Every year, Volkswagen takes a collection of its cars and modifies them for the Southern Wörthersee show in the US.

SoWo, as it's called, is a Stateside analogue to the actual Wörthersee car show in Europe.

Arteon R-Line SEMA Concept

This year, the concepts are just as interesting as in years past, so long as you like aftermarket wheels and a whole lot of low.

These concepts are a good representation of what a little bit of ingenuity (and more than a little bit of money) can do to spruce up the car in your driveway.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
