For a week, Swindle was all over every Target and Wal-Mart in the L.A. Valley. Now we're back to just Hound and the two dust collectors (Side Swipe and Silverstreak).

So...did anyone here actually pay to watch Elektra this weekend?

Now who said that? All I see is a Chrysler 300C that got whacked with an ugly stick.

The '80s was not exactly a bad era for American cars. American Muscle made a small return in the form of the Buick Grand National and the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS.

Okay, that's just messed-up. What kind of customer service is that? BTW, bhop, got any pics of your Turbo DSM?

Damn...it's been months since I've watched the show.

Speaking of Mitsubishi, I'd actually like to see the new Eclipse in production, especially since the current model looks like crap (and it doesn't help that my former boss drives one). Right now, the only good thing going for them (aside from their SUVs) is the EVO; everything else isn't worth buying, especially the fugly new Galant. What Mitsubishi should've actually done over a decade ago was import the FTO (as featured in the Gran Turismo games and Jackie Chan's First Strike). Despite being FWD, the FTO is lighter, quicker and more agile than the Eclipse. And there was a time when I drove nothing but the FTO LM race car in the first GT game.

At least one regular bullet and at most one red tab.

Exactly. My mom gave me this camera as a birthday gift last year. That's why I'm saving up for at least a Canon A400. (Or maybe I'll just go back to old-school 35mm and buy a wide-angle lens for my Canon EOS 50.)

Nope, didn't see it. Must've debuted in Detroit.

Sweet camera. No wonder you've got so many professional shots. All I got is this POS GrandVision CoolDV 550.

Too far. Deadzone, since Burbank is about 10-15 minutes away from Hollywood, I have an extra Grimlock MIB in my car that I'm willing to sell. PM me if you're interested.

Now it's safe to say your Gundam collection's got balls.

Actually, there are a few production cars that run faster than the Saleen S7: 0-60, Seconds Bugatti Veyron: 2.9 sec McLaren F1: 3.1 sec Enzo Ferrari: 3.2 sec Ferrari F430: 3.5 sec Lamborghini Diablo GT: 3.7 sec Lamborghini Murcielago: 3.8 sec Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren: 3.8 sec Ford GT: 3.8 sec

Yeah, it looks better than its counterpart, the Pontiac Solstice.

Damn, man. What kind of camera are you using?

You just have to keep looking around. Here's the Alternators scoreboard for the L.A.

Download the video here Apparently, when both the Ferrari and Viper were nearing a sharp left turn by a cliff, the Viper locked its brakes, causing it to miss the turn. The Viper fell 150 feet off the cliff, but landed upright.

Speaking of downloading videos, has anyone seen one where a Ferrari F355 races a Dodge Viper GTS? SPOILER: The Viper misses a turn and falls off a cliff!

I saw this one race featuring a Ferrari F50, a Porsche 911 GT2, a Gemballa 911, a Lamborghini Murcielago and a Honda NSX Type-R. The F50 won, but that was expected. What was unexpected from the race was the way the NSX outhandled the Murcielago in the corners. The only way the Murcielago was able to beat the NSX was through the straightway. Another race focused on the Porsche 911 Turbo and featured a Ferrari 360 Modena, a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, a Honda NSX Type-R, a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, and a Corvette. The Porsche won, but the Skyline nearly smoked it in the corners with the EVO not too far behind. The Ferrari finished fifth, losing to the NSX.

She's been like that since Independence Day.
