Off Topic, but heck, being a car guy I have a near sexual atraction to things made out of Carbon Fiber. This one would break the bank for me though, how about a $300,000 all Carbon table? Check out this and more at a new favorite site I just found, CarbonFiberGear.com

We all have a fascination with lightweight wheels for our car, heck it’s like jewelry for your “other” woman. Well, my buddy Brad knows a thing or two about materials and motorsport and he’s mentioned to me that some wheels are great for the track, but are simply too fragile for serious street use. Indeed some wheels are so light, that they are basically single season throw away items. The snap above comes from LamboPower, and illustrates the point pretty graphically. Buyer beware, but be informed.
Lots more on his web site, but this video from the Red Bull Drift championship was especially enjoyable.
Wonderful work from the automotive artists of Clash Productions.

Ack, #1 reason for allways carrying a fire extinguisher in your car.
Well, more like he scooped up his kid after the car stopped moving, but still a scary moment for any parent.
For the record I really love Porsche, even the Boxster and Caymen. You would be forgiven for thinking otherwise given how found I am for Porsche competitors like the Aston Martin Vantage or Nissan GT-R, but I think that just further proves how good they are…. Except their stylist keep trying to make non sports cars look like sports cars. They somewhat redeemed themselves with the faclifted Cayenne, but this new Panamera really is a buzz kill for me. I can sum up the car saying it’s a really cool trick spoiler wrapped in a tragically unatractive body.
So that’s my opinion take it or leave it, but sitting in my inbox today was some Panamera news that they’ll debut the car in China.
