Don't you hate it when you bring your General Lee into the body shop and it comes out with a part off of Ecto 1? This happens all the time in Brandon Ortwein's imaginary life. Click through for more. More »

OK, this isn't really Mr. T, but the picture, taken at the Bondurant driving school, was too good to pass up. Burnouts? Don't gimme no back-talk! Oversteer? Quit yo' jibba-jabba! Grr! You think those are socks? These are socks, fool! More »

Just a day after seeing the new A-Team Van from the refreshed A-Team film, a new trailer shows the destruction of B.A. Baracus' beloved GMC. Noooooooooo! He's gonna be pissed. As a consolation prize: parachute tanks. More »

This is the first time we've seen the refreshed A-Team van in person. Is it as fantastic as we had hoped? Of course. Don't you love it when an auto-show plan comes together? More »

As ridiculous as it sounds, the A-Team movie remake includes the only cast member we care about: the classic GMC A-Team van. Also, B.A. Baracus in a Lamborghini clearly pities many fools. Leaked trailer below. More »

This is not the new A-Team van. It's just a boring old Chrysler minivan fitted with an A-Team-van-emulating red stripe and red wheels. Doesn't take away from the B.A. Baracus wanna-be lurking in the background. (H/T to Curt) More »

Here's the first shot of the new A-Team cast and yes, B.A. Baracus does look kinda tiny. The full shot, the cast list — in effect, the full plan — comes together below, right in front of the GMC van. More »

The new A-Team movie tells the story of Iraq veterans framed for a crime they didn't commit, but uses the same old GMC van. Quinton Jackson plays BA, Liam Neeson plays Hannibal and Jessica Biel is involved somehow. [SplashNews] More »

Yes! The A-Team movie's coming and thanks to the possible casting addition of Liam Neeson as Col. John "Hannibal" Smith, it should be less campy. We love it when a plan comes together! More »

A little part of our inner child just leapt for joy as we've just found out the long rumored movie adaptation of a new A-Team movie has been given the official go ahead. The new movie will have a speculative release date sometime in summer of 2009 and the entire cast of colorful characters is completely open for casting. The only things we know for sure are that John Singleton's in the directors chair, and Michael Bandt and Derek Haas have been tasked with the writing. All portend good signs so we're fairly hopeful the result will be something good — or at least better than the horror that was the new Knight Rider made-for-TV movie. Now, the most important question for us is obvious, what heavy hauler gets to snag the role of the raddest hot rod van ever to grace the small screen? More »

We occasionally see lists of the best television cars pop up on the Internet, and we always find ourselves at a loss to understand why people feel the need to limit themselves to just ten. A good list should probably come in closer to 30, so it's not just predictable choices like K.I.T.T. and the Batmobile. The list below isn't a bad attempt, though we're sad to see the Ferrari Daytona from Miami Vice didn't make the cut. Anything else missing? More »

Even with a jittery stock market and a softening housing sector, RV sales are expected to pick up moving into 2008. Active consumers evidently treat RV purchases similar to that of a second home. Even though this second home rolls, interest rates are still deductible! This sales forecast could change if the economy experiences hiccups or a sharp increase in interest rates, unless people disregard a crumbling economy and take to the road Damnation Alley style in a last-ditch RV effort to save America from a post Trilateral Commission world domination conspiracy.

Face takes one to the, well, er, face, Hannibal turns himself out as a limo-shoppin' rock 'n' roll mogul, B.A. is his usual William Butler Yeatsian self, and Murdock? Well, Murdock's just howlin' mad. And yes, of course the plan comes together. It is a Stephen J. Cannell production, after all. More post-jump. – Davey G. Johnson More »

The reason Damnation Alley didn't make a whole lot of sense back when we saw it in the theatre was that the projectionist ran the reels of this 1977 cinema gem 1-3-4-2. We're still confused. What we do remember is George Peppard driving all over a mixed up apparition of a post-nuclear southern California in the Dean Jeffries Landmaster. Jeffries took the then and still crazy sum of 400 large and brought forth the mighty Landmaster specifically for the film. The Landmaster was indeed tough, and has survived despite the apocalypse that was Damnation Alley's box office take. Look for the unveiling of the restored Landmaster and Dean Jeffries himself at the upcoming San Francisco Rod, Custom & Motorcycle Show. – Mike Bumbeck More »
