Video: The $5 Million Dollar Modified ENZO FERRARI

New York Hedge Fund manager and movie director Jim Glickenhaus liked the 330 P3/4-era Ferraris so much that he took his Enzo out to Turin, Italy, to recreate the classic cars based on state-of-the-art technology. The entire upgrade cost $4 million USD on top of the $1 million USD sticker price of the Enzo = $5 million USD Ferrari P4/5. Yes, quite NUTS.



Among the upgrades include a complete overhaul of the body, redesigned and rebuilt by Pininfarina, 20′ wheels wrapped in fatter yet thinner tires, custom-made fabric picked out by his hot spoiled daughter, and a raised “cut line” to allow for easier access to the monster living underneath the hood.

Apparently Ferrari liked the overhaul so much that they approved badging the vehicle as a bona fide Ferrari. This is unconfirmed and highly skeptical if you ask me.

VIDEO: Automotive Industry Trends - UAW Lauds House Approval of Workers' Rights Bill

Watch U.S. Rep. George Miller's speech on the House floor prior to the final vote on the bill below (Miller, D-Calif., is the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee):



Thursday, March 01, 2007 -- UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said Thursday’s passage of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) by the House of Representatives was a major step forward in protecting workers’ rights.

The House passed the EFCA on a vote of 241-185, with several Republicans joining the overwhelming majority of Democrats who supported the measure.

“For too long, workers who want a union have been denied that basic right because the laws are tilted in favor of employers,” Gettelfinger said. “EFCA will go a long way toward promoting democracy in the workplace and giving workers a choice about the right to bargain for a better standard of living.”

The bill would require employers to recognize unions when a simple majority of workers indicate they want a union. Employers have taken advantage of the current lengthy and cumbersome National Labor Relations Board election process to thwart union drives.

The EFCA stiffens penalties for employers who violate labor laws, and would also mandate binding arbitration in first-contract negotiations when those talks fail to reach agreement. Many employers refuse to bargain in good faith when an organizing drive succeeds.

“America needs this legislation so workers who want the right to bargain do not have to face intimidation and harassment by their employers,” Gettelfinger said. “We encourage all UAW members to contact their senators and urge swift passage of this critically important legislation.”

Video: Nissan Qashqai Going For The Rodney Mullen In All Of Us

Nissan’s new Qashqai crossover SUV is launching everywhere else in the world (there’s no plan at this point to bring to the States) and with it, a new advertising campaign from the geniuses at TBWA in London (TBWA Chiat Day runs the Nissan/Infiniti accounts in the U.S.). The TV spot, featured here in a YouTube clip, shows the car “skateboarding” through urban traffic. The skateboarder in us loves the kick flip (invented by Rodney Mullen in the 1980s, who we wanted to be so badly during our skinned-knee days), and the car enthusiast in us loves the accurate look and feel of the suspension movements. The car actually looks like it’s jouncing and rebounding from a giant skateboarder’s weight. How did they do that? Millions of dollars of CGI is the likely answer.

America Vs. Germany In The U.K. - Chrysler 300C SRT-8 Vs. BMW M5

Yes, we love the UK’s Top Gear, despite their derisive (and incessant) “Yank Tank” jokes. In this clip, we see Jeremy Clarkson take on one of our favorite big American sedans, the Chrysler 300C SRT-8. The boys at TG have a little sideways fun with the car, and then put it up against BMW’s all-conquering M5 at Willow Springs.

Our end assessment of the SRT-8 differs rather sharply with that of Mr. Clarkson, but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy seeing it drifting about in tire-smoking anger.

Enjoy.
