Five expensive cars in Monaco pile-up

Monaco witnessed a pile-up of five really expensive cars. With hundreds of tourist watching in horror, this time around again the weapon of destruction was a £250,000 ($ 408,135) Bentley Azure. The Bentley crashed into a Mercedes, a Ferrari, a Porsche and an Aston Martin that to right in front of the famous Place du Casino! 
The first victim was a white Mercedes S Class worth £75,000 ($122,485) who was scraped badly at the side, as the Bentley proceeded on to ram into a £140,000 black ($228,625) Ferrari F430. The next two cars to be scraped were a £140,000 ($228,625) Aston Martin Rapide and a £80,000 ($130645) Porsche 911 that suffered damage at the front.
However more humiliation was staring at the face of the driver of the Bentley and her two co-passengers, as the doors of their convertible jammed. The entire cost of repairs is estimated at over £40,000 ($65,340) as the Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin and the Bentley would all need new front wings and bumpers, with added expense of door repairs for the Bentley.

Starbucks Special Edition packaging

Starbucks Special Edition packaging starts with a different approach to minimizing material used. The brew bundle is labeled with the motto “Less is more,” which acts as a clever description of the cardboard box and the supreme flavorful taste of just a small cup of this brand of coffee.

Appropriately, the parcel contains a tiny round mug designed to be filled with the full-bodied hot beverage, as well as three types of the coffee house’s favorite grounds. The four items are enveloped in a simple corrugated carton that can be effectively assembled by person with no adhesives necessary. Created by Carla Mezher, Starbucks Special Edition packaging saves on the economic and environmental costs of both material and labor.
