The Batista family has paid the funeral expenses for Pereira.

I just grabbed this off the net and noticed the CO plates after-the-fact, it's just a coincidence. The women like this in CO aren't in to me, sadly. If I'm ever hit on it is invariably some blonde from Aspen in a Range Rover. Seriously. I've always found that amazing because I slop around in second-hand clothes…

One Ferrari that deserves to burn.

You were looking at the truck? :)

"Hot" has as many definitions as there are people. If I see a cowgirl exiting a 4X4 pickup I'll usually always try to catch a glimpse. Not every one is s "10", but I'm usually less likely to be disappointed than with any other vehicle. Nothing like a tall, attractive cowgirl in tight jeans and boots. Add to that…

5th Gear. Ray, that whole Ford/GM Super Bowl ad deal, to my mind, was much more of a kerfuffle than a brouhaha. I'll trust your judgement on this since you're closer to the industry.

My favorite true porta-potty story: I was at a gas station and this guy has a dually pickup with a gooseneck loaded with porta-potties. The sign on the truck named some motion picture support company. He glanced over at me and just for small talk I said something pleasant about the motion picture industry. He got…

Seems to be Putin on the Ritz in this pic.

I think they found the Audi issue was along the same lines as my aunt's.

Isn't it being sold as "art" rather than a vehicle? That might make a difference with the winning bidder's HOA.

1st Gear. Unintended acceleration has been around for years. My father's twin sister experienced it clear back in 1978 when she backed her new Chrysler out of the garage, put the car in "drive", took off and hit a tree. She also had her foot on the accelerator pedal.

In the early 60's, a childhood friend had a 1957 Desoto Firesweep sedan that his folks gave him. It was in nice shape, but needed work now and then. Greg found a 1957 Desoto Adventurer convertible at a used car lot, rough but running and complete, bought it and drove it home; It was parked behind the garage for…

Driving 200mph in 120 degree heat, what could possibly go wrong?

I've never been attracted to women with foreign accents and I really don't know why. I guess these women are foreign, for all I know they flew them in from LA. If that's the case then there were some really hot women (none who would give me the time of day) working the show.

Sorry to hear that you and Matt are having family emergencies, Ray. Best wishes to both of you.

I live in a condo and can't figure out where to put a charging station, this is the only thing keeping me from getting a Volt.

4th Gear. I love cars, history and old building but, it's time for the Packard plant to come down. This facility has been the poster building for the ails of Detroit for years, now it's time for the site to signal Detroit's rebirth. Hell, build a Packard Memorial Fountain on the site and then look to the future.

George Barris did do Davey Jones' breast enhancements however. In all fairness, they were both drunk and it seems fun at the time.

RIP Minnie, it sounds like you lived a good life.

No, but they were both boxy and used the ribbed quarter panels.
