A big bummer for 2015-2016 Subaru WRX and Forester 2.0XT owners: Subaru has just announced they are recalling both vehicles for turbo intake problems. According to reports, the turbo intake duct can crack, causing the engine to stall.

Callaway plans to build a Corvette AeroWagon this year. The shooting brake version of the Corvette will provide owners with a little extra cargo space, better aerodynamics and all the respect. Room, vroom, etc. Details are still scarce, with Callaway saying they will begin production in the fourth quarter of this year.

Ford has just announced that they will be building a $1.6 billion factory in Mexico. Construction will begin this summer and the factory is expected to employ 2,800 people.

Love the Porsche 911 GT3? Why not purchase an office chair that is made out of the sports car's seats? Porsche is currently selling GT3 seats as rolling office chairs with full seat adjustment functionality. Although they cost $6,570.00, that's well over $100,000 less than the other way to get into a GT3 throne. Still, be prepared for jokes—"You going to get your work done faster, now?"
