VIP BMW Van Conversion

now this is what you call a conversion

VIP BMW Van Conversion

Ok, not sure what minivan this started off as, but it looks really good now!  This VIP inspired van has been converted to a BMW 3 series front and the rear end gets the M3 bumper conversion.  I have to say what an amazing job they have done molding it on.  It looks like it came that way from the factory.  Job well done!  More pics of the VIP van after the break.

Car & Driver: Top 10 Best Cars of 2010

Car & Driver has announced their best of the best for 2010!

Car & Driver: Top 10 Best Cars of 2010

For the 28th year in a row, Car & Driver has announced their top 10 cars for 2010.  There is plenty of great rides for us to look forward to and hopefully plenty of new cars to hit the race and show scene for 2010.  I am happy to see that the 2010 Audi S4 made it on the list as it may be the next car on my list to get my dirty little hands on.  It's an interesting variety of cars with domestics, imports and Europeans on it.  Most interesting to us is the Ford Fusion Hybrid which has been garnering a lot of attention from the press media.  Here's the top 10:

2010 Audi S4
2010 BMW 3-series / M3
2010 Cadillac CTS / CTS-V
2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid
2010 Honda Accord
2010 Honda Fit
2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata
2010 Mazda 3 / Mazdaspeed 3
2010 Porsche Boxster / Cayman
2010 Volkswagen GTI

BMW E92: Sharpie Art

Our friend Reggie over at MW Design Technik got into a minor accident in his beautiful E92.  Since he's getting a replacement fender for his car, he decided to have a little fun with it.  He handed a sharpie over to his buddy and two hours later a work of art was done.  Definitely original and unique, but you have to give credit to his friend - this is some talented stuff.  More pics after the jump.
