One week gives you a little, the next gives you more than you can handle. We're back with F1 in Spain this weekend. The standings are looking a bit more familiar to years past, but with more players in the game from top to bottom. Mercedes engines have been relatively dominant, old news yea, but pit work for the cars running said engines (Petronas and McLaren) has been bad enough to negate that advantage completely over the past couple races. Nico Rosberg was able to take advantage of his engine and reliable pit work for his first GP win not too long ago, but Vettel got his grove back with his first Pole and GP of the season, in Bahrain. Things are as exciting in F1 now as I could ever remember and I'm sure we'll be looking back on this time fondly in another ten years. ALMS, Grand-AM and V8 Supercars action this weekend for the mospo-fans out there. Don't forget it's mothers day this Sunday! Snag a card and enjoy your weekends.

Current Events: 2014 Lamborghini Urus reveal

Lamborghini unveiled their all new sport-ute, the Urus, at Volkswagen Group night in Beijing at the end of April. If you couldn't tell already, all auto manufacturers regardless of the size of their parent companies need more sales. This doesn't seem like a successor to the über rare LM 001 (Rambo Lambo), but should easily make it to music videos and sports arena parking lots once released.
