Alan Gilbert conducts the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in September. Add a new one to the irate reactions triggered by incessant ringing of a cell phone: bringing one of the world’s great symphony orchestras to a dead stop in mid-performance.
In a disastrous meeting of an old classic and new technology Tuesday night, the New York Philharmonic was performing Gustav Mahler’s Ninth Symphony — a haunting piece some say the composer wrote as he faced his own death — when a cell phone started ringing in the audience.
Classical music fans were quick to light up Twitter and blogs later with details of what happened in the storied performance hall.
“After the last climax, the movement begins to wind down, toward that sublime last page of the score where music and [...]
Starting this week and lasting through February 28, General Motors will pay the driving school tuition of any new Corvette buyer. Previously, the General only offered the program to new Corvette ZR-1 owners.
GM says the generous decision was made to add “to an unmatched set of experiences available to Corvette owners”, while also marking the beginning of Corvette Racing’s 2011 American Le Mans season.
Owners have a year from their car’s delivery (or sale) date to sign up and use their two-day driving school pass at either of Corvette’s official outfits – Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving near Phoenix, Arizona or Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at the Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch outside of Las Vegas, Nevada.
Pick up a 638-horsepower ZR-1, though, and you’ll get the benefit of one extra day at school.
Student’s have to pay their own travel, accommodations, and food bills, but nonetheless, it’s a good value when [...]

DETROIT – Chevrolet today unveiled the 2013 Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition – the fastest, most capable convertible in Corvette’s history – as well as a 60th Anniversary Package that will be available on all 2013 Corvette models.

For a short time there was a free power wash open for business just next door. A driver, who must have had a very dirty car, decided to take down a light poll and fire hydrant and open a free car wash in the process. The city decided that this type of open to the public free car wash was using an excessive amount of water, which the city was paying for, and closed it.

Money was subsequently collected from victims across the United States and supposedly put into escrow accounts with PayPal and eBay Motors. The money was then siphoned from the accounts, with millions of [...]
