Words cannot describe how mega this crash is. If you haven't seen it yet, do it...DO IT NOW. It must be seen. Even if you have seen it, check it out again. The victim was a 19-year old who was speeding, tried to pass on the left, ended up in the median...then something CRAZY happened, he got ejected from his Firebird, somehow survived, and is now in critical condition.
The wreck shut down I-675 South for six hours (it's no Chinese traffic jam, but what is?). Thank you state trooper dash cam for making my day a little more horrifying and reminding me to always wear my seat belt and not do 100+ mph in traffic. Let's all hope this guy's ok.

Found for sale on eBay is a reproduction -and a quite convincing one at that- of one of the biggest icons of our childhood: the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or as most of you know it, K.I.T.T.
Like the original car used in the Knight Rider series during the '80s, this here replica is based on a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am and comes with all the cosmetic bells and whistles of the TV car including the cool to look at, but far from practical, cut steering wheel and electronic displays on the dashboard that lights up like a Christmas tree.
Under the hood, there's a rebuilt 355 cubic inch (5.8-liter) small block Chevy V8, claimed by the seller to produce somewhere around 400-horsepower. The 'Buy it Now' price on eBay Motors is $27,000.

VIDEO: 2011 Camaro-Based Pontiac Firebreather Meets the Shelby GT500
0 comments Posted by bs at 4:19 PM
The folks from 'The Smoking Tire' decided to bid farewell to the 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible they had for this year's Bullrun by bringing on Classic Design Concepts' Pontiac Firebreather for a brief tet-a-tet.
For those unfamiliar with the Firebreather, the Pontiac Firebird-ized 2011 Camaro was originally created by Classic Design Concepts as a one off movie car for Exxodus Pictures' new sci-fi film, Jinn, but the company took the decision to build a limited series for sale to the public.
The Firebreather packs a supercharged version of the Camaro's 6.2-liter V8 pushing out 600-horsepower, and as you can see in the video below, it makes the '11 Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible look like a household pussycat in the styling department...

Finishing off our report on the redesigned 2009 Vibe (see details here), we’ve added the videos featuring all three versions (Base, GT & AWD) of Pontiac’s five-seat, crossover SUV. You can check them out right after the jump. The 2009 Vibe will be available with two engines, a 132 Hp 1.8-litre unit and a 158 Hp 2.4-liter motor. Depending on the model and engine size, the Vibe’s fuel economy in the city varies from an estimated 19 miles-per-gallon (mpg) to 26 mpg. All 2009 Vibe models are scheduled to rollout in showrooms in early 2008. -Videos after the jump
