We already know about the new V6’s 19 mile per gallon city and 31 mpg highway ratings from the EPA. On June 23, Ford will take a V6 Mustang to Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee and attempt to run over 1,000 laps on a single tank of gas

Posted on 03.21.2010 16:00 by Kirby Filed under: Porsche | video | car racing | Cars | Car News The 12 Hours of Sebring is set to kick-off this weekend and Porsche is doing more than its fair share in terms of car preparations in time for the start of the endurance race. This year’s Sebring race has a special meaning for the Stuttgart-based brand because this year marks the 50th anniversary of Hans Hermann’s triumphant Sebring win on-board a 1960 Porsche RS60. If Porsche is looking to repeat that hallmark performance – and defend their title in the process – they’re going to have some pretty stiff competition this year, most notably from series rival Corvette

Posted on 03.21.2010 15:00 by Kirby Filed under: BMW | video | Le Mans Series | BMW M3 | Cars | Car News The 2010 12 Hours of Sebring is already underway and BMW driver Dirk Muller already has already had enough drama to last him the entire weekend. The weekend started off on a high note after Muller set the fastest time in qualifying last Friday but because of some irregularities found on his BMW M3 , his best time was reneged and he was forced to sit all the way down to the 13th place on the GT2 grid. If that wasn’t enough, Muller ended up missing the recon laps before the start of the race because, earlier in the day, he ended up crashing his M3 into a wall.

But if you’re a strapping young bachelor who has an affinity for cars, then this should be the perfect couch to put in front of your HDTV, assuming of course you have the money to spend for it. This couch, by all extents and purposes, is far from your contemporary sofa
