Fans of Michigan son Iggy Pop know the innuendo of the lyrics from the song Pumping for Jill. He might mention “the gas station where I work,” but he’s not talking about work. In an odd flip of reality, a 34-year old woman was arrested on prostitution charges after she accepted a $100 gas card in return for offering a man sex. The man was charged with promoting prostitution.

Chrysler has been hurting lately, with plans to close at least its St. Louis truck plant, halting and/or reducing some minivan and truck production. Of course, this isn’t the first time Chrysler has had problems. They went through some trying times back in the K-car days. Those cars were relatively efficient at the time but none too sexy, and had other problems.

Still Chrysler lived through it - does anyone remember who bailed them out? Despite their problems, they’re part of the U.S. auto industry and it’d be a shame - economically - if the company went under. I’m not just saying that because I currently have a Dodge Caliber - my first domestic ever - though the videos like the one below worry me.

Two of the greatest supercars of all time face off on the same track and the Ford GT barely comes out on top. Pretty impressive for the Nissan GT-R considering the fact that it is less than half the price of the Ford GT.

Admittedly, the Ford GT kicks the Nissan GT-R’s ass when it comes to body design. But the Nissan GT-R arguably has the more impressive, trend-setting technology.

In my mind, this is more evidence of the Nissan GT-R’s greatness. With highly optimized technology, it managed to maximize its 3.8L V6 engine, 480hp and 193 max top speed and hold its own against the Ford GT’s higher specs.

This guy is just plain crazy. But the video is cool as hell.
