A report by the Associated Press states that the wreck began when one Ferrari driver lost control, hit the center median, then ricocheted across the highway.

World AIDS Day 2011: Five Things You Can Do To Fight HIV & AIDS
We’re going to veer away from the topic of cars for just a minute to talk about something special: World AIDS Day.
When it comes to HIV and AIDS, we’re in a very different place now than we were just a few years ago. Today’s medicines have dramatically increased life expectancies for people living with HIV — as much as 53 years (or more) from the time of infection. Advances in technology also mean that many scientists are once again talking about a cure for HIV — something they haven’t done in decades. The battle isn’t over, but slowly, HIV is becoming a chronic condition rather than a fatal disease. And yet, there’s still a huge stigma surrounding HIV-positive people. That has to change.

2011 Tokyo Auto Show: Toyota Fun-Vii Concept
Do you think Apple’s legal department buys into the theory that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? We sure hope so, if only for the sake of Toyota’s totally wacky Fun-Vii Concept, shown this week during the Tokyo Auto Show. This three-passenger vehicle looks more like the lovechild of a mouse-pad and iPhone than any Toyota we’ve seen.

10 Things We’re Thankful For This Year
Before we close up shop for the long weekend ahead, we’d like to take just a moment and share a few of the things for which we’re thankful this holiday season. This isn’t a snarky list — in fact, it’s a little earnest, a little hokey — but there are worse things to be, we suppose.

2012 Buick LaCrosse eAssist: Driven
The good news, especially if you’re a Buick PR rep, is that I’ve really enjoyed a week spent with the 2012 LaCrosse eAssist. The handsome 5-passenger sedan is comfortable, quiet, roomy, and it offers an EPA rated 25/36-mpg in city and highway driving. The bad news, also if you’re a Buick PR rep, is that I’m kind of embarrassed to be gushing over the fine attributes of a Buick sedan.

2012 Honda Civic Si Coupe: Test Drive
My boyfriend says I’m too quick to judge people. So allow me to rectify this bad habit, at least when it comes to cars. My first impressions of the 2012 Honda Civic were definitely less than flattering. The bland exterior redesign left me indifferent. The Civic is still a handsome car, though the new one sure doesn’t look much different from the outgoing model.

Buick Signs On As Lead Sponsor Of The OUT100
General Motors has been on a roll the past couple of years. Since emerging from a contentious bankruptcy in 2009, the company has increased profits, shown a willingness to innovate, and generated more buzz for its vehicle lineup than we’ve seen in ages (cf. the 2011 Chevy Camaro).

Nissan’s “Taxi Of Tomorrow” Hosts Ca$h Cab For Charity In NYC: Video
As part of its recent “Taxi of Tomorrow” exhibition in New York City, Nissan hosted a Ca$h Cab for charity event with host Ben Bailey fielding questions. Yours truly and my boyfriend, Matthew, opted to play for The Trevor Project, a crisis intervention and suicide prevention resource for LGBTQ youth. I’m happy to report that we did the gay community proud as Ni$$an Taxi Trivia Team 1.

Italian Fiat 500 Comes To America
Life was pretty boring at Chrysler dealers after the retro-cool PT Cruiser hit the skids. If you wanted a compact car, well, good luck. There were none to be had, at least in Chrysler showrooms.
