So, You Want To See Bullitt As Intended?
The Redford Theater is one of those places which breaks the mold of blandly nauseating suburban mega-theaters sporting 30 cookie-cutter, no personality movie holes. You go to Redford Michigan's oldest operational movie theater not because of the latest in high-test gee-whiz surround sound, nor do you go for the comfy seats or the fully digital projectors - it doesn't have any of that - you go to recapture the joy of the movies. Not too long ago, we noticed the theater would be showing a movie containing what many have called the greatest chase scene ever filmed, Bullitt, and we're wondering if you're interested in going.

The torquey 2.6L Mitsubishi G54B four-banger was installed under the hood of a great number of vehicles, including but not limited to this rusty Dodge D-50 pickup - aka Mitsubishi Mighty Max. There are enough of these engines still running in Monteros, forklifts, K-cars, Starions, and other more industrial applications that parts are still readily available. Good news in case one spins a bearing or kicks a rod while doing a burnout.

Vauxhall VXR8 Nears UK Launch
The Vauxhall version of Holden's VE HSV Clubsport R8 is so close as to be generating its own gravitational field around the UK (hold on to your cider). It's yet another Australian-born teaser for the Pontiac G8, which will appear in the states sometime during the 385th season of "According to Jim." If we can survive another millennium (or so it will seem) of the unfunny Belushi brother, we'll may get a taste of what the VXR8 already has in its toybox. Of course, the most potent of Vauxhalls will get GM's LS2 producing 411 hp, while the G8 will likely get a 6.0-liter L76 producing 362 hp. If only we had a queen... More »

Hoon Of The Day: Happy Wedding Day, Brah!
That's right, nothing says "Congrats!" on your broski's wedding day like a couple of burnouts in front of the wedding chapel. Of course, the long arm of the law may have something to say about it — especially when they're sitting in their squad car right behind you. Dude, isn't it always like the man trying to break up the sanctity of marriage between two people with hoons for friends? More »
