What will you learn from watching this video? How not to park a Ferrari. Leave it to a woman to turn backing into a parking space into an 87 point turn. We just feel bad for the guy helping her.
So you love mountain-biking! Who doesn’t? But lets presume the mountain is far from you and the only car you’re having is a Porsche Turbo (ya, you wish for, we know!), but you still want to ride your bike in the deep into the forest. What do you do? Get inventive like this guy! Oh, and choose one friend to go with you!
We are not sure which is worse, being the victim of this video or the last. Some one please remind these kids that airbags are made to protect you in the event of an accident and not to ruin your chances of having kids in the future.
Ouch! That must have hurt, but more then losing a McLaren F1?
We are used to rainstorms during the South Florida summers, but this is just freaking ridiculous. There is a Jeep stuck across the street, cars driving on the crown of the road and a woman wading her way into the trunk of her Bimmer. She was hesitant to open the doors, and with good reason. Personally we though the engine in her 3 Series would be hydro locked for sure, but German engineering surprised us once again.
The ominous clouds covered the sky for what we thought was going to be a typical afternoon thunderstorm, but we should have known that something was up when hail started to fall. Did I mention that we are in South Florida, and its summer, what gives?
It’s a good thing that we got the Aston Martin out of the way earlier today; I don’t think that Marek Reichman would have been so enthusiastic about showing off his fancy Jaeger-LeCoultre watch in these conditions. Let alone drop the top on the new DBS Volante.
For all those hyper milers in their sub compact hybrids, this is why you buy an SUV. Speaking of hybrid owners, what happens when you find yourself beltline deep in standing water, you will probably be asking yourself, how well insulated are all those electrical connectors?
If you thought that life would never be as sweet as when you were a child sitting under the tree on Christmas morning opening presents, we have some good news for you. If you want to recapture that feeling of of innocence and excitement all you have to do is call up your local Lamborghini dealer, and order a brand new Reventon.
Unfortunately all 20 Examples of the jet fighter inspired super car are already in the hands of collectors, but if you can find one that didn’t throw away the original packaging, you can once again enjoy the feeling of unwrapping one of the greatest presents in the world.

Owning a Ferrari F-430 is something that we all daydream of achieving. Unfortunately for the majority of us automotive enthusiasts lusting after the exotic Italian machine is all we are capable of because they are just so damn expensive. However, this prancing horse that recently unveiled at Computex 2009, the Chinese technology show is a much more practical version of the Italian super car. No $1,000 oil changes or $4,000 brake jobs the only maintenance that you will be doing on this Ferrari is changing the CD. The best part is that your wife won’t yell at you for keeping it in the bedroom. Besides, this F-430 is a lot more fun to play with than any carbon fiber Ferrari notebook.
Formula 1 drivers live a fast paced life filled with exotic race cars beautiful women and the finest luxuries, especially in Monaco. So it is very surprising to hear that a model was causing such a distraction for the men behind the wheel at this year’s Grand Prix, but maybe you would too if you were coming out of the slowest corner in F1 only to look up and see the face of an angel staring back at you with a five foot wide smile. The race’s winner, Jensen Button, said that "every time you passed her, it was as though she was looking right at you."
It was the San Francisco native, and face of Martini’s advertising campaign, Jessiqa Pace, whose image was strung up in the air just after the Lowes hairpin, promoting the Italian winemaker’s iconic vermouth. Last year’s champion Lewis Hamilton had an incident around the banner during the Saturday qualifying session that left the mechanics rebuilding the Mercedes chassis all night and the youngest F1 Champion of all time starting from the back of the grid on Sunday.
Pace happened to be in Monaco for the race weekend, and when she learned of the unfortunate incident told reporters that "obviously it’s very flattering that I’m distracting the drivers so much, but I’d feel terrible if someone got hurt." This just goes to show, the 2009 Formula 1 season has turned the sport on its head. First Button starts winning races for Brawn GP the major manufacturers can’t find the podium and now beautiful women will have to be removed from the racetrack. At least Ferrari showed they has a little more pep in their step, coming in third and fourth at the grand prix.
The guys at Wrecked Exotics are at it again, this time they have compiled all of their weirdest crashes. These include cars punching through walls, flying through the air and landing on a church roof, there is even a Suburban that got shot by an F-16; and that is only of the first page. Check out the link below to see the strange ways that people have wrecked their rides.
It is standard procedure that before buying a car, the interested party should take said vehicle for a test drive. In the event that the car is a “cracker” (as the guy from Wheeler Dealers likes to call them) and the interested party wishes to purchase the vehicle they bring a check, or in certain occasions, cash. But something a car buyer should never do, is leave the cash in the backseat for a highway run, with the top down.
That is exactly what a 23 year old man from Hanover, Germany did when he took a new Audi A3 Convertible for a test drive. The driver left 23,000 Euro (about $31,000) in an envelope in the back seat for safekeeping.
To make a long story short, the man from Hanover had to call the police, who shut down the highway and helped the guy recover 20,000 of his Euro. So if you take anything away from the man’s experience, keep the cash in your pocket, or just stay away from convertibles all together.
This guy is just giving Ferrari owners around the world a bad name. Further proof that just because you can fork over almost $300,000 for a super tuned Ferrari, doesn’t mean that you are capable of making the most out of the 500 HP. This F-430 Scuderia owner is taking part in a parade of Ferraris in the south of France, and even though it looks like he’s the grand marshal, he doesn’t even know how to get the car into gear. At least he gives us a nice taste of what the adrenaline charged Ferrari F-430 sounds like.
