This Just In: New on the Net

It’s not always easy to tell whether someone is right for you. But if you’re attempting to flee a dispute, and your partner clings to the roof of your vehicle and punches you through the window, it’s best to assume you aren’t going to make beautiful music together. Over the weekend, this awful situation actually played out between William Kremer and Stacey Sperrazza, and culminated when Sperrazza hit Kremer with the car. Unfortunately, Kremer received only minor injuries. Stacey, please DTMFA. Here’s the news:

  • Ford has been mum about the whole thing, but it looks like it’s official: Tata is going to buy Jaguar and Land Rover. Expect an announcement in early March—but don’t expect the new XF to sell for 2000 bucks. Automotive News
  • Early this morning, there was an explosion at the Porsche factory in Stuttgard. Two workers we injured, but both have been treated and released. Production of the 911 is expected to be suspended for two to three days. Detroit News
  • Ma Mopar had a real hit on their hands with the 300C, and now it looks like they’re aiming for the same success on across the pond. A diesel version has just been announced for customers in the UK. CarScoop
  • Fewer kids are getting their drivers license at 16. It’s official: there’s just something really wrong with kids today. New York Times

That story about 16 yr olds not being eager to get their licenses is so true. My little bro is gonna be 16 next year, and he’s not even thinking about getting one, yet. I’m like: “DUDE!” hahaha
