Do You Still Listen to CDs in Your Car?
According to The Detroit Free Press, manufacturers are looking forward to ditching CD players since they are heavy and take up so much valuable real estate. I still have tape decks in two cars of my three cars. My 2007 Mustang GT has a CD changer, but I prefer to just plug my phone into the aux and stream Pandora or Spotify. How about you?

Every Gear-Shift In All Five Fast and Furious Movies
As pointless compilations go, this is right up there with my other favorite: every weird sound Krang ever made in the original TMNT series. This one might be a little more relevant to car enthusiasts, though. Hit the jump for the video! [more]

For a moment I thought this was the annual Jalopy Showdown, until I noticed that the cars were all right-hand drive. Turns out they like running rods in the dirt in New Zealand, too! Hit the jump to enjoy, via ThatWillBuffOut.

I think the dirt seems like a more natural surface for rat rods. Not bashing them, just seems that way if you're gonna race. not sure why

The Hayride in England is also similar with dirt track racin' and I think they have a hill climb too. I'll be at the Jalopy Showdown again this year with my Model A. Been going since 2006 and it's always a blast. Last year the weather was nice and the field was packed.

That's really cool. I'd love to see these races in person, but would absolutely hate to see someone's baby get wadded up.
