"For Sale" of the Day: 1982 CHP Mustang
May 25, 2008 19:29:00Filed under: Time Warp, Coupes, Sports/GTs, Ford, Police/Emergency 
Click image for photo gallery
The news that the Indiana state police are adding new, unmarked Mustang GTs to their patrol fleet sent this blogger over to SSPMustang.org for a little nostalgia. SSPMustang is a site dedicated to the 1982 - 1993 Special Service Package Mustangs and the enthusiasts who find them and keep them going. You dont have to think that far back to recall when the sight of an tinted-out, unmarked 5.0 LX notch on the side of the highway was something youd immediately jump on the brakes for. Many states had marked ones, too, and in all cases, they were manned by troopers ready to give pursuit.
I clicked on the sites "For Sale" link out of curiosity, and lo and behold, theres a beauty up for grabs. The 1982 California Highway Patrol SSP 5.0L you see above belongs to SSPMustang.org webmaster Mike Riley, and hes letting it go. As you can see, its been fully restored, right down to the period-correct radios and reproduction "E" plates, among other things. The listing has an extensively detailed rundown on the car, its history, and the work done on it as well as several more large photos. While youre on the site, visit the "Features" section, where you can see more cars, including Rileys interesting 86 SSP Stang that served as the Indian Rocks, FL fire chiefs car. Neat stuff. As for the CHP ride, hes asking $11,500 for it. If you decide to make it yours, our only recommendation is that you refrain from driving it in Dearborn, MI.

"Hello dad, I totaled your Ferrari - what time is dinner?"
May 5, 2008 10:58:00Filed under: Coupes, Sports/GTs, Etc., Supercars, Ferrari, Australia 
Somewhere, a father in Melbourne weeps. There were 16 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradales imported to Australia and New Zealand. There are now 15. A proud dad gave his son the keys to his so-rare-its-almost-extinct Ferrari, and his son got a little too frisky with the audacious redhead. She didnt appreciate his advances, he lost control of the situation, and that little redhead introduced him to a pole... at a high rate of speed by the looks of it.
And as if that didnt beat all, the kid had to call home. While news crews watched. And filmed. Only to have newspapers and blogs spread the story around the world. No word on what his father said, but it probably rhymed with "Why I oughta @#%$*&%!"
Police say the driver was speeding, which means he must not have seen these commercials. But now, at least, he has a theme song, so sing along: "To you other kids all across the land, take it from me, parents just dont understand..." Thanks for the tip, Patrick!

"Stepneygate" verdict reached: McLaren stripped of 07 championship points, fined $100 million
September 13, 2007 16:07:00Filed under: Motorsports 
The ongoing "Stepneygate" espionage scandal that has embroiled Formula 1 this summer has drawn to a conclusion (for the time being, at least), and the World Motor Sport Council has meted out some severe punishment. McLaren F1 has been stripped of all its constructors championship points for the 2007 season and fined $100,000,000 USD -- a record amount. This puts Ferrari in the points lead and makes them the probable champions this year. The BBC also reports that McLaren must prove that none of its cars are making use of any improperly-obtained Ferrari intellectual property before the beginning of next years F1 campaign.
McLaren will finish out the current F1 season on the track, and both Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso have retained their accumulated drivers championship points. The FIAs findings and the councils reasoning behind its verdict will be released tomorrow. McLaren boss Ron Dennis will apparently wait to see this information before making a final decision on whether hes going to appeal the councils decision, though based on his quotes in the BBCs report, it sounds like his minds made up, and an appeal is all but inevitable.
Thanks to all who sent tips!

"The Ramp" Trailer Online, Documentary Film Of 2009 BMW 1-Series "Launch" [Ad Watch]
March 24, 2008 18:15:00 We first dropped news of what seems to be the viral ad campaign for the 2009 BMW 1-Series called "Rampenfest" a couple of weeks ago, but now theres an update on the progress of things. We received an email from "Jeff Schultz," the apparent documentarian, congratulating us on being the first to discover the project and informing us theres a poster in our future for the effort. We smell direct marketing, but what the hey, maybe we can give away a poster. Anyway, the trailer for the film is over at the Rampenfest, and its ripe with German stereotypes, bizarrely large teeth, and a ginormous ramp in the fake town of Oberpfaffelbachen.

