Lance Burton makes a Corvette disappear!

My friend insisted that we see magician Lance Burton at the Monte Carlo casino in Vegas.  Burton, 50, is about to retire.  The show was surprisingly entertaining, in a cheesy, campy, and perhaps ironic way.  He even made a C4 Corvette with the square-ish taillights (shows you how old that trick is) float and disappear.  I don't know how he does it but I could tell it's just a Corvette body with maybe a golf cart engine.

Best NPR thank you gift

I just made my contribution to NPR, which I listen to at least three times a day.  My original intent was to turn down the thank you gift, but how could I turn down a pair of tickets to the American LeMans Series race in two weeks at Laguna Seca?  Now I just gotta find my earplugs.

Here is the GT2 battle from last season between a Corvette and a Porsche.  That is some exciting sh&t.

2010 Moraga Community Faire car show

There were just two dozen cars on display but they were all fantastic.

This 1947 Bentley estate was a head scratcher.  I voted for this as my favorite.


One out of eight cars on display were Maseratis.  I like those odds.

This is the second Indy I have seen in my life.












Maserati Merak flying buttress


There are always interesting cars at car show parking lots.  It's like moths to a flame.  Here is a Qvale Mangusta.

How to sell your car by taking pictures

Bahman Cars in Geneva is a purveyor of exquisite classic and used cars.  The inventory is eclectic and fascinating.  What really stand out on its website are the professional photographs of the cars for sale.  The company can surely open a lucrative division just selling paper calendars and digital wallpapers of its car pics.  They are that good.

I had forgotten/failed to realize, until now, what a radically revolutionary car this was for GM.

2nd Generation Camaro And Firebird Trans Am CHP Police Cars In The Junkman Movie



I rarely mention Jalopnik because I assume all of you are regular visitors to that site. Today's post about the epic Camarobird collection may be the most Jalop post of them all. I looked into second generation Camaro police cars and I found this movie called The Junkman. Why have I never heard of this movie? It looks awesome.
