With twing on two pillars of public lighting

Automotive
Dutch police officers came across an amazing scene while checking traffic. Someone tied two poles of public lighting to an old Renault Twingo, but when the driver was stopped, it turned out that, to put it mildly, inappropriate transport of cargo was not the only offense. The poles were stolen by the driver, who was driving without a valid driver's license and with an unregistered vehicle with a completed technical inspection. The driver refused an alcohol test, and before the daring theft, he allegedly poured half a tank of fuel at the gas station and drove away without paying.

Court: Porsche is not to blame for the death of Paul Walker!

Automotive
Judge Philip S. Gutierrez ruled that Kristine Rodas simply did not have enough evidence that the Porsche car in which her husband Roger and his friend, the famous actor Paul Walker, had died was dangerous to drive due to a lack of safety devices. The judge also ruled that there was no evidence that the suspension on the Carrera GT, which crashed into a tree by the road at high speed and died at the scene, caused the accident, as Kristine Rodas claims in her a lawsuit against a German sports car manufacturer. The fatal accident happened in November 2013 in Santa Clarita. Rodasova's lawyer will appeal the court's decision.

If you’ve been a big fan of the comedy series Friends and the car show Top Gear, the following will really impress you. A friend of Joey Tribbiani, or Matt LeBlanc, who he plays and whom we have often seen in Formula One races in previous seasons, has joined the new cast of the once popular show Top Gear.

"I am honored to be able to participate in the new chapter of this show as a big Top Gear fan and crazy about cars," said LeBlanc, who was also hospitably received by co-host Evans:

Ferrari 458 with a hefty mileage

Automotive
Mileage is often a very important factor when buying a used car, as it is an indicator of wear and tear in addition to the age of the vehicle. The number of kilometers also increases the possibility of breakdowns and higher service costs. The highest mileage is found on diesel-powered limousines, which are designed to cover distances from point A to B on a daily basis for private or business purposes. Abroad, it is not uncommon for a 3-year-old vehicle to have 200 kilometers. From this we can conclude that sports vehicles, which are primarily intended for driving pleasure, do not have many kilometers or. in a few years they travel the same number of kilometers as a normal vehicle in a single. Of course, most people with deeper pockets don’t buy supercars to chase with them on a daily basis - so
