Importfest 2008 Season Finale took place this past weekend at the Toronto Metro Convention Center from noon until midnight. Here are some of the good photos that turned out. This is a follow up post to my earlier and very popular 2008 Importfest Toronto - Ass Photos collection.
IMHO, it just wouldn’t be quality coverage of any car event without the proper coverage of the models and babes of the show. The only thing more popular than a modified Nissan GT-R at the 2008 SEMA Show were all the properly modified racks
Filmed in 2 states, with at least a dozen soapy girls washing, driving and wrecking cars, you’ll see Corvettes, a Saleen S7, the wreckage of a Porsche GT3 and finally girl on girl drag race between the Mercedes Benz AMG C63 and the BMW E63 M6.
Yesterday March 11, 2009, in Newport Beach there was a super deadly crash involving 2 exotic cars and as a result TAPOUT founder Charles “Mask” Lewis was pronounced dead at the scene, a second injured, a third arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter and a fourth person detained by police.
Yesterday, November 11, 2009 at 3pm a man yet to be identified drove his $2 million dollar Bugatti Veyron into a saltwater lagoon (Galveston County, Texas) when apparently a low-flying pelican distracted him as he traveled north on Interstate 45 just south of the hurricane levee near Omega Bay.
Sometimes we all need a little wake me up on a Monday morning (especially after a ridiculous Saturday night stag), so I have decided to unleash my second last 2008 SEMA Show Girls Pictures post. 2008 SEMA Show Girls Pictures Part II.
Enjoy this third batch of the aftermarket bolt on crew from the 2008 SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
Last week we brought you the news about the 36-car Corvette collection belonging to artist Peter Max being moved out of a former Daily News printing plant in Brooklyn. But where did the Vettes go? Luckily, a DigitalCorvettes.com member was in the right place in the right time and another member was able to get these pictures showing what appears to be another "several year stop" for the collection.
Here are the pics for the 2009 Miss Tuning Calendar. It’s actually pretty cool to see 3 cars in this calendar that I photographed up close and personal earlier this year at Hot Import Nights in LA. In case you missed the 2008 Miss Tuning Calendar Pictures.
In previous years, we were able to break up our annual market analysis into two top 10 lists of Corvettes that were appreciating and those that were depreciating. But 2009 wasn't kind to Corvette values and the days of double-digit growth appear to have gone by the wayside for the foreseeable future. Our Corvette Values expert Bob Kroupa of VETTE-N-VESTMENTS takes us through the numbers, so grab a tissue and gird your loins before clicking the "more" button because it ain't pretty.
Miss Lyla Dee test drives (in a BIKINI) a white e60 BMW M5 with the 7 speed SMG Transmission that Redlines at 7750 rpm! Car courtesy of Bavarian Exclusiv. The real naughty fun comes at 5:34 when the soap and bubbles come out!
Belgian tuning company Caractere adds the Audi Q5 to their list of modified vehicles. The new kit is more subtle and less aggressive than the Abt Sportsline Q5, which is good for people who want to change the appearance of their Q5 without being too flashy about it.
Ever heard of the brand Hispano? Me neither, until now. Turns out they’re a luxury car maker whose made a crap-load of cars that we’ve never heard about. But based on what they’re creating now, I have a feeling the name will get more well known in the supercar community...
One of Bernie Ecclestone’s 3 daughters Tamara Ecclestone, 25, has enjoyed piggy backing on Daddy’s powerful F1 Boss status, to develop a modeling career and has apparently become an F1 TV host. Somehow this busy young lady devotes her free time to raise awareness for PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals).
Tokyo Auto Salon 2009 starts Friday Jan 9th and goes until Sunday Jan 11th at the Makuhari Messe which is a convention centre in Japan located in the western region of Chiba Prefecture which is very close to Tokyo, Japan.
n 1989 VH1 held a contest where they gave a way 36 Corvettes - one for every year beginning in 1953 through 1989 - to a single winner. Dennis Amodeo, a carpenter from Long Island won the collection, but before taking delivery he sold all 36 Corvettes to Pop artist Peter Max who planned to use the cars for an art project. The project never got off the ground and the Corvettes ended up parked in a Brooklyn building where they were essentially forgotten.
As Corvette Racing gears up for the start of the 2010 American Le Mans Series, the team is releasing additional details regarding the changes needed for competing in the now unified GT class. The most notable change for the GT Corvettes is the new LS5.5R V8 engine. Built alongside its LS9, LS7 and LS3 dry-sump brethrens at the Performance Build Center in Wixom, this new LS7 based engine is slimmed down to 5.5 liters and delivers 485 horsepower at 5800 rpms.
I got an email today from Corvette Racing announcing they are starting a video series to document the team through the 2010 American Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The preview video as you will see is very well-done and now I am even more fired up for the first race of the season later this month at Sebring.
More modified and pimped out rides from the 2008 Dub Show in Detroit. Lamborghini Gallardo Spider, more DONKS, more LAMBO door modified rides, slammed whips and a Monster Yellow Ford 650.