"Twist the Throttle" motorcycle documentary series launches online
March 21, 2008 19:01:00Filed under: Euro, Japan, Videos, Motorcycles 
Over the weekend, Dylan Weiss from Cry Havoc Productions, Inc. let us know that his latest motorcycle-specific documentary went live at Discoverys Turbo online site. Weve spent some time watching the footage, and we think its awesome. Focusing in on Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Ducati, MV Agusta and Bimota, the crew took plenty of footage home with them and managed to ride some of the greatest modern sportbikes ever created along the way. Best of all, over four hours of video is available online for free at their mini-site, broken down into 50 segments.
The whole shebang was shot in High Definition, so we have some serious hopes that it will air on The Discovery Channel, be offered on DVD or both. Its extremely entertaining and we definitely recommend checking it out. Thanks for the tip, Dylan!

$2.8 million Ivory-Carved Dragon BMW Speaks for Itself [Novelties]
December 13, 2007 20:15:00 Some carved vehicles are okay, but this one by Folk artist Su Zhongyang, definitely isnt. You see, Su spends a lot of time carving dragons into ivory and yak bone. The carvings themselves doesnt look too bad, especially if you check out some of close-ups in the gallery below. However, its what he did with the carvings that is truly horrifying. As if you cant already tell, the carvings are plastered all over this BMW 3-series thats already on the Tammy Faye-side of the gaudy meter, thanks to the excessive usage of gold and even diamonds. Surprisingly, the ivory rock only adds another 600 pounds or so to the vehicles curb weight, having a who-knows-what effect to the performance. The cars on display in Guangzhous Zhenhai Tower, if anyone feels compelled to see this thing in person. [Born Rich]

0-300 in 10 minutes: Honda Civic Mugen RR a sellout in Japan
September 18, 2007 18:54:00Filed under: Sedans/Saloons, Sports/GTs, Japan, Honda  
Click image for photo gallery
The Honda Civic Mugen RR (based on the new JDM Honda Civic Type R) is limited to a total production run of 300 cars. Japanese track fiends with ¥4.7million to spend on a spiffy, street-legal time attack weapon are its target audience -- and a receptive one at that. On September 14th at 9:00 AM local time in Japan, reservations for Mugens ultimate Type R officially began being taken. By 9:10 AM, according to the Japanese enthusiast site, Carview, the 300th reservation was placed. However you want to parse the numbers (were sure additional reservations were taken, in case some prospective buyers bail out), one things certain: all 300 cars are spoken for well in advance of the expected January delivery date.
Those lucky enough to secure the Mugen RR receive a lighter, more powerful and track-tuned Civic Type R that in the right hands is capable of lapping Japans Tsukuba circuit in 1:06:38. At least thats what the folks at Mugen were able to wring out of it. Were sure some of the cars buyers will be looking to top that number as soon as they have a chance. With this thing, life is a driving game, and Time Attack mode is always on.

1-Series on BMW website with official pricing
December 17, 2007 13:02:00Filed under: Car Buying, Coupes, BMW 
 The 1-Series has officially joined BMWs line up in the United States, having finally been added to the brands official website. Along with its place among the Ultimate Driving Machines online, the 1-Series also gets officially pricing, which turns out to be exactly what we thought it would be. The 135i will have an MSRP of $34,900 plus a $775 charge for delivery and all the whatnots involved with a purchasing a car. The 128i, meanwhile, will start at $28,600 and carry an identical $775 charge for destination and delivery.
The 128i is powered by BMWs 3.0L inline-six producing 230 horsepower, while the top shelf 135i is motivated by the superlative twin-turbo 3.0L inline-six producing 300 HP. Both are, of course, rear-wheel drive, small, and relatively light weight at around 3,200 lbs. - the purest coupes from BMW weve seen in a while. We optioned up a 135i with everything and arrived at an MSRP of $48,995 (thats it above - how you like the Cashmere Silver Metallic?). Frankly, thats ridiculously expensive for a car this size, regardless of what wheels are being driven or the engine under the hood. Do you think theyre worth the high asking price? Answer in our poll below.

