First Ford Fiesta Movement Car Stolen in the U.S.

The guy pictured above with the kitsch sunglasses that we're absolutely sure you're just dying to make a comment about, is Jake Bronstein and he is the first person among the 100 Fiesta Movement agents to have his car stolen. FoMoCo confirmed Jake's story through Scott Monty, head of social media at Ford. According to Monty's twitter feed, the stolen 'hot magenta' Fiesta is equipped with a GPS homing device so unless the thief finds a way to deactivate it, it shouldn't take long for authorities to catch up with him.

But even in the rare case that the police doesn't find the car, we're willing to make a bet that Ford will have made up for the loss with all the publicity it's getting on the matter...

13-Year-Old Indonesian Masters Subaru Impreza Group N Rally Car

While other children his age try to complete a rally stage from the comfort and ease of their computer, a 13 year old Indonesian schoolboy, called Sean Galael is going for the real deal. The promising youngster has attracted media attention after winning the first two rounds of the KFC Junior Rally Sprint in Indonesia in a Prodrive Impreza Group N rally car. And yes, we're talking about the same spec high-powered Impreza as used in the Production World Rally Championship. Impressive to say the least.

In 2008, aged at just 12, Sean co-drove Prodrive's own works test driver, Dave Maslen, and former Australian rally champion, Cody Crocker, to victories in the Indonesian Rally Championship. For this year, the young Indonesian will once again sit in the passenger's side co-driving the Serge Motorsport Prodrive Impreza N14 in the Indonesian series.

Unlicensed 16-Year-Old Jumps Pool and Lands into Home with his Father's Saleen Mustang

It's the same old story, just different names, places and cars. A 16-year-old teen without a driver's license from Placentia, California decided to take his dad's Saleen Mustang for a very quick spin around the block. And when we're talking quick we mean it, as according to Placentia police Sgt. Ken Alexander, the teen was going around 85mph or 137km/h before he lost control (duh...) of the Saleen Mustang crashing into a brick wall, jumping over a pool (!!!) and ending up into the family room of a neighboring house.

Unfortunately the teen learned a very harsh lesson from the crash as he suffered multiple injuries, including a broken leg, ankle and back. Luckily, even though the family was inside the home at the time of the incident, no one was injured.

As many anticipated, MINI's celebrations for the brand's 50 anniversary at Silverstone in the UK on 22 – 24 May 2009 will include the unveiling of a special edition model.

Pull Over to the Right for BMW's 407HP X6 xDrive50i Ambulance

Assuming that there's enough money going around in the world of medical care to afford a rapid-response vehicle that could reach the scene of an accident well before the regular van or truck-based ambulances get there, BMW has created a fully functional study for such a vehicle based on the X6 xDrive50i. Powered by a 407 horsepower 4.4-liter V8, the X6 Ambulance features all the necessary equipment on board along with more LED lights than we can count to promptly notify the other drivers on the road. The X6 Ambulance will be making its premiere at this week's RETTmobil trade show for rescue and mobility vehicles in Germany.

Sure it looks menacing enough to scare the hell out of anyone catching a glimpse of it from their rear-view mirror - and you may call us boring, but in our book's, there's something wrong about a modified Ferrari with aerodynamic knickknacks and a custom paint finish that could easily land a role in the next sequel of the Fast and Furious.

VIDEO: Mitsubishi Colt Flies 100 Feet Into the Air, Lands on Building Rooftop!

This is one of those stories that has you scratching your head in bafflement and asking yourself 'how the heck did this happen?'. Not that all of your questions will be answered, but according to reports from the German media, the 23-year-old driver of the late 1980's Mitsubishi Colt (also known as the Mirage in certain markets) lost control of the car in the Bavarian town of Stadtprozelten and somehow used a nearby railroad embankment as a jumping platform to literally fly almost 100 feet (about 30m) into the air landing on the rooftop of a building!

According to the German police, the driver that suffered serious injuries from the accident was under the influence of alcohol. And while that may explain how he lost control of the vehicle, we're still puzzled to as how he actually managed to fly onto the rooftop.
