Remember Rusty Slammington? Owner Mike Burroughs was an early adopter of in the stance scene with his chopped BMW 5 series that looked more WW2 P2 Mustang fighter than Munich family sedan. Rusty earned a life of his own on facebook though met at least a temporary demise in a garage fire.

We'll admit we're thoroughly addicted to playing Forza Motorsport 4 and driving is only half the fun. The other half is the creation of vinyl groups and livery designs that we've put up for sale on our FOURTITUDEoCOM Forza 4 store and in our Fourtitude car club within the game (friend us within the game and we'll add you to the club).

In addition to some of our current liveries such as the 2010 R15+ #9 Le Mans ...

Our buddy JF Musial dropped us a note today about a new project he's associated with. That's him on the right talking to Ice T's wife. We've gotten to know JF over the years at seemingly historic times, like commiserating together at the Audi Sport team paddock following Allan McNish's and then Mike Rockenfeller's spectacular crashes in Le Mans. You're likely familiar with JF in his work with ...

Poor Richard Dean Anderson. You do a hit show like his 1980s hit MacGyver where his character by the same name fixes nearly anything with something as simple as a paperclip or his trademark swiss army knife and you're subject to fix-it jokes for the rest of your life. So, when your car breaks down ...

Often compared to America's SEMA Show, the tuner-focused Essen Motor Show is really something more unto itself. Whereas the SEMA Show is really an industry only affair and with no day for a media push, Essen is there for the public, the car enthusiast and also there as a platform of PR for tuners... so yes, a day reserved for the media. Where you'd need to be a distributor to place an order ...

Given the two will share platform components, it's not been much of a surprise that Porsche continues to test prototypes of their upcoming Cajun crossover with Audi Q5 bodies. The Audi Q5 is in production and the site of a Q5 on public roads isn't exactly something special. Perhaps these mules go all but unnoticed most of the time... key terminology being "most of the time" since ...

By this time, we doubt Audi Sport engineer Leena Gade needs any introduction. As the first female engineer to win Le Mans (this year with the R18 TDI's momentous win), she's earned her place in the motorsport lexicon and the spotlight turned its way in her direction.

Audi of America has produced several video shorts ...