11 Questions with 24 Hours of LeMons Founder Jay Lamm [24 Hours Of Lemons]
January 4, 2008 16:15:00 Loverman: How did the 24 Hours of LeMons start?
Jay Lamm: Basically, with way too much beer and chinese food. Wed been doing this road-rally thing called the Double 500, a 500-kilometer road rally for $500 cars, for years. I came up with the general idea for the Double 500 one day after the California MIlle, while I was taunting Martin Swig that it was too easy for the Mille guys to just solve all their mechanical problems with a check wrench. I was pretty much just busting his chops, but Martin isnt one to take that lying down. He called my bluff, and actually wound up organizing and hosting the Double 500 as a street rally. Anyway, a few years later, a bunch of us SF car guys were sitting around at our regular Saturday lunch one day, and we all kind of agreed that the Double 500 had gotten too easy...
There were really great $500 cars everywhere, and just about any of them could make it 500 kilometers. So I just figured a 24-hour race on a track was the next level of difficulty.
In retrospect, adding the racetrack and the 24-hour duration was my way of guaranteeing that youd have more of those panicky, hilarious mechanical crises that make vintage rallies and vintage racing so much fun. (You know, fun for the other people who are watching you suffer....) Loverman: What took you so long to think it up?
Jay Lamm: The waitress was slow with the refills. Loverman: I didnt read your answer to the first question. Where did the $500 limit come from? Like why not $250, or $1,000? Or $5,000?
Jay Lamm: It just seemed like the right number, really. Martin was originally lobbying for $1000 before the first Double 500, but I really felt that would be way too easy, which it basically turned out to be. And I kept thinking back to my $500 Porsche 928S, which was the greatest $500 car of all time. (If I still had that thing I wouldve RULED Thunderhill.) Loverman: You pay the $1,500 prize money in nickels. Care to explain that?
Jay Lamm: Well, I didnt want people taking this thing too seriously, and I definitely didnt want anyone there who thought they could come out and make their investment back. If you care that much, youre definitely in the wrong race. Its actually $3000 in nickels, since first place wins $1500, Peoples Choice gets a grand, and Organizers Choice gets $500. Brilliant me, it failed to occur to me that this gag meant Id have to get 1200 pounds of nickels out of the bank every time and haul them all the damn way to the track. I actually blew the struts out of my Volvo wagon moving them around at the last Altamont race. Loverman: Can you compare and contrast the early race(s) to the Thunderhill event? Are the races improving? Trends you like/dislike?
Jay Lamm: The early races were just knuckledusters, really. I swear--and its incredible now to even say it--but before the first race it just NEVER EVEN OCCURRED TO ME that I ought to stand up beforehand and tell the drivers, the corners workers, and the flaggers what I wanted to see in terms of contact and black flags and general behavior. In general, as Ive learned how to express and enforce my desire for clean racing, the races themselves have gotten better. The last Altamont event was an exception, though--there was way, way more bumping and shortcutting than I wanted to see--so Dan Radowicz, whose LeMons chief steward, and I went back to the drawing board and developed some new rules, new penalties, and a new drill for the drivers meeting to combat that. I think it worked really well at Thunderhill, so Id say the positive trend is really back in force now. Loverman: Whats your favorite all time LeMons race? Your least favorite?
Jay Lamm: My favorite so far has to be the Detroit 07 race. It was a straight 24 hours, and wed never done one outside California before that. Those seemed like two really big challenges going in, and the fact that it all came together made me totally smug at the end--even though it was really the ARCA guys working at Flat Rock Speedway who made it all come together. I wouldve ended up flat on my butt without them--they were really, really good. Which, now that I think of it, is probably another big reason I liked that one so much. Anyway, my least favorite was definitely the last October 07 Altamont race. I stupidly let the bumper-car guys get out of hand at the start, and then we all had to fight the whole rest of the weekend just to keep trying to rein it back in. That was a total frickin drag. Loverman: Please explain the Peoples Curse. The Mazdasaurus Wrecks guys seemed pretty upset -- do some Cursed teams take it better than others? At the Altamont race, the Peoples Curse -- a 7-Series that you penalized 3,000 laps -- got crushed but was still able to get back on the track. This time out, the engine was ripped out of the Mazdasaurus and destroyed. Why the discrepancy?
Jay Lamm: Every team gets one ballot at the start of the race, and on it they can nominate their favorite car (the Peoples Choice) and their most hated car (the Peoples Curse). The Curse was intended to keep awful behavior, and/or blatant cheating, in check, since its a way for the other teams to all police one particularly egregious offender. As it turns out, weve only had one or two recipients who I thought really deserved it. The rest just got caught up in bad luck or sort of a mob mentality. Interestingly, the guys that I think really didnt deserve it--the BMW 7-series leaps to mind, and the Car & Driver Oldsmobile, and the Rubber Biscuit Impala at Flat Rock--have all taken it incredibly well. We try to beat the car to just this side of destruction, really, because in those cases I really wanted to see them get back on the track after a suitable amount of humbling repairs had been done. In the last race at Thunderhill, it just sort of happened that the guy operating the excavator was also driving on one of the teams, and the car that got the Curse had just punted him out on the track a few times. He wasnt in much of a mood to be gentle, and I cant say I felt very bad about that. I really like the guys who were driving that Mazda, and theyre all really talented, experienced racers in much bigger venues than this one, but they definitely pushed all the other teams buttons. I thought it was probably appropriate that their car wound up 16 inches tall this time. Loverman: Why do you black flag teams? Is it purely subjective? Lots of teams seemed to be griping that they were in fact hit and then penalized for the aftermath. Not that I trust em, but most busted teams had the same story.
Jay Lamm: Its amazing. Weve got about 120 years worth of combined professional flagging and race-operation experience watching the track at any given moment. Theyre all in constant radio communication, and theyre always comparing observations from different angles, double-checking race numbers, cooperatively deciding whos really screwing the pooch and whos basically doing okay.... And yet we always, without fail, ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE TIME, end up black-flagging the wrong guy. I really cant understand it.
Loverman: Yeah, well, keep trying. Youll get it right one day. Anyhow, what does the future hold for the 24 Hours of LeMons?
Jay Lamm: Lots of pissed-off French attorneys, Im thinking.
Loverman: Youre the editor of Sports Car International. Could you please share with our readers the contents of your personal garage? Also, are you involved with the California Mille? or do you just have a really cool blue jacket?
Jay Lamm: No, I USED to be the editor of Sports Car International, back in the 90s. Ive also been editor at various times of Vintage Motorsport, Corvette Magazine, and a few other titles. Now I have my own company, DriversDoor Inc., that produces cover-to-cover books and magazines for outside clients who dont want to run their own editorial staffs. Which, when I look at the poeple weve got working here, I can totally understand. 
My personal garage, which is unfortunately also my living room, currently has a 71 Alfa GTV racecar in it, which sounds really boss until you realize that the entire exterior is painted in green Hammerite and that the brakes havent been re-connected ever since I welded new floors into it 17 months ago. I also have a really nice 73 240Z in here that I love, despite being a nose-heavy sow. (The Datsun, that is. Im more of a gut-heavy swine.) Theres a gorgeous 58 MGA in here too, but that belongs to my friend Johnathan. His wife made him move out to the garage--Im not making this up--so he needed a new place to store it. Outside Ive got an old Miata and an 01 Volvo T5 wagon thats totally covered in dog hair, plus an execreble Airstream camper and, someplace, a couple of LeMons racecars. (Theres a Porsche Im pretty sure I could find if I had to, but my Celica GTS might as well be orbiting Pluto.) Ummm...theres probably a couple more, but thats all I can remember. My involvement with the California Mille just extends to driving in it. I agree that my blue jacket is really cool, but then again it should be--it cost me $2400, ie half the entry fee for a 51 Alfa 1900. Which, I might add, took a giant dump a day-and-a-half into the rally. (What are the chances?) Loverman:Writers from both Jalopnik and Autoblog will most likely have cars entered into the may race at Altamont. Who will you be would you place money on, and why?
Jay Lamm: If we keep getting this much good coverage on Jalopnik, definitely your car. If not, Id have to predict a rousing come-from-behind win for Autoblog. Call it a gut feeling. [Want even more information about the righteous 24 Hours of LeMons? Check out their website]

