This is so badass. My favorite car, in the history of ever, has always been the ‘68 Dodge Charger in the General Lee livery. This is what made the (original) Charger my favorite Muscle car. If I could own any one single car in this world and resale value didn’t make a difference, it might very well be the Charger (has to be the ‘68, though).
But, if you’ve read my blog, you know I love Corvette. I think the Duke Boys would appreciate this. I know I do.
Well, here’s to Hazzard County, GA.
These guys are so awesome… and incredibly smart. Seriously, who thinks of cutting out the middle man and just going straight to Summit? Genius. I have been hooking up my computer to my TV and switching it to HD. Makes it much more watchable.
Honestly, if I had the choice to spend a day with Chris Harris or these guys, it would probably be these guys.

Only 12 minutes to the green flag!!!
Head to ESPN3 to watch ALMS @ Laguna SECA now!
I won’t be able to watch it because I have a military ball to get drunk for. So, tomorrow I may be randomly posting exclamations of excitement as I get caught up.
Anybody remember this? 2009, Laguna SECA. This is before ALMS put sanctions on Corvette’s engine because they were just too damn fast.
This was the very first ALMS race that I watched all the way through. Throughout it, I nearly bit my fingers off in distress. After this race I have always had a burning hatred of the Flying Lizard Team. You can say that Mag bumped him (although I’ll fight that to the grave), but bumping and putting into the wall are two completely different things.
You can watch the full fight here. Trust me, you want to.

Yes!! ALMS at Laguna SECA!! This is by far my favorite track of the circuit. Broadcasting will be live on ESPN 3 and on the tube on ESPN2.
Seriously, don’t miss it. This is going to be awesome.
It is videos like this that are restoring my faith in Chevrolet. These guys have done an awesome job with the ZL1. A year ago I would have told you that I would have the Boss 302 over any other modern muscle car, but I think that may have changed.
Dear God, it looks good in black.

Some awesome footage from the Dakar Rally, 2012. I know I’m not the only person that sees this and wants to do it.
Well, there you have it, boys and girls of America. Confirmed by Ford: The 2013 Mustang GT500 is to have 662 horsepower and 631 pd-ft.
No, that’s not a typo.
I want everyone to think about that for a second. This car is to have about 4 times the horsepower of my 240z. That’s both amazing and embarrassing.
The real test now will be whether or not this beast can put the power down. The last GT500 couldn’t, but supposedly Ford has been doing all sorts of work underneath the car.
All I can say is… AMERICA!!
… Fuck yea.
Check out the Car and Driver blog on the new GT500.
Oh, hey Europe. You like wish bone suspensions? That’s cute. You see, we do things differently here in America.
And this Camaro is all American. Camaro built this, not from the executive down, but from the mechanic up. Only 69 (solid number choice, GM) COPO Camaros are to be produced for NHRA base numbers. This car is meant for one thing; drag racing. They didn’t fuck around when making this car. They came at this with the shake-and-bake, if-you-ain’t-first-your-last attitude.
The guys at Hot Rod Unlimited have my favorite channel on YouTube. Very entertaining and really high quality videos. They also show all the other baddassery going on over at GM.
If Ford doesn’t step up their game, I’m going to have to put the bow tie back up on my wall.
