There’s been some speculation as to the design direction of the 2010 BMW 5-Series.

We have to say we’re having a good ol’ time enjoying the SLR Guy p-chops you’ve created the last few days. But that doesn’t mean we’ve gotten enough yet. It seems SLR Guy has made its way into The Car Lounge at VWVortex and some of their best and brightest have given it the old… »

The police in Philadelphia are taking an ingenious step in an attempt to slow down motorists: deploying 3D speed bumps. Rather than going through the painstaking task of installing real speed bumps, the Philly police are simply laying down flat plastic “speed bumps” that mimic the real thing, all in an effort to fool drivers… »
