			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lindsay Lohan has had roughly one car crash, arrest, or DUI for every car she&#8217;s owned. And as you&#8217;ll see below, the former child star has owned a <em>lot</em> of cars.</p>
<p>After a string of hits in the early naughties that included <em>Freaky Friday, </em><em>Mean Girls</em>, and <em>Herbie: Fully Loaded</em>, Lindsay Lohan earned a reputation as a party girl. Her next string of hits was of the vehicular kind, with crashes in Studio City (August, 2004), West Hollywood (October, 2005), London (November, 2006), and Beverly Hills (May, 2007).  She&#8217;s also had several fender benders and has been accused of bumping into paparazzi with her car on multiple occasions.</p>
<p>Authorities finally got serious with the actress when cocaine was found in her Mercedes SL65 AMG convertible following the 2007 crash. Though she was placed on probation, reports of Lohan&#8217;s partying and bad behavior did not let up. On July 6th of this year, Judge Marsha Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in prison and 90 days at an in-patient rehab facility for violating the terms of her probation.  She&#8217;s scheduled to begin her sentence on July 20th.</p>
<p>So what does a hard-partying celebrity like Lindsay Lohan drive? We combed through the interwebz and found eight models with confirmed LiLo sightings. And while we appreciate Miss Lohan&#8217;s taste in automobiles, we do not approve of her driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.  Stay safe out there, people!</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/mercedes-benz/sl-class/2005/2dr-roadster-6-0l-amg/media"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Mercedes SL65 AMG</span></a></h2>
<p>Lohan crashed this $180,000 convertible into the back of a minivan in 2005. The actress claimed that she was looking over her shoulder to avoid paparazzi and didn&#8217;t see the van as it slowed to make an illegal U-turn. At the time, the SL65 AMG was the most expensive version of the SL-Class and featured a twin-turbo V12 engine with just over 600-horsepower. Lohan has since replaced the car with an SL550, which has a more reasonable $100k price tag and 382-horsepower engine.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/ferrari/f430/2009/2dr-convertible-spider"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Ferrari F430 Spider</span></a></h2>
<p>At over $215,000, it&#8217;s a good thing Lindsay hasn&#8217;t wrecked this Italian stallion. She was, however, spotted being driven around LA a few times in a silver model.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Ferrari-F430-Spider.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2297 aligncenter" title="Lindsay Lohan Ferrari F430 Spider" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Ferrari-F430-Spider.jpg" alt="" width="329" height="219" /></a></p>

<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/rolls-royce/phantom/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Rolls-Royce Phantom</span></a></h2>
<p>For a time, Lindsay rented a Rolls-Royce Phantom.  At $380,000, it&#8217;s one of the most most expensive luxury cars in the world. And with a custom matte black paint job, you can rest assured that this Rolls was pricier still.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Rolls-Royce-Phantom.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2298 aligncenter" title="Lindsay Lohan Rolls-Royce Phantom" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Rolls-Royce-Phantom.jpg" alt="" width="361" height="281" /></a></p>

<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/maserati/quattroporte/2007/4dr-sdn-sport-gt-auto"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Maserati Quattroporte</span></a></h2>
<p>Lohan has been spotted all over LA in this rare Italian luxury sedan. She most famously left the car parked outside Samantha Ronson&#8217;s house after the police were called for a domestic disturbance. The authorities later towed the car for a parking violation and it was sold soon afterwords. Lindsay&#8217;s particular model was said to be a 2007 Quattroporte Sport GT, which stickered for $121,000 when new.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/porsche/911/2008/2dr-targa-4s"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Porsche 911</span></a></h2>
<p>Okay, so this iconic German sports car actually belonged to gal-pal/ex, Samantha Ronson. Lindsay was nonetheless spotted in this 911 Targa a few times while shopping in Beverly Hills. The actress certainly has a thing for fast cars, doesn&#8217;t she?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Porsche-911-Targa.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2302 aligncenter" title="Lindsay Lohan Porsche 911 Targa" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Porsche-911-Targa.jpg" alt="" width="348" height="233" /></a></p>

<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/cadillac/escalade/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Cadillac Escalade</span></a></h2>
<p>We already know what you&#8217;re thinking: what celebrity <em>doesn&#8217;t</em> have a Cadillac Escalade? Lindsay Lohan is no exception and has been spotted numerous times in this blingtastic luxury SUV. In keeping with her obsession for fast cars, this Caddy features a 403-horsepower V8 engine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Cadillac-Escalade.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-2303 aligncenter" title="Lindsay Lohan Cadillac Escalade" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Cadillac-Escalade.png" alt="" width="381" height="364" /></a></p>

