This Just In: New on the Net

I’m going to go out on a limb here: even though Dexter is cool, I generally don’t like serial killers. But I’m still conflicted about the tactics Dayton Beach police are using in the hunt for a local monster. They’re taking DNA samples from motorists stopped for minor traffic violations, and while I hope they catch this psychopath pronto, I can’t say I’m comfortable with the government keeping a database of people’s genetic code. Am I wrong? Anyway, here’s the news:

  • Ferrari makes some of the most beautiful machines on the planet. But if these spy shots prove anything, it’s that automotive camo can make even a Prancing Horse look ugly. Quattroruote via Fast Lane Daily
  • The 1-Series might be coming just in time, as sales of BMWs slid 4.1% in January. Are consumers starting to get nervous about shelling out for pricey cars? Detroit News
  • Higher fuel prices and more greenhouse gases might not be the only results of the uber-cheap Tata. In anticipation of the launch, India’s market for used cars is collapsing. Winding Road
  • Ford just introduced a system for their trucks which will allow people to instantly know whether all  their tools are on board. Good job guys, now how about making one make one for my keys? The New York Times
