| Video: Lamborghini Gallardo versus the JetVespa Posted: 03 Oct 2010 06:00 AM PDT
On paper, this match-up between a Lamborghini Gallardo and a scooter looks to be as lopsided an encounter the likes of which we haven't seen since Randy Couture pummeled James Toney into submission a minute into their encounter in UFC 118 a month ago. We already know what a Gallardo is capable of, but to even the playing field – somewhat, at least – the challenging scooter, dubbed the JetVespa, was outfitted with a rocket engine. Will the added power be enough for the diminutive JetVespa to stage an upset over the mighty Lamborghini on par with the 1980 Miracle On Ice? In the interest of spoiler alerts, we won't spare you the details because you have to watch the video to find out. We'll tell you something, though. The Gallardo/JetVespa throw-down was a lot more competitive than we initially thought. Then again, it wouldn't be as awesome if the result was predictable, right?

| Volvo has another public safety demonstration gaffe Posted: 02 Oct 2010 11:00 PM PDT
Correct us if we're wrong, but aren't Volvos supposed to be considered one of the safest cars on the road? It sure doesn't seem like it these days after the Swedish car brand had another embarrassing episode while having another safety demonstration in front of Australian journalists in Europe. Before you start asking what on earth Aussie journalists are doing in Europe, that's not really the point here. The point is that a car brand noted for its outstanding safety features has once again been cast into the spotlight for another incident that pretty much undermines what we've known from Volvo over the years. Even worse, this isn't the first time it happened. Back in May, the Volvo was testing out the new S60 and its intelligent emergency brakes when, during another demonstration in front of the media, inexplicably lost its brakes and ended up crashing into the back of a stationary truck.

| Chevrolet Camaro 2-Seater Kids Car is the perfect holiday present Posted: 02 Oct 2010 06:00 PM PDT Since the Christmas holiday is fast approaching, we think that it’s finally time for parents to think of what goodies they could give their kids. Spoiler alert kids: Santa Claus also goes by the name of Mom and Dad. Anyway, there are a myriad of gifts parents can give their children, but since we're into cars, we're going to suggest only those that come either on four wheels or something that's close to it. That's why we're suggesting to the folks that have kids – be it a boy or a girl – that are into cars, there's no better Christmas present to give them than this randy dandy Chevrolet Camaro kids car. Not to worry, they won't need any form of a license to drive this baby around. For one, it only weighs 75 pounds and runs on a 12-volt battery with 8-10 hours of battery time before it needs charging. You also won't have to worry about your kids getting a speeding ticket with this car because it comes with a top speed of five mph. There's also an MP3 player outlet inside the car to give your kids the thrill of driving a Camaro in your backyard with Justin Bieber tunes blasting from inside the car. Awww...blissful innocence.
