Meet Akrapovic ‘Full Moon’...Bike?!

  Being an exhaust company isn’t really easy. It is rather… exhausting. (See what I did here?) The people who work there basically sit and do their magic on a bunch of pipes and different tubes. In order to dig their path through the various difficulties, challenges and, well, a whole world of metal, they should go big and jump the barrier of what is normal and conventional.

Toyota Releases Four-Wheel Drive RAV4 Edition-S

Toyota is releasing a RAV4 Edition-S which comes enhanced with additional equipment. The sad news is that the model will be offered only in Germany.

Very nice accents are also the 18-inch alloy wheels. The car has been based on the "Edition" equipment line. This means tha
