The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback Ralliart.

There are certain things in life that take the two parts from separate worlds and turn them into one purposeful object. One item that springs to mind is the oft-overlooked spork.

Fine folks enjoying fine living while checking out a fine car at a fine establishment…

I got an email the other day asking if I would like to attend a preview of the 2010 Jaguar XJ, being held at the beautiful Pelican Hill resort in Newport Coast, CA.
