Now this is just plain dumb: Radio station destroys Boxster

Saturday, June 21st, 2008
Sometimes, videos of stupid people wrecking stupid cars is fun. Our destruction-obsessed inner selves even get some guilty pleasure out of watching a really good demolition derby.

Monday, June 9th, 2008
It wouldn't be correct to say that all Ferrari drivers can't drive. What we can say is that a lot of Ferrari drivers are probably not short of ego, and also probably have little idea of what their cars can do when pressed.

VIDEO: Nick Heidfeld breaks BMW Sauber F1 car while showing off

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008
Not that BMW's Sauber F1 car has anything more than three letters in common with cars that bear the propeller logo on public streets, but who's going to argue with the opportunity to lay down the tools early? Hotshoe Nick Heidfeld recently treated a crowd of laborer's at BMW's Munich factory to the ......
