Welcome to the weird corner of Cars & Sports Club. If you love oddball facts, quirky incidents, and downright bizarre moments in the world of cars and sports, you’re in the right place. Below you’ll find a collection of posts that stick out because they’re just plain strange.
One of the strangest topics we cover is how long you should test drive a car. Most people think 15 minutes is enough, but one writer argues for a full hour just to warm up the engine. The post mixes humor with genuine advice, reminding you that a longer drive can reveal hidden quirks before you sign the contract.
Another curious article dives into what happens to test‑drive cars after their moment in the spotlight. Contrary to the myth that they’re tossed aside, many end up sold as low‑price used cars, leased to customers, or even kept as loaners for service bays. It’s a practical look at a process many buyers never consider.
Ever wondered if a brand‑new car becomes “used” after a single test drive? We’ve got a short but clear answer: it stays new, even if the odometer ticks a few miles. The post explains why a brief spin doesn’t affect resale value and how to check the mileage before you buy.
And for the daring: a story about a test‑drive crash. It’s a reminder that even a short, supervised drive can go wrong if you’re reckless or the car has a hidden fault. The writer shares the fallout – repair bills, trust issues, and the importance of driving responsibly.
Switching gears to sports, we’ve covered the removal of Bethpage Black’s iconic “WARNING – The Black Course Is An Extremely Difficult Course” sign before the 2025 Ryder Cup. The sign was taken down to make room for a new grandstand, but the course’s brutal layout stayed the same. It’s a perfect example of how tradition can clash with modern upgrades.
In another oddball piece, we explore why cars in Disney’s Cars movies all have numbers. The numbers aren’t just for fun; they give each character a unique identity and sometimes hide a reference, like the number 95 that nods to the film’s release year. It’s a subtle detail that adds depth for keen eyes.
Ever heard of a spring‑loaded car? One article explains why the idea sounds cool but is impractical. The extra weight, safety concerns, and high manufacturing costs make it a non‑starter for today’s vehicles. Still, the concept sparks imagination about futuristic transport.
Finally, we’ve got a quirky golf story that reads like a movie plot: the legendary warning sign at Bethpage Black disappearing for a grandstand, yet the course’s difficulty remaining untouched. It shows how some challenges stay the same, no matter how much the surrounding scenery changes.
These weird stories prove that the automotive and sports worlds are full of surprises. Whether you’re looking for a laugh, a lesson, or just something you’ve never heard before, our “weird” tag has it all. Dive in, explore, and enjoy the odd side of everything we love about cars and sports.
