death race
Here, we have the actual Death Race trailer. Hit that link for the real Statham-hotness. We can't tell if this is the result of rampant fanboyism, or the beginnings of a painfully long viral marketing campaign, but something teaserish has surfaced for the new movie "re-imagination" Death Race. We ain't saying' nothin' as to it's authenticity - it could be a mashup of an anti speeding campaign, could be impressive indie work, or it could be the real thing, but it is creepy. It also makes us want to know how many points that would have been worth.

Mini Bruce: It's a Smorsche!
Do not adjust your Photoshop pixel-molestation detectors. This is real — a Fiat 500 modded to take on a certain Porscheocity. Its the product of a Greek guy with an eye for absurdist motoring and the skills to match. I think we just threw up in our mouths quite a lot. More »

Autorama Cleanout: Dissension in the Ranks, n2a Vettalair is Cool
Yeah, that's right, I'm thumbing my nose at the establishment, giving the finger to the man, and gesturing in any other phalangically based displays of disrespect. I say this is the first C6 Corvette-based conversion that does not, in fact, suck. In pictures it may not work; our very own commenters raked it over the coals when Spinelli wrote about it back in November. But in person it works surprisingly well. I spoke with Fred Kanter, chairman of n2a (and owner of the Packard brand name - cooool!). Apparently the idea was to meld different aspects of the '57, '58, and '59 Bel Air models into something interesting but familiar. One remarkable aspect of the build process was that the entire undertaking, from purchase of Vette to carbon-fiber body #1, was only about 14 weeks. Damn impressive for the level of detail if you ask me. It even uses factory reproductions of the original headlight and taillight buckets. Come on, what's not to love about that? Sure, there are a couple of things that could be massaged. The interior could stand a bit of tarting up and the license plate spot in the rear isn't as cool as it could be. But it's a great start for such an ill-received concept. More »

Nooooooooo! Mustang Cobra Mashup
Looking at this automotive expression of crypto-taxidermy, we're reminded of a nightmare we once had after eating in a Moroccan restaurant. The difference is, in the nightmare the creature had the head of a badger and the body of Ernest Borgnine (or was that vice versa?). Actually, this is ten times as scary. [Thanks to Andrew for the tip.] More »
