Between all the drama that has gone on in Formula 1 this year it’s really no shock some teams are leaving. A mix of over the top politics and the fact that BMW has not done well all season we are sure are some reasons why BMW is going to exit after 2009. With a poor economic state on top of all that we are not that shocked BMW would exit this year. The real question is that is anyone going to follow the Germans out the door?
Earlier we posted some of our favorite garages from the Design Driver Maserati and explained the contest. The contest is now over and they have selected a great West Los Angeles home with a unique garage designed overlooking Los Angeles. Holger Schubert the winner designed the garage with two main objectives, “to create a pure and restrained minimalist environment that allows one to focus on the car as a piece of art and to create the ultimate experience for the driver to arrive at home.”
The garage is an addition to a 1953 ranch style home in the hills of Los Angeles. Access to the garage comes from a driveway seperate of the main entrance of the home. This 1,200 square foot space has place for the Maserati, plasma television, couch, built in wall book shelve, storage, a small kitchen, and to top it off a library.

There is no need to adjust your monitor color settings…you are looking at a Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG black in orange. This is by far the most loud and dare I say best looking I have ever seen an AMG Black series. According to the Flickr account where I found the product the car is sitting at the AMG Headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany.

It’s not often you can find a JDM tuner for the Mercedes Benz. The Japanese manage to do European styling in this over the top manner. Ben Schaffer posted this on his blog and I cannot stop admiring this CL550. On top of the VITT widebody kit and wheels the Japanese company makes other parts for the Mercedes Benz. The company has grills, brake kits, and exhausts for Merecedes tuners looking for a JDM touch.

Somehow a Ferrari F-430 wound up at the bottom of a lake…..the story has it that the owner of the F-430 was up at Lake Oakdale and swerved to avoid hitting a boy riding a bicycle. For some reason that we don’t know the car sat at the bottom of the lake for one week, ouch!
