The time we’ve been talking about is almost here, the Los Angeles stop of the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Tour is coming 2 Tuesdays from now, November 16th. We’ve previewed several of the previous events (check out San Francisco, Austin and Miami), but the one we’re most excited about is at hand. Lost In […]

The festival of vehicular iniquity that is the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Tour is about to hit its 6th and second-to-last stop, Miami. Previous events have been a blast (check out the San Francisco and Austin previews), but there are few cities in the US more primed for a good night out, and seeing […]
