This is how I want to play soccer... Anyone want to start a league?

This is me driving. Really it is.

And it could be yours in about another week. If you have a million bucks or so.

Carroll Shelby's personal 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 Supersnake (Lot #1301), which was designed and built solely for the racing legend, will be sold at No Reserve during the 36th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Event from Jan. 13-21, 2007, in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"When I built this dual supercharged 427 Cobra in 1966, I wanted it to be the fastest, meanest car on the road," said Shelby. "Forty years later, it will still kick the tail of just about anything in the world. It's the fastest street legal Cobra I've ever owned."

Shelby chose CSX3015 from a line of 19 production Competition Cobras and installed a monstrous 427cid, 800-hp twin Paxton supercharged V-8 with a super three-speed automatic transmission.

One sentence comes to mind-Holy Shit that thing is fast!

The British JCB Dieselmax team has averaged a speed of 328.767mph to break the land speed record for diesel powered vehicles.

The record was set on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah by driver Wing Commander Andy Green. The first run was made at an average speed of 324.248mph with the return run averaging 333.339mph.

The team beat the previous record of 235mph which has stood for more than 30 years. In 1997, Green became the fastest man in the world when he drove ThrustSSC through the sound barrier to a speed of 763.035mph.

The JCB Dieselmax he drove was designed by a British team and is powered by a version of the same engine that is used in ordinary JC

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - In the latest boost to its dominance in portable music players, Apple Computer Inc. is teaming with General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and Mazda Motor Corp. to integrate the iPod into car audio systems.

Well it's about fucking time. Gee, what a concept. A few vehicles came out with din jacks several years ago and then decided it wasn't a good idea.

Just Unbelievable! And you thought those people that set up a room full of dominos to knock over were amazing...

There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it is two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history.

Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six, and only six, hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh. And about those funky windshield wipers...On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet. It looks a bit weird in the commercial.

Thanks Chris
