This teaser for the new season of Bullrun was uploaded to StreetFire on Christmas Eve, but since I had the day off, I just saw it this morning. I have to admit I’m a little curious to see how far the Lambo team will make it, because as much as I love those Raging Bulls, it’s not like they’re know for reliability. So given that the contestants are looking at putting more than 4000 miles on the clock, I’m guessing an engine fire or clutch problem with take those guys out before the finale. And while I’m sure it’s just clever editing, this clip makes it look like one of the drivers gets into it with Goldberg, which would be rad. I mean, I know wrestling is fake and everything, but I’ve met him at SEMA, and he’s not someone you’d want to tangle with.

I’m not a huge fan of the 2010 body style and was saving up for a 2008 Bullitt, but now I’m feeling very torn… More pics and details on the new 412 hp 5.0 at Jalopnik. And be sure to check out the official Ford videos after the jump!

A bubble-top 1962 Catalina is a damn cool car on its own. One packing a developmental all-aluminum 389 engine that was one of 14 built for Mickey Thompson is freaking sublime. This car is not a clone or recreation, it is a total what-if. What if a factory engineer was able to tinker with one of the aluminum 389s and managed to slip it into a beautiful 1962 bubble-top Catalina and hit Woodward Ave?

No expense was spared when building this car. It is packing parts from the ultra-rare Swiss Cheese Catalinas in the form of an aluminum center section packing 4.30 gears, and an aluminum bellhousing with a weird starter mount as well. Oh, we almost forgot to mention the aluminum exhaust manifolds.

So how do you feel about this car? Should the motor have been sold and used somewhere else, or was the “right thing” done in this case. It isn’t a clone and the seller is not trying to push the car as some kind of factory job. We think it could be the coolest Poncho ever.

Sitting somewhere between the end of the car corral and the beginning of the swap meet at Hershey this year was this delightfully themed AD Suburban, decked out with period fishing rods and accessories and looking more like it belongs on display in an Orvis retail store than in inland Pennsylvania. And, of course, we couldn’t help but dig one of the most complete set of vintage vacation stickers we’ve yet seen. See the rest of the pics at Hemmings

I have to admit that my eyes tend to glass over whenever I see an ultra clean car. The car may be done up correctly with appropriate ride height, wheel fitment, clean body work and everything else we appreciate on Speedhunters but I find there’s something quite impersonal about being perfect. Owners of clean cars tend to tweak over the smallest details when something isn’t as clean or as perfect as they want. I find a lot of these car owners start to lose the enjoyment of owning automobiles. What’s the point of owning a play car if you can’t enjoy actually owning it? Continue reading at Speedhunters

While I think the Jay Leno Show show has its moments, I really wish he’d gone and done a car show after stepping down as host of the Tonight Show. It never would have been Top Gear—after all, NBC is advertiser supported—but he’s great when’s indulging his not-so-inner gearhead and not just gunning for laughs. In this clip, he talks about his love of the Rendezvous, and takes Mercedes’ new SLS AMG on a lap of the 13-mile race track hidden in the streets of Los Angeles. I’m going to drive it ASAP…

Being pulled behind a Subaru Impreza after a fresh snowfall by hanging on to the wing as it drifts a curvy forest road is insane. A video produced by fellow Subaru enthusiasts in Slovenija, Pokljuka shows the world just how crazy we can get. Rock on! Read more about the human drifting event at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Now here’s a cool story:

This project has survived a wife, a house remodel and two kids. It will finally hit the streets July of 2008. Eleven years after its purchase. My original intention was to just throw it together and drive it but after finding a 13,000 mile 4-Door as a parts car I had allot of really nice sheet metal, dash parts & suspension etc. to build this car right.

See all the pics of the build on Michael’s Chevy II ride page!
