Product Placement - Iron Man and Audi

Never has corporate synergy looked so good as it does with this newest Audi commercial for the new R8 model.

The coupe looks unbelievably sweet and the best part is that the :30 second ad totally gloms off of the upcoming Iron Man movie and its lead actor, Robert Downey Jr. Not only does it make me want to watch the movie right now but I'm not trying to stave off the need to forget about saving for the kids' college education and go car shopping for the new R8. I mean, they can get scholarships and student loans, right?

2007 New Models #15 of 36 - 1966 TV Series Batmobile

I picked this baby up at a KB toys in Foley, AL for just under $1.50 and it was well worth it. Say what you will about the TV Series (and believe me, I have - the words "The Bat Batman" come to mind), the only cool thing on the show was the car. As the Chris O'Donnell version of Robin said, "Chicks dig the car." He ain't lying, folks.

Gotta Get Back in Time

Michael Stravato/Associated Press

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this little nugget that came from the Associated Press in today's edition of the mighty PNJ. The DeLorean, long a subject of interest with yours truly, is rising like a fiery Phoenix from John DeLorean's coke-filled ashes. It appears that some guy in east Texas named Stephen Wynne has bought up all of the remaining DeLorean parts and is reconstructing a run of approximately 500 new cars at a price of $57,500, which is more than fair for a car of this stature and look. As if you couldn't tell, I'm as giddy as a naughty schoolgirl about this new development and quite possibly as you read this, I am persuading the house accountant that a family road trip to Humble, Texas or Bonita Springs, FL has to be made to secure this midlife crisis vehicle ten years early.
