    Seriously, I'd offer oral sex just for a ride. I just hope the new owner is a woman.

    The Porsche 918 Spyder is still a developmental car...not sure how it's going to make it as a 2013 model but time will tell...yet it recently pulled a 6:57 lap of the Nurburgring. Is that a record? Never mind, here's the onboard:

    Looks like I was wrong again...either that or one of the automotive "news" sites reported it incorrectly. The 918 is apparently a 2015 model. Still under development but looking better and better as the design matures.

    Looks like Chris Harris took it for another drive. Gorgeous IMO. The car, that is...

    In the end all the cars look very good a Ferrari even the "LaFerrari" is still the winner.

    The McLaren P1 is an excellent car but in the end I would rather have the Red Ferrari.

    If you haven't heard, there have been a couple engine fires in Porsche's 911 GT3s. Porsche mulled it over, figured out what the problem is and decided on an expensive solution. That is, expensive for Porsche. Too bad more manufacturers don't respond so proactively, though my cynical side can easily imagine this being about worry over liability...

    Well I give the a huge thumbs up for replacing every engine. That is going to cost them huge.
