Wax Your Sack?

LS014515 This past Easter I was hanging at my friends' home. In a post-dinner, way-too-much-food-and-wine coma the conversation turned to body hair maintenance (don't say "manscaping" to me).

Gaywheels review: 2009 Audi A5

Audia5_1 Think about this for a fun time: driving a high-powered purebred sport coupe into the worst storm of a Michigan winter. There will be lots of ice, deep snow, semi trucks spraying salt residue, and crazy lunatics in 4x4 trucks who discover the limits of adhesion by way of center medians and guardrails. Sound fun?
