Uh-oh

There have been updates on some of my older posts, and these updates can either bring good or bad news. Unfortunately, the problem is there have only been bad things happening lately. First of all, Chris Hrabalek's wonderful New Stratos will never see the lights of the production line. That's right... the project to produce the machine was canned. Which is a very awful thing for all the Lancia fans out there. But it's not over yet. The 2011 update for the BMW 1-Series is permanent... just take a look at the maker's website and behold the magnificience of disproportion! Seriously...? And the final bad thing: people living in countries like mine will have their wallet tenderized if they try to buy a simple, cheap car. And that's because in Portugal, for example, something that in the US costs around 15 K will cost 100 thousand euros. YES. A HUNDRED THOUSAND. Now think how happy we feel wandering around in this massive recession! And the taxes keep rising... on and on.
