...impractical transport. Since 1998, VW has pumped $155 million into the brand, with Lambo currently producing two models (the Gallardo is the other) for the first time in its 41-year history. One feature the Murciélago roadster borrows from VW's Audi A4 convertible is roll bars that pop up within milliseconds in a rollover. But the Murciélago, named for a legendary Spanish bull so fierce it was spared by a matador, is as outrageous as Lambo's prior exotica, cars like the Countach and Diablo...

...particularly cool (and free!) event features the white-hot and very far-out electro-pop duo Fischerspooner. They won’t be performing, but will instead be showing an exhibition of 4x6 photos (that’s 4x6 feet, not inches) and giving away refreshments and copies of their new CD. The Capitol Records-sponsored party takes place all day on April...
