Cat in the Hat movie car for sale on Ebay
2 days left, they'd like 3 million, but bidding is only around 30 thou at the moment. Stupid sellers, they should just go to a big Arizona auction. Nothing gets higher bids than the big Barrett - Jackson, or RM auctions... certainly not Ebay bidders. Not anywhere near the publicity to notify the rich investment types that something interesting is on an Ebay auction.
For more pictures see http://news.windingroad.com/history/ebay-auction-of-the-day-slow-from-mike-myers-the-cat-in-the-hat/#more-11906 because the ebay listing photos suck.
2009 Mustang to have optional glass roof, taken from the Italian prototype?
Not quite as cool, but I'm thinking it isn't coincidence that the Giugiaro Mustang concept below happened first. For more on the Italian concept see: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2006/12/giugiaro-mustang-concept-better.html#links
