I don’t have an answer, but my dad tells a great story about a Beetle in the ‘50s that was rear-ended by a big American sedan. The driver was then unable to open the engine cover/hood. Good times.

“I can only remember once in the past 8-9 years I’ve parked on the street”

I like Gumberts, but what kind of horrible photoshop is that?

My company (the one I work at; don’t own one) has a tradition of having new employees tell an embarrassing story at their first office meeting. They get to choose the level of embarrassment, of course, so we’ve heard everything from “I accidentally cut someone in line” to just about as embarrassing as you think is…

So Lambo will pay me to own it? Finally a Lambo I can afford!

Who said it was a problem?

Why is Audi’s design team copying Dodge wheels?

Having driven an Evora I can tell you it’s an intoxicating car. Perfectly balanced and designed to flow along a road while providing wonderful levels of feedback to the driver. Every review I’ve read of the Evora 400 says it’s even better than the original, so I ask: How did you manage to interpret the development of…
