First A-Team Trailer: Yes, It's The Same Ol' GMC Van!

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 »

Iron Man 2 Trailer: Tony Stark's F1 Car Is Toast!

What Could Be Better Than A Mustang vs Charger Chase? Opel Rekord vs Fiat 124!

Inheritance: Indie Short Features Nissan GT-R Beating Porsche 911

Despite the polished appearance and cinematic race sequence, this isn't a Nissan GT-R advertisement. It's an indie short by Dylan Osborn and friends filmed guerrilla-style against a New England backdrop. Datsun 240Z and a Morgan Aero 8? Nice. [DylanOsborn.com]
