Tampa Sports Car Examiner
Is this tacky, or cool? A BMW M5 with a very unique M5 paint scheme is either something you’ll love or hate. I the lines and how the M5 looks like the real logo, but I still feel something is missing. Comment below what you think is missing, and read more at Tampa Sports Car Examiner.

Too bad it’s not street legal… but at least it’s pink. The seller says he says he wants to go for a final ride in it with whoever buys it–”consider it a training lesson.” Check out the listing on eBay!

Danny Thompson Building 300 MPH Capable Mustang
powerTV Media
To this day, the name Mickey Thompson still reverberates in the automotive world, as the racing pioneer served as one of the most influential figures in automotive history, leaving behind a timeless legacy that will never be forgotten. Along with his accolades and innovations in the sport of drag racing, Thompson set more speed and endurance records than any other man in history during his driving career. And the records he established at the fabled Bonneville Salt Flats will forever live in infamy. In 1958, he powered his twin-engine HEMI-powered dragster to a 294 MPH world record, and in 1959, returned with the infamous “Challenger I” setting four world records with a speed of 345 MPH. He then cemented his place in history in 1970, becoming the first driver to exceed 400 MPH. in addition, he set a slew of world records driving three different Mach 1 Mustangs.

I was almost starting to think that no one was still running neon anymore, but Kristoffer totally rocks his red underglow. Check out his Monte’s ride page.

CSP311 Silvia
By Speedhunters
Car Culture At Large
While at Sodegaura the other weekend I was lucky enough to get shown this spotless first generation Nissan Silvia by its owner. The car was still running the first license plates it was ever issued, a rare thing to see in Japan. The original Silvia badge. Looking at such a classic and historical car, I couldn’t help but think it’s a real pity Nissan has no intention of bringing the Silvia back to the masses. With only the Mazda Roadster and upcoming FT86 in the affordable front engine/rear wheel drive market, it would seem a viable enough plan. See more views at Speedhunters.
