Seattle is an awesome city, and I love living here. But I wish it took me less that 12 hours of traveling to get to my folk’s place in Florida. I was there over the weekend, and in a funny coincidence, it was warmer here than it was in Tampa. Anyway, here’s the news:

  • Around four o’clock this morning, a tractor trailer overturned near Chicago, spilling 14 tons of Oreo cookies onto I-80. The accident snarled traffic for hours, as clean-up efforts were complicated by herds of fat kids attempting to scarf up the spill. Briet Bart via Autoblog
  • Will Ferrari give the 430 a removable hardtop? It sounds like a wild idea, but a car belonging to the company has been spotted in Maranello wearing just such a hat. Motor Authority
  • While something that appears to be a baby Cayenne has been spotted in Germany, a member of the Porsche brass denies that it will happen, saying all development resources are being poured into the Panamera. But is he to be trusted? World Car Fans
  • American Axle workers aren’t particularly stoked about their new contracts, but at least they’re headed back to work. It’s about time. Detroit News
