| Sirens on Sports Cars, Ambulance Edition: UAE Paramedics to Get Lotus Evora and Ford Mustangs |
Oct 13th, 2014 |
|
If the idea of law enforcement using exotic cars to hunt you down is a little scary, the notion of putting sports cars in the hands of paramedics to bring life-saving assistance is far more reassuring. As it turns out, both are possible in—where else?—Dubai. That’s right, not only do Emirati cops have Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, […]

| Nuthin’ But a G Thang: G-Wagen Commemorates 35 Years with Special Edition |
Oct 13th, 2014 |
|
The Geländewagen is not only one of our favorite Mercedes-Benz models, it is one of the coolest off-roaders of all time.

| Role Play, Lambo-on-Lambo Action, Silly Plot—This Car-Porn Video Has It All |
Oct 10th, 2014 |
|
We’ve seen our share of dopey internet videos with brahs driving fast cars, many of which come out of Florida and most of them being insufferably stupid (although “Bugatti Veyron Lake Crash” is still one of our favorite guilty pleasures).

Oct 10th, 2014 |
