Ok, for those of you that didn’t know, I am a HUGE Mustang fan. There’s just nothing like them. Sure, you can have your Nissan this, or your BMW that, but nothing beats the feel of a Mustang. It’s a visceral thing. Well, today as I was busily scouring the internet for some automotive appeasement, I came across this: Jay Leno drives Mustang. 

What else can I say? Turn the volume up, set the lights low, and enjoy.

The newest Ford crossover, the Fairlane Flex, has a new mini-site where potential buyers can build, spec and price their own vehicle. Although the pricing shown is not official, it gives buyers a good idea of what they’ll need to pay for this new kiddie/surfboard/parts/band stuff hauler.

Ok, on the forefront, I have seen Godfather once.  And I didn’t pick up on the tie-in.  So maybe I am the guy who doesn’t laugh at the joke because I didn’t “get it.”  But beyond that, the ad is just stupid.  Why would you say, “putting old luxury on notice” and then show the R8?  If you are going to say luxury, show the A8.  But I wouldn’t have even said that, maybe consider saying “sports car?”  But I guess they can’t say that, because the new GT-R is going to put sports cars on notice.

Let me know what you thought, because the general thoughts seems to be that most car guys liked the spot.

Now the e-trade stuff… “and uhhh, I really underestimated the creepiness”  A+

Chip Foose, Boyd Coddington and Troy Trepanier are probably three of the first names that come to mind when one thinks of custom cars. Likewise, lots of chrome, mag wheels and some sort of scoop or spoiler are probably the first images one has when thinking of muscle cars. Steve Strope, the founder and owner of Pure Vision Design, has a different way of doing things. Read the rest of this entry »

Fast and Furious 4 is filming early this year, and I heard on Extra (in between reports of Britney flipping the f out) that Vin Diesel is supposed to be in it. (Yay?)

Of course, they are gonna need some fine whips for this epic!

Check out what kind of cars they are looking for after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember that TV commercial of all the Porsche’s revving? Well now the site is live, Cayenne GTS Bloodlines. On it you can “rev” multiple Porsche models and gain insight on their latest model.

But the enthusiast in all of us is going to run to the Audio IQ, where you are asked to take a test to identify various Porsche models based on, revving, deceleration, down shifting, etc. As you guess correctly, you can track your scores against other visitors and unlock content in the downloads section.

There is also a portion where owners will be able, to eventually upload video of them revving the engine in their Porsche.

This is a new video/commercial for the Audi R8 and its subsequent launch in the UK. According to Audi it takes 70 workers to fit  the 5,000 unique parts together. Thus, they only produce 25 R8s a day. So I am hoping you get the whole, “slowest car we’ve ever built” bit. Check out the R8’s microsite, but don’t be surprised if the 360 functionality crashes your Firefox.
