    I received this tip from Tim about a really cool website, ScooterMcRad’s Whatchaworks. This is one of the coolest sites I have seen in a long time, and I thought I would highlight one of his features he does every Friday called Friday Cutaways… Tim described this as cutaway porn, but that is a really…

    Take one expensive four-ringed German supercar, add an experience driver and film crew, and finally throw in one sweet-ass matte-finished Audi camera rig. Our friends at WebRides got their grubby little sparco-gloved hands on a 2010 Audi R8 5.2 (starts at $146,000) and drove the crap out of it at El Toro. Thanks for the…
