Recently at the L.A. auto show, Ford unveiled the U.S. version of the internationally successful car, the Fiesta.

A weak 1.6 liter 4 cylinder gas engine will be the only option while the rest of the world enjoys their 6 engine options. Show me the diesel! Though you may be mocking the Fiesta for its previous failures, the Fiesta is actually what BP Abu Dhabi world rally team uses and does very well. Swedish driver Kenny Brack used a Fiesta in the X-Games 15 this summer, and beat out more experienced drivers in the popular Impreza and the powerful Lancer Evo. So, though we may be getting somewhere, were not doing it in great speed, style, and were getting bad gas mileage on the way. But, progress is coming.
So I went to my first Nascar Race this summer. I have to say, it rocked. We tried to dress as "white trash" as humanly possible. We thought we would look awesome. Sadly, we fit in...
