Cinemax is working on a 12-episode series based on Luc Besson's Transporter films. It'll star Chris Vance in the Jason Statham role with Andrea Osvart playing the handler who Vance wants to fornicate with but won't until dramatically necessary.

This compilation of Volkswagens being used and abused is likely some sort of old series of tests used in an promo video for late 90s/early 2000s Volkswagen products. It worked! I want to rent an older Volkswagen Transporter T4 and launch it off a hill, all the while the radio plays a jaunty tune. (Hat tip to Jo!)

Volkswagen was a company well known for unorthodox advertising practices by the mid 1960s. It should come as no surprise that when it came time to expand their model range for 1966 with the Fastback and Squareback, the commercials were rather typically anything but typical.

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the City That Rust Sorta Ignored: Denver, Colorado. Remember the Veggie Tales Fiat 500? Here's a Transporter that parks on the same block.

Back around 1990, when I was a broke-ass slacker and figured out how to make beer for cheap, I got into making custom photocopier-and-glue-stick custom beer labels. You've seen Powerglide Road Soda, and now I've unearthed another old label.

I spent a few days in the beach town of Sayulita, Nayarit State, Mexico last week. Talk about your outstanding mix of battered-yet-proud survivors and Stuff We Can't Buy Up Here! Let's take a look.

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. Even though TITRF is home to numerous T2 Transporters, I've sort of ignored them. No more!

I know what you cancer-stick-addicted types are saying: "But you can use a lighter to open a bottle!" Yes, yes, a key works too, but there's something extra satisfying about opening bottles with your car.

The Datsun ads were fun, as were the Toyota ads, but it was Volkswagen that first made an art form out of the automotive television advertisement.
