Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice.

Pay Attention.
There are plenty of distractions. And, you can almost always get away
with not giving the road your undivided attention. What worries us,
however, is that one time in 10 years, when one-tenth of second will
save you from plowing into the back of a tanker filled with spent
plutonium fuel rods--or worse, a minivan full of kids, possibly your
kids. Don't try to do several things at once. You're driving now. Other
people's lives depend on it.
What's the hurry? Slow down.
What's the worst that could possibly happen? You're late. Big deal.
What's the worst that can happen if you drive too quickly? You never get
there at all. We rest our case..
Leave enough stopping distance. That is, don't tailgate.
Keep your car in good working order.
Think you can handle any contingency? Great! But, if you break down on
the Interstate during rush hour... you're going to be selfishly
inconveniencing a lot of other folks, too. Even if you don't break down,
seemingly minor problems like broken tail lights and poorly aligned
headlights can leave a trail of havoc in your wake.
Practice for dangerous conditions.
Not used to driving in snowy or icy conditions? Not many people are.
And a little practice can pay humungous dividends when the time comes.
Our advice? The next time your local Wal-Mart has an icy, snowy or wet
parking lot... drop by late at night and practice turning out of a skid,
braking and generally getting the feel of those conditions. And
remember this: If you have four-wheel drive, it's not going to help you
stop! It only helps you go.
Is getting to work on time really that important?
We've noticed an interesting phenomenon. People drive far more
recklessly when driving to and from work than they do at other times. Do
you? 
Sleepy? Pull over.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that sleepiness
while driving contributes to more than 100,000 crashes a year.
The solution is simple: Don't push yourself. If you're tired, your
reactions are even worse than you realize. Pull over immediately and get
some sleep.
One other tip: Never use the cruise control if you are the least
bit tired. If you fall asleep at the wheel with the cruise on, you'll
be in the obits before you can say, "Sharp corner with precipice."
Be courteous, It won't kill you. In fact, you might even feel good about yourself. Remember the analogy about walking on the sidewalk. 
Forgive others their transgressions.
The simple fact is, if we want to reduce road rage, it has to stop
somewhere. Our advice? Keep your hand off the horn, and keep your
fingers in perfect alignment. Not convinced? Remember this: He could
have a gun.
Don't be a vigilante.
Spot a really crazy driver? Let the police deal with him. Don't let
your emotions get the better of you. If he's driving like a maniac...
chances are he is a maniac. Do you want to end up by the side of the
road, in a fist fight with a guy who has the brain the size of a peanut
and enough testosterone coursing through his veins to kill a horse? Of
course not! Try to get his plate number, pull over to the side of the
road and tell the cops
