Plus the Pakistan 8.0 earthquake and the Venezuela voting attacks this week.

News in Germany are this week only reporting horror stories; we got all the horrific disasters in the US covered plus 40 people being poisoned intentionally Tuesday through food, toxic letters being sent to American and German politicians yesterday (not related), and the attacks in Iraq on Monday just to name a few…

The Citroen GT Concept. Just listen to that sound and look at this beast:
An idling V8 from an old(er) Mustang or Camaro always sounds to me like it's about to stall.
In Germany, (small) streets outside of villages, sometimes even as 1 or 1 1/2 width-streets like these are always 100 km/h (62mph), and most people drive them with ~120km/h (75mph), straights often 140 km/h (87 mph). That's absolutely normal, there are few crashes and if there are, they are mostly when people avoid…
That's what I call asshat parking, just an hour ago.
Must be the ugliest, tiniest back wheels I've ever seen. Horrific. How can they be so small?!
So most posters believe they'll have infinite amounts of money once they only live on their pension, though that propably is the ideal of the best last car.
New Caddy is so bad, they think they'll have to make you drunk before seeing it.
In Germany, VW rather is the socialist's car - an unobstrusive, calm, reliable, cheap but boring car. Most cars here in northern Germany are VW's, with the older Polo or Golf as a cheap car for the youth and a new golf, golf plus or tiguan for old people with a clean and perfect small house. Local bank directors or…
BMW E90 with the Le Mans Racing Blue.
"Learning this technique, as I mentioned, is not only crucial for the racetrack, but it is imperative for the road; reaction times are everything when attempting to avoid a crash. Almost all accidents could be avoided if we had just one more second. Think about that. Just one more second. I’m not suggesting it takes a…
My guess is that it'll become what the M Division is to BMW or QUATTRO (RS/S) to Audi, and that there'll be a NISMO Package on any or most cars.
My favourite two occasions:
I drive a 2.5L (151 HP) TDI Multivan T4 with 310.000KM and counting. It seems like it never needs a repair.
Would look stupid if they put a gigantic "KOMPRESSOR" on the cars like Mercedes does, that doesn't match Audi's astethics. http://goo.gl/YPoIt though they could've called the car 3.0K .
Side looks like a simple Mercedes 2008/2012 C-class, back looks like any random boring and outdated 2001-2006 car in America, but DAMN DAT FRONT! It shows some similarities with current Mercedes with the aggressive, brute, edged and not softened nose and the slickly integrated edgy grille. The extra side panel on the…
I've been in a KZ a few years ago, when VW famously celebrated their 60 years jubilee (as if they only existed just after the war). Our guide remembered us of these celebrations and told us, that this KZ, Bergen-Belsen (well, it was an "Arbeitslager" or "Aufenthaltslager", as it wasn't designed for actively killing…
Here in Germany's rural areas, drivers of old Mercedes and sometimes Audi or BMW, but mostly Mercedes are farmers and always go exactly 70 km/h, no matter if it's a 50, 70, 100 km/h street or even unlimited (Autobahn).
