Somewhere in the menus for the fancy in-dash touchscreen on our Buick Regal GS test car, I noticed a utility for uploading and viewing photos. What? Why would you ever have to, or want to, flip through pics while you're trying to drive?? And the video-chat functionality in the photo below is just chilling. Because yeah, that's what I want the dumbass teenager in the hulking SUV next to me to be doing while he's trying to change lanes in traffic. U.S. Transport Secretary Ray LaHood would seem to agree, as he's seeking "voluntary" and self-imposed restrictions on automakers to cut out the dangerously distracting feature-clutter from their in-car infotainment systems. And naturally, the automakers, who are quite attached to the do-dads and have spent a fortune developing and marketing them, are pushing back. Who do you suppose will prevail? To what extent should distracting touchscreen gagetry be regulated, and how far should they go in enforcing it? Full story at Carscoop.
Could it be that they've actually found a way to improve the coolness of an AT-AT Imperial Walker? I'd say so. I mean, take the best retro bus on the planet and give it legs. What do you have? It's almost unspeakable. And the rebels are taking old Walkers and re-modding them for a counter-assault, and vader is gonna poop his matte black shorts...
Stanceworks arranged to have this bagged Lamborghini Murcielago shipped all the way from Japan so they could do the fitment on it--using those HRE Vintage Series wheels Rob told you about the other day--and then take it for a sweet photo shoot in Los Angeles. What do you think of the look? More views below the jump, full gallery at Stanceworks.

Our thoughts are with everyone who got caught up in the series of tornadoes that rampaged through the South during the past few days. I'm a Californian who has been through a few earthquakes, including the Loma Prieta quake in 1989. But having lived in Iowa for two years, I can say that there is nothing quite as chilling as a tornado. I've spent a fair amount of time crouched in a cellar listening to the radio, and have witnessed firsthand the destruction they can bring. So here's to the guy who managed to drive his Mustang out of the Tuscaloosa rubble. Hope everyone can get their lives, towns and rides rebuilt soon. Video after the jump. Via WFAA.com
AD-ROCK, i bet the V-tec kicked in yo would still work in a honda, i dont understand why every 1 hates hondas, they are made to be EFFECTIVE with low mpg and still have nice power. American muscle doesnt just spend alot... they WASTE a damn lot of gas.
judging from the ghettofabulous walmart rims this guys rockin, the engine already sounded like that before the tornado. AD-ROCK would you care to explain to me why an h22a makes almost as much horsepower as a foxbody 5.0 with half the cylinders?
What makes it so bad is that its a soft top but the windsheild and the whole front end is smashed but top is perfectly fine minus all the diffrent house pieces on top ofcourse....and I'm in Alabama so I no pun intended
I'm with AD-ROCK, just took an '07 Civic on a 600 km trip and a mosquito somehow got past the air filter and into the sensor... shut the car down at the 440 km mark. If a mosquito can beat up a Honda I'm seriously doubting it would move after that... just sayin
