Snoop Dog’s Security and Big Slice Sporting a Smart ForTwo

A while ago we brought you Redman sporting his new smart ForTwo. Well apparently it’s catching on, gone are the days of Jet Black Raven Escalades with 22 inch rims and much bling. The ForTwo is the new pimp-mobile.

Check out Big Slice and Snoop Dog’s security man riding in a ForTwo:

If you don’t know who Big Slice is, he’s Snoop Dog’s personal car mechanic/pimpifyer. It must be nice to have a personal car man on call 24/7. It’s good to be the king.

Check out the video:

New York 2008: Saleens Latest SuperCar the S5S Raptor Shines Beneath the Lights

The S5S Raptor is the latest supercar concept to come from the designers at Saleen and it is sure to stop most auto enthusiasts in their tracks at this years New York Auto Show. The first thought that comes to mind is that Saleen must have lured over some Hot Wheels designers to come work in their design department. The look of the S5S Raptor has toy written all over it, but this conceptual gem is a toy aimed at a completely different crowd.  Plus, instead of arriving in a cardboard and plastic box for about $3 this super toy would run up to $185,000.  …I think the kid in me just fainted.

Following in the lead of some Le Mans racing teams and some other rare concept supercars the Saleen S5S Raptor runs on ethanol fuel. The bio-fuel allows them to avoid the high-octane blends while giving the supercar a slightly Green flavor. And if the S5S Raptor makes it into production in the two years Saleen said it would take I am sure the well connected supercar aficionado on the East Coast would be able to truck in that ever elusive bio-fuel.

The S5S Raptor is driven by a 5.0 liter twin-screw supercharged engine producing 650-hp and 630-ft lbs of torque. That is sufficient power to give the Raptor a top speed of 200 mph and a 0-to-60 time of 3.2 seconds. As the Official Press Release says below the S5S Raptor is “mean and clean” with its road prowess and clean burning ethanol fuel.

There are sure to be complaints and comparisons on the S5S Raptors design elements as many critical observers of the supercar class typically do. So here is your chance to be heard as Saleen is looking for the media and general publics response to their S5S Raptor Concept to determine if it will make it into production. The vote coming out of these offices is a firm “yes,” but then again the one yes-vote is the best these offices can do. The 185,000 dollar votes it would take to own one is not quite in our possession yet.

Check out the Full Gallery of photos, video and the official Saleen Press Release for more details on the S5S Raptor Concept. (more…)

Video:BMW 318i General Lee takes a little leaping tribute

If the sight of this miniature Dukes of Hazzard General Lee with matching paint scheme on a BMW 318i does not stir up a little grin maybe watching its tribute leap will cause you to crack a smile.

While we do not recommend anyone attempting this with a car that they cherish… or own… we must commend these lads for the sheer boneheadedness of this stunt. However the boys at Top Gear may have a few angry words for you for stealing what may have been one of their future stunts.

Enjoy the video… as brief as it is.

California Bans Driving & Talking on Cell Phones

On July 1, 2008 California will be the 5th state to pass a law that bans the use of any hand-held mobile device while driving your car or face a $50 fine the first time they’re caught using a cell phone while behind the wheel. That’s right, one more law for your to secretly brake while driving.

But what’s a ban for drivers is a boom for Bluetooth technology providers like Parrot who offer hands-free car kits.