12 Hours of Sebring: Audi finally beats Peugeot with weeks fastest lap yet
March 12, 2008 15:55:00Filed under: Motorsports, Audi, Peugeot 
Click above for high-res gallery from this weeks 12 Hours of Sebring practice
An epic battle is shaping up for this weekends running of the 12 Hours of Sebring. Audi versus Peugeot. The R10 TDI versus the 908 HDi. Diesel versus diesel. This will be the first and perhaps only time that these two teams race on American soil, though the contest will be repeated many times in the European Le Mans Series this season. Since Monday, Audi and Peugeot have been battling for the best lap times during practice sessions in preparation for this weekends endurance race at Sebring Raceway, and Peugeot got the upper hand on both Monday and Tuesday. Audi, which is fielding two cars to Peugeots one, finally fought back today posting the fastest lap time of the week thanks to driver Dindo Capello, who ran a 1:45.491, just 0.017 seconds faster than Stephane Sarrazin in the Peugeot 908.
But Audi and Peugeot in the LMP1 class should be wary of focusing too much on each other, as there are other entrants that could spoil their fun. Marco Andretti, for instance has been blisteringly fast in his Andretti Green Racing Acura ARX-01b, setting the second fastest lap time overall on Tuesday. As we learned from watching the LMP2 class beat up on Audi last year, Le Mans racing is anyones game. The nature of endurance racing, however, favors fuel economy, and therefore the diesel-powered R10 TDI and 908 HDi should have the advantage. There will be plenty of great racing in the GT1 and GT2 classes as well, with Aston Martin squaring off against the Corvette Racing Team and Porsche taking on Ferrari, respectively. Stay tuned for race results probably late Saturday or early Sunday, and check out some spectacular images from this weeks testing in the gallery below.

