Emanuelle Vandelay

Emanuelle has a history of working for an undisclosed number of glossy women magazines, until she realized that she can do the same thing, only better and for a much broader audience, in the online environment. Considering her "area of expertise" mainly consists of advice bits for the ladies, she will mostly help our feminine readers in the Girls Only section. See? Estrogen and cars sometimes do mix! Her hobbies include shopping, Pilates and meddling with some men's minds. In other words, she'll get along with our female users just fine.

Christmas Wish List
My best friend is a kindergarden teacher. She is a very funny storyteller, she has a gift. All her little stories have a certain charm. I asked her what is the secret and I learned why kids love her. Behind every action, gesture, look or play sits only one thing: ... >> Read more
 
Women and Cars Preconceptions
In men's thinking, a woman can't simply talk about cars, she can't simply love them and can't actually drive any car out there. Also, when a man sees a car, he immediately catalogs it, before stating what segment it belongs to, as either a girl's car or a man's ... >> Read more
 
S-Klasse and G-Klasse, a Family in Moscow

Intelligent Dust, the Time Machine and the Personal Rocket

Svetlana Kapanina – The Woman
I read Svetlana Kapanina's story in the international media. I read it just like I read about Nadia Comaneci – with admiration towards the supernatural. People like these give us the chance to cross the rational barrier and see beyond the human limits. ... >> Read more
 
A Lady at the Wheel
We've started to get the hang of blaming the planet and its every inhabitant for the life we're living; even more, everybody agrees with us and so we find ourselves in a huge flow of vilification, displeasure, foul words and a generally bad mood. I'll now suggest ... >> Read more
 
Walking Instead of Driving
A person uses about 2 Kcal per minute by seating on a chair. That person will double that consumption just by sitting up and taking a few steps. By speeding up the metabolism it he/she will use about 7 kcal per minute. This way, a number of things are ... >> Read more
 
'merican cars
To wonder about why Americans do keep making cars is like asking yourself "how big is too big". How big is too big a red Dodge? How big is too big a Chrysler? How big is too big the front bumper of a brand-new Jeep Wrangler? Where do I find a ... >> Read more
 
Spring Starts with a BMW 1-Series Cabrio
I like May. There's not a time of the year when the sun is more round, heating everything around you, even... temptation. Its powerful rays tickle my nostrils and tempt me for long strolls, after lunch, under the blossomed linden trees in front of my home. Other ... >> Read more

A Woman's Encounter with a Bentley
I learned about the meeting with it in the last minute and so I didn't get to prepare myself in any way. I waited for it for two hours wearing a cap with the bill on the side, my used Sunday-jeans and a flowery blouse. I had sports shoes - that was the good part ... >> Read more
 
Moment, go away, the next one is more beautiful!
