This collaboration between the US Marine Corps and a car show is new to me, very cool to all, and I hope gets tons of toys for the kids the USMC helps out each year at the holidays

"Christmas comes early this year as AutoCon LA and the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots Foundation team up to host a charity toy-drive/automotive function.

This event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 11th, 2010 in the underground parking structure of Seasons Place Plaza in the City of Industry. As the normal car show season comes to a close, AutoCon LA plans to bring together some of the best rides from the west-side back for one last gathering.

With the two organizations paired together, they seek to help spread the joy and cheer of the holiday season to those less fortunate. By doing this, we are giving back to the community in hopes for a better tomorrow. "

I just stumbled across a bad news photo... the Mastersons Kustoms "Genuine imported Brazilian female orangutan underam hair carpet" is wrecked

Above photo I took at this springs Beatnik Blowout

the news and photo are terrible, my consolations to the owner, and hopes that no one was hurt. Smashed photo from http://400bc.blogspot.com/2010/10/please.html who asks that we be careful out there

Update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUn9cyYlcvw&feature=player_embedded the video owner disabled our ability to post the video here, but it's extensively filmed the wrecked custom.
The driver lost control and smashed into the back of a big rig in North Long Beach. The car was going northbound on Paramount Blvd at a high rate of speed at the time of the accident. A car show trophy was seen on seen of the crash. Long Beach PD is investigating accident as a psssible DUI. The passenger had to be cut of the car. Both the passenger and the driver were transported to local hospitals. The classic car was a total loss.

Ken Block's Gymkhana THREE, Part 2; Ultimate Playground; l'Autodrome, France (the coolest thrashing of a Ford Fiesta ever)

To get to the action the fastest, skip the first 50 seconds, though I recommend reading it.

Pirelli is a major sponsor for Ken, and they had this video on loop above the Pirelli area, that is how I found out about it.

It takes about 8 minutes for this video to load, so you may want to key it up and go grab something to eat or drink while it loads up. ENJOY!

the half done Falcon from Fins customs and classics, the best display of what can be done when restoring and upgrading an old car

The car took about 2 months to complete, Fins did the body, paint and detail. The interior was done at Prime time in Turlock and the audio system was done at liquid trends in Modesto.

Believe me that looking at side by side before and after will never be easier to judge the quality work of a comapny

How they carefully pulled this off is a mystery, I didn't find a company rep by the car

I can't find a website for Fins, but they are in Turlock California, and I can verify they do really good work!
