Just a few nights ago this Laser Red 2002 Audi S4 was stolen in Washington state. Yesterday the cops found it in their very own parking lot, and the reason why gets an epic criminal facepalm. But the car was only recovered because enthusiasts had spread it all over the internet.
The Koenigsegg Agera R is hand built by craftsmen in Sweden. Every example appears to be a work of art, and reviews tend to say that too. But one former owner says it's the opposite. In fact, he says the Agera R he was buying was "a hunk of shit." Koenigsegg doesn't see it that way.
Now that the 2014 Corvette has finally broken cover, it can drop all that ridiculous camo it was wearing when it tested on public roads.
There's an important lesson in this story. The story itself may seem trivial, but the moral of it is timeless and vastly important. It starts, like so many stories do, with a pretty girl. And ends with a stain.
If a streetracer wrecks his car, hurts no one, and says he's learned his lesson, should he still be brought to the police? The members of a local Honda forum responded to one such incident with a resounding yes.
A thread on StanceWorks — the popular forum for lowered and hellaflush cars — began with a proud 2001 Honda Civic owner showing off his trunk-rattling sound system and slammed car.

When a group of 14 Ford Raptor owners took to the desert for an off-road run in the spirit of what has become the quintessential hot-rod pickup, ten came back with bent frames. Is the Raptor too weak to play in the desert?

The lizard wizards of the Nissan GT-R forum have the order guide for the 2012 Godzilla. Six colors, four of them extra, and choices of a rear camera, all-weather tires or floor mats. Sorry, no pink-leather Egoist for America. [NAGTROC]
What started as curiosity about a roadside fire eventually led members of the FerrariChat forum to this: the snowbound Connecticut residence of a 25th Anniversary Lamborghini Countach, parked outside for the winter. Don't all exotics come with rustproofing?

There's forum loyalty and then there's tattooing a site's logo on your back, which is what FullSizeChevy forum member PHATSPEED7X did. Here's hoping they don't change the logo anytime soon. (H/T to g9m3c!)[FullSizeChevy]
