The BTR is the standard Soviet (now Russian) armored troop carrier used by the military of the former Eastern Block. Communism has fallen and Lithuania is now independent, yet Arturas Zuokas, the Mayor of the city of Vilnius used the BTR to destroy one of the symbols of the decadent capitalist West [sic]. But seriously, Zuokas climbed on to a BTR and drove over a W140 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

Nissan’s luxury offspring, Infiniti, already has a sports car, the G37 coupe. But lately there has been a lot of talk about cooperating with Red Bull now that the latter is considering entering the car-making business. In addition, Nissan’s boss, Carlos Ghosn, is teasing us with a rather exciting prospect: an Infiniti version of the amazing Nissan GT-R. At least that’s what he hinted at during an

In February, during the Super Bowl, Chrysler aired its new advertising campaign for the 200 featuring the slogan “Imported from Detroit”. The commercial, which showed famous rapper Eminem driving around the Motor City under the sounds of his hit song “Lose Yourself”, won 5 awards at Cannes. Three months later, Audi aired a TV ad in Germany about the 2012 A6 Avant. It featured a man driving around

A mayor from a small city located close to Green Bay, Wisconsin, made headlines earlier this month after he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Footage from a state patrol dash cam shows Marinette Mayor Robert M. Harbick clearly intoxicated and almost unable to stand up alone while also joking around with the police officers. According to local media reports, police responded

Over the years we've shown you plenty of tow truck-related fails but we think this one takes the cake.
