AJ scoped it out, and noticed that the bug is not completely hiding the Mustang's front fender
Same exact setting as the bottom photo, and the Mustang is smaller than the VW so it's possible that the vw is photoshopped over the stang

This VW was photographed by Iris Antonio according to the sources of the photo I've found .. but like AJ pointed out, the but is a clever photoshop that didn't quite mask the Mustang

Thanks AJ! "The mustang fender top is still visible in the VW "photo".

Did you notice it's a right hand drive car? WTH?

It's not just me is it? The steering wheel sure looks to be in front of the short one.
Sorry for the lousy quality, but cell phone cameras still aren't as good at long distance shots through back windows as a camera

maybe these are just some new "thing" like the "Obey" photos of Andre the giant that were put up everywhere around San Diego

It has a unique hood ornament that isn't in the Hood Ornament ID Guide http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/hood-ornament-identifiaction-guide.html

Chris http://chrisoncars.com/ knew exactly what this was

Hi Jesse,
The mystery car on your blog is a ’39 Matford. The Matfords were a joint venture between French maker Mathis and Ford. They came with either V-8/60 or V-8/85 power. I think this one would’ve been a 60 car. There are photos of other Mathis cars that have a more ornate grille. Those probably got the 85s. How I know this shit, I have no idea.
Regards,
Chris

Hands free tire mounting! This isn't the only one on the market, but it was the first I've sever seen


This tire seat is comfortable too!

The yellow and red rims are interesting, I haven't seen any 2 spoke rim before... I wonder about the balance

The above was particularly impressive, good concept for a display




If you have balanced tires, like I have, you'll probably appreciate the full range of all the weights this company http://www.cnblueocean.com/ displayed. Myself, I'm impressed.


This is one bitchin display wall


The lever in the below photo has a nail welded to it, and any passerby gets to puncture the tire as many times as they want to prove to themselves how perfectly inflated the tire remains.





The news isn’t related to a new BMW, a new technology or anything similarly relevant to petrolheads. It’s related somewhat more to the detective novel types.

The Germans arrested a Munich worker which is suspected of theft. The thing is, it’s not the minor stuff like a couple of bolts missing.

BMW report that the arrested man may be behind a trafficking scheme involving an employee at a car-parts supplier. The counterpart was also arrested by the Munich police.

So, at the end of the day, what was he arrested for?

Well, apparently, the BMW worker may have caused losses of about 3 million euros to the company. That’s about 4 million dollars in stolen BMW parts

.

The parts favored by the two were the seats that BMW fits to their cars but that hasn’t stopped them from helping themselves to other types of fittings.

I should state that the BMW worker and his “friend” haven’t yet been convicted but the evidence is building up against them since October. Police findings speak that along side the two who were arrested another 15 people may be involved in this BMW part stealing affair.

Honda is reportedly considering the rebirth of the famous NSX sports coupe as a hybrid based on a modified Accord platform. Further, it is expected to be powered either by a 2.4-liter 4-cylinder or a 3.5-liter V-6. If the coupe is voted in favor of production it can be expected to hit the roads in 2014.
According to Motortrend’s sources, a patent application specifies a “V6 powertrain developing upwards of 400 horsepower.” that suggests a definite inclination to the V6 engine.
Moreover, the technology that will be used to power the new sports coupe “can be driven with either a clutch and an engine only, the engine and motor only, or the motor only,” Also, a manual transmission option is expected to be offered.
In addition, the sports coupe is expected to make use of Honda’s SH-AWD system. Meanwhile, it will apply NSX concept technology by fitting the rear-drive-based SH-AWD setup that enabled the test mule to lap the NĂ¼rburgring in 7 minutes, 37 seconds two years ago.
Also, R&D costs will come down significantly if the front-wheel-drive Accord platform is used as a base for this car. Engineers will likely swap the front and rear around to create a rear midship AWD package.
So what do you think of these latest rumors? Is it worth it for an NSX to be produced on a reversed Accord platform? 

After a couple of months on hiatus due to a family emergency in another country, I'm pleased to announce that I'm back blogging! So stay tuned on more news about your beloved automaker! :)
