If you happened to forget about Valentines Day, yesterday, may we suggest a chocolate covered beetle of the drivable kind (girls don't like the other kind on V-Day, trust me)? This chocolate-coated VW Beetle was situated in front of a supermarket in Qingdao, Shandong Province, in China. It took seven employees and a total of 200 KG (441 lbs for you non-communists) to complete. In order to protect the car from sugar-related damage it was covered in a protective layer of plastic. Remember kids, you should always use protection when the body chocolate comes out.– Matt Hardigree More »

You cannot stop Martin Winterkorn, you can only hope to contain him. As of yesterday, that is. As of today, he is (possibly) in full blitz mode. The boys at motorauthority.com are reporting that Porsche, as the largest shareholder in the Volkswagen Group, is about to spin Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini and Bugatti off into a Ford style PAG group sans Ford. Or in this case, sans VeeDub, Skoda and Seat. All that leaps to our collective mind is how weird it will be to have the 911 and R8 under the same roof. And what will Lambo do if there is in fact another Bugatti? And what on earth will they base the next A3 on? The Cayman? Stay tuned to this blog, eat your veggies, etc. – Jonny Lieberman More »
