First up, we have a relatively tame clip of the venerable American classic, the Dodge Viper. No real story here, just the sickening crunch of metal on metal as a van becomes what I can only presume would be a V14.

Next up, the featured car is a 2009 Ferrari California. This car was shipped to Bulgaria for some shenanigans rich millionaire to toss into corners. Turns out, he let the back end out a little too far. As a precautionary note, turn your sound down for this clip as it was filmed by howling cats.

This next video has had GT-R fanboys up in arms for months now. In a typical rally style drive, like those that occur all over the world on canyon roads, a young kid felt the need to show the world the true performance potential that is possessed by the Nissan supercar. He was driving Glendora Mountain Road here in Socal and apparently didn’t realize how many drivers are very fast on those roads. He tried to keep up with a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 9 and felt the sting of the canyon wall. Many suspect the driver has moved on to a BMW M3 of the E90 persuasion.

We have another classic American car leaving the road again up next. This Shelby Cobra biting the curb may explain why Irvine’s Cars and Coffee had such strict no burnout rules. It also may explain why young people should never host documentaries. Note the crowds reaction.

Proudly demonstrated in a Lotus Elise, is a bit of lift-throttle oversteer and an elevation change. This is just a group drive gone wrong.

In recent news, the world was lit on fire with the passing of a Bugatti Veyron in Texas. The driver initially said that a bird flew in front of him causing him to swerve into a marsh, but as soon as this video turned up he changed his tune. Turns out he was on the cell phone.

Everyone’s favorite road rally, the Gumball 3000, takes another victim. A Rolls Royce Phantom drifts into a guardrail and pukes body panels. The audio is a bit naughty so this is NSFW.

The last video I’ll leave you with is that of Eddie Griffin totalling an Enzo at Irwindale Speedway during a charity event that centered around promoting the movie “Redline”.

First, ditch the Taurus! Why does Ford continue to shove the Taurus down consumers throats and not offer us the Mondeo? I don’t even care if they ditch the Mondeo’s “mighty” 2.5 liter V6 as the top of the line engine and throw in one of the Taurus’ 3.5 liter offerings. Or don’t and tell everyone that they are saving the environment and what not. The 2.5 liter engine gets nearly 31 MPG and it has 220 horses! Who wouldn’t like that? The fact of the matter is: the Mondeo is a sexier better car than the Taurus and should be gracing the streets of America.

While they are at it, why not compete with Toyota and bring the Ka to the USA. It is a solid city car that would fit right in with the Scion, Yaris, Fit, and Cube. It makes no sense that Ford continues to ignore that market demographic. Not to mention it is a great little platform for rallying. If you haven’t noticed the Red Bull fueled extreme sports nuts have made rally racing the new in sport for the time being. Ford already have a one make race for the Ka that is extremely affordable and makes for great racing. Plus the Ka is not only made in Poland, it’s also made in Mexico for the Latin American countries. Just ship it here Ford and make everyone happy!

This may hurt to hear, but Ford needs to ditch the Mustang. Before you pick up your torches and pitchforks, understand this: the only Mustangs that are selling well are the V6 models that people can buy for cheap and in 4 or 5 years they will be worthless, further cheapening the Mustang name. On top of that the new Mustang is terrible! The only way to get a good Mustang today is to buy one made in the 60′s or to go to an aftermarket tuner like Roush or Saleen and pay a bundle for one. Ford can offer a car that is better than the Mustang in every way including history. Bring the Falcon back. You make it in Australia and it looks and performs amazingly, so why not sell it here? It has big engines in all trim levels, from 4.0 liter V6′s on the small end and a great 5.4 liter V8 at just under 400 horses in the XR8. The biggest plus is that Ford could race this platform in NASCAR series’ and garner a great following for it.

Lastly, the Focus needs an upgrade. Not to any of the basic models because they are all great, but to the top of the trim level. Ford has denied the sports car community for so long the top end of the compact hatch that it has left enthusiasts everywhere with a gaping hole in their hearts. One needs only to say one sentence to sully a SVT Focus owner: “Too bad it’s not an RS…” Four different Ford models have had the RS badge grace their bodies in Ford’s history and they were all street demons. With its genesis in the Escort, the Escort RS1600 was a car that won rally championships and garnered a following among enthusiasts. Ford still produces the Focus RS in England, where its all wheel drive turbocharged 4 cylinder platform is both a looker and a performer. Somehow Ford missed the boat and only brought the US a watered down front wheel drive naturally aspirated 4 cylinder platform. What happened? So Ford needs to fix it and bring us the RS so we can go about having the 40 years of fun we’ve missed out on.

Ford needs to make these few easy improvements to their fleet  in the American market to reinvigorate themselves as a brand and to become a worthy American car for the masses. I hope they do it because I’ll be the first in line for a Focus RS.
