∙ Manchester United soccer star and card-carrying jackass Christiano Ronaldo crashed his Ferarri 599 GTb Fiorano last Friday in Manchester, England. The star forward veered left and hit the outside wall of a tunnel after downshifting to hear the big V-12 sing. Ronaldo apparently walked away, but the big Ferrari was completely destroyed in the [...]
In Australia. Er, Germany. Here’s the deal. Yet another Ferrari mule with poorly fitting 599 Fiorano GTB panels, a shrunken wheelbase, funky exhausts and atrocious paint has been spotted running around what we’ll just go and assume is the Nurburgring.

Actually the problem is that the worlds’ wealthiest are still buying Ferraris. But my (admittedly snarky) point still stands. The cheapest Aston Martin one can buy — the V8 Vantage — will ding your pocket to the tune of $119,000. That’s a bit more than half of what the average American home sells for. Add [...]
Sorry for the break with reports from Tanner Foust’s European Vacation, but it seems he’s been busy and apparently Speed TV’s budget for the Supercars Exposed episodes he’s been filming over there doesn’t cut to finer hotels with internet access.
