Saudis in Audis
VCA now rocks an Audi. With that said if he gives you a package open with caution.

Living room table
Renowned Japanese architect Takuya Tsuchida was approached by a client to build a house on a 2,000-square-foot plot in suburban Tokyo with some very specific instructions. One, there had to be an atrium running up the middle of the house with a potted tree occupying the center. Two, there had to be a nine-car garage on premises to house the owner's car collection. And three, he had to be able to see his prized ponies from the living room.
Sounds complicated enough, but Tsuchida didn't disappoint. His solution was to fit the garage with an elevator platform that can raise one of the cars right into the living space: in this case, a Lamborghini Countach Anniversary Edition, although I can spy what looks like a Diablo GT peering through the opening as well.
The most valuable car in the world, For Sale
Very rarely does the world's most valuable car come up for sale, and if it does, we'd probably never hear about it. These sales are done behind closed doors, and the amount of said transactions are almost never disclosed. All this adds to the mystique behind the Ferrari 250 GTO. Just 36 250s were built between 1962 and 1963, each is still in existence, and easily carries an eight-figure price tag. A few years ago, a 250 GTO was supposedly sold from private collection for nearly $30 million.
RM Auctions have announced that they will be doing a "private treaty sale" of a 1963 250 GTO (chassis #4675GT). The car has been in possession of its current Japanese owner, Yoshiho Matsuda, since 1996, and it has an extensive racing history which may indeed increase the car's potential value.
ESPNish will be putting in a fractional offer in hopes that Matsuda is fan of the iSH and will take a Jetta and a WRX in trade for the 250.
Coach Neuheisel & Coach Polizzi bless my wedding
This is truly what ESPNish is all about.
My friendship with BD is what brought this site together. Brian's friendship with Chris is what brought this video to his wedding. Chris' love for football (and poor showing at the Combine) is what brought him to UCLA. UCLA brought Neuheisel to campus for $1.25 million a year. Neuheisel now brings ESPNish national credibility.
And it's all because of a girl who watches SportsCenter, thanks for saying yes Leigh.

This is a good Caddy
Stuffing a Corvette inside a Caddy is less messy than you'd think.
With a supercharged and intercooled 6.2-liter LSA V-8 under the slightly raised hood, and at least 556 horsepower and 551 lb-ft of torque, she’ll go 0 to 60 in well under four seconds. This could become the meanest Caddy in history.
We'll see the official specs in later 2010.
Jay tests out the exploding-door Benz
I think he's right that this car will always (at least) hold its initial value.
Tiger’s Escalade or OJ’s Bronco?
...GM's Caldwell says the Escalade will be sold. He says he's not aware of a deluge of offers to buy it at present. But when the time comes, he says he doesn't think it will be an in-house, private placement arrangement. "I would caution folks from expecting that we'd arrange a special sale of it to any certain buyer in an ad-hoc manner," Caldwell says. Rather, he says "if and when they are sold, these kinds of vehicles almost always go thru a formal auction process, for a variety of reasons."
We know what became of JFK's limousine and the Rosa Parks bus. But who knows what happened to the other most famous vehicle of recent times, the Ford Bronco of slow-speed chase fame that carried O.J. Simpson to his arrest?
