Halsey Ave. residents want speed bumps installed to combat ‘dangerous' driving
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — Some residents on Halsey Avenue in Huntsville say speeding on their street has become a big issue. Now, they're petitioning the City of Huntsville to install speed cushions to slow down drivers. Longtime resident Gail Lee told News 19, 'we've had some near misses on this street.' ALEA warning public of 'Alabama DMV' scam texts Halsey Avenue doesn't have sidewalks, so people who are taking a stroll or walking their pets have to do so on the edge of the road. Lee said she's concerned that one of these days a speeding driver might hit someone. 'That'd be all she wrote,' she said. Lee told News 19 that she's brought her concerns to the City of Huntsville multiple times in recent years. She said a few years back, the Traffic Engineering Department conducted a traffic survey. She said the results were eye opening. Protecting yourself from skin cancer and the sun's lasting effects 'The average speed of the vehicles was 38 miles an hour' Lee said. 'This is a 25 mile an hour zone.' After that, the City of Huntsville installed speed radar signs. However, Lee said, in her opinion, that they are no longer an effective deterrent for drivers. 'It helped for a little while, until I think people realized, it ain't doing nothing' Lee said. Decatur City Council unanimously approves hire of deputy chief after adding position While News 19 was on scene Monday afternoon gathering video, one driver set off the speed radar going 55 miles per hour, before slowing down. Lee told News 19 that she'd like speed cushions to be installed, so drivers are forced to slow down. She recently started a petition to make that happen and went door to door in her neighborhood collecting signatures. 'I had nobody refuse to sign it,' she said. 'Everybody was a 'yes, we're ready for it'.' In order to be considered, the City of Huntsville requires that 75% of residents are in favor of the petition, before it can be approved. Lee said when she hand delivered the petition to the Traffic Engineering Department on Friday, she was told that the city would need to notify 9 residents who didn't participate in the petition. Lee said she feels like the department is understanding where the residents are coming from. 'I think we are all so glad that the city has finally recognized that we have a problem and I hope that they want to fix it,' she said. Lee said that while slowing down may seem inconvenient, it could save lives. 'Nobody likes speed bumps, I mean, I don't like them, but if it will slow one person down, if it will save one person's life, one pets life, one child's life or one old person's life that maybe has stumbled and fell, I mean, it would be worth it to me' she said. 'It's worth it to save somebody.' She said she understands that the City of Huntsville has a process for safety improvements like these, but that she hopes they can find room in the budget to improve safety for residents. Also on Monday, the Huntsville Police Department announced a 'summer slowdown' campaign urging drivers to 'be more aware and slow down.' HPD noted that people need to be especially cautious on 'city streets, neighborhoods where people are out walking, biking and driving.' According to the Huntsville Police Department, speeding is a problem city-wide. HPD revealed that there have been 12 fatal crashes this year, with speed being a 'primary or contributing' factor. HPD told News 19 that between January and May of this year, it issued 2,625 citations and 1,641 written warnings for people exceeding the speed limit by at least 10 mph. 'Enforcement alone won't solve the problem,' HPD Chief Kirk Giles said. 'We must engage with our community to educate drivers on the real risks of speeding, from deadly crashes to the financial and legal consequences they will face' he added.

