So is your driver’s licence handing on by a thread?
If so we’ve got the car for you.
Mercedes-Benz SL…Really?
A new study by Verisk Analytics has come to s surprising conclusion…that drivers of the Mercedes-Benz SL are the most likely to get traffic tickets.
If you asked us we’d say that drivers of Corvetts or perhaps Subaru STI’s or perhaps Mitsubishi Evos would be on the top ten list.
But no.
If you happen to be in Kona, Hawaii for the 2010 Ironman World Championships you can take the Kona Cash Cab home, answer seven out of ten Ironman questions correctly and win a commemorative addition Timex Ironman World Championship watch or…if you are not on the big island just watch the show.
The Financial Times reported this week on Porsche's fiscal year-end earnings. The highlights? A 70 percent jump in pretax profits, leading to a margin of 16 percent, which is almost where Porsche was, in its heyday, which was only a few years ago.
That compares to operating profit margins of 9.6 and 9.8 percent for BMW and Daimler, respectively, in the second quarter this year. And no other manufacturer is even in the same galaxy.

The rumor floating around the internet is that this test drive of a new $1.6 million Bugatti Veyron cost the guy drivering the car $30K.
If you watch the video he drove it about ten feet before he both smacked into the Toyota behind him, and scarped the front end of the car.
If you have to ask how much it is…you can't afford it.
Yes indeed to some the notion of paying $75,000 for a Chevy Camaro Convertible may seem a bit over the top but keep in mind that it is a limited model with only 100 being sold (and of course) it is a convertible and it does come in a "Deep Bordeaux".
FYI: That's the name of the paint color and not the wine.
"The Camaro Convertible is considered one of our nine to 10 fantasy gifts,” said Ginger Reeder, a spokeswoman for Neiman Marcus. "If you’re going to buy a Neiman Marcus edition car, you want your neighbors to notice."

As road trips go, Estes Park, Colorado is about two hours from my home – so it’s not much work to get there. Taking the back roads through Boulder, Colorado can add an additional hour to the journey and treat you with a spectacular series of views.
Usually, I drive with the family which necessitates a larger, less exciting vehicle. It is the same chestnut for most family types. I have a suggestion for those of you who actually enjoy the drive as much as the destination – take the back route and drive a convertible.
