If the claims made by the seller are to be believed, this gray 2006 HUMMER H2 currently up for grabs on eBay motors is owned by 2008 World Series champ and Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher, number 39 Brett Myers. Although eBay is notorious for harboring sellers with questionable integrity and a penchant for stretching the truth, photos of the interior reveal the letter “M” embroidered on the headrests as well as the number “39″ tastefully embossed into the headliner. As if that weren’t enough to verify the authenticity, this particular H2 was apparently equipped using genuine accessories from the “Professional Athlete With Money To Burn” aftermarket catalog.

As a Phillies fan who has heard that Meyers routinely double parks this rig so as to avoid rubbing door frames with the lower class, the ridiculous 22″ chrome Ion’s and 7″ TV monitors in the headrests not only thoroughly disgust me, but they also serve to confirm what I - as well as many other Phillies fans -already suspected: Brett Meyers is, indeed, a douchebag (Brad Lidge, on the other hand, is still my number one choice to father my first born).

During an apparently routine search through eBay for miniature toy cars (hey, I’m not judging: “Let he who is without an extensive eBay buying history cast the first stone”), Jalopnik et al stumbled upon a Hot Wheels model that is being hawked as a genuine replica of the new, 2010 Mustang. While it’s admittedly easy for anyone with access to a decent hobby store and plenty of free time on their hands to produce a pretty damn good replica, there’s reason to believe this particular 2010 Mustang Hot Wheels is legit. Aside from the fact that the toy car is a dead ringer for the 2010 Mustang renderings Jalopnik themselves created, the seller’s location indicates the mini horse is located in Malaysia - current home of the Mattel Hot Wheels production plant.

I am a Taurus fan and I always have been, especially of the SHO. I’m also a big fan of custom cars, but I’m not sure why anyone would mash an SHO and a Ford Ranger together.

Still, it’s been done, by some guy in Iowa who apparently needed the truck bed but loved his SHO engine too much to give it up.

According to the seller:

This is a very rare vehicle and to my knowledge there has never been another one made. The front end is a 1994 ford SHO taurus and the back end is that of a ford ranger. The car runs great and is a smooth ride. It has received 5 first places in 5 shows that it has been in. The only negatives are that it needs some minor fabrication work with the interior which I show in the pictures. It’s an awesome car to drive and is definitely an eye catcher!

The third 2010 Camaro SS to ever roll off the assembly line has been sold on eBay for an astounding $73,000, more than double the listed $30,995 MSRP. More than just an exercise in excess, the 2010 Camaro SS was auctioned on eBay as a General Motors-sanctioned fundraiser aimed at benefiting the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. The winning bidder, whose name was not announced, will be allowed to choose the color of his Camaro SS as well as request the addition of select factory installed accessories.

As the end of the world draws nigh, many Bronson-influenced, budding vigilantes like myself have been keeping a keen eye trained on military and police auctions, searching for that perfect post-apocalyptic vehicle with which to battle marauding bands of looters. The biggest difficulty us enterprising young gunslingers face, however, is the thorough “civilianization” most fleet vehicles undergo. By the time they hit the auction block, things like grill-mounted flame throwers and poison gas ejectors have already been removed and the only evidence of its former ass-kicking days are the few stray bullet holes in the A-pillar.

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is a 1985 USMC Humvee 6.2 Diesel, up for auction out of Seagoville, Texas. With only 20,000 original miles on the odometer and all of its tactical gear still operative, this Humvee is in fighting shape. In addition to a RT 524 Radio,Vic 1 Intercom and Trimble GPS that are all in standard working order, this ‘85 grunt-mobile also comes with more battle capacity than the Korean army. Although it’s difficult to distinguish from the photos, the Humvee comes with a fully-functioning (and in one case, new) machine gun turret, weapons tray, ammunition canister mounts, and smoke grenade launchers.

Working smoke grenade launchers. I assure you, I have never known a love as great as this.

Beating out a hot pink Stude and lime green HUMMER for the coveted title of our eBay Motors find of the day is a 1983 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit Roadster, “A Little Piece of Us Dies Inside Every time We Look At It” Edition. Deceptively poised as a convertible, this bagged Rolls comes permanently topless with approximately $60k worth of modifications and more yellow-gold plating than can be accurately conveyed using a simple hip-hop analogy. Although we mourn the defacement of what had the potential to be one hell of a resto project, we have to begrudgingly issue points for the superior custom craftsmanship.

Today, our eBay Motors Ride of the Day is a 1995 Volvo 850 Turbo Wagon, a pick which may or may not have been heavily influenced by the exclusive interests of certain editorial staff members…but that’s neither here nor there. This particular Turbo Brick hails from New Mexico and appears to be in relatively good cosmetic condition. Unfortunately, this particular Swedish Speed Demon has been involved in an accident and is now a salvage-title vehicle [oh, how our tender hearts weep]. The good news: it was repaired by a Volvo specialist, presumably to factory working order, and is barely broken in with only 144,000 miles on the odometer. Please, we request respectful silence as we bask in its glory.

We’re growing a little weary of constantly educating SUV and truck owners on the fine art of suitability, and our eBay Motors Ride of the Day perfectly illustrates why.

Even though we seriously doubt this rig as ever seen any off-road time [except for when it had to park on the grass at the Angry, Young & White Music Festival], we could handle the just-barely legal 14-inch off-roading lift. Unfortunately, the mods on this “show” HUMMER didn’t stop there and when we realized the interior has been wired to carry around 5,000 watts of power, we just threw our collective hands in the air and cracked open the flask we keep in our old hollowed-out Haynes repair manual.

Slow news day + cult classic = Friday’s Ride of the Day, a mint/lime green Chevrolet El Camino. From what we can see, the engine and all mechanical parts are stock, the only customizations made were aesthetic. Normally we’d come down pretty hard on the obvious lack of taste, but it’s an El Camino, what else do you want?

Bragging features on our eBay Motors Ride/Attention Whore of the Day include:

• Custom Ferrari-red paint
• Color-coordinated 18″ Assanti rims
• Front suicide doors
• Rear gullwing doors
• Aftermarket train horn mounted behind front grill
• Suede Interior headliner
• Snakeskin seat inserts
• In-dash TV/DVD/NAV system
• 4 headrest-mounted TV screens
• 50″ rear cylinder-mounted LCD TV screen

A train horn and fifty-inch LCD screen? Really?  Really.
We are speechless.
