Big Formula Ford Crash

Motorsports crashes are something you hope never happens but when they do it’s awfully hard to look away. Especially when they are spectacular and boy is this one spectacular.

Now we’ve got some live pics from the showroom floor at the North American International Autoshow.

2015 Subaru WRX STI

The Subaru WRX has a rally history that is rivaled by few. It’s street going cars have garnered a fervent following with their aggressive looks, turbo engines, and general good fun to drive. Not to mention being four doors and sometimes hatch backs they are quite practical. So then it comes as no surprise that the launch of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI is a bit of a big deal.
