| Man dries his socks in the back of his convertible while driving Posted: 16 Oct 2009 06:45 AM PDT  Ugh, in cases such as these, I am a bit ashamed because I’m Romanian. I am forced to share the “lovely” Bucharest traffic with individuals such as the guy above who scraped together enough money to go to Germany and buy a second hand convertible Ford Escort from the 1980s, all because he wanted to impress the ladies back home with his fancy ride. But it seems that before going out in the evening with his “harem” he needed to dry his socks, and because he had a some business around the city, what better way to dry them than to fold down the soft top on his ride, hand a piece of string from one side of the back seat to the other, and put them on it with a couple of cloth-hangers. It’s always nice to see the ingenuity of our people put to good use, especially when it comes to cars. Knowing our people, it’s only a matter of time before something else of this caliber appears.

| The new 2010 Renault Megane RS gets detailed, full photo gallery included Posted: 16 Oct 2009 06:24 AM PDT  Renault has just detailed its newest entry into the hot hatchback market: the Megane RS, straight from its performance division Renault Sport. Based on the new generation of the Megane, this performance model will be powered by a 2-liter 16-valve engine which develops 250 HP at 5,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 340 Nm at 3,300 rpm. This unit will take the Megane RS from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6,1 seconds, to a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph), all with a medium fuel average of 8.4 liter/100 km (28 mpg). Among the many new things is the fact that you can choose which type of chassis you want in the car, either a Sport or a Cup one, with the former being designed for day to day use with occasional races, and the latter only for track use, being fitted with a limited slip differential. On the outside, the the RS bodykit is represented by a new front spoiler with a bigger air vent, a Formula 1-inspired front lip complete with LED daytime running lights, and on the back with an angular exhaust built into the rear bumper. The Sport Yellow paint job further highlights the nature of this hot hatch alongside the 19-inch Steev wheels. On the inside, the strong colors persist, as the yellow is present in the background of the dials, in the stitches on wheel and on the Recaro sport seats. Various aluminum inserts are also present, including on the pedals for the driver. In terms of technology, the Megane RS can certainly flaunt quite a lot of interesting systems, including the Renault Sport Dynamic Management, which incorporates all of the driver aides, like the ESP, ASR or traction control, which can all be turned on, off or into sport mode, depending on the requirements of the driver. The RS Monitor will present all of the data from the engine, from turbo pressure to oil temperature, current power and torque levels or even the G forces the car is experiencing. Overall, the new Renault Megane RS is definitely looking great, hopefully we’ll get a chance to test it out in the future and tell you just how this pocket rocket fairs. Until then, enjoy the gallery below. Photo Gallery: 2010 Renault Megane RS
