Sexy Cars

Honda HP-V anybody?

Now there's a car that doesn't seem to deserve to be in a Post entitled "Sexy Cars"

How about a Mondeo STi?

Now that's a bit more like it.

But wait...

...haven't I got those car names a little wrong?

That's a Honda HR-V (an SUV with all the allure of a sexually transmitted infection) and a Ford Mondeo ST TDCi (although the ST Fords have been referred to as STi in the past - sexually transmitted injection perhaps?)

So why am I suddenly linking sexually transmitted diseases to cars?

Because Trevor Noah and The Daily Show have just caught up with this story.

A Missouri woman has been awarded $5,000,000 (yes five million!) after catching HPV from her boyfriend in his car which was insured by big American Insurance company Geico.

He didn't tell her that he was infected and needless to say - he is now her ex-boyfriend.

But that's hardly the car's fault (a Hyundai Genesis apparently) - if they had had sex in his bed, would be claiming on his home insurance?

It turns out this is more to do with a point of law and Geico not putting forward representation when given the opportunity - the BBC have a slightly, very slightly, more sober account from 4 days ago here.

Anyway, for her cheek alone, this woman should be given a clap.
