If you live in Los Angeles, don’t freak out.  This is not what it looks like. Yes, it is a Lamborghini.  Yes, it is wearing a black and white paint scheme.  And yes, it does say “Police” on the side. OK, this is exactly what it looks like: an early Lamborghini Gallardo cop car.  But […] More »

Luxury car companies like Porsche get a bad rap.  The traditional logic holds that the more exotic a car is, the more problematic it will be (and Porsches are definitely not on every block).  In 1973, addressing concerns that raw materials for automobiles would run out in the future, the Teutonic firm built the FLA […] More »

I’m sure Porsche designed its 2014 911 GT3 to be a hot performer.  Probably not as hot a performer as it has been lately.

 UPDATE – Round Seven Winner: Aventador! Ah yes… March. I’ve never been one to pay much attention to March madness, when it comes to college basketball, but I do like the idea of a good tournament. So instead of blathering on-and-on about basketball on a car site, we’re doing our own little battle Royale throughout the month […] More »
