Bluestar put on a "Vote Republican" bumper-sticker.

PhilipMSPT will need a three-wheel bike.

New Shelby GTs will sell at a discount.

BMW I-Drive and Audi MMI systems become easy to use.

Limo-firms will get used to the new Caddy/Lincoln flagships.

Henry (rominl)'s post-count starts over.

You can actually believe car-dealer ads.

Subaru WRX jocks learn more road-manners.

Mustang V8 jocks learn any road-manners.

Lindsay Lohan kept a new car more than two weeks without wrecking it.

President Obama decided the new CAFEs were too strict, and he'll try and roll them back.

Happy April-Fool's Day, everyone
Hilarious Mike