12 Hours of Sebring: Audi makes a Peugeot sandwich on starting grid
March 14, 2008 13:58:00Filed under: Motorsports, Audi, Peugeot 
As we mentioned yesterday, Audi and Peugeot have been locked in a battle of lap times all week at Sebring Raceway in preparation for the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race on Saturday. In yesterdays practice sessions, Audi turned in a very fast lap of 1:43.195s that would eventually earn it the pole position. Peugeot answered Audis effort later in the day, however, during the actual qualifying session for the race that would determine the starting grid. The 908 HDi driven by Stephane Sarrazin crushed Audis top lap in practice with a time of 1:43:117s, which effectively secured Peugeot the pole position.
Unfortunately for Peugeot, fate stepped in and bitch slapped the French automakers racing team. Welcome to America, guys. Just nine minutes after the qualifying session began and after the 908 HDi had recorded its fast lap, the No. 8 Mazda was involved in an accident bad enough to cancel the session entirely. ALMS rules state that a minimum of ten minutes must be run in a qualifying session for it to count. Therefore, Peugeots fastest lap time was thrown out. Since the nine-minute long qualifying session couldnt be counted, organizers used lap times from earlier in the day during practice sessions in which Audi set the fastest lap time mentioned above.
Thus, your starting grid for the 2008 12 Hours of Sebring will be Audi and Peugeot on the front row, with another Audi in the first spot of the second row. Both teams obviously view what transpired yesterday very differently. Read the press releases from both Audi and Peugeot after the jump to see how they really feel about each other.

