Video of the Week: How to drive the pants off a GTV6

This video says it all about why the GTV6 is just such a great car.  The sound, the handling, the value. It's just one of the best V6 coupes of all time. He's just eating Miatas for lunch here.

Wednesday Evening Moment of Zen

I had to post this incomparably cool photo posted by Motoring con Brio earlier this week.  Might be my favorite photo of 2012.

New Kavinsky video vs. Old Kavinsky video

Animation trumps live action some times...

I love the animated Dead Cruiser video with its plethora of allusions to all things 80's: Sega's Out Run, Risky Business, Terminator, Akira, Miami Vice, and much more all bundled into one visually splendid video.  Somehow, when they made the new Kavinsky video in live action, the cost of shooting a period car chase live action really limits the plot development, and it's a lot less interesting despite the pleasure of seeing a Testarossa in the flesh.  Also, the fact that the anemic Mustang cop car can even keep up with the Flat 12 Testarossa is sort of laughable...

I've got a Crush...

...on this Ferrari 308 GTB Group 4 rally car.  It looks sensational from every angle!
