Scattered Cash Closes German Autobahn for Half Hour

Filed under: Wheels, Wealth



If you're planning on test driving a new convertible on the Autobahn, better keep that wad of cash secured. One 23-year-old man apparently failed to heed those words of caution, sending a fat stack of hundred, two-hundred and five-hundred euro bills flying through the air and scattering all over the road near Hanover, Germany. Police arrived at the scene and spent half an hour helping the man recover 20,000 of the 23,000 euros that went airborne, but reportedly couldn't find the remaining 3,000. Local law enforcement warned potential scavengers from looking for the remainder of the cash, so don't go booking your flights just yet.

Piloti Spyder Driving Shoes

Filed under: Gadgets, Wheels, Shoes

When it comes to driving footwear, there are good ideas and then there are bad ideas.

A good idea? Piloti Spyder SV Series Driving Shoes.
A bad idea? Manolo Blahniks.

The driving shoe of choice for car-world enthusiasts, the Pilotis are not like your everyday athletic shoe. With a sleeker tread and narrower sole sides, these shoes are designed to avoid getting snagged on car pedals. Optimized for stability and walking comfort, Pilotis boast thick, stiff soles. The trademarked Roll Control heel helps drivers ensure that they have precise handling and control over the amount of pressure applied to the gas or the brake pedals.

And while you might not want to stumble into Bungalow 8 wearing a pair (after all, the Manolo's are better for that), the next time you are zipping along the Autobahn or flying through the streets of Monte Carlo, be sure to bring your Pilotis. Price $74.95.
