"How the Big Three forgot Accounting 101"

Kinda like the old joke: "We're losing money on every unit. But we'll make it up in volume!"

"The Streets Of The Philippines Are Running Wild With Supercars"

Four pretty spectacular examples parked in front of a bank in Manila.

More auto porn: "Check Out The Hottest Cars At Apple, Facebook, Google And Other Silicon Valley Spots".

Harley Earl and the car that would have "forever changed automotive history"

The F-88. I dunno, it looks garish to me.

A custom-made Bugatti parked on Rodeo Drive

It's a "landmark". And it sure is pretty.

"How That $3.8 Million Supercar Crash Happened"

The 411 on that crash in Japan that claimed 14 cars, including 8 Ferraris, 3 Benzes, and a Lamborghini. 

It was a gathering of narcissists. . . . 

A bunch of idiots driving beyond their abilities, two abreast at high speed on a slick road.

Remember the Bugatti in the lake?

Two years ago a video clip of a guy driving a Bugatti Veyron into a Texas lagoon went viral. The driver supposedly was distracted by a low-flying pelican.

Turns out the guy was trying to cheat the insurance company. (If you want to see the video, use the second link.)

"The 10 Most Expensive Street-Legal Cars In The World"

#2 lists for $2.39 million and does 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds.

"King-size sedans: Audi A8, Mercedes S400, Hyundai Equus, Jaguar XJ"

Boston.com reviewer likes the Mercedes best. But he has some nice things to say about the much cheaper Equus. He also doesn't like a couple of things about the Equus.

The Equus has the weirdest, most disconcerted steering on the market. As you enter a curve, the steering feels reassuringly heavy, then it loosens without warning, bobbles a bit, and gets heavy again as you point straight. It’s alarming in a car this large, plus there’s the usual Hyundai bump-steer, in which the wheel kicks back when traveling over a rut. For a luxury car, it’s also loud at highway speeds, and the low-grip tires? Let’s not get started on those.
