This Just In: New on the Net

Today, I’m going to the office of our video editor to record voice overs for the footage I shot while on Bullrun. Hopefully I won’t sound like an idiot. Cross your fingers. Anyway, here’s the news:

• It happens to the best of us, and as it turns out, it happens to the best of the best too. How do we know? Well, while testing the F430 Prototype on the ‘Ring, F1 champ Michael Schumacher cracked up the car. World Car Fans

• For those who had feared otherwise, the Toyota juggernaut is not invincible. The company has just lowered its sales expectations for 2009. LA Times
