f1

an interesting article from jalopnik about how rich people and celebrities party at the monaco grand prix...if i could go to one f1 race, it would be monaco...

a beast of a car...

mini-engine

pretty cool article about a guy who makes fully functional mini-engines...

amg c 63

pretty cool set up he has in his garage

la auto show 2012

some pics from the la auto show...it is definitely scaled down with a lot less cars...almost no exotics and a few prototypes...it wouldn't have been much more different if i had just gone to the auto square and looked around...i would have saved on gas and admission and probably would have gotten some free donuts and coffee from the car dealerships

bentley continental that will race next year in a few gt3 races...this one is over 2000 lbs lighter than the regular one below...gonna be fun to see it go up against the likes of porsche and ferrari...

regular road version of the one above...i would buy this if i were a billionaire

porsche cayman...a porsche that i could realistically afford when i hit my high 40s to early 50s...just in time for the stereotypical mid-life crisis although technically i'm already at my "mid-life"

a nice fast wagon...one of the few american cars i would consider getting if i were rich, but i would need a new seat installed...they did a very poor job in designing the seat...

special "hot wheels" edition camaro...it was made by chevy and hot wheels for this year's sema...i was able to get one at a recent k-mart hot wheels collector day

the camaro is one of the few american cars that i like...visibility from inside the car is terrible though

jaguar xfr-s, their m5 fighter...finally, a jaguar that i like or is it because it looks similar to the volvo below?...either way, this is a good car for jaguar..

polestar volvo s60...if i were a billionaire, i would buy this

polestar c30...they need to make both into production cars

bmw m5...they had nothing else good...i was hoping they would have the m1 since they're supposed to be working on a new version of it

i wish they made a production version of the hsv-10 instead...acura/honda need a car to go against the gt-r and lfa, but this one doesn't look like a good candidate to me

imagine this as a production car...much better than the concept above

cars can have a soul...it's not a soul in the spiritual sense, but their design and engineering spark a passion with people...it is similar to looking at a great painting or some other work of art...there is some intangible quality that separates it from being just a box with wheels

polestar

first the c30 and now the s60...they need to make this into a production car...

a few good sites about die cast car collecting...my new hobby...

custom car emblems

some cool emblems for your car...i think the firefly one would have looked better without the oval...

falcon millennium edition, atari 2600, and ncc-1701-d are pretty cool...

elantra?

i think hyundai finally built a car that i might consider owning...

if you have a keyless entry one, you might want to get a different alarm...

polestar

someone paid $300k for a volvo s60?!?!...one more to add to the list of things i would get if i were a billionaire

nsx

the new nsx commercial for the superbowl...looks like honda isn't messing around...it's about time that they got around to making fun cars again instead of trying to turn into boring old toyota...i think it's a pretty funny commercial, and seinfeld's acting is better here than most seinfeld episodes

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/01/30/seinfeld-dumps-porsche-to-promote-acura-nsx-during-super-bowl/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fautoblog+%28Autoblog%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

autoblog's headline is misleading...seinfeld is a huge porsche fan, but no reason why a car guy can't like other cars

honda is going to have a tough job of topping this...senna at suzuka test driving the nsx with loafers...his input is probably one of the main reasons why this car is still considered one of the great ones

senna tribute by top gear

i was hoping the hsv-10 was going to be the nsx replacement or at least go into production

rip dan wheldon

most people were probably watching football, but if you were watching indy, you would have seen dan wheldon's last race...it was supposed to be danica patrick's last race before moving to nascar permanently, but there was a large crash that killed wheldon...the race was not finished, and a five lap salute around the track was done in his honor instead

daily commuter

for the apocalypse...it's really a prototype of a humvee replacement

cup holders replaced with gun holders...my kind of luxury in a car

porsche

nice video from porsche at the frankfurt motor show...one goal is to try to go to all the major international car shows...the exciting part of the video is that he mentions that porsche is getting back to lmp1 racing...gt racing is the heart of porsche racing but lmp1 is cutting edge automotive technology rivaling f1...only if they aired le mans instead of nascar in the us

one day, i hope to own a porsche...and a ferrari...even if it's a used one...a slightly used gt3 for about 60k would be a bargain

arcimoto

electric city car approved by mal...

if this is a city dweller's only vehicle, then i can see the environmental benefits...if this is a secondary car, then that diminishes a bit...

dtm

bmw is finally back in dtm, and they unveiled their concept m3...pretty intimidating but i doubt the real race car will be all black like this one

paramount marauder

carscoop has an article about one of the episodes from the next season of top gear...another candidate for the car for the apocalypse (zombie or rapture...take your pick)