<h2><a href="http://www.honk.com/mercedes-benz/c-class/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Mercedes C350 sedan</span></a></h2>
<p>The most reasonably priced car that Miss Lohan has been spotted in is this $37,000 Mercedes C350 luxury sedan. Despite the affordable (for a celebrity) price tag, this Benz can still scoot to 60 in less than six seconds. That kind of performance should come in handy if you&#8217;re late for a luncheon at the Ivy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Mercedes-C350.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2304 aligncenter" title="Lindsay Lohan Mercedes C350" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Lindsay-Lohan-Mercedes-C350-e1279234707245.jpg" alt="" width="390" height="424" /></a></p>

<h2><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400497/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Lindsay Lohan&#8217;s Cars: Herbie the Love Bug</span></a></h2>
<p>Who could forget Herbie? Lindsay drove this unlikely race car in Disney&#8217;s 2005 movie <em>Herbie: Fully Loaded</em>. The film features a Volkswagen Beetle with a mind of its own. Sadly, Herbie&#8217;s driving has proven better than Lindsay&#8217;s.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A couple of weeks ago, Mini challenged Porsche to a race at Road Atlanta between the 172-horsepower <a title="http://www.honk.com/mini/cooper/2010/2dr-cpe" href="http://www.honk.com/mini/cooper/">Mini Cooper S</a> and the 385-horsepower <a title="http://www.honk.com/porsche/911/2010/2dr-cabriolet" href="http://www.honk.com/porsche/911/">Porsche 911</a> via <a title="http://www.facebook.com/MINIUSA?v=app_122731241101196" href="http://www.facebook.com/MINIUSA?v=app_122731241101196">Facebook campaign</a>, full page ad in the <em>New York Times</em>, and a <a title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYM6-RkHTCs" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYM6-RkHTCs">viral video</a>.  Needless to say, Mini&#8217;s little car is super scrappy.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mini-vs-Porsche-poster.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2008 aligncenter" title="Mini vs Porsche poster" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mini-vs-Porsche-poster.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="401" /></a></p>
<p>Despite the fact that Porsche was favored to win, the sports car maker initially declined the challenge with a buzzkilling letter to Mini chief, Jim McDowell, that stated, &#8220;Porsche doesn&#8217;t race for fame, stunts or publicity.&#8221;</p>
<p>In response, Mini (no doubt in an effort to be subtle) launched an <a title="http://jalopnik.com/5562928/mini-launches-air-raid-on-porsche-headquarters" href="http://jalopnik.com/5562928/mini-launches-air-raid-on-porsche-headquarters">air raid</a> on Porsche’s headquarters and released, yet another, <a title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhYmv0yySaY" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhYmv0yySaY">viral video</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mini-air-raid.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-2009 aligncenter" title="Mini air raid" src="http://blog.honk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Mini-air-raid.jpg" alt="" width="504" height="253" /></a></p>
<p>And all this back and forth is nothing compared to Mini’s next move &#8211; a spoof on <em>Rocky IV:</em></p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VxO77Z9aR2A&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VxO77Z9aR2A&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p>The German sports car maker finally caved in to the pressure and accepted Mini&#8217;s challenge.  Surprise, surprise: Porsche won the race.  David did not beat the 385-horsepower Goliath:</p>
<p><object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g0fE6tvVdKI&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g0fE6tvVdKI&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object></p>
<p>Despite all the sensational coverage, do you think that this race was a good move on Mini’s part?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Which cars do dad&#8217;s, both young and old, find most attractive?  Some of the answers may surprise you a bit.  Get this one&#8230; the Nissan Cube is #3 on the Honk list.  And while many people think this car is unsightly, it&#8217;s easy to recognize that polarizing cars mean some people will actually love it.  It&#8217;s a statement car for sure.  Since this list is based on people who actually purchased the cars, it is really based on buyers of their cars and how much more do they love the design than others (we index off a baseline and then take the most beloved and rank them).  So while you may not love the Cube, it is certainly ADORED by those who own them.  The results came from over 5,000 Dads!</p>
<p>Side note: We have some incredible data over at Honk that enables us to take a peek at answers to very specific questions from our users.  All of our lists are based on actual consumer input and is not conjured up by a bunch of gear heads on a computer.  We are committed to enhancing our user experience by blending interesting data with tools.  Go ahead and take a look.  If there&#8217;s a burning question  or a fun list you&#8217;d like us to pull, we&#8217;d be happy to give it a shot!  In the near future, we will be actively posting these lists and they will dynamically be part of our search tool (launching in February).</p>
