Last month saw the running of the 25th Great American Race. Fortunately for The Garage, the Great Race had a stop in Nashville, Tennessee, home of contributor Scott Simmons from Editblog.

News out of Mongolia today is that Canadians Kees Nierop and Lawrence Yap are out of the rally following a high speed roll. Fortunately the rally prepped Porsche Cayenne kept them safe, other than the usual bumps and bangs that come from an over.
