Car of the Year

Motor Trend has named its car of the year.

The 2010 Ford Fusion won the honors.

Not a bad choice if you ask me, but we will see when we make our own selection for car of the year, and most ridiculous car of the year later on this year during Motor Lane's Blog awards.

Return

Well after a long hiatus where i had to deal with a lot of different things going on, i can finally rededicate some time to this blog.

First of let me start by giving you a run down of some things going on in the auto world.

Here is the 2010 Hot Rod Power Tour Schedule

2010 HOT ROD Power Tour Dates & Cities

Saturday June 5, Iowa Speedway, Newton, IA

Sunday June 6, Springfield, IL

Monday June 7, DuQuoin, IL

Tuesday June 8, Bowling Green, KY

Wednesday June 9, Chattanooga, TN

Thursday June 10, Birmingham, AL

Friday June 11, Mobile, AL

This is a great event and a must for anyone interested in classic cars. I went last year and had a blast, and hope to go again this year and provide some live updates from the Tour.

In the News segment:

• Recently it was announced that GM lost 1.2 Billion in the third quarter, better than last year, but not great. They also announced that they will begin to repay their loans at the end of this year/beginning of next year.
• Hummer announced that they are working on all new H4 and H5 variants, with the possibility of electric or hybrid vehicles.
• Toyota will more than likely be fixing/replacing somewhere around 4 million accelerator pedals because of a problem causing unintended acceleration that might have even resulted in deaths.
• Yesterday Senator John McCain came out publicly and said that he thinks that Chrysler won't survive. I would say a lot of Chrysler workers have to feel better knowing he isnt the man making decisions, and i would think that there is a man in France who would disagree with McCain, and his name is Marchionne.

Thats all for now, but i will try and update more later today.

Ridiculous Car of the Day!

Here is Today's Ridiculous Car of the Day!

It is a picture of a 1958 Pontiac Safari. A pretty sweet car for its time. I love the look of the 58 Pontiac's and you've got to love the 50's wagon look.

Ridiculous Car of the Day!

Here is today's car of the Day! Its a classic 70's Camaro with an LS2 v8 in it out of a new GTO. It was truly a striking car, and looked beautiful in person.

Sorry it has been almost a week since i have posted, i have been really busy with work and other things so this was my first chance to get one here.
