Goal: 3 Million Miles

While most car nuts are worried about putting miles on their cars, Irv Gordon is aiming for 3 MILLION miles by his 73rd birthday in 3 years.  He has been the record holder for over 1 million miles and is trying to make a milestone.  The car that has gotten him there is a 1966 Volvo P1800. Within 2 days of purchasing it he had over 1500 miles put on it and with that we can see how he sits at 2.8 million miles today.  We hope to see this car hit 3 million in the coming years as he is in a race against himself at this point with no one even remotely close to his milestone.

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport vs. Lamborghini Murcielago LP 670-4 SV

Motor Trend had the luxury of comparing these two super cars.  Sadly it wasn’t a comparison involving the new 1200 hp Veyron Super Sport, but still, 1001hp against the Lamborghini’s 660hp is still reputable.  Both cars alone are unique and can take on pretty much anything on the road, but put them side by side and all bets are off.  They say that the Veyron is smooth and has a tight suspension with responsive steering, more so than the SV oddly enough.  Bugatti really outdid themselves because this “luxury sedan” as it turns out is leagues faster than the Lambo, easily walking on the bull.  It would simply have been just a privilege to witness this power play…  Who am I kidding, give me the keys!

Audi Garage

Every car enthusiast out there has their dream garage but few of us actually can or do make it a reality.  One Audi enthusiasts has made it happen.  Let the pictures do the talking for this beautiful garage.

Porsche GT3 record run to the top of Pikes Peak

Nose pointed straight for the cliff, full throttle, and full opposite lock on the steering wheel, do you have the testicles? Because Jeff Zwart apparently does. Not only did he make it to the top of Pikes Peak with his Porsche GT3 unscathed, he set a new record for the Time Attack 2WD class. TWO WHEEL DRIVE?!? Balls.

Porsche CEO to Tackle Entry Level Porsche

Come October, Porsche will have a new CEO, Matthias Mueller.  When he becomes Porsche AG’s CEO, his task will not be easy because Porsche is trying to increase their sales numbers in the entry level segment.  They want to boost numbers from 100,000 to 150,000 by 2013.  Currently they have 4 entry level models which are based off the Cayman and the Boxster, but rumors abound that they may have an even more entry level car. It would sit below the Boxster and/or may be a small SUV similar to Volkswagen’s Tiguan.  The die hard Porsche enthusiasts do not want to see another entry level Porsche but people that want to own a Porsche would love to see something more affordable with the Porsche name.  No matter what it might be, wait to see some new things coming from Porsche to raise their sales numbers.

BMW 1 Series M Coupe Pocket Rocket

Let the pocket rocket wars begin. With the recently spotted Audi RS3 being testing on the ‘Ring’, BMW is planning a weapon of its own. Technically not a hot hatch, the BMW 1 Series M Coupe is destined to be compared to Audi’s newest RennSport addition. If you’ve ever experienced a tuned boosted 135i, this factory tuned M coupe is bound to just set the bar higher, no pun intended.

Don’t Wax Your M3

This might sound as strange to you as much as it does to me, but if you have a Frozen Gray E92 M3, DO NOT wax your car.  If you wax the car, BMW is saying that it will ruin the finish of the paint.  It is so unique that waxing it will give the car a glossy surface and take away from the overall shine.  BMW makes you even sign off that they are not responsible for any negligence towards the paint.  Have fun you Frozen Gray guys.

Auto Veloce Ferrari

Every super car manufacturer has a distinct design that makes their cars unique and distinguishable from the rest.  What Auto Veloce, a Japanese tuner, did was incorporate Lamborghini’s design on a Ferrari F430.  This F430 is very unique and could catch anyone off guard and make them take a double look.
