Speeding Mechanic
By Ron Honig
WaytooFurious
Over the years I have heard numerous stories of mechanics being caught speeding, or even crashing their clients cars. It does make you wonder what mechanic Leonie Magistro was thinking when he hit 160km/h in his client’s Lamborghini. After all he was only 60km/h over the speed limit! Get the full story at PerthNow. So has your mechanic ever abused your trust?

New Bullrun Season Three Teaser
By John Coyle
Deputy Editor
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.

Interesting Piece of JDM x Italian Supercar History
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
During my past trip to Japan I had dinner with one of my friends who is a famous aero parts designer. In the course of the evening’s conversation on design he schooled me on something that I should have known but never did…and it blew my mind!
Did you all know that the Lamborghini Diablo uses Z32 300ZX (Fairlady Z) headlights? I consider myself to be a bit of a car nerd and I had no idea of this fascinating fact, which looking back is quite an embarrassment because I should know things like this!!!

Lambo Puts Down 980 Horsepower on the Dyno
By John Coyle
Deputy Editor
OK, so it’s not like this is the first time that we’ve seen a Gallardo putting down almost 1000 horsepower at the wheels. But are you really supposed to get tired of that? I don’t think so. At all. Listen as they make her scream on the dyno! Oh, and how awesome is the license plate?

Countach Beats the 512 Boxer on CarDomain
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
I guess this shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, but the 1987 Lamborghini Countach handily beat the 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi in this week’s eBay Motors Showdown. I really admire the Countach, but for a car to own and drive, I would definitely go with the Boxer, which is one of my favorite Ferraris of all time. Stay tuned for another match up next week, and if you have any suggestions for future eBay Motors Showdowns, please leave them in the comments below!

512 Boxer vs. Countach: Which Would You Choose?
By Rob Einaudi
Editor-in-Chief
For this week’s eBay Motors Showdown, I present you with two cars that dominated magazine covers when I was a kid. This 1984 Ferrari 512 BBi looks to be a nice red/black example from the last year of production. And this 1987 Lamborghini Countach was a special order car for Mario Andretti. Which would you choose?

Italian Masterpiece Art on an Italian Masterpiece
By Jim Brennan
UDMan
This Lamborghini Gallardo was sitting next to the Tap Out slammed Surburban at the Goin’ Hard Wheel booth, and while I find customized Exotic Cars quite nauseating, this one was actually quite tasteful. Continue reading after the jump!

Random Observations Stumbling Across The SEMA Show Floor
By John Naderi
StreetFire.net
Hello, Vegas. Did you miss me? This joint is like some sort of cruel mistress for me and she likes it rough, if you know what I’m saying. It’s not even Day One and already I feel like a past-her-prime, ridden-hard-and-put-away-wet Glitter Gulch cocktail waitress who’s sucked down one too many Chesterfield’s in her time. In Blogville terms I’m eons late to this game having already been crushed by the likes of Boss Man Rob, John “10 Jameson’s Deep” Coyle, Jim (have yet to nickname him) Brennan and that smarmy little minx, Jen Dunnaway (I’m warning you, Dunnaway, Stay away from my Honda Booth!). This may be my first and only blog as the cocktail of cheap vodka, cold medicine, exhaustion and the smell of desperation may leave me face down in a steaming pile of a $3.99 all-you-can-eat buffet. Hit the jump to see some of what I saw as I try to get found in Lost Wages. Viva, SEMA!
