Dodge Viper ACR-X V10 Glows Red Hot On the Dyno
Friday, 19 March 2010
 

There's something about glowing hot metal that gets our hearts racing here at Autoblog. Whether it's disc brakes on a racing prototype during an endurance night race or an exhaust manifold at redline during dyno testing, there's something about metal resisting the forces of incredible heat that appeals to the gearhead in us. That's why we took particular interest in this video of the new 2010 Viper ACR-X that shows Dodge's engineers going through final testing of its 8.4-liter V10.

Posuer Jesse James - Hot Rod and Bothered
Friday, 19 March 2010

96104714.jpgJust ask Snoop, Dr. Dre or even me, for that matter --- you can take the boy outta Long Beach but you can't take Long Beach outta the boy. One of that town's fine sons has proven that adage once again.

Jesse James, poseur biker, ersatz "tough guy," reality show celebrity and motorcycle-building's supposed bad boy, has admitted cheating on his wife, Academy Award-winning actress Sandra Bullock. Reportedly she's moved out of their home and James now finds himself apologizing to Bullock and their kids through the media (James has three children from two previous wives, none with Bullock).

James tells People Magazine "I deserve everything bad that is coming my way" and he exhibited "poor judgment." Can't wait to see that divorce settlement...

Who's the lucky girl? InTouch Weekly today announced an "exclusive" interview with the alleged mistress, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee, who calls herself "the hottest busty tattoo and fetish model" around. The "tattoo model" can be seen on a website called SoCalGlamourGirls.com, where fans of McGee can view her pictures or even speak to her live on a webcam. Can't wait for the Tiger-like chorus line of female fame-seekers claiming Jesse's tired manhood as their own to hit the media.

What a maroon, what a John Edwards in a t-shirt and without the blow-dry. James' wife is on top of the world for her part in the film "The Blind Side," won Best Actress honors at both the Golden Globes and Oscars this year and has a near-guaranteed future of larger and larger paychecks and, most especially, respect.

Bugatti 16C Galibier Spreads Its Doors Open Wide
Friday, 19 March 2010

 

 

Bugatti's staying tight-lipped about the Galibier, refusing to confirm if it's even destined for production. What we do know is it's fitted with a supercharged version of the 8.0-liter W16 and looks hot in black.

Unlike the Veyron, the Bugatti Galibier carries its W16 engine up front and uses two superchargers instead of four turbochargers and a true automatic transmission instead of a manumatic...

Parking On The Street Is Bad
Friday, 19 March 2010

 

 

I learned my lesson about street parking after some idiot ineptly parallel-parking his rented moving truck hit my Escort GT. Then a buddy of mine’s car got accordioned while parked overnight by a kid joyriding in his parents’ Suburban, and my sister’s mint ‘82 Bonneville was totaled by a drunk-driving scumbag while she had the car legally pulled over at the curb. But as it turns out, even if you drive a car that’s the color and shape of traffic cone, leave it on the street and some moron is going to figure out a way to plow into it. Poor Lambo.

Mopar Also Planning High Lift Ram 1500 for Jeep Safari, Raptor Put on Notice
Friday, 19 March 2010

Answering the question of whether Mopar's Ram Power Wagon concept is meant to be a competitor to the awe-inspiring Ford SVT Raptor (that'd be a 'no,' it would seem) is a report courtesy of our friends at PickupTrucks.com that Chrysler's go-fast division is also planning to release a long-travel version of the Ram 1500 at the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.

Adding credibility to Mopar's off-road-ready Ram "research project" is the presence of veteran Baja racer Kent Kroeker, who's KORE company is already the go-to expert for aftermarket Dodge truck goodies (see photo above of his Ram 2500 racer). Being based on the Ram 1500 means that Chrysler's Raptor-fighter will feature independent suspension at all four corners. We should also expect plenty of suspension travel. Oh, and could this be a hint at the future?...

2010 Honda Element with Dog Friendly Package Leaves Tails Wagging
Thursday, 18 March 2010


How does an automaker take a model that's been largely unchanged since inception and give it a little juice seven years into its life cycle? If you're Honda, you go to the dogs. Literally. After unveiling it as a "concept" at the 2009 New York Auto Show, the Dog Friendly Honda Element accessory package has made the transition to production accessory. The theory is that if you are a dog lover, you might consider buying an Element geared specifically toward your needs.

The Big H has plenty of experience in this department. As we showed you earlier today, in Japan there's a dedicated Honda Dog website (it's incredible, really) loaded with info about transporting pups in basically every JDM Honda offering. Naturally, there are "Travel Dog" accessories that drivers can purchase for each car as well. In fact, in Japan, there's also a dedicated model, the Vamos Travel Dog, which is specifically outfitted with dog owners in mind - much like the Stateside-market Elements kitted out with the new Dog Friendly package. As luck would have it, I have two dogs. Hence, I, and they, will be your humble 2010 Honda Element (Dog Friendly!) evaluators. Get your paws over to the jump to read more.

2010 Aston Martin DBS Carbon Black Special Edition Car News
Thursday, 18 March 2010

Aston Martin doesn’t have to do much to dress up a space aside from bringing a car or three. Starting this month, Aston is doing just that to supply some particularly sexy furnishings for a series of luxury events across the nation, hosted by audio partner Bang & Olufsen. Specifically, it has supplied two examples of its most dapper DBS flagship yet, the new DBS Carbon Black special edition, to be put on display and used for demonstration. This is the first time the DBS Carbon Black will be seen in America: Its world reveal happened late last year in England, where, incidentally, it was joined by a matching Carbon Black edition of Aston’s smaller, faster V-12 Vantage, which, is a car we Yankees can’t get in any color yet...
