman plagued by the thieving partners of her twin sister. A nice twist ending you’ll see coming for miles! TWISTER’S REVENGE- ** (This is on my copy instead of FIEND) A monster-truck w/ artificial intelligence helps it’s driver defeat the crooks who want to steal it. Pretty dumb, but fun enough. DAY OF THE PANTHER- *** Aussie kung-fu! Ed Stazak is the fu master, out to get a druglord. Features a kung-fu fighting guy in a pig mask w/ a machette! How can you lose?? CREEPER (AKA: RITUALS)- **** Hal Holbrook stars as a doctor who goes camping w/ a group of other doctors in the deep woods, only to be stalked by a crazed murderer! Excellent! COUNT DRACULA AND HIS VAMPIRE BRIDE (aka: SATANIC RITES OF DRACULA)- **** Christopher Lee is Drac and Peter Cushing is Van Helsing in this mod 70s vampire epic. The Count wants to wipe out mankind w/ a super-plague! Also stars AB FAB’s Joanna Lumley! Watch for the nekkid sacrifice too! COUNTRY BLUE- *** Hillbillies run amok in this southern fried cops ‘n’ robbers saga! Dub Taylor’s in it as well. GOING STEADY- ** Somewhat humorous, yet boring little tale of teens in 1950s Tel Aviv. Sort of PORKY’S in Israel! Contains nudity galore! MAD DOG (aka: BEAST WITH A GUN)- **** Helmut Berger is sleazebag, escaped convict Nanni Vitally in this bloody, rape-filled extravaganza of trashiness! He’s vengeful and deadly! I WONDER WHO’S KILLING HER NOW?- * Horrible, dull, “comedy” about a guy trying to collect on his wife’s life insurance. Ugg! SAVAGE WEEKEND- *** A masked murderer is on the loose! Deaths ensue. William Sanderson is a wacked out sort of guy, but is he the killer? Good stuff! BLACK HOOKER- ** Depressing tale of a mixed up kid who longs for his prostitute mum’s love, only to be rejected by her and everyone else. Lots of nudity, rape, etc. JIVE TURKEY- *** OK story about black hoods against italian mobsters. Check out the transvestite assassin w/ the killer heels! ABSOLUTION- **** Richard Burton is a priest in a catholic boys’ school who finds himself caught up in a psychotic game of death after he tells his class about the absolute secrecy of confession. Great! BREAKOUT FROM OPPRESSION- *** A woman is stalked and tormented by someone after being released from prison. Interesting and different. CREEPERS (aka: PHENOMENA)- **** A shortened version of Argento’s classic. A young girl (Jennifer Connelly) who can psychically communicate w/ insects teams up w/ an entimologist (Donald Pleasance) to catch a serial-killer. Awesome! DON’T OPEN ‘TIL CHRISTMAS- *** Someone’s killing people who are dressed as Santa! Includes a urinal-side castration scene! Yikes! SNOWBEAST- *** Clint Walker, Bo Svenson, and Yvette Mimeau track down a murderous yeti at a ski resort. HORROR OF THE ZOMBIES- * Those rickety-skeleton templar monks are back. This time, some tasty fashion models are on the menu! Watch for the ship of doom (a toy boat that bobs along in someone’s bathtub)! Hilarious! MAMA DRACULA- A good idea gone bad. Louise Fletcher is the queen of the damned, looking for virgins’ blood to bath in. Alas, there just aren’t as many virgins nowadays! This one would have been better if about 45 mins had been lopped off! MURDER MANSION- ** A group of travelers end up in a mansion surrounded by fog. A witch lives there, and mayhem ensues. The twist ending is not so good! TRAUMA- *** Schoolgirls are being murdered! They all have a connection to a horrible past event. Lots of nudity and a rather disturbing premise! UNSANE (aka: TENEBRES)- **** Yep, another Argento gem! Tony Franciosa is a writer of violent thrillers who has a killer using his books as a blueprint for murder! Bloody! VENGEANCE OF THE ZOMBIES- *** Paul Naschy plays a dual role as a wimpy mystic and his evil twin brother. The evil Paul is raising dead women from the grave to exact revenge on his enemies. These babes look more like Manson gals than zombies! VOODOO BLACK EXORCIST- ** Folks on a cruiseship are haunted by a mummy. So-so at best. Gets an extra star for the fire-eating bellydancer! Rowwrr! IN HOT PURSUIT (aka: POLK COUNTY POT PLANE)- ** It’s Cheech and Chong meets Smokey And The Bandit, as hillbilly hippies smuggle pot. Car chases galore! Cheap and cheesy! SHOCK- **** Vincent Price is a doctor who murders his wife. He is witnessed by a woman who goes into shock because of it, and becomes his next patient! INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS (aka: GRAVEYARD TRAMPS)- ***** Men are dying from a love overload as Anitra Ford (Messiah Of Evil) leads her swarm of Bee girls on a mating rampage! Stick around for the ultra-sticky marshmallow cream sequence! Great heavenly days! Loads of nude bodies in this masterpiece! KATIE’S PASSION- **** This early Paul Verhoven effort is about a girl who is forced into prostitution in order to survive. It’s a good movie w/ one scene that shocked even me! I’ll never look at shadow puppets the same way again! THE WEREWOLF