Local Motors Rally Fighter

cdf_header_template-1Well it has happened.  A crowd sourced designed car in the flesh that actually looks pretty good.  This is an early image of the Local Motors Rally Fighter before getting loaded for a trip to SEMA in Vegas .  The official unveiling is this week.  Head over to the Local Motors build section and see the development of this baja ready vehicle.

Sadly we won’t be at SEMA this year to check out all the details. So it will be interesting to hear the comments from the public seeing this vehicle for the first time.  How do you think it will be received?   Should the OEM’s be worried?  More news to come when the press release is announced.

Congratulations to Sangho Kim and the Local Motors team for their first newborn!

Pumpkin Bashing!!

What is better than pumpkin bashing and monster trucks?  Not a whole lot, except for some female anatomy.  Dennis Andersons’  Grave Digger was asked to come on the Conan O’Brien Show and smash what looks to be a 500 pound pumpkin.  What is better than that?

Conan has been doing some great car related shorts (possibly to compete with Leno’s car interest).  His recent take on the new Taurus SHO compared to his own 1992 SHO was pretty entertaining.  Not informative in any way, but entertaining.  I am beginning to have a new appreciation for Conan.

Check out the video below of a 5 ton truck pouncing on an innocent pumpkin.  Could you imagine smashing pumpkins, tearing up yards on devils night with this truck.  That would be killer!
