Driving across the 10th Avenue South bridge at about 9:20 this morning, the car in front of me – a sporty grey model – was driving a bit too close to the center (where the ice hadn’t been worn away by drivers), and sure enough, he lost control. He slid around in a complete 360, banged against the right side of the bridge, clipped another vehicle, then slid over to the left side of the bridge, facing forward, and...
Dianne Lorang was driving her scooter in the summer of 2007 when things took a turn for the worse: I was tooling around downtown Great Falls, Montana, when suddenly I knew I was going to get hit…It was definitely my fault. But I had done some things right. I wore a helmet, even though Montana does not require them. It took the brunt when breaking the windshield, and then again when my head hit the curb. I only saw...

The American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators just released the results of a nationwide survey that ranks Montana #5 in terms of vanity plate percentage. Ahead of us: Virginia, New Hampshire, Illinois, and Nevada; dead-last is Texas. And for some reason, as you may recall, I really get a kick out of the...
I love seeing customized “vanity” plates on Montana vehicles, so I finally created a blog to showcase them: Great Montana Plates! Some are funny, others are creative, and a few are just plain cryptic – but they are always fun to see and figure out!
Drove by a vehicle on 23rd Street on Saturday and noticed some writing on the windows. Turns out that owner is not happy with Bennett Motors and wants to tell everyone about it. click the pic to see the rest Please note that I do not know who owns the vehicle, I don’t know anything about what happened, and I have never dealt with Bennett Motors. I present these pictures only because it is rare for someone to air...
