San Francisco Plagued By Bullitt-Style "Hill Flying"
San Francisco's CBS-5 indignantly reports on unruly drivers getting airborne over the city's hills, a trend one resident calls "an outrage" and that we refuse to believe is "new." Bullitt's some 40 years old! [CBS-5] -

Mustang Bullitt Takes Right Turn At Albuquerque (Dragway)
When drag racing, it's critically important to keep the car going in a straight line down the dragway. The driver of this Mustang Bullitt somehow missed that memo. Ouch. More » -

2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt, Part One
I managed to drive nearly one thousand miles across Texas in a 2008 Ford Mustang Bullitt without running over a cow, getting in a gunfight or playing a single hand of high stakes poker. How? If you've never been, the Texas in your head is a rugged place with sun-drenched highways stretching across a flat endless plain as seen in movies actually shot in Southern California. We've got three of the ten largest cities in the United States. We've got dusty hills and verdant valleys. Modern skyscrapers and sandy beaches. Twists and turns. Tangy BBQ and spicy Pho. For both Texas and the Bullitt, the myth serves a purpose but the reality is that much more magical. More » -

Top Ten Best Movie Police Car Chases, With A Twist
Police car chases are as much a part of American cinema as the sappy love story and the life-like animated robot movie. With so many directors having tackled the police chase it has become a bountiful field from which to pluck perfectly formed flowers of destruction and tire smoke. As we continue our Jalopnik Automotive Amerigasm this week with the second part of our review of the 2008 Dodge Charger Police Edition, we figured we should see what the celluloid forefathers of this blacked out beast have been able to do on film. Except, the "top ten car chases" thing's been done so many times it's not funny. Since we know there's more out there than the usual Bullitt-to-Bandit list we've shaken things up a little — with five of the obvious best and five of the not-so-obvious best — silver screen police car chases. So grab your popcorn and hit the jump. More » -

Bullitt Charger Or Bluesmobile Monaco?
We took a break from Star Car Shootout last week during all the Geneva coverage, but we're back today with another great matchup. The last shootout had two of Steve McQueen's silver screen rides go at it, and after two weeks of voting, the Mustang from Bullitt has beaten the Porsche 911 from Le Mans in another closely contested battle-o'-cool.
