A couple of hicks in a Toyota truck start picking on a driver of a Z4 for not signaling. They start following him, with the BMW driver providing the appropriate hand gestures. Through construction zones and dirt roads, this video ends in a most unexpected way.
This is -- used to be -- a 1985 Corvette. The owner, who calls himself "Buckeye", says: "Women love this car. Every time I stop for gas, women come up to me. I could have as many girlfriends as I want -- old ones, fat ones, anything. They're all over me."
LEDs on wheels that can display anything you want -- digital photos, a message, or even an advertising logo. Technically speaking, they're fascinating, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a car with them turned on.
Some kid's dad just got a brand new 2007 Mustang "Eleanor"....of course his son who is 14 is way too excited and with the car in the driveway for 5 minutes asks for the keys, gets in, and proceeds to plow it through the garage wall. Watch dad and friends' reaction.
Dude, being a sheik kinda seems as if it's the business. Harems, all the oil one can slather upon oneself, warm weather, clothes that never go out of style, hanging with T.E. Lawrence, and oh, most importantly, a whole shiek-sized garageload of exotic iron. Or, in Sheik Hamad bin Hamdan of Abu Dhabi's case, aluminum and carbon fiber.
The government of Dubai thought it would be a good idea to put a speed bump on a street where locals tended to speed. Problem is they didn't tell anybody. This Gallardo hit it at over 60 MPH. There's actually a video of the accident. The back end of the Gallardo goes about 5 feet off the ground.
A Singaporian merchant ship carrying nearly 5,000 Japanese cars is taking on water south of the Aleutian islands. A Coast Guard rescue team evacuated the crew of the Cougar Ace, which had been bound for Tacoma, Washington. The ship is still listing and taking on water, but authorities have no plans to save the cars -- among which include nearly 1,400 Mazdas.
Those wacky Germans over at HMS don't share our inhibitions, though, and managed to drop a 5.5L V12 from a BMW 750i into a custom drag bike. If that's not enough, plans are in the works to throw on a couple of turbos and a bit of laughing gas.
Some millionaires decorate their mansions with rare paintings. Richard Moriarty bolted a 1974 Lamborghini to the wall of his Newport Beach estate early Friday. Because Home Depot doesn't sell kits to hang cars as artwork, Moriarty hired a 70-ton crane to lower the Italian sports car through a skylight in his living room.
An AudiWorld member snapped this photo and claims that it really, truly is the way it was installed. Perhaps in Florida, you gotta do what you can to deal with the heat, but this seems extreme.
The owner of a Honda S2000 that he last saw prior to Katrina sweeping through the the South has been contacted by its new owner, who is rebuilding it, after seeing some photos that were previously posted.
The car looks a tad ridiculous, but in fairness, the craftsmanship is really impressive. Look at the detail shot of the rearview mirror after the jump and you'll understand what we mean.
The movie "Redline," starring Eddie Griffin, is being produced by real-estate investor Daniel Sadek. Part of the deal is to use his own vehicles in the film, which includes a nice collection of exotics: a Phantom, a Lamborghini Murcielago, an Enzo Ferrari, a Ferrari F430, a Ferrari Scaglietti and two McLarens. Directed by Andy Cheng, the film will destroy the producer's personal Carrera GT in one scene.
Yes, it's real. The San Francisco Chronicle writes a story and a video of the VW New Beetle, owned by Stanford engineer Ron Patrick, who used a helicopter jet engine that drinks 15 gallons of fuel per minute.
Ever seen a Porsche pulling a caravan (er, RV in Americanese)? No, neither had we. But here it is, a Cayman S spotted by eagle-eyed PHer Sean on the way to the Monaco Grand Prix.
Psycho Patrol car owner Danny Kirby, 21, bought the former Oregon police cruiser on eBay for $2,900. I didn't attract much attention until he redecorated it for a record label content last summer. Kirby, who lives in San Jose, isn't trying to masquerade as a police officer -- despite his uniform -- so it's legal.
Tee-hee. Anyone who has ever been wronged by an officer of the law can't help but let a chuckle escape after seeing this photo of a police cruiser stuck up to its steel wheels in wet concrete.
Take a nice classic Bimmer along with some power tools, and fit it with an ugly interior ... and this results. And this vehicle can be yours! Only in CA ...
"A few weeks back I wrote an article for the Citizen about things I wanted to do before I die. One of my goals was, and is, to drive an Aston Martin. Justin Divaris, MD of Aston Martin SA, got in touch with me early the next week via email to thank me for my article (what!?) and offered me the opportunity to drive my dream car for a day. I quickly scanned the email again… “we will arrange for you to spend a day driving an Aston Martin!” Nope, wasn’t seeing things."
VW is hoping the number of Touareg TDI owners will grow, and demonstrated the diesel ute's mighty pulling power recently in a press event that pitted it against the standing weight of a Boeing 747. The Touareg was "lightly modified" with the addition of 7,030 kg (15,498 lbs.) of ballast weight (!) and the fitment of the 4.56 axle from Touareg V8 model.
There's a report suggesting that there are now counterfeit Ferraris that are being manufactured in China. No photos or details yet, but with the rampant copying of other designs, ranging from cellphones to other vehicles, this doesn't come as a complete surprise.
In the Bay Area, the traffic is so bad at times that it can take two hours to get to the office. One enterprising individual takes advantage of this by making himself available to sit in your passenger seat as you zip through the HOV lane.
A building worker in Sydney's Billyard Avenue, in Elizabeth Bay, evidently thought so yesterday when he found the dark blue sports car parked in a construction zone and decided to move it. The SMS Construction employee hoisted the car two metres into the air before it flipped off the forks and crashed on its roof.
