Chrome finished Audi R8 can run you bankrupt

If you posses a scorcher like the Audi R8, there isn’t much you should tamper with. But sometimes, the loaded geeks can tend to think otherwise, albeit I love the chrome finishing on a car’s exterior, but in this case it is a blunder.

Definitely not chic by our standards, but expensive, yes!

McLarenSport and Samsonite team up for luxury travel bags

Bringing the oomph and precision of Formula 1 to travel bags, Samsonite has announced its union with McLarenSport to produce a line of luxury travel bags that will not only ensure safety and security but also add style to your traveling. Apart from being lightweight and durable, the trademark of Samsonite’s collection, the new line of luggage presents a high-end wheel suspension system that absorbs the impact of bumpy ground to protect the valuables inside the bag, quite reminiscent of the trendy F1 racing cars, which protect the valuable driver inside. Produced under the “McLarenSport Samsonite Black Label Collection,” the bags (starting at $326) will be launched in Fall/Winter 2009 and be available at all Samsonite stores worldwide.
