50 Most Famous Cars
I definitely like this list of 50 famous cars, they mostly came from the movies and TV series I guess, so I can still remember most of the entries that were shown decades ago.
Shelby Mustang
Where It’s From: Gone in 60 Seconds [2000] film
Claim to Fame:Stuck behind a traffic jam and desperate to outrun the rapidly advancing 5-0, Memphis [Nicolas Cage] throws “Eleanor” and her 428 cubic-inch, 360-hp engine in drive and using a lowered towtruck flat bed as a ramp, launches her 30 feet up in the air. Completely airborne, Memphis flies Eleanor over 15 feet of damaged cars and rescue workers – landing intact on the other side, cocked, locked, and ready to rock

Honda accord ad team could be on meth
This 90-second ad allegedly costs over six mil dollars to make and took over 600 takes and retakes. No CGI was used just pure human calculated precision. It also won many awards.
Seriously, this commercial kicks ass. Not serious, you’ve got to ask yourself why the hell do you spend over six mil on an ad? The Blair Witch Project costs just below 30 thousand dollars to make and if you include the rights Artisan doled out for the rights to show it at Sundance it just goes a notch the one mil mark, Six mil is a lot of money for pure precision I say. Then again, six mil on meth is just so uber costly. The guys err retards or meth-heads I know can do this at less than one percent of the cost and that’s meth included.
UPDATE: OK, I stand corrected, I asked the meth-heads and they’re asking that I up the ante by two percent, according to them, it’ll take them a week or two to replicate this ad plus they have to be on meth all the time and they might be in danger of losing their sanity. Geez! Those freaks! As if they’re still sane. When I was talking to John (real name withheld upon request) his brother Jim, as of this writing, was rewriting the bible.
UPDATE: Jim has rewritten the bible!
Thanks to riain for the tip and the permission who I still owe a Skyliner before Tiesto arrives here again at Manila. I’ll try to make good on that promise bro, I just have to break out of this prison called Tambayan.ph. You see those sweatshops? Those are haven compared to the cramped-up place they detain us to write posts like this. We eat once every two days, that is if we post at least one topic per day. Do the math. See the authors list on the right column? Those below 10 posts might have died of hunger already. I wouldn’t know because we’re locked-up in single-holding cells.
EDIT/ADD: Damn! This is a very long post. I know Ryman is a good sport and he won’t starve me or kill me after I revealed Tambayan’s secret.

Nissan always brings out the power of their cars in the Skyline and GT-R series. Here is a first look at the new GT500 GT-R from Nissan. It will debut at the 2008 SuperGT championship at Suzuka this March 16.
Many of the teams competing in the championship are bringing in their machines to test out the circuit, modify their set ups, and benchmark the overall performance. The GT500 will try to take the trophy home after Honda’s victory last year.
