Welcome to another edition of the CarDomain Obscure Muscle Car Parking Lot, where we discover cars that were never really thought of as Muscle Cars, and change your mind about them. Yes, it has been a while since the last edition, and I know there are rabid fans of this feature, so over the next several weeks we’ll be running this feature super-regularly so you can get your fix. And look at what we have here: the Maverick Grabber, powered by the tried-and-true Ford 302 CID V-8. Let’s see if it belongs in the Parking Lot…

A fellow Chevy lover tipped me off to this incredible site with hundreds of car dealership brochures ranging from the 1908 Ford to the 2010 Camaro.  With a bit of browsing, I uncovered page after page of high-quality images from just about every American auto manufacturer.  The selection is impressive, though a little hit and miss–I was able to find 2 of my 3 current vehicles and 2 of Jen’s 4.  Click the manufacturer links below to find your car!

Can you find the little piece of history that helped sell your car back in the day?

Chevrolet – GMC – Pontiac – Buick – Oldsmobile – Cadillac – Saturn – Hummer

Chrysler – Imperial – Dodge – Eagle – AMC – Rambler – Plymouth – Jeep – Willys – Overland

Ford – Lincoln – Mercury – Hudson – DeSoto – Nash – Packard

I learned my lesson about street parking after some idiot ineptly parallel-parking his rented moving truck hit my Escort GT. Then a buddy of mine’s car got accordioned while parked overnight by a kid joyriding in his parents’ Suburban, and my sister’s mint ’82 Bonneville was totaled by a drunk-driving scumbag while she had the car legally pulled over at the curb. But as it turns out, even if you drive a car that’s the color and shape of traffic cone, leave it on the street and some moron is going to figure out a way to plow into it. Poor Lambo.

The following shows a 2010 Camaro making a complete fail of a positive situation. Given the legal opportunity to roast tires, the driver forgets to turn off launch control and makes a complete ass of himself in front of a huge crowd. Tisk tisk, you sir fail at Camaro culture. Read more about the blooper at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

I don’t know why, but there’s something about a big flock of DeLoreans all in one place never fails to put a smile in my heart. This was at the St. Patrick’s Day parade this past weekend in Houston, via DMC’s Facebook page.

Cruisin’ through Santa Monica yesterday, I spotted this clad BMW. I said, “hey, I gotta snap me a shot of that beast!” I pulled alongside after I shot this one, and ONLY this one. The guy took one look at me, said “Oh #@&*!!” then took off a runnin!’ I mean, I wasn’t even holding the camera!

Behind him was another one just like it and he came screamin’ by me like they both just saw a ghost. Now, I admit, I’m not the best-looking dood on the globe, but I’m no ghost either. But… I am The Fireball. So, if you mess with The Fireball, you get “spiced.” So I chased them for a bit just to make them nervous. And they drove like they were Domino’s driver about to lose $10 bucks for being late. They made about 42 violations along the way. I only made 32. Snap!

One thing’s for sure. This series BMW handles pretty well in a chase. Maybe “The Transporter” should get back IN one?

Episode 4 of Bullrun starts out with the Brothers Wu getting screwed by another competitor. Someone actually had the balls (or lack thereof) to call the cops on the Wus, since the Wu’s are better at playing the game then the rest of the cast. In my opinion, whomever called the cops is an effin’ coward. How about just step up and learn how to better play the game instead? This betrayal had nothing to do with having a better ride, out-thinking the other teams, or being a better driver–it was just a dick move, plain and simple.

The 24 Hours of LeMons Sears Pointless race last weekend was host to 148 teams racing $500 cars. Once the checkered flag dropped on Saturday night, then the action switched from the world famous twelve turn technical road course of Infineon Raceway to a sloped four lane wooden straight track for teams racing $5 cars –pinewood derby cars. That’s right, dad finally gets to build and race the car!

Since it was a LeMons event, cheating was actually encouraged in the derby. Check out which car won, and how they got it done at Speed:Sport:Life.

I’ve heard some quarries are located in super-isolated areas, and that the guys who work on such sites wind up living there for weeks at a time. I’ve also heard alcohol is banned entirely, so those poor bastards must get pretty frustrated and bored. But I’ve always believed folks can find a way to have fun even in the most inhospitable situations, and this video of a giant Volvo dump truck drifting is proof positive. I loved how the front end loader lends a hand when the articulated back end flips over. Funny stuff…