VS. VAMPIRE WOMAN- *** Paul Naschy gets hairy and seeks someone to release him from his curse. He needs a silver cross that is located in the heart of the witch / vampire queen! The battle is short and at the very end of the movie! SPARE PARTS- *** A young couple is rudely interupted during their honeymoon when a gang of organ thieves kidnaps the husband! DEATH BY DIALOGUE- * Awful, direct-to-video abomination about a haunted movie script. Pitiful! LEGACY OF BLOOD- *** John Carradine is barely in this film as a “dead” guy w/ a useless family of letches. He’ll give them his inheritence only if they stay a week in his mansion. Faith Demergue (This Island Earth) and Jeff Morrow (Kronos) co-star. THE MANIPULATOR- ** Mickey Rooney jumps, dances, screams, emotes, and kills Keenan Wynn in this psychedelic / psychopathic story about an ex-make-up man gone bananas! Rooney is frightening at times (not in a good way)! Luanne Anders (Dementia 13, Night Tide) is along for the manic ride! THROW OUT THE ANCHOR!- *** G-rated family fare about an oddball collection of people trying to save a cove from developers. Dina Merrill was still hot in her 40s! NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR- ***** Oh my! An anthology of truncated movies w/ hideous 80′s music segments and a God / Satan philosophical debate holding them together! You get mutilations by hacksaw, nazis, electrocutions, claymation demons, a giant blood-sucking fly, and Richard Moll as a sadistic maniac! A must see! THE GUY FROM HARLEM- * The mountainous afros and plaid polyester suits can’t save this toilet raft! Dull to the point of agony! DON’T LOOK IN THE BASEMENT- **** The new nurse is in for a surprise! The mental hospital she’s just started working for has undergone some drastic changes recently! Vats of blood and neggidness! PRISONER OF THE LOST UNIVERSE- ** Even Kay Lenz and John Saxon can’t save this sci-fi elephant tranquilizer! RATTLERS- *** Chemicals dumped in the desert have turned harmless rattlesnakes into manhunting killers! OK. SAVAGE JOURNEY- * Dull portrayal of history of the mormon church. Richard Moll plays Joseph Smith. ISLAND MONSTER- *** Boris Karloff is either a kindly doctor or a homicidal drug smuggler. Better than I expected. BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE- **** One of my favorite Corman productions! Made for no money at all, and yet it holds up as a good monster movie! THE FIRING LINE- * RAMBO / MISSING IN ACTION clone w/ lots of gunfire and explosions, but no real characters to actually care about! Abysmal! Shannon Tweed’s in it, but don’t get your hopes up! TREASURE OF TAYOPA- *** Treasure hunters in mexico encounter tragedy when one of their party turns out to be a murderous lunatic! THE LAZARUS SYNDROME- ** Louis Gossett jr. is a cardiologist in this long forgotten TV pilot. It’s not bad, but leads nowhere since the show never materialized. PRIME TIME (aka: AMERICAN RASPBERRY)- ***** This movie is worth the price of this entire collection! In the tradition of THE GROOVE TUBE, KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIE, and TUNNELVISION, PRIME TIME is better than any of these! Someone has taken control of our tv sets, showing outrageous programming w/ such shows as: “Poodles For Christ” and “The Sexual Deviants Telethon”! There are many, many more, even more insane and hysterically funny shows! If you liked National Lampoon magazine in it’s 70s hayday, then you’ll love this! THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT- * A home movie w/ terrible voice-overs! Wretched cess! SLAVE OF THE CANNIBAL GOD- **** Ursula Andress and Stacey Keach lead a rescue team deep into the south american jungles to find Ms. Andress’ husband. Uh-oh! Those pesky cannibals await! This is the cut version w/ limited animal deaths and nudity. Alas, Ursula’s infamous scene has been clipped! The movie itself is still worth watching though. TNT JACKSON- *** TNT is out to avenge her brother’s death. Her stunt-double will stop at nothing to achieve revenge! Contains the topless karate scene! WOMEN OF DEVIL’S ISLAND- *** Women look for gold and get tortured. A “reformer” arrives on the notorious isle. However, he has a secret! Pretty decent. Alright, That’s the lot! I highly recommend this collection. Enjoy…

On a bit of a different note..
By K. Rowley
Not really going to talk about how “cheesy” some of these films are – “Drive-In Movie Classics” pretty much sums it up and that is what you get.

 DRIVE_IN MOVIE CLASSICS
By Randy Gravley
I like the movies but I didn’t like the mill creek entertainment logo that comes up 3 or 4 times on the screen when your watching a movie.I own all the 50 packs and no other pack has this annoying logo that comes up except this one and DARK CRIMES.IF i had knew this i would have never bought these two.If you don’t mind logo coming up 3 or 4 times on the screen when your watching a movie then buy this.
