BREAKING: Schumacher likely to return to F1 racing with Mercedes

Nov 20th 2009 3:37PM on Autoblog

This is DEFINITELY rumormill and NOT news. Schumie's people have even said he is NOT looking to return to F1.

Naked Australians reportedly arrested at car wash

There's an adult car wash close to me. I bring my beater there, I'd never let 'em touch my nice car cause they suck at washing, but they have their boobs out so that's cool.

Anyone else notice around 2:11, the tread on the Camaro's tires seems directional, and backwards?

Mexico developing 'smart' speed bumps to increase safety, decrease fuel consumption

I'm assuming that these will be new speed bumps put in place on roads to keep people in check. If they're replacing existing speedbumps, I'm all for it.

CA "cool car" regs to kill Jeep Wrangler, interfere with phones, garage openers, ankle bracelets?

I thought ceramic films blocked a very significant portion of the heat, while still not interfering due to being non-metallic?

First Drive: 2010 Volkswagen GTI reminds us why we like hot hatches so much

Also, with just an ECU flash the power of the engine is REALLY unlocked. VW even released one OEM this way, with APR Stage 1. Why they don't do it on all of them I can't say. It would really bring them into the market.

Erm, the FSI came out in the 06 GTI, mine revs to 7k, and it was replaced in 08.5 with the new TSI engine. My MkV GTI has EDL (Electronic Differential Lock), and the DSGs have launch control (I have the 6-speed manual). You guys looked at a MkV? :p

"Victimized" F1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr. reportedly headed to NASCAR truck series

"All of these new nettops have me intrigued. I'm looking for a small, quiet and cheap PC to replace my aging tower in my home office, and all it really needs to do is load Microsoft Office, check email and surf the web. Is there a particular nettop that's better (or a better value) than another? I know it's a rather new segment, but hopefully someone has taken a chance on one already. Thanks!"
