What can be better for a car aficionado than carving a mountain road in an open roadster on a pleasant sunny day? While almost any convertible would make such a drive enjoyable; those looking for an extra adrenaline rush of a high revving exhaust note and slamming their own gears require a special car.

One such car is the Honda S2000. While the standard S2000 is one of the greatest sports roadsters in its own right; the folks at Honda sprinkled additional performance magic dust on the limited edition “Club Racer” CR model. This factory tuned car may be a little too harsh on the mountain or canyon road, but it feels at home on the race track as its name suggests. Major manufacturers don’t often release such track focused cars for general sale, and this makes the CR even more exciting.

The BBC car series Top Gear is back again with Season 18 Episode 3.

In this newest episode James gets to test the Vauxhall Corsa VXR Nurburgring with the help of the Stig.

You can also click HERE to watch previous episodes of Top Gear Season 18.

Meanwhile Jeremy & Richard help choreograph a car chase scene.

In the reasonably priced car Ryan Reynolds shows that he knows a thing or two about going fast around BBC’s Top Gear Track.

As a bonus review James May also reviews the new Fiat Panda and comes away more impressed by the small Fiat than the Vauxhall Corsa VXR. His Top Gear conclusion is that you can have more fun in a small car with small tires on the road than any car ever developed on the Nurburgring.

Check it out below.

But hurry up and watch it before it gets pulled from the Internet.

United Airlines customer service leaves Frequent business flyer in the lurch

United_continental_logoI would not believe this story had it not just happened to me.

Business travel today is tolerable at best, but can easily turn ugly at the drop of a hat. That's why many business travelers value loyalty programs of such as United Airlines Mileage Plus which holds out the promise of better customer service for frequent-flyers.

Don't believe them.

I'm scheduled to fly tomorrow from Denver to Austin, Texas except that when I was checking into my flight today on-line, I noticed that my name on the ticket was misspelled. Instead of "Roman" the name on the ticket is "Romanw"
