ROAD TESTAMENT: Canadian F1 Road Trip. (Graphic)

Graphic, controversial and not quite what anyone was expecting, here’s a little video of our road trip to Montreal for F1 last week. Jason Thorgalsen and Josh Vietze join JF and I for this episode of The Road Testament.

ROAD TESTAMENT: Judging The 2010 Greenwich Concours D'Elegance.

The Road Testament goes to Greenwich, CT for the 2010 Concours D’Elegance, which means I dress up, JF dresses…like JF, we meet the supercool Michael Lindgren, and best guesses are made where knowledge is sought.

ROAD TESTAMENT: Team Polizei Enters Lemons!

Team Polizei is going to Lemons. To race.
TWO cars, if they let us, which sources say they will.
Here’s a teaser for what we’re doing.
More to follow.
MUCH more.

ROAD TESTAMENT: Does Mercedes STILL make Cars?

Yet another controversial Road Testament, and this time JF and I discuss what’s up with Mercedes…then (as in the then of the Gullwing & 6.9) vs. now (as in…everything they make now.) So…does Mercedes still make any Mercedes?

ROAD TESTAMENT: Is BMW The New GM?

The Road Testament moves back into my kitchen to answer a question it pains me – owner of three(!) 2000 E39 M5′s AND a 1987 M6 – to ask…

Is BMW the new GM?

Watch our most popular Road Testament ever to find out.

Anyone Else Notice The Shortage of Press Re: Gumball 3000 2010?

Anyone Else Notice The Shortage of Press Re: Gumball 3000 2010?  Ironically, I was really interested to see more coverage of the 2008 route through North Korea, which I was sorry to miss. Nothing since the 2004 route through Morocco sounded as crazy.

In any case, the 2010 Gumball goes global again, yet there’s barely any pre-coverage.

Jalopnik Calls ANOTHER Prius Hoax. Nice One.

Jalopnik is leading the way once again regarding another runaway Prius hoax. These just get in the way of Toyota resolving its real problems. As usual, the media blew it. Where are the talking heads who can see through these idiotic tales before the weeklong investigations?  I saw through these the instant I saw the “victims” explaining themselves.

Jalopnik's Matt Hardigree Cracks The Runaway Prius Story. All Other Media Should Bow Down.

Just read Matt Hardigree’s uniquely insightful coverage for yourself.

I’ve been saying this since February 25th.

Hardigree should get an award for this.

CNN Prius Video Title Contradicts Video = Proof of Media Suckage. But Matt Hardigree of Jalopnik Rocks.

CNN demonstrates its suckage yet again in this video…where CNN’s headline “Controversy rages over ‘Runaway Toyota’ story” totally contradicts their own video content, which clearly shows exactly what JF and I were saying in last week’s Road Testament. Shame on you, CNN. Your coverage of the Toyota Recall story sucks. And continues to.

Jalopnik wins for covering this sham better than anyone. Autoblog gets a close second. Everyone else should pay damages to Toyota.

Matt Hardigree of Jalopnik, U ROCK.

(Video after the jump…)

ROAD TESTAMENT: Alex Roy Calls Runaway Prius Driver Sikes Full of-

The runaway Prius Driver –  some guy by the name of Sykes, as in Jim Sykes – is full of…something.

And the media knows NOTHING about cars.

On this week’s Road Testament.
