What can a VIDEO be about that includes a BMW S 1000 RR and the tablecloth myth?

What can a VIDEO be about that includes a BMW S 1000 RR and the tablecloth myth? You guys just have to see the video. It’s the least wasted 1 min of anyone’s life. Not being a great fan of Mythbusters or the like, I don’t know if they ever tried to bust the old pull-the-tablecloth trick, or if they did or did not bust out the myth. Back in the day when medieval princes where bored as hell and they came up with this stunt, I’m not sure they had 193 horsepower in a single machine. Unless maybe, earlier in history though, good old Hercules had too much mead or something… Back to the subject. A long elegant table full of high-class dishes...

Obama denied the hybrid presidential limo he wanted!

Obama denied the hybrid presidential limo he wanted! President Barack Obama declared (there were initially only some rumours about such a plan from the White House) today that he originally wanted his presidential limo to boast a hybrid drivetrain, sustaining the more efficient and less environmental hazardous approach to personal transport that the American Convergent wants. So what happened to prevent this from happening?

That’s saying something,...

Upcoming Baby AMG May Get Supercharged V-6, Not Turbo Four British magazine Autocar reports that the upcoming B-Class-based AMG sedan will be powered by a 3.2-liter supercharged V-6, not a turbocharged four-cylinder as previously thought.

Mercedes Announces New C-Class Coupe is Coming in 2011

Mercedes Announces New C-Class Coupe is Coming in 2011 The previous Mercedes-Benz C-Class "Sports Coupe,” as it was called, never exactly set the sales charts on fire, and was criticized for being a little too entry-level. But Mercedes apparently is ready to make a go of it again, announcing today that it will build a new C-Class Coupe starting sometime in 2011.

Mercedes-Benz Considering Making S-class Hybrid-only? With mostly large V-8s and twin-turbo V-12s in its lineup, the Mercedes-Benz S-class isn’t particularly fuel-efficient. In light of upcoming fuel economy standards, Daimler executives reportedly are considering making the S-class a hybrid-only lineup. According to Automotive News, inside dealer sources said Daimler executives are considering the switch to all gasoline-electric models for the next-generation S-class. If the switch is made, the dealer sources say that no S-class will be offered with only an internal combustion engine -- including the high-performance AMG versions....
