Chrysler up for sale, 4.5 billion...
Theoretically Chrysler would make the ME-412, and a bunch of other cars that compete against Mercedes...
2 out of 3 Germans want a speed limit on the Autobahn, 90% of that 66% say it should be 80mph...
(Anyone want to go to Germany and rent a Mercedes CLK-GTR-AMG, Ruf, or even faster?)
A genius idea

Another good idea: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/03/15/lotus-develops-integrated-exhaust-manifold-tuners-cringe/
I have this case, just the taller full server version, and a different bezel)

Now wheres that eclipse turbo at?
The ending to this race is amazing
i watched it live over Spring Break, and like 4 times after that...
Its just amazing. Remember, they have raced for 12 hours, and are still that close...
Jorg Bergmeister (the Porsche) was LAPs down, and in the last few hours got on the lead lap. Then over the last 15 or so minutes he got up right behind Jamie Melo (the Ferrari). Awesomeness ensued.
For those who do not know, ALMS (the American le Mans Series) races 4 classe4s at one (imagine a NASCAR race with Nextel Cup, Busch, NASCAR West, and ARCA all on one course at the same time). Wikipedia has more on ALMS for those interested. They race in Elkhart Lake, WI (30 mins from Fond du Lac) in August.
The battle in this video was right in front of the Audi in a faster class, that won the race, but since they were in front, they got to go around again. The fireworks just make the video even that more amazing to watch.
This is a youtube video, but i included the autoblog link, so you can see their write up, as well as a link to their write up on the whole race for those interested.
