A Very Close Shave
A two-car crash on a Florida highway was caused by a 37-year-old woman who was shaving her bikini area while in the driver's seat, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Her ex-husband was steering from the passenger seat.
Megan Mariah Barnes and her ex-husband Charles Judy were driving southbound Tuesday morning when they slammed into the back of a pick-up driven by David Schoff after he slowed to take a turn, CBS station WFOR-TV reports.
Barnes said she was meeting her boyfriend in Key West and wanted to be "ready for the visit," trooper Gary Dunick explained.

What May The Future Hold For MINI?
McDowell also indicated he wouldn’t be surprised if the MINI Roadster came to own the entry-level roadster segment that Mazda currently has locked-down with the Miata.
- McDowell won't be surprised if the Countryman is the most fuel efficient crossover offered in the U.S.
- It is likely that MINI’s All4 AWD system will show up in other models in addition to the Countryman.
- The recent engine updates made on European models will arrive for the 2011 model year cars in North America.
- Future MINI engines will likely get smaller and new drivetrain technology, such as a dual-clutch transmission, is likely to be added.