This Jaguar E-Type Restomod Hides a V-12 Secret
The E-Type is one of Jaguar's most iconic vehicles. Production lasted from 1961 to 1974, spanning three generations. These days, the E-Type is a prime candidate for the restomod treatment; buyers who want the Jag's iconic looks with a modern powertrain and technology. ECD Automotive Design in Florida is no stranger to the E-Type—hell, they shoved a small-block V-8 into one . The shop's latest creation, the Jaguar E-Type GTO, is a stunning one-off that exemplifies the best of what the iconic sports car had to offer, albeit modernized. Photo by: ECD Auto Design Under the long hood is a rebuilt Series III V-12 engine from Team CJ in Austin, Texas. The upgraded engine features a new fuel injection and cooling system developed by ECD. That engine makes more than 400 horsepower, and the car features a custom cradle and axle that seamlessly integrates the engine with the Series II chassis. Stopping the sleek Jag, with its Series I-inspired exterior, are six-piston front and four-piston rear brakes, which hide behind 15-inch custom Turrino wheels. The GTO also has a fully adjustable ride height and damping. Vintage Looks, Modern Tech Inside, ECD conceals an array of modern amenities behind the vintage cabin, which is covered in a variety of toggle switches and physical controls. The interior features Spinneybeck Lucente Hercules leather seats, a brushed aluminum dash, and Moal Bomber gauges. However, despite the old-school look, this Jaguar comes with a Bluetooth-compatible radio, heated seats, USB charging, automatic headlights, and power locks. What more do you need with the V-12 engine and a five-speed manual? Photo by: ECD Auto Design Photo by: ECD Auto Design Photo by: ECD Auto Design The car is finished in metallic British Racing Green paint, which is the perfect color to combine with the rich, brown interior and yellow fog lights. The car has functional louvers and bullet mirrors that add even more style to the already great-looking Jaguar. And even though it's an open-top grand tourer, ECD did build a custom removable hardtop, so it's suitable for any weather. If you were hoping to get your hands on this particular car, we've got bad news: ECD is only making one of them. It's called the Bridgewater Commission, and it was designed and built specifically for a private client. That also means we don't know how much it costs. That said, the company does offer a wide variety of other restomod options , ranging from E-Types and Mustangs to Land Rover Defenders. 36 Source: ECD Auto Design Here's More Jaguar: New Jaguar Registrations Were Hilariously Low Last Month This Jaguar E-Type Restomod Does the Original Proud Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use .

'I Haven't Seen This Car Before:' Mechanic Works on Customer's Ford. Then He Takes a Closer Look at the Windshield Sticker
One mechanic is about to change the oil on his new customer's Ford when he takes a closer look at a sticker on the windshield. With nearly 20,000 miles between oil changes, is this Ford a ticking time bomb, or is it a simple case of a forgetful technician? TikTok user Rotor Lathe (@ posted his discovery on Thursday. In the video, he revealed a new customer who brought their car in for an oil change. "Oil change sticker says 12/19/23 at 16,000, roughly," he said. "And we've got 35,013 miles on this car. I can only imagine what this oil is going to look like." Clearly, Lathe intended the video as a sincere PSA, but the internet pointed out another possibility (as it always does). "Hear me out," wrote one viewer. "Could it be possible that the customer has had their oil changed but nobody put a sticker on it?" Someone else noted the cliffhanger with sarcasm. "I love the part where you show us the oil," they wrote. "They could have done [the oil change] themselves in between," suggested another person. "Just bought a '93 Blazer and the sticker says '08... Still has a few hundred miles to go," wrote someone else. How Many Oil Changes Did the Customer Miss? Let's take the sticker at face value and assume that the Ford's owner drove the car without an oil change for approximately 19,000 miles. If you accept AAA's general advice and change your oil every 3,000-5,000 miles, it means this car owner might've skipped out on three or four oil changes. How Bad Is This On the Car Maintenance Neglect Scale? According to the folks on this Reddit thread posted to r/cars three years ago, it's high up there. The original poster said they drove 17,000 miles in a 1986 Honda CRX Si. "Drove 45,000 miles a year 95 percent on the highway, so at least the miles were easy..." the Redditor wrote. In the comments, a user wrote, "There's a guy on the Civicx forum right now who went 20,000 miles on his tuned Si, without an oil change. His engine is [ruined] and he's getting cooked by the members lol." Someone else wrote, "25,000 miles. My fault, but only because I didn't know any better. I knew it needed maintenance, but didn't know anything about it. It wasn't until I got my first oil change and looked at the little sticker in the corner of the window that showed 'next change in 3,000 miles.' Oops." Motor1 reached out to Lathe via TikTok for comment. It reached out to Ford via email. They responded with sound advice. The Ford representative said, "Customers should read their owner's manual for information about maintenance intervals."
