Coming up at the Bristol Motor Speedway is a Mustang challenge, the new 2011 Mustang V6 is trying to do 1,000 laps on one tank of gas. Ford will try to accomplish this feat with a team of Ford engineers and celebrities who will take turns driving the 1,000 laps around the half-mile NASCAR track. It sounds like a really fun challenger, I really hope they accomplish their goal. Ford is also wanting fans to get involved in the 1,000-Lap Challenge by entering a national sweepstakes to guess the total number of complete laps the Mustang will manage around Bristol Motor Speedway.

This has to be one of the most insane car videos I have ever seen on the web. This woman somehow ended up on the front bumper of a 18 wheeler semi truck. Not sure how it happened and they don't really tell us how it happened in the video. I just can't believe the semi truck driver couldn't tell, of course he probably couldn't look down and see the car int front of him. But you would think he could smell the tires burning and feel the drag it put on the semi truck. Supposedly there's an investigation going on, I wonder if the truck driver was drunk? The woman was being pushed at 60mph speeds and this happened for a long time other drivers said, they tried signaling the truck but they couldn't grab his attention. Doesn't this remind you of Steven Spielberg's action classic car movie Duel with Dennis Weaver, man that woman must of been terrified!

This is pretty wild, the actual 1970 Dodge Charger from the first Fast and Furious movie has made it on the Las Vegas Craigslist. It's said to be the Doge Charger used after it hit the semi truck and flipped over. The damage doesn't look too bad, I best some gear head will be able to fix this baby up. It's just too bad that the blower is fake, but believe it or not the Charger has a 440 engine and it still runs. This is the whole description from the ad, I wonder who bought the car?

This world famous Iconic movie stunt car comes with a certificate of authenticity from a world famous Hollywood CA.USA car builder. (The car has been kept in original movie cond. except for fixing the right front suspension to move it from place to place). Buy the “best charger” to own from the Ist movie in the series ,the one that everyone remembers! Has a prop blower on the hood & a 440 mopar engine that still runs exc.. Fast & Furious 4 comes out on april 3rd 2009! I also have for sale several items of the wardrobe & props from the same blockbuster movie including Vin Diesel’s & Paul Walker’s (Iconic)bloody outfits,the title Paul walker holds up to race his car with,the table top from the diner that has a picture of the charger & a picture of Vin Diesel’s fictional dad on it,Vin Diesel’s black (bandit) jacket,Paul Walker’s & Mia’s leather jackets,several of Vin Diesel’s & Paul Walker’s clothes including Vin’s black boots & Paul’s tennis shoes,Ja Rule’s watch ,Mia’s hip hugger jeans,the girl in the ferrari (red dress),etc. All of these items were screen worn or screen used.Each item has a certificate of authenticity from Premiere Props(The company that Universal Studios contracted to sell F&F1 props!) (I also have for sell the 1970 dodge charger(mc’rig)used for close up shots of Vin Diesel). All of these items would be great for a private collection or a museum.

Man I bet this guy is going to receive calls forever, he's probably going to have to change his phone number.  I didn't post the phone number because I want to respect his privacy.  Check the Las Vegas Craigslist section to see if the 1970 Dodge Charger is still up fro sale.
