Don't give your keys to morons, especially not your '67 Shelby Cobra keys...

http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2007/08/video-woman-crashes-67-shelby-cobra.html

Notice the wet roads, the repeated tire squeals, and obvious 'imbecile behind the wheel' clues, and yet the owner never went over and stopped the driver. Idiots all the way around.

Amusing story I heard on KGB

A dad gives his daughter a full size Mercedes, about 6 years old.

She comes home from school the next day complaining that her new gift is too "stodgy", not as cool as the Porche's and BMW's her classmates and friends drive.

Her dad mulls it over and asks her if she too has to ride in a $150,000 dollar vehicle to be cool, and hip.

She immmediately gushes yes, how cool dad is, etc etc. He tells her she'll be riding in one before class the next morning. She goes off incredibly happy.

Dad goes and buys her a bus pass.

Moral of the story? Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Strange concept: unless you've owned an old VW, it'll be new to you

I just learned that pre-80's VW's used the spare tire in the luggage compartment to pressurize the windshield washer fluid. So did 75 Porche 914.

The britains will put in the market this new model in the early 2008. This car is the one that James Bond used in "Casino Royale". The car has a 510 CV engine. Maybe this car will haven't the gadgets that 007 ususally has, but for me is ok.
