Auto:(Video) What Would You Pay To Own A President’s Truck?

It is amazing what can happen to the value of a car just because of who owned it at one point. President George W. Bush gave up his 2009 Ford F-150 truck for charity to be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson auction that took place this past weekend. It is a pretty much basic F-150, except for the fact President Bush owned it. Jay Leno tried his best to raise the price up, but it wound up going for $300,000! Pretty expensive at the end of the day for a Ford truck, but I definitely understand the collectible value of it. Watch the video of the auction below to get a better look at the truck, which is very nice by the way. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video) Watch The Birth Of The New SRT Viper! Mean!!

Remember about 10 years ago, when the Dodge Viper was one of those cars that turned heads and was in demand for the car lover who could afford it? Well it kind of faded over the years, and there has not been any in the past 3 years. That all changes now. The 2013 Dodge SRT Viper is ready to hit the road and the car is tough!! The Street Racing Technology (SRT) definitely enhances the car compared to earlier ones. The V10 engine will roar with 640HP to scare away anyone who wants to test one at a stoplight. Estimated that it will go 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 206mph, solidifies the Viper as a super sportscar. It will cost you around $100k for the base model, so be ready to open that wallet up. Check the video below of the first new Viper being put together at the plant, from the first engine part all the way until the test drive the finished product, it’s a hot video. IamJOE357


Auto:(Photos) Original “Batmobile” Sells For How Much?? Daaaammmnn

Holy bank account Batman!! The original Batmobile from the 1960’s was sold this weekend at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona for a crazy $4.6 MILLION!! The final price was $4.2 million, add in the commissions from the sale and it brings it up to the $4.6 number. The guy who bought it owns a logistics company which I guess I can safely say does very well. The reserve price during the auction was $2.5 million, which means the previous owner seriously hit the jackpot at the auction. The new owner will have to provide his own sound effects. Kick! Punch! Blam! Check the gallery for pics of the famous ride. IamJOE357


Auto: Bentley SUV Almost Ready For Production

Fantasy may soon become reality for car lovers, even the ones who can’t afford it. Bentley is close to a final decision on whether to build a luxury SUV, but it is leaning heavily towards being done according to the company CEO Wolfgang Schreiber. It is expected to be completed and released within the next 3 years. Scheriber said the SUV would resemble more how the brand looks, instead of the concept SUV they released last year, which is in the main picture of this post. I guess I am blind though, because the concept SUV definitely resembles the Bentley brand in my opinion. Only the super rich I am sure will be able to afford it and I doubt some of the buyers would even care other than the fact the big “B” is on the ride. Rappers, athletes and Hollywood A-lister’s, get your money ready. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video) Back To The Future, Riding On Water

Ever since Back To The Future was released back in the 80’s, it instantly made the DeLorean a classic car, whether your a fan of it or not. To this day, if you see someone who customized a DeLorean, even in a cheap way, it still catches your eye and you make a comment referring to the movie. But what if your at the beach and you see one coming towards you…..from the ocean! McFly never imagined this! The people on the shore are completely caught off guard. Check out the video below and see for yourself. It actually looks fun, but I am scared of deep water so I’m good. IamJOE357


Auto:(Photos)Hate It Or Love It Poll.. You Ready For a BMW M5 Pickup??

You have seen numerous people custom make a car or truck out of parts from other vehicles to make their own version of a certain ride. There have been so called “M5 pickups” seen before, but they are not the real deal like this. This is a full BMW ride that was customized by Car Throttle. They claim the V8 engine kicks out 542HP, so you know it definitely has the M engine. It could come in a 7 gear automatic, or 6 speed manual. I personally do not like how this looks. I feel it takes away from the luxury look you get with BMW, but that is just me. Check the gallery for the other pic and take the poll below and let us know how you feel. Thing is I could actually see this catching on, even though it would not be for me. IamJOE357
