This Just In: New on the Net

This morning, I hopped on my bike and discovered I had a flat. What a perfect way to start the week. Hopefully your day began better than mine. Anyway, here’s the news:

• The shots of fancy electronics being unboxed are pretty stand on the web. But this is easily the coolest of these sequences I’ve seen. God, is Lambo’s Reventon sexy or what? Fresh Tarmac via Autoblog
• Ian Taylor was pretty pissed when the meter maids booted a car parked in front of his house, so instead of paying to have it removed, he just cut the car in half. Makes sense to me. BBC via Jalopnik 
• Camp Car filed for bankruptcy back in March, and as part of the deal, the organization is auctioning off its assets. If you’ve ever wanted to pick up a pace car or racing memorabilia, this is a great opportunity. AutoWeek
• Lamborghini has chosen Los Angeles to be the base of its North American operations. Given that the 1/3 of its US sales are made in the Golden State, this seems like a no-brainer. Winding Road
