Get lost Toyota Prius!

O love it but I still really like Toyota Prius!


Rita Hayworth’s Cadillac


Once upon a time Rita Haysworth and her husband Ali Khan visited Paris Auto Salon. Famous actress instantly fell in love with the car you can see below and although it was not intended for her or anybody else (it was just a concept car to start Ghia-Cadillac cooperation), she wanted it so badly that her husband bought it for her (I wish I had such a wonderful and rich husband!). The end of the story? Ghia didn’t manage to work with Cadillac and very soon Rita divorced Ali, but in the end she had her unique car (only one was ever made!). It will be always remembered as Rita’s Cadillac.

Cord Beverly 812


Cord Beverly 812 is the first American front-wheel drive car with independent front suspension. What’s more, it has stupefyingly awesome exterior, hidden lights (always cool) and supercharged engine with 190 hp. Somehow I’m not surprised that Cord company doesn’t exist anymore. It was killed by reliability problems, including slipping out of gear and vapor lock. But come on, why would someone care about it if they have such a piece of automotive art on the driveway?! Life's too short to even care about such unimportnat things as reliability!  

Kanye West, Mercy and Lamborghini


Originally titled “Lamborghini, Murci”, “Mercy” this is the first single from the upcoming G.O.O.D Music album by Kanye West. Not great, but a nice song. Well, I think you’ll agree that the more music Kanye gives us, the better but we’re here because of the car. It’s kind of obvious that Lamborghini plays a role in the video but it’s surprising that it’s not Murcielago or even Mercylago. Instead there is Gallardo lurking in the back. Kanye, darling, you’re great artist but it seems you’re pathetic when it comes to cars. But we still love you. 


It's all about cars

It really is.
