The Latvian driver of this BMW 5-Series is one lucky son of a gun. The hole you see in the windshield was created by a flying piece of metal that hit the Bimmer when it was travelling on the road. The metal smashed the windshield, bypassing the driver’s head by maybe less than an inch as you can see from the scratches on his headrest in the pictures after the jump and then it came out from the

We’ve seen people add all sorts of gadgets on their bike’s handlebar; speedometers, odometers, LEDs and so on, but we’ve never seen a digital rearview camera up until now. Cervellum’s prototype unit shown here features a 3.5-inch screen and a 4-hour battery life, along with 32MB of storage for workout data and four USB ports for expansion modules. According to the company, the not-yet-available

Chevrolet Corvette product manager Harlan Charles walks around the all-new ZR1 showing us the car’s goodies.

It’s a story you’ve heard many times; someone buys a car, he likes it general but there’s something about its appearance that doesn’t click. Mr “Mad Mod” in particular didn’t like his Pontiac’s front end so he decided to give it a nose-job by adding a Ferrari F430 inspired bumper.

Apparently the guy didn’t have any intentions of building a full F430 replica, which is a plus in our books. Of

When there’s a will (and plenty of cash…) there’s a way. Nissan might have not given the all-new GT-R for a full test drive, but the guys at Edmund’s Inside Line travelled all the way to Japan to test a privately owned Nissan GT-R on an airstrip outside Tokyo. The car, owned by Japanese journalist Jun Nishikawa was a Japanese-spec example with 1,500 km or 932 miles on its odo. But enough with

An 18-year-old college student from Bolton, UK had the bright idea of taking his Christmas present, a used first generation Fiat Punto for a spin on Blackpool beach.

As with the CLS, the facelift concerns all the range but we’ll have to wait a couple of days to get all the details and pictures. In concern of the facelifted SL AMG models and apart from the new rear bumper and diffuser,

An Australian website (or at least we think its Australian since you have to pay in AUD) is offering a series of die-cast car models dubbed “Urban Collectables”. What’s weird with the three different models offered is that all of them showcase an accident: the joy ridden 2-door Hatchback, the Mini Van insurance scam and the petrol bombed Jeep. According to the seller, each Urban Collectable car

Someone seems to have forgotten to close the door at Mercedes-Benz’s AMG division as a set of pictures featuring the slightly revised 2009 CLS 63 AMG model where leaked into the internet today. Of course, this means that the whole CLS range will receive a facelift for the 2009 model year line-up.
