Auto(Photos) Is This The New “IT” Car For Hollywood Stars?

Cameron Diaz can now be added to the growing list of Hollywood A-lister’s who have purchased the Tesla Model S. Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and others have already got into the Tesla driver’s seat. There could be 2 reasons this car is popular amongst these stars. One, it is a full electric car, which means these Hollywood folks can still appear as if they care about the environment without having to be caught driving a Chevy Volt or Toyota Prius. Two, the luxury you get with a Tesla vehicle , again while still saving the earth with an electric car. It is the best of both worlds if you can afford it. I will bet there will be plenty more of these cars sold to celebrities as time goes on. Check out the gallery to see Ben Affleck with his car, as well as other pics of the car itself. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video)Woman Tries To Help Driver, Gets Hit Twice!!

This video is messed up and funny at the same time. Remind me to make sure I am COMPLETELY out of the way next time I help someone back up their car. This girl tries to be nice and help another person back up correctly and what does she get for her good actions? She gets to be hit by that same driver not once, but TWICE. She backs up into her, stops for a second, and then backs up into her even worse, SMH! Check out the video below and laugh along with me at this drivers stupidity. IamJOE357


Auto:(Video) Police Chase Becomes Too Real For One Person

Police chases always attract the attention of the public and news stations. I mean how couldn’t it. Breaking news that is literally happening while your watching it is sometimes too intriguing to not stop what your doing and watch. But I am not gonna lie, if what happens towards the end of this video happened to me, I would be bugging out. I do not want to ruin anything by talking too much, so I will just say watch the video below of a police chase that just happened 2 days ago in Cali. Pay close attention towards the end of the video. Has a police chase ever happened near you? IamJOE357


Auto: The Music You Have In the Car Could Affect Your Safety

Would you find it ironic that a song by Ray Charles, who was obviously blind and could not drive, would be a hazard to you driving safely? Well if you take the results of this study serious, then you just might. A study was conducted by confused.com which had drivers take a 500 mile drive. They had them drive with no music for the first half, and then the second half with music from different types of artists. Heavy metal and hip hop seemed to make drivers crank up the speed and aggression. Even some classical music had a few female drivers begin to drive much more erratic compared to no music at all. I however look at it that the reason these drivers could of acted differently in the second half of the drive was because they had already been in a car for 250 miles plus, which is a long time. There behavior might of changed even with no music just from driving that long and starting to feel tired, drowsy, or just wanting to get the dam drive over with, who knows. By the way, the Ray Charles song that seemed to cause a problem was “Hit The Road Jack”. I wonder if he was not blind would he have had a problem driving to his own song. IamJOE357


Auto:(Auto Show Pics) BMW M6 Gran Coupe

The look of this car came as no surprise at the auto show because we have seen pics of the ride for a couple months now, but this was the first time anyone has seen the real car in the flesh ( or metal, whichever you prefer). The M6 Coupe in my opinion was already one of the flyest rides on the road. But this M6 Gran coupe in 4 doors is crazy!! It has the same 4.4 liter V8 engine that the M6 coupe and the X5 have. The 560HP the motor spits helps it go from 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, which is the exact same speed as the M6 coupe and slightly faster than the X5, with a top speed of 155mph. There was some disagreement about the love/hate relationship with the rims, but I love the look of the wheels that the car is sitting on. They should be hitting U.S. dealers right around the beginning of summer. Hopefully by then I am making Bill Gates money so I can actually afford to push this down the road. Check the gallery.

Auto:(Auto Show Pics) You’ve Never Heard Of This Car…But You Should!!

At first glance it looks like a regular Fisker Karma right? You couldn’t be more wrong. On the surface, yes , it is absolutely a Fisker Karma, but that is where it ends. VL Automotive created their version of the Karma, and dubbed it “Destino”. Everything under the hood has been replaced. There is a monster super charged, V8 engine directly from the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 that spits out a scary 638HP. There is a version with a manual transmission as well. Start saving your pennies though because when this car does hit the market, it is going to be priced around $180,000. Still if your a car lover this would a car you can dream of. Check the gallery above for pics from the auto show. IamJOE357
