This is why I’d never advise parking your car across two spaces, no matter how cool you think your paint is. All it takes is one psychopath with a rattle-can. Or a key. Photo via Hooniverse.

According to Yahoo News, “on the 30th anniversary of the film’s release, “L’Osservatore Romano,” the Vatican’s official newspaper, called the film a “Catholic classic” and said it should be recommended viewing for Catholics everywhere.” I’d say it should be recommended viewing for everyone, but am glad the Vatican is now on board with this legendary film.

According to MyFoxMemphis, a “22-year old cornerback for a local university was inside his home when he heard a car door shut. When he looked out his window, he witnessed a white male sitting in the driver’s seat of his father’s Cadillac. The victim confronted the suspect, who fled the scene on foot.

Gary and Pam Beineke’s series of 1971 Chrysler wing cars are all based on early 1970s Chrysler documents that showed the company had tested scale models of aero ’71 cars in the wind tunnel. These reports were kept secret for decades, and once unearthed, served as inspiration for Gary and Pam to build several of the “never built” cars. Their latest is a 1971 Dodge Daytona built in the likeness of the Bobby Issac driven, K&K Insurance sponsored 1969 Daytona.

I was lucky enough to have largely missed the whole spinner-exhaust-tip thing, but for a while in there, it seemed like it was everyone’s favorite WalMart-grade accessory to make fun of. Of course, there was also the flame spinner-tip, which made its owner look even more supremely awesome and which provided an easy $44.95 solution for those who didn’t want to deal with the liability or refueling costs of actual exhaust flamethrowers. Check out the video if you haven’t already seen one of these babies in action.

I’ve had Tigers on the brain lately, and I’ve also had Infineon Raceway on the brain–I’m going to be there this weekend!–so I was stoked to find this video of a little Tiger running some laps at the fabled road course. I like that the soundtrack isn’t so overbearing that it drowns out the burble of that Ford V8.
