I may throw up.

Is drawing and quartering still illegal?

reserve.

I saw the article too.  It doesn't seem like the driver deserved to come through with barely a scratch ... think they can charge him with "carslaughter"?

I find it almost amusing that he said he was only the passenger, and the mysterious "Deitrich" was driving, but no sign of this driver could be found.  "Oh, no, wasn't me.  I wouldn't have wrecked this car."

Am I the only one who finds those new VW commercials a little creepy?

Nope.  There is a bit of VW bashing going on over at motoringfile.com, too.  I believe the common opinion is that the FAST is an evil metal uber-bunny.  ;)

Ironic, in a way, since the new ad agency for VW is the former MINI ad agency.

Huh, didn't see the VW bashing on motoringfile. I did see your comments, though. When I initially signed up there, I used FH as my sig and it stuck.

Yeah, the new VW commercials are really strange. I'm not sure where they're going with them; they're definitely not selling the car to me any more than the a VW GTI Golf would normally.

Some links to more VW commercials:

So I've read the article....I'm just wondering, should I be seeing pics of the Enzo as well? Or, are we just reading the article?

If there are pics to see, I can't find them.

Engadget has been following this too, because the alleged "passenger" is a former dot.com rich guy.

Here are some more details coming out that the cars might be stolen!

What a tangled web - mystery driver, stolen cars, Scotland Yard... It's like a Hardy Boys tale!

And now the driver has been arrested.  Hopefully it starts him down the course of getting what he is due.
