1998 New Beetle sets record at 400,000+ miles.

Despite some claims that VWs from the 90s through the early 2000s were terrible cars. We don't agree with that and neither will Alice Mannion. Her 1998 New Beetle recently toppled the 400,000 mile mark. Alice who drives her New Beetle which was purchased used in 2000 every day. And has racked up 40,000+ miles a year since. Her only complaint in that time? A pesky A/C problem. No complaints here. Congratulations Alice.

Police pull over and ticket Mini convoy

It really is a shame when a charity event has to be spoiled by someone, be it a spectator, an event, or in the case of the Southern Ontario Mini Club. The Ontario Provence Police. The club's annual Spring Rattler charity drive was spoiled by the OPP when the entire caravan of over 30 Minis was pulled over and many drivers cited for speeding. The police cited some drivers for going as fast as 50Kmh over the speed limit and were supposedly tracked by a single aircraft. Many members of the club feel that the entire series of events was a set up on part of the OPP which the club notified of the event due to the amount of cars involved. Not to mention the fact that a local news crew was notified and on hand to record the stop, which also later stretched the truth considerably that cars were impounded, drivers arrested, and children taken into custody of a child services organization.

Having read many of the posts, and being the organizer of similar events on our area. It is a shame that the police had to spoil a great event.

Corvette Museum to make the ultimate car experience!

Corvette Museum wants to build motorsports complex

While being a huge commitment at $35 million. Building a motorsports complex across the highway from the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky certainly would make for one of the ultimate car experiences in the US. The complex would include two road courses, a 1/4 mile drag stip, and a giant auto cross skidpad. Here's hoping this comes to be.

Under the eBay radar find of the day. 1994 Impala SS

Looks like your typical run of the mill used Impala SS right? Wrong! What we have here is one VERY unique piece of automotive history. What's that in the window? A GM control label. The door jamb has an emission exempt tag dated 1992? Wait do my eyes play tricks on me? Yes that is a third pedal and manual shift lever. Yes this IS the infamous 94 Impala SS manual trans prototype. Formerly straight from the General's private stash in their Heritage Collection via the Barrett Jackson auction. If that manual trans hasn't got your attention, how about the modified 5.7 liter V8 packing 308 Horsepower vs the stock SS' 260Hp? This was the car dreams were made of in the mid 90s thanks to GM's John Moss. Maybe it's time that the General rolled out another rear drive Impala SS? For those that can't wait this one of one prototype can be yours for a mere $36,000 via eBay. Unfortunately though, the car was sold on a salvage title from GM, so you would have to get creative on registering this bad boy for the street. In the mean time enjoy the eBay link, and the attached Motor Week review of this very car from 1995.

It's part Rollys Royce. Part Cadillac. And All Mustang!

Despite how ugly it may be. That also makes it that much cooler. I can just see this thing running around Vegas
 right now.

FAW Red Flag Limo. Who's in the mood for Chinese?

FAW Red Flag limo

The body styling sure looks a lot like the Rolls Royce Phantom. Still looks good though. And more fitting of a Government leader than President Obama's Limo 1.
