It's a car . . . It's an accordian . . . It's a car AND an accordian.

Rinspeed Presto is a concept car that could solve your parking problems. At the switch of a button, the car can be shortened from a four passenger mode to a two passenger mode for parking in those ultra tight spaces.

The morphing/accordion thingy operation is done by an electric motor, which crunches up your car in seconds. In stretch mode, the additional space can also be used as a pick-up bed for cargo when the rear-seat backrests are folded down. The Presto is powered by a four-cylinder, 1.7-litre "common-rail" turbo diesel engine. What will they think of next? Read more on the Presto.

This is why they pay more for First Class . . .

The acress -- bored, popping pills, and with nothing else to do during the 10-hour transatlantic flight from L.A. to London -- reportedly stripped off her clothes and tried to climb into the bed of a sleeping stranger.

, A British Airways spokeswoman only confirmed that, "First-class passengers on board Flight BA 282 from Los Angeles to Heathrow reported that a female passenger in the cabin was behaving strangely."

A witness said, "People recognized she was Lara Flynn Boyle and saw her popping pills on board early in the flight."

"She was starkers," the witness claimed. (Obviously a Brit)

"She woke a passenger up, tried to get into bed with him, pulled open the blind and said, 'We're landing, get your clothes on,' even though we were more than four hours away from London."

New Jeep's Got a Hemi, and More

Posted by Fara Kearnes at 11:55 PM |

Yep, it's got a Hemi -- two of 'em if you're asking.

Behold the DaimlerChrysler new Jeep Hurricane: a brawny off-roader powered by two of the automaker's famous V-8 engines.

And look at that picture!! The 'cane is able to turn complete circles in the same spot! This beats my old Jeep Wrangler all to hell.

It's still just a concept, of course, but you can read Detroit News for the scope.
