Official Car Pundit Drinking Game: Wert Goes British!
Apparently folks across the pond are as enamored with our fearless leader as we are. The BBC's asked him to get in front of the camera for the second time today. Watch him tonight at 7PM EST on BBC America. He'll be talking about what everyone else is talking about — the not-so-Big Three's homework from Congress. For now, let's get some rules started below the jump in the comments! -

2009 Audi A5 Convertible Pictures Leak Out Ahead Of Official Unveil
The 2009 Audi A5 Convertible, the latest in a long line of four-seat Audi soft tops, appears to have gotten a bit of an early unveil thanks to a photo leak onto the net. The most notable feature is the canvas roof, bucking the hard-on-top trend made popular by Mercedes, BMW, Lexus IS250C and Infiniti G37 Convertible by going soft up top. This means less weight, less complication and more trunk space. But it’s not this model we’re excited about. No, we're excited because there’s a 2009 Audi S5 Cabrio too.
Update: The Audi A5 and S5 Cabrios have been officially unveiled. The official shots are in the galleries below, while the official press release, complete with official US specs is officially after the jump.

PCH, CeauÅŸescu Versus Krushchev Edition: Three ARO 244s or One GAZ 69-M?
Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! Last time, the '72 Stutz Blackhawk blackjacked the Buickborghini and stuffed it in the trunk, for disposal in a hole in the desert later on (the way so many Blackhawk owners in Vegas solved their problems back in the day), according to the 71% of you who voted that way in the Choose Your Eternity poll. Today we're going to go with a couple of choices that allow me to use not-often-seen-in-PCH flags in the poll: Romania versus the Soviet Union!

Commenter Of The Day: Road Till The Casket Drops Edition
All day we've been banging to the sounds of the Clipse mixtape for their upcoming Till The Casket Drops and enjoying the numerous references to cars, clothes and just about every product you can imagine. One of the bloggers over at the Sound of the City compared it to William Gibson's post-Web 2.0 sci-fi book Spook Country, which is notable for its many shout outs to niche clothing brands as well as to the sexy and stealthy understated luxury of the Volkswagen Phaeton. It doesn't hurt the band is launching the tape in conjunction with the release of their own clothing line. Diversification! It's more proof stylish kicks and expensive whips go together like hammer pants and a Nissan Xterra. Just ask Rust My Enemy, who has seen this before. More » -
