The Boys Are Back (In Cars)
Oh, but I missed my scruffy, caustic middle-aged British men. It’s been some time since Clarkson’s nail in the coffin stunt that got him fired from BBC’s Top Gear (cough, the real one) and it’s easy to forget why Clarkson, Hammond and May are the best in the business. But they are the best, and it seems that nothing – not even literally being fired from their own television program – can change that.

Look, But Don’t Buy
One of the ways I keep myself entertained this time of year is through classic car and sports car dealerships. It’s a great way to tempt yourself towards highly irresponsible decision-making, and see some really great cars for free.
Chances are there are some undiscovered showroom gems waiting for a new owner to track them down within an hour or two of wherever you happen to be.

Shell Oil aired a commercial in 1997 of a speeding Ferrari F310 seemingly being refueled from an aircraft as a component of its then-current campaign entitled “The Future Is In The Making.” The campaign was developed to emphasize Shell’s obsession with developing innovative solutions to satisfy customer’s current and future fuel needs.
