Mercedes-Benz Fashion Force in Manhattan

We've all been there: gone out for a quart of milk in our PJs or headed out to town on laundry day in a mis-matched outfit and thought, Good thing there is no such thing as the Fashion Police. Well usually there isn't, but this week in New York the fashion police was out in full force. And this is their ride.

As part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, the German automaker deployed a team of Fashion Enforcers in no less suitable a patrol car than the CLS 63 AMG. Fortunately the fuzz in the four-door coupe aren't looking out for offenders, but spotting stylish trend-setters out and about around town and rewarding them with a ride to wherever they're going.

Dutch Police Impound Bugatti Veyron After Owner's Son Caught Speeding

If you had a Bugatti Veyron in your garage, would you let your 20-year-old son drive it? Then again, if your dad had a Veyron, would you be able to resist the temptation to play Ferris Bueller for the day? In either case, you might want to give it a second thought.

Reports coming in from Holland indicate that local police have impounded one such supercar when the 20-year-old of the owner took it out for a ride, flying by law enforcement at 50 miles per hour over the speed limit. No word on whether the car will ever be returned to its owner, but if it does, we'd suggest he keep those keys well hidden from now on.

Scattered Cash Closes German Autobahn for Half Hour

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.
