New Porsche Cayenne 902 Coupe
Okay Checkered Flag Porsche fans, here's something that might cause quite a bit of controversy. I found this tasty nugget over on autoblog.com this morning and thought I might like some feedback from you winners out there.
Article courtesy of [autoblog.com]:
The Porsche Cayenne has never really received the kind of warm embrace from Porsche purists that the suits at Stuttgart would prefer. Never mind the fact that the Cayenne sells in droves, thereby allowing the company to continue to build physics-melting sports cars, the SUV is as far from the lightweight, low-slung creations that made the…

News of the Weird: Segway Company Owner Dies
Weird news story from Examiner.com:
The British owner of the Segway company, who had purchased the company less than a year ago, in December 2009, from inventor Dean Kamen, has died in a freak accident, driving the vehicle off a cliff. Jimi Heselden was 62.

So, You Think You're smart Smart?
Well, if some of you Checkered Flag Winners aren't so familiar with the friendly little smart cars, here's your chance to get schooled on the basics.
The instantly popular smart has much to brag about starting with their Mercedes-Benz Engineering. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised by the interior space of the smart fortwo. There's plenty of legroom and certainly more headroom than some of my friends' compacts. Tree huggers and bargain shoppers agree, the estimated 41 mpg efficiency of the smart is appealing across the boards! Also, I love that the smart fortwo is…
