WHAT IS OLD IS NEW AGAIN

---

That's right, kids - there is a new-for-2011 SLR McLaren!

Redesigned with a more sculpted nose and swoopy-er flanks to look more like its kid brother (the unfortunately named McLaren MP4 12C), the new SLR carries on with the 626 hp. 5.5 L supercharged V8 from the previous 722, but features some new aero and suspension tricks from the 722GT project.

I haven't seen any performance numbers, yet, but with production limited to just 25 units and honest-to-goodness McLaren badges, all I can say is "make mine orange".

Man! It is getting ROUGH out there!

You just KNOW the economy is blowing out the bottom of the sh*tter when THESE THREE MONSTERS can get work as models at a DUB show.

Maybe I'm spoiled, but when you can't even buy ass ... YIKES, brother! That's all I'm sayin'.

Tym and I have been talking GTR all week, and we've got two more P700 "Pumpzillas" in the pipeline, already. Add to this an admittedly obsessive/addictive personality, and you can guess this is going to turn out ...

... might as well go with it, no?

So, without further ado: it's Godzilla Theme Week here at Sunshine!

With that in mind, I hope you enjoy the picture above, a JDM watermelon that's marketed to kids as a Godzilla egg ... or something.

survive the coming apocalypse

Once again proving that they are the funniest automotive news site on the interwebs, Jalopnik has just posted the 12 best cars to help you survive 12 different kinds of coming apocalypses (apocalypsi?). At the top of the list (which Jalopnik claims to be "in no particular order") is the RENN's very own GLK 350 Spec.R hybrid rally-racer! Woo-hoo!

Also on the list: that Decepticon what got it's head cut off by Optimus Prime in the first movie (below) and the ultra-clean, all-electric Pow-Pow-Power Wheels Jeep Wrangler.

Enjoy!
