ISIS, Ebola, mid-term elections, Europe, the new U2 album. You name it, there are tragedies everywhere and unless GM announces they just pre-sold 500,000 Chevy Volts it's probably going to take a market lift to take GM with it.

I hear that the 2015 Mercs are going to come with zooming mirrors so that they can make out how far behind the Ferraris are.

He probably comments on YouTube videos.

The Audi A4 Avant is gone, replaced by the awkward-looking, condescending Allroad. The BMW 5-Series wagon was unceremoniously dumped for the hideous 5-Series GT. The Subaru Forester and Outback are more crossover-like than ever before. The Acura TSX Sport Wagon died so the TLX sedan could live. We're waiting for a new…

That's not why this race should be cancelled, it should be cancelled because of Putin invading Ukraine.

I like how this guy can be in the middle of a war zone and still crack wise about the peppers.

If Jenson Button ends up without a ride, SOMEONE needs to hire him for a broadcast team. It would certainly be a loss for him to leave motorsport, but he is one of the best on camera personalities in the sport, has better technical and personal understanding of the modern cars, and knows the drivers.

The Drive-E Powertrain uses two parallel turbochargers which are fed by an electrically powered turbo-compressor.
