Why is it that the Porsche always gets abused? Crushed for art, smashed up during a police chase, and now crushed by a tank. What will be next? Read more about the tanked Porsche at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

It might not be as ghoulish as yesterday’s swamp Wagoneer, but this Craigslist Dodge panel truck has plenty of eyesore appeal. It’s pretty rad, but the skulls and chains on the hood are a little Everett–maybe they should’ve just left it at green photo-flames and called it good.

Shaun White has nothing on Tanner Foust. After all, he only competes in TWO disciplines, snowboarding and skateboarding. Meanwhile Foxy Tan Tan (as we like to call him) is a regular threat for a podium in drifting, rally (including the X Games), the International Race of Champions and time attack just to name a few motorsports. Let’s not forget he’s the host of Supercars Exposed and he was this close to being the Stig’s more talented American Cousin. Not to mention he’s a big time Hollywood stunt driver lending shock and awe to supplement the absurd in movies like the Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift.

This season Tanner will add the position of rallycross driver to his already impressive resume. Tanner will compete in select rounds of the European Rallycross Championship this year in addition to the Formula Drift series, the X Games and select Rally America events. Rallycross is like a hyper frenetic, condensed version of a rally stage (like a super special) and the ‘cross cars are even more potent than their rally cousins. Hit the jump to see some videos from the 2009 X Games of Tanner with the Olsbergs MSE rallycross Fiestas. There’s also the obligatory – and usually bland and uninformative – press release as well. However, in this release Tanner is quoted saying that rallycross will come to the US later this year. Well, wouldn’t that just be all sorts of awesome. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

OK, I guess embarrassment isn’t the real reason the thief bailed on this Sierra—the stop sticks probably had more to do with it—but that’s the explanation I like best.  The most surprising thing about this incident is that the guy actually took off into the woods and managed to avoid the cops. Seriously, how often do crooks manage to do that? wdbo.com via Jalopnik

Some of my friends from Seattle got into town yesterday, so tomorrow I’m going to take the day off and go to Disneyland. I used to go to Disney World all the time when I was in school, but I’ve never been to the park on the West Coast. Apparently Space Mountain out here is a little different than the one in Florida, but it’s hard to imagine it’s any less cool.  How can you screw up a roller coaster in the dark? Anyway, the winner of this week’s contest is GTWildfire, who came up with; “If the wagon’s a-shakin’ a dead man was fakin’!” Bravo, man. Tune in tomorrow for the next installment of our ferociously popular Caption Contest!

Thanks to the guys at cncpics.com we have some cool shots from last weekend’s Cars and Coffee down in Irvine, California. I really dig this Rampage with the Brat-style rear seats. This Ferrari ain’t too bad, either. Check out all the pics!

I’d like to preface this blog by saying that anyone who follows what I am about to say will have my full support. For those of you who don’t know, I am a New York native. I was born in lower Manhattan, grew up in Brooklyn and have lived all over the boroughs. Most people have preconceived notions about what it’s really like to live in and or around the big city, but in reality they have no idea. New York is a tough place, it wears you down and makes you hard. Living space is not measured in acreage here, it’s measured in square feet with a population density so tight that the borough of Queens could kick the shit out of the state of Rhode Island.

Living here means co-existing in close quarters. Parking is on the street and if you have a driveway or garage then you hang on to them like they’re gold bars. I happen to have both, but unfortunately my driveway is shared with the house next door. My neighbors are dirty, rude and inconsiderate. Truthfully I’d like to simply nuke them off the block but since most people would frown on a having a tactical nuke in such close proximity to them I needed another plan. As of late I have been compiling a list of devious, underhanded and lets face it, downright dirty pranks that should push my filthy neighbors over the automotive edge. I know others out there share my pain which is why this step by step list is being made available to the general public. Continue reading at RideLust.com

Jen sent this to me last night. Ran when parked in 1999! Yours for only $600! See the text from the Craigslist ad and more pics after the jump. I love this body style and hope someone saves this thing and builds something like this!
