Lancia Is Returning To Rally With This Little Five-Speed Three-Cylinder Hatchback
The Lancia Ypsilon HF is a compact electric car sold in Europe that, I’m guessing, even the nerdiest among you don’t care all that much about. Cars like the Stratos Stradale, 037, and of course, Delta Integrale are still consistently car-fan favorites for their distinctly of-era looks and impressive performance. Anyway, this month, Lancia is using the rally car’s debut to make some noise about opening dealerships in Belgium, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands.

Watch An Audi S5 Black Out To Lose An Arkansas Trooper
It seems some people love the challenge of trying to catch the attention of an Arkansas State Police trooper and then get away. We don’t see too many who are entirely successful in this illegal endeavor, and the stakes are high, plus it’s incredibly dangerous, so we also don’t endorse trying this. Did this Arkansas trooper go a little too hard? However, it’s interesting to watch this suspect in a black Audi S5 toy with a trooper by flying past him while blacked out, then playing it cool while tu

The law requiring identification and driver’s licenses to meet federal security standards was passed in 2005 and was supposed to go into effect in 2008.
