New movie with muscle cars, action throughout, and Dwayne Johnson playing a tough guy for a change, think 80's action flick
http://www.fasterthemovie.com/#/splash/trailer loads a lot faster in Google Chrome than Internet Explorer (ridiculously slow)
or
After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has a singular focus -- to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched bank robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to do list in hand, he’s finally on his mission, but with two men on his trail, a veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) just days from retirement and a young egocentric hitman with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It’s a do or die race to the list’s finish as the mystery surrounding his brother’s murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver’s list may be incomplete.
In theaters November 24th

This collaboration between the US Marine Corps and a car show is new to me, very cool to all, and I hope gets tons of toys for the kids the USMC helps out each year at the holidays

With the two organizations paired together, they seek to help spread the joy and cheer of the holiday season to those less fortunate. By doing this, we are giving back to the community in hopes for a better tomorrow. "

I just stumbled across a bad news photo... the Mastersons Kustoms "Genuine imported Brazilian female orangutan underam hair carpet" is wrecked
Above photo I took at this springs Beatnik Blowout
the news and photo are terrible, my consolations to the owner, and hopes that no one was hurt. Smashed photo from http://400bc.blogspot.com/2010/10/please.html who asks that we be careful out there
Update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUn9cyYlcvw&feature=player_embedded the video owner disabled our ability to post the video here, but it's extensively filmed the wrecked custom.
The driver lost control and smashed into the back of a big rig in North Long Beach. The car was going northbound on Paramount Blvd at a high rate of speed at the time of the accident. A car show trophy was seen on seen of the crash. Long Beach PD is investigating accident as a psssible DUI. The passenger had to be cut of the car. Both the passenger and the driver were transported to local hospitals. The classic car was a total loss.

Ken Block's Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l'Autodrome, France (the coolest thrashing of a Ford Fiesta ever)
To get to the action the fastest, skip the first 50 seconds, though I recommend reading it.
Pirelli is a major sponsor for Ken, and they had this video on loop above the Pirelli area, that is how I found out about it.
It takes about 8 minutes for this video to load, so you may want to key it up and go grab something to eat or drink while it loads up. ENJOY!
the half done Falcon from Fins customs and classics, the best display of what can be done when restoring and upgrading an old car
The car took about 2 months to complete, Fins did the body, paint and detail. The interior was done at Prime time in Turlock and the audio system was done at liquid trends in Modesto.
Believe me that looking at side by side before and after will never be easier to judge the quality work of a comapny
