‘Magnum PI’ Ferrari and ‘Back To The Future’ Delorean beaten by Toyotas
Here at Cars + Movies, we’re quite fond of Adam Carolla’s “The Car Show” on Speed TV. Fun cast, cool cars and overall pretty well done. It’s not Top Gear, but they’re finding a good pace and tone. In episode 8, they pitched Magnum PI’s 308 GTS Ferrari against… a V6 Toyota Camry and the Back To The Future DMC Delorean against a, oh... Read More
‘TRON : Legacy’ toys are sure to be a Christmas hit
TRON: Legacy won’t be out until December, but the toys and other licensed products are ready to hit the shelves. Fast Company has published a good article that sums up the best new goodies, but their video gives an much better idea about the upcoming storm. Watch it after the jump! Read More Read More
Sunday Ads special Super Bowl 2010: Bridgestone ‘Your Tires or your life’
We thought the Bridgestone commcial for the big game was okay, just not as fun as the fantastic “screaming squirrel” from last year. But it looked oddly familiar : the 80’s sci-fi look, the young couple being stopped by a bunch of thugs at night on a deserted road, the challenge “your… or your girl”… It’s the intro scene of The Wraith!...

Vern Fonk Insurance goes Back To The Future
Crazy what you can do with a Delorean, a few props and a bit of creativity. This ad comes from a small insurance company, they act in it and they probably shot it themselves, but they sure got a lot of exposure with it. It won’t win a Lion at Cannes, but it’s awesome in its own right. Read More
‘Gone in 60 Second’ GT500 Eleanor replica sells at Barrett-Jackson for $110,000
Autographed by Carroll Shelby, this Eleanor replica is true to the movie ‘Gone in 60 Seconds’, down to the nuts and bolts. It was built by the much troubled Unique Performance which packed 585hp in the 427 Ford V8 engine. The rest of the car follows up with a lot of performance parts and a beautiful finish. It took $110,000 for a lucky bidder to get his hands on it... Read More
Best ever ‘Back To The Future’ DeLorean Time machine has no bids on eBay?
Photo Credit: Whitney Padget This wonderful BTTF replica was built for for someone with a very large wallet by Gary Weaver, an expert on everything DeLorean-from-Back-To-The-Future related. It’s extremely accurate and well built, and to top that of, was shot in front of the Gamble house in Pasadena, California (hey, that’s right next to Cars + Movies HQ… ),... Read More
eBay movie car of the day: Mad Max Mach 1 Interceptor
A Mad Max fan has built an Interceptor replica on a Ford Mustang Mach 1 base and is now trying to sell it on eBay for the small Buy it now price of $18k… It’s not base on a Falcon like it should and the supercharger, air scoops and side exhausts are fake, but it still looks cool and would have everyone in your neighborhood talking. Instant fame, just like that. For... Read More
Fully functional Lego Tumbler is much better than yours
The auction might be over on eBay but it still is fantastic to look at. The guy behind this Tumbler (and Batpod, and 80’s Batmobile etc) spent hours giving it as many details as possible and making it functional, but he also made comic strips and videos… insane! Thanks Gabriel for the tip! Want to see an 80’s Batmobile montage with “Push it to the limit”... Read More
