The Fast and the Furious series is back again, but this time around it actually includes most, if not all, the characters from the original. You remember Dom Torretto, right? That psycho yet super cool bald dude played by none other than
Vin Diesel and, of course, Brian the undercover cop played by
Paul Walker, or in simpler terms "the blonde dude that all chicks pretty much dig"? Also returning is

Michelle Rodriquez who plays Toretto's mean streak girlfriend.
This time, however, it seems as though the actors are not the main stars...

The Tesla Roadster, which already is cruising on highways and streets, was designed specifically to allow electric car users a better performing vehicle.

GM parked a jet-like automobile in the Antique Auto Museum located in Hershey, Pennsylvania, for display to the public in October 2008. The new autos look very similar to military fighter jets and run on nearly the same turbine engine; the only difference is that these vehicles are meant for travel on the ground instead of the air.
The vehicles on display were the Firebird I, II, and III. All three vehicles were created by GM as early as the 1950's by GM's Allison Aircraft Division in Indianapolis. GM Vice President Charles McCuen (active in 1949) was interested in producing a...

Over the past decade many of the big auto companies have released retro mock-ups of their biggest car models. Some great examples are the new retro Mustangs, Chevy HHR, Chevy SSR, Chrysler 300, PT Cruiser, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Ford Thunderbird models. There are also a countless number of other newer autos designed with a complete old-school look. Probably the biggest new, and retro, automotive scheduled to hit the market is the modern Chevy Camaro. Plans to release the Camaro coupe sometime in spring 2009 are still active, even with GM's imminent closure on the horizon.
