Forum Madness: Don’t You Just Hate It…

...when your flywheel dislodges from your car and takes everything with it?

Found on the pages of  SpeedClubPR & Honda-Tech, it's not so much a record breaking thread, but the video is a record of the off chance of a flywheel taking out the whole front end of a CRX.

Nissan GT-R… breaking necks in more ways than one

It sure has been a while since I've posted a video about the Nissan GT-R (my dream car... uh hum Santa) This is a review from those crazy guys from Brittan's "TOP GEAR". You have to love how the announcer seems as amazed with the car as I am. P.S. you will understand the neck breaking part after watching the video... Enjoy!

The GT Roller Coaster… sponsored by Ferrari

Ferrari+roller coaster= Super Fast Roller Coaster! Ferrari has previewed its Ferrari World Abu Dhabi GT roller coaster, and it promises to be one of the most memorable park rides on the planet. "The GT roller coaster is a racing coaster, which will send two competing roller coaster carriages sprinting along twisting parallel tracks on a race to the finish line," said Ferrari in a statement. "Each coaster car is a replica of a Ferrari F430 Spider."

Maybe someday importjunkiez.com will make a trip out there to bring back a first hand recount of how the ride is? hopefully!

Mazda’s Going Black & Matte with the Miata

WYHI?

Mazda unveiled this blacked out Miata to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Miata in France. All looks here folks, as there's no performance upgrades to the car...unless you consider the gems sprinkled through out the cabin as adding some needed HP. :P

I'd prolly hit it...gems and all. I'm a sucker for flat paint jobs. Remember that Prodrive RSX? Sexy.

PINKS all out … AE-86 represents!

Here's a funny video that I came across. The host of PINKS takes a pretty funny shot at the Toyota Co. and there current situation ( you know the acceleration on it's own problem). Hey, you gotta give that little corolla that could a thumbs up for representing! Enjoy!

Squeeze Inn… famous burger joint in NorCal.

For those who don't know about Squeeze Inn, it's a very famous burger place in NorCal. Currently they have two locations, Sacramento and Galt, Ca. They're planning on opening one more in Roseville, Ca. The original one, posted above, is sadly no longer there. They moved to a newer and larger location, a few blocks down from the og location. It was even featured on Oprah and the Food Network as a hidden gem in the Sacramento area.

So if you're ever up here (Sac) and are looking for the best burger in town, smothered in a bubbling cheese "Skirt", then you have come to the right place.

The famous "Squeeze With Cheese" burger is a 1/3 pound of beef with almost as much cheese, all on a fresh bun, and all the fixings. Trust me... you will want more than one!

1000 horsepower Twin Turbo Ferrari F430 Spider…

A Ferrari F430 Spider is already fast, but come on! Check out this 1000 horsepower Twin Turbo Ferrari F430 Spider that I came across when surfing the web. It sounds sweet... love that blow off sound! I would love to see a Ferrari like this in person, better yet test drive one! Awe to dream!

Tanner Foust @ Mulholland Drive

I like this vid. If you haven't seen it already you must be living under a rock. What is it? Tanner Foust in his Rockstar Scion tC drifting around LA's famous Mulholland Drive.

Is it drift season yet?

Video Games. Don’t Bother Me.

Its been a busy week with things outside of Import Junkiez and hopefully as things start winding down with real life, we can get back to the regularly scheduled posts. Boss Lady came into town for a friend's wedding and that pretty much took up a lot of last week into today. So as I try to recover lets take a look at this clip from Game Trailers.

Oh God of War...did you come out today? I think its time to put Import Junkiez back on hiatus. ;)
