Angela and Amber Alert: NASCAR Twins Pose for the Camera

On October 23, 2010, professional racing drivers and sisters Angela and Amber Cope made history by being the first twins to compete in one of the top three series in NASCAR.
The two sisters made their debut at the Camping World Truck Series race with Amber finishing 26th and Angela 30th.
Now, the 28-year old twins are following in the footsteps of NASCAR driver Danica Patrick by posing in the March issue of the men's magazine Maxim with a hot photo-shoot, a taste of which you can get in the video after the break.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model Tori Praver Spreads Out for New 2013 Lexus GS

Lexus is playing the curvalicious card of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Tori Praver in its latest campaign for the all-new 2013 GS sedan.

As the official automotive marketing partner of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit property, the Japanese company is taking advantage (or so to speak…) of Praver and using her in a multi-faceted campaign called TORI 500, showcasing an actual racetrack designed around her body.

Among other things, the campaign includes a four-page spread in the February 14 issue of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine and a Tori 500 game for iPhone users in which you can race the new GS around Praver.

“What better way to help introduce the bold new face of Lexus—the all-new GS—than with a bold new campaign featuring a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model?” said Brian Smith, Lexus vice president of marketing.

“With the new GS, there’s no going back for Lexus. Instead of just looking at the pictures, consumers can share in the fun through our many campaign components, including having Tori appear in their own photos," he added.

[From Lexus PR] Campaign elements include:

• iOS app—Available at Lexus.com/tori500 and iTunes, SUPERMODELED is a camera app allowing people to place the swimsuit model into their own photos with the click of a button.
• Behind-The-Scenes Video—Two of the world’s best professional drivers, race car driver Scott Pruett and stunt driver Greg Tracy, compete on the TORI 500 track (to see who wins a victory lap with Tori in the passenger seat, visit: Lexus.com/tori500 or youtube.com/lexus).
• Print and Online Components—Executions include a four-page spread in the Feb. 14 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and custom tablet integrations featured on iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Xoom and Nook.
• Launch Week Events—Lexus will participate in the marquee New York launch event and SI’s two Las Vegas events, SI Swimsuit On Location and Club SI Swimsuit. Additionally, the automaker is the exclusive presenting sponsor of the first-ever, two-day Beauties & Beats Music Festival, happening at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Feb. 15 -16.

Volvo Videos: Swiss Volvo Driver Keeps Warm the Traditional Way – with a Wood Burning Stove

Here's a quick question. Who do you think is zanier: Pascal Prokop that replaced the passenger seat of his 1990 Volvo 240 station wagon with a… wood-burning stove or the Swiss authorities that approved the car and allow Prokop to use it on public roads? While you think about it we'll tell you that Prokop told news reporters that he opted for the stove over an electric heater because he could keep former burning long after he turned off the car.
And why would he anyone choose to stay inside his car in Switzerland, we hear you ask? The answer comes from Prokop: "When I'm tired or have drunk too much, I want to sleep in the car."
