2007-01-24 16:01:00
Boating Magazine has selected Pursuit’s Ls 345 Drummond Runner as the Boat Of The Year. The magazine’s editor-in-chief Randy Steele said in a statement that the editorial decision was unanimous and that the editors took only five minutes to decide. “This boat is so ground-breaking and so trend-setting that the choice was completely unanimous,” said Steele. “Usually it takes days for our editors to come to an agreement. This year, the decision was made in five minutes.”What sets the 345 Drummond Runner apart from the other 150 boats that the Boating Tech Team tested, was its cockpit. A free-standing island (much like those found in many home kitchens) sits halfway in the forward end of the cockpit. This center-island cockpit design frees up space in the main cabin, essentially making the 34.5 inch cabin seem as spacious as one found on a 40 footer. Other cockpit features include a 2.6 cubic foot refrigerator, stainless-steel microwave, single-burne...

In Russia, Sights See YOU! Moscow by Car, By Night
2007-01-24 13:01:00
Flush with the joy of discovering M&W Powersports, we decided to have more fun with Google searches. We tried a few things, prefacing them with “cars” including “Jesus and Tequila,” which kicked off a short litany of song titles from the Minutemen’s Double Nickles on the Dime. Finally we hit pay dirt with this bit from the Real Russia Project that describes a night drive through Moscow wherin our narrator Yuri ends up thrilledM with the lack of traffic. The keyword string? “Three Car Jam.” Now take five, D. – Davey G. Johnson Night Drive through Moscow: Where Tourists Go [The Real Russia Project] Related:In Soviet Russia, Art Car Photographs YOU!

The Official Car Pundit Drinking Game: And Now For Something Completely Dif
2007-01-24 10:01:00
Our friends obsessed with all things inside the beltway are having a bit of a drinking game this evening for President Bush’s whatever-numbered State Of The Union, aka the SOTU. Though we’d prefer everyone STFU on both sides of the aisle, we do relish our blood brother/sister’s attempt at making it fun with a little bit of a drinking game. Since I know all of you have some experience in these things, and since we’ve already told you there’s going to be some auto-specific content involved that may or may not involve Mr. Fusion, head on over to Wonkette and help out by giving them the old college try. And by “old college try” I of course mean for you to get piss drunk, stumble to the dorms with a fat girl, and wake up to a horrible mistakehelp make up some new rules and then play along. – Ray Wert SOTU Drink ing Game Is Juiced Up Beyond Belief!

FIA Not Down With the Booger Sugar
2007-01-24 10:01:00
Apparently the FIA has something against Colombia and its special brand of marching powder. While in pre-European Mexico, it was just fine for Montezuma to lay on the shore with his coca leaves and pearls, it is apparently not — in the sport-arbiting organization’s estimation — okay to drive a racing car with traces of cocaine in one’s system, something that Luca Moro found out the hard way after testing positive post-Spa 24 Hours. We too, are against pre-race coke snorting. Instead, we think the FIA should mandate that F1 drivers take a big hit of the crack rock out of a shattered Xenon bulb on the starting line and then run on a World of Outlaws-spec dirt track for 10 laps. Now that would put the energy back into Formula One! Bill France, Jr., you steal this idea and you’re through. Through y’hear? – Davey G.

Now That’s Powerful Fun! M&W Powersports: Where the Wind Comes Sw
2007-01-24 09:01:00
Do not ask us why, because we honestly don’t know, but we decided to see what the words “Kawasaki” and “boat” looked like together in our Google Search field. Actually, we do know why. Now and then, we get obsessed with the word “boat.” It’s surprisingly fun to say, for such an inconsequential little monosyllabic noun/sometimes verb. So we thought, what other word is really fun to say, preferably a brand. “Kawasaki” came to mind. Say it, savor it. After typing out the words together and mashing play, we found a reult that read, “Oklahoma, Can-Am, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Sea-Doo Sport Boats, Schwinn…” And well, anything that puts Oklahoma, Can-Am and Schwinn in the same line has gotta be our kinda place. Then we heard the theme song… – Davey G. Johnson M&W Power sports Related:CHMSL Not Bruce Enough For You? Try Winky The Cat! [Internal] More: click here…

I’m Your Pusher Woman: Kate Moss Gets Dirty, Pushes C-Class Out Of Mu
2007-01-24 06:01:00
The waif of a model usually in search of a pusher became a pusher herself yesterday — helping a friend push n’ pull a Mercedes out of the mud on the super-duper-model’s £2million Oxfordshire estate. We don’t know why Kate didn’t just call for backup from the local towing service, unless the Virgin Media money’s already been used up on yay. Or maybe she just didn’t mind getting down n’ dirty to help a pal out. Hell if we know the real reason, and although we don’t know as much about modeling as Ms. Moss, what we do know is you shouldn’t park a Mercedes C-Class — or really any car with standard tires — in a mud field. Plus, isn’t she preggers or something?

Jalopnik Does Math Good: A Corny State Of The Union Address?
2007-01-24 05:01:00
Ok, so here’s what we know. Earlier today FoMoCo issues a press release tauting six states receiving a test fleet of new E85-fueled hybrid Escape SUV’s (gallery below). On top of that news, but wholly unrelated, there appears to be some kind of a run in stocks of companies involved in E85 production today. We’ve also heard unconfirmed reports the ethanol lobby plans to open up a bigger office in Washington, DC. How can these seemingly unrelated things all be happening today? To explain, let’s put it together into a handy math equation below the jump. galleryPost(’EscapeE85Hybrid’ , 4, ‘Ford Escape E85 Hybrid Gallery’); Ford press release On E85 Hybrids+run in E85 stocks+corn lobby opening up new lobbying office=Bush plans to announce the continuation and expansion of an ethanol policy in tonight’s State of the Union address.

The Joy of the T-Body!
2007-01-24 05:01:00
We don’t care if it sucked. We don’t care if it seemed dumb to call a car a “Chevette” that wasn’t branded as a Chevrolet. We don’t care if it was even briefly sold as a “Buick-Opel.” What we care about is that is that it was a rear-drive hatchback that could be had for cheap, and in Chevrolet guise was actually sold with a trim level called “Scooter,” which did not include a back seat. The GM T-platform exhibited both what made GM completely dominant and what kicked them into the cesspool. And yes boys in girls there was a Camino variant, the Brazillian Chevy 500, one of which we must acquire posthaste. – Davey G.

Lightweight Flying Hippie Car
2007-01-24 04:01:00
Driving a compact and economical French automobile is all fine and good, until you stray onto an airport runway and into the full thrust of a 747 jet engine. Hammond commentary and Citroen 2CV disintegration hilarity ensue. To be fair to the 2CV, not even Steve McGarrett’s best Five-O hair style could stand up to this kind of jet age punishment. – Mike Bumbeck Related:2CV Nautiques!; More 2CVentertainment [Internal] More: click here…

The Truth About the Joys of Owning a Landie
2007-01-24 04:01:00
We ran across this witty, wistful look at the joys and terrors of owning a Land Rover last night over at TTAC, and it’s simply one of the most fun bits of auto writing we’ve happened a upon in quite a while. With lines like, “The Land Rover’s aerodynamics-are-a-bloody-Jerry-plot design gave it the drag-coefficient of a 4′x8′ sheet of plywood. However, its simplicity meant that it could be taken apart like a huge Meccano set,” how can one go wrong? Click over and read at our behest. – Davey G. Johnson Land Rover! Land Rover!
