It feels as though it’s been far too long since we’ve seen Jerry Seinfeld being funny. In fact, ever since “Seinfeld” ended back in 1998, it seems as though America’s favorite comedian has seemingly vanished. Now however it seems Mr. Jerry is back shilling for Acura and their upcoming NSX super car, which is actually quite amazing since he’s so closely associated with Porsche (he owns like 50 of them). Regardless though it’s just nice to see Jerry back in action doing what he does best – making people laugh.

Synergy. This is what happens when two things meet, compliment each other and then prosper from their joint relationship. AMG and Ducati are two powerhouse name brands in the world of performance. And even though one rides on four wheels and the other on two, that makes no difference because their message is exactly the same. Sex, speed and performance. The following video takes us on a behind the scenes look at the C 63 AMG Coupé photo shoot. That means a blonde clad in a full leather body suit, a wicked white Mercedes-Benz C 63 AMG Coupé and a camera crew that’s bringing out the best in both of them.

There are some commercials that make you giggle, others that wow you, and yet others that simply get it right and cover all of the above. This is Toyota’s spot for their new “reinvented” 2012 Camry that will air during this weekend’s Super Bowl and in my opinion they hit it clean out of the park. By the way, I’m totally digging the reinvented couch – female version of course! Oh, and the baby time machine it bitching as well.

In the annals of modern hot-rod design there is no question that Chip Foose is amongst the best in the business. His cars have been featured on television, in magazines, online and at some of the greatest car shows around the world. However, before Foose got into hot-rods he was, get this, a Volkswagen guy. That’s right, he drove a 1985 MkII Golf GTI, a car which he says, was one of his favorites and the car that provided him with much of his early inspiration. I suppose it should come as no surprise as the VW Golf, like the Porsche 911, is one of those rare automobiles that has simply evolved over time. Through the years it’s gotten better and better, and like Chip Foose himself, it’s never lost any of the emotion that the original one set forth all those years ago.

Everyone has reasons as to why they’re drawn to the automobile they drive. For some it comes down to money, for others it’s passion and yet for others it’s the simple fact that they’re car is an extension of their personality. Remember that buying a car is an emotional decision, not a rational one which means that regardless if you buy a base Kia or the top of the line Ferrari, you’re emotions, in one way or another lead you to that decision. Personally, I look at cars everyday and am constantly thinking of what I’ll purchase next. Now granted, most of my thoughts are pipe dreams, but that doesn’t change the fact if your car doesn’t resonate with you on an internal level, well then, there’s probably something wrong with you.

It’s no secret that Cadillac has a lot riding on their new ATS sports sedan. I mean let’s face it, if you come out saying your going to best the BMW 3-series well then, you’ve really got your work cut out for you. Set to air on Super Bowl Sunday Cadillac is touting the fact that the ATS was developed at the Nürburgring, that wonderful track in Germany that’s in the wet dreams of every automotive enthusiast. We know that the ATS will have a variety of engines ranging from a 2.0L turbo-four, to a 3.6L V6, to a (we hope) 470 hp V8, but will these power plants be enough to topple one of the greatest small sedans ever? We’ll soon find out I suppose, we’ll soon find out…

26 years ago a movie directed by John Hughes changed the way kids around the world cut school. It was titled “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and starred Matthew Broderick as the world’s greatest middle finger to high school faculty everywhere. Almost three decades have gone by and thanks to Honda we now find out that not only has Ferris grown up, but he drives a new Honda CR-V. Now sure it’s a far cry from Cameron’s Dad’s Ferrari, and while some may say that Ferris has sold out, let me be the first to say that we’re just happy he’s back.

We never really know where inspiration comes from do we? For some it can stem from a certain experience, for others a chance meeting with an individual, yet for others, like fashion designer Donwan Harrell, it stems from something as simple as American muscle cars. The iconic shapes that Detroit designers hatched in the late 1960′s are some of the most amazing that the automotive world had ever seen. Thankfully Donwan Harrell, founder of PRPS Jeans knows a thing or two about muscle cars because believe it or not, he’s actually captured the essence of our big-block bad boys by using denim and some amazing imagination.

AWESOME find Ralf!!

Well it’s Superbowl time again and with that comes big money being spent on advertising. Thankfully car companies are some of the biggest spenders, which means that at days end, it’s a safe bet that we’re going to be entertained. Audi is taking the “let’s make fun of Hollywood” approach by poking a little fun at the Twilight movies and I have to say that their new add is pretty damn funny. It’s just a shame those daylight headlights of theirs don’t work on normal people as well as vampires. Oh well, here’s to hoping!
