AUTOKISTE NEU BEI AUTOKISTE Blitzumfrage: Panorama-Glasdach im Pkw – wäre das was für Sie? http://www.autokiste.de/ (rechts oben in der Marginalspalte) Verkehr & Reise: Aktualisierte Schulferien-Listen bis 2009/10 im Ferienkalender http://www.autokiste.de/verkehr_reise/ferienkalender/start.htm WEBTIPP DER WOCHE Wenn sich die “G8″-Politiker wie jüngst im schönen Heiligendamm treffen, gehören hohe Sicherheitsvorkehrungen auf der einen und vielfältige Protestaktionen auf der anderen Seite zum Begleitprogramm, was an dieser Stelle nicht weiter erörtert werden soll. Manche Demonstrationen sind dabei nicht friedlich verlaufen – Hunderte von Verletzten und hoher Sachschaden waren die Folge. Doch nicht nur in Rostock und Umgebung gab es “Krawalle”, sondern auch in der Hauptstadt selbst. Zu besonders effektvollen, aber auch mit hohem Gewaltpotenzial verbundenen Aktionen gehört dabei das “Abfackeln” von Autos. Erschreckenderweise ist die Brandserie nach dem Ende des G8-Gipfels nicht ebenfalls abgeklungen: Mindestens sechs Autos standen seither alleine in Berlin in Flammen. In klarer Deutlichkeit aufgezeigt wird dies durch eine Website einer Berliner Firma, die nach eigener Aussage keine politischen Ziele verfolgt, sondern nur ihr Wissen im Programmieren und Arbeiten mit Google Maps nutzt. Kaum Inhalt, aber ein Denkanstoß: http://www.brennende-autos.de/ Alle bisher veröffentlichten Webtipps finden Sie im Archiv.

Spied: 2009 Ferrari F*%$? Ferrari prancing mules spotted near Maranello spark a rumor-mill explosion. With one photo in particular appearing the way the infamous video of Sasquatch loping through the woods might look reflected in the side of an oil tanker caked in road scuz, these new Ferrari spy shots are creating quite a stir. Taken from about a half-mile away with a Kodak disposable and a cracked pair of children’s binoculars, the ground-breaker of these spy shots reveals either a Ferrari prototype, an overturned speedboat, or a pile of fresh mulch hidden beneath a red car cover. Location? Unknown, but no doubt somewhere sporty, fast, and with really high fences.

2010 Pontiac Firebird or GTO? Is Pontiac raising GTOs or Firebirds on its muscle-car farm? Recently, citing the well-known return of its longtime platform-mate, the Chevrolet Camaro, some of you have been screaming like chickens about another storied muscle car from our past, the good ol’ Pontiac Firebird. After all, it would be easy—just graft a beak onto the Camaro and ship it to Pontiac showrooms. Pontiac is pretty much guaranteed to get at least one muscle car from the prolific, rear-drive Zeta platform (officially the Global Rear Wheel Drive Architecture) by 2010—will it be a Firebird, a GTO, or possibly even both?

The Audi R8 battles the Aston Martin V-8 Vantage and the Porsche 911 Turbo Everyday supercars: Audi knocks on the door of a very exclusive club. This threesome resists handy one-word descriptors, but it’s clear that these are rare rides, far beyond the ordinary to stimulate the envy glands of just about anyone who sees them. Cars for the fortunate few, but for all that, just close enough to the realm of mortals to be reasonable candidates for everyday transportation. These are the everyday supercars.
