Junior Continues to Unload Cars

Junior's C6Man, Junior must be in need of some cash :) Seriously, though, this is a very sweet C6. The airbrushed flames are an especially nice touch …

After selling his very sweet MINI Mania-suped MINI Cooper S to the highest bidder for $33,800.00, Dale Jr. is in the process of unloading another of his magnificent stable inhabitants, a 2005 Corvette C6 with paint work of cherry red and flames and only 2,096 miles on the odometer.

Danica Patrick switching to NASCAR, too?

Danica Patrick

Interesting. Danica would make a good impression in the Cup circuit, though personally, I think Erin Crocker deserves a shot first.

Hot on the heels of Juan Pablo Montoya's decision to leave the bright lights of Formula 1 for the barbecue pits of NASCAR at the end of the 2006 season is a report that Danica Patrick's father and manager, T.J. Patrick, is currently in exploratory talks with some NASCAR teams for his daughter to join the NEXTEL Cup circuit as early as next season.

A sequel to V?

VI loved this show growing up - it scared the crap out of me. Looking back, the original is still pretty strong (really more as a facist-regime allegory), but everything that followed (after creator Kenneth Johnson was canned) got suckier and suckier. Hearing that KJ is back on board, though, is very exciting news. This could be really cool …

Right now it seems they're trying to secure the finances needed to do the series, but before that happens you'll be able to purchase the novel based on Johnson's screenplay by early 2007. According to the IMDb trivia page for V - The Second Generation, several original cast members have signed on to the project, including Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund. This is IMDb, so I don't necessarily trust the information completely, but if all of this turns out to be true, it could be a very cool thing for fans of the series.

Dodge Challenger approved for production!

Dodge Challenger ConceptMopar fans, your wish has been granted. Now, let's see if GM holds up its part of the deal and greenlights the Camaro (the pressure to do so will be huge now with the Challenger announcement). As things stand, it looks like the ponycar wars are quickly moving from the show floor to the showroom.

"Wash Me” taken to a new level

 As a kid there was nothing like dragging your finger across the dirty back window of your mom's minivan. Imagine lifting your finger to find you've created a Mona Lisa on the rear glass. Scott Wade of San Marcos, TX is perhaps the only person who could say he's done this.