150 Old Cars Down On Alamedas Street [Down On The Street]
December 18, 2007 15:00:00 When I started the Down On The Street series, Id shot a handful of cars and figured Id be able to do a few dozen more before running out. Sure, I knew the island city of Alameda, California, had plenty of old cars parked on the street, but with a population of just 70,000 on a mere ten square miles of land, how many could there be? Well, it turns out the answer is: Plenty!
Not only have we reached car number 150, I have sufficient photos stockpiled to keep the series going for quite a while. And now Ill answer some of the questions I keep getting from readers about Down On The Street:
Q: Did you really find all these cars parked on the streets of Alameda?
A: Yes, every one of them. Sometimes well post photos of street-parked old/cool cars from other places, but they get the Down On The Street Bonus Edition title.
Q: Why dont you obscure the license plates in the photos?
A: These cars are parked on public property, with plates in plain view, which implies that their owners accept that the plate numbers may be seen by the general public. Ive considered blurring the plates anyway, but the photos look unpleasant that way; in any case, since the state of California has anti-stalker laws that make it difficult to trace a cars owner from its plate number, its extremely unlikely that any badness will befall the cars owners. I dont give out exact locations, and I dont photograph cars in driveways.
Q: Are all these cars daily drivers? Many of them are. Some of them are cars that were just visiting the island (or getting some fresh air after being in a garage), and some of them rarely move from their spots. Id say two-thirds of these cars are driven at least a few times per week.
Q: Do car owners ever get upset when they see you photographing their cars?
A: Never. Im careful not to touch the cars or even get too close when photographing them, which is why interior shots are uncommon in this series. Ive had quite a few owners come out to see whats going on; when I explain, theyre usually very happy to have someone whos willing to show their car to the world. Ive heard plenty of good stories from car owners while shooting DOTS photos. In at least two cases, the cars have been owned by Jalopnik readers.
Q: Why does such a small city have so many old cars parked on the street?
Good question, and one to which I have no authoritative answer. I have some theories, which are:
Weather: Alameda is an island in the San Francisco Bay, and the weather is quite mild. It doesnt snow here, and rain is very rare between April and November. This means rust isnt much of a problem. The sun isnt as harsh as in the Southwest, so upholstery and paint hold up pretty well.
Limited Off-Street Parking: Most of present-day Alameda was completely built up by the early 20th century, and the 1906 earthquake- which devastated much of the region- barely touched the island. This means most of the houses were built before cars were beyond the novelty Horseless Carriage stage, so garages arent as common as in other cities. Many houses built in the 1910s and 1920s have semi-basement garages intended for tall, narrow cars with high clearance that can deal with a 30-degree grade. The water table is so close to the surface here that digging a deep garage requires some serious sump-pump hardware, lest you find your ride in four feet of water.
Hot Rod Tradition: Alameda has had a vibrant culture of hoons hopping up their cars since the days of the Model T, and so you have the old guys passing on the virus to the younger guys. Some of the car clubs on the island have unbroken lineages dating back to the 1920s. And that leads straight to...
The Island That Time Forgot: Alameda is a weird place, and I mean that in the best possible way. Its essentially a David Lynch movie set in a sunny California climate, among Victorian and Craftsman architecture and a small-town mentality that belies its urban grid street pattern and population density (which, in fact, is higher than San Franciscos). The island is full of old people who never cross a bridge, whose original-owner classics never drive faster than 25 and are used only for short trips to Oles Waffles or Lee Auto Supply. Its also full of young people who start to feel that an old car just, you know, make the most sense. You never know what this town will do to you; Jim Morrison arrived on the island as a wholesome Navy kid, and by the time he departed for LA hed become a dopefiend weirdo poet.
OK, lets take a look at the cars! Theyre arranged in chronological order according to manufacture date, from 1937 to 1988; click on the text below a photo to see that vehicles complete post.

We regularly mock anything and everything NASCAR-related around these parts, but you cant deny the fanbase of this racing sport, as proven by this ridiculously amazing NASCAR-themed tailgating trailer. It is loaded up with a full size stainless steel Cal Flame grill, CD/DVD combo deck, JVC stereo system with two 12-inch subs, storage compartments for coolers, racing tires, customized rims and enough diamond plate to make truckers jealous. All of this is available for $17,000 on eBay and it currently has zero bids. [
