It's not everyday you see a Bugatti Veyron up on the auction block at Barrett Jackson. Well things got even weirder at the auction when the $1.8 million dollar car didn't even break the $1 mil mark and the winning bidder said he hadn't actually bid. He also claimed that he was just trying to help, he then was escorted from the premises so Barrett Jackson wouldn't lose any credibility.

What ended up happening is CEO Craig Jackson ended up buying the car himself so there wouldn't be any bad blood between Barrett Jackson and the car owner. After that, Craig ended up getting a phone bid, the phone bidder said he'd take the car of Craigs hands. Show's you how weird things can get when the economy is struggling in the car world.

Rally champion James Girvan has died from a major crash in the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally in Scotland. BBC news has just reported about the incident, saying Girvan's Subaru Impreza collided with a few boulders that threw him into some trees. James Girvan's co-driver had to be cut free from the car, suffering only a minor arm injury. Jimmy Girvan was pronounced dead at the scene, at age 56, he will be surely missed. It just amazes me how even an experience driver such as Girvan can die from a simple mishap on the track. Race car driving definitely is a dangerous sport!

First thing I thought of when I saw the 2011 KTM X-Bow R is the movie "Transformers." The super car almost looks alive, like it's ready to transform and rip somebodies head off. It's a really cool looking car.

KTM just revealed that the new X-Bow R will be sporting 300 horsepower with it's 1,742 pound body. That's a 60 horsepower increase from last year. I'm sure the X-Bow R will really move on the track this time around.

Hyundai is recalling around 140,000 new Sonatas, mainly over steering issues. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration identified the problem due to a improperly assembled or insufficiently tightened column shaft. The consequence could be separation of connections on the shaft which results in a car crash. Car owners should only be worried if they have Sonata sedans built between December 11, 2009 and September 10. Dealers will send out recall notices in October, they will inspect and re-torque the steering column shaft without any problems. If you need someone to talk to in the meantime about the Hyundai Sonatas, you can call the Hyundai Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-633-5151 or the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153).

Road & Track's own Sam Mitani pulled in at the local Cars and Coffee with the record setting Suzuki Kizashi, mainly to just show off. If you remember, the Suzuki Kizashi was making over 500+ horsepower and recently went over 200 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. This is rather strange for a Suzuki car, they really aren't known for performance. All types of pictures were taken at Cars and Coffee, gawkers were everywhere, I think a lot of coffee people were quite impressed.

This is rather weird, two totally different categorized companies have teamed up to bring us a custom Laborghini Gallardo. The watchmaker Blancpain and extreme car maker Lamborghini have just made their own custom Gallardo dubbed the "LP570-4 Blancpain Edition."

So what sets this custom Gallardo different than the other super cars, well how about vented engine cover, big rear wing, carbon fiber parts, and Skorplus wheels sound to you? They just look great on the exotic sports car. A matte black finish with yellow accents has really brought out the looks of the Lambo as well.

Here's some detailed specs on the Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Blancpain Edition. The car weighs in at 2954 pounds and has a V10 with 570 horsepower. It's definitely going to be a big hit with automotive enthusiasts around the world.

You probably never thought there'd come a day when the Ford F-150 truck gets a turbocharged V6, well guess what, it has! Things are changing for the better due to the economy crisis and gas prices. Ford plans to come out with four different engines for the Ford F-150. I have to say I like the new looks of the F-150, it really deilvers a bold statement. I can't wait to drive the new turbo V6 on the F-150, hopefully it delivers some good raw horsepower! Knowing Ford, I'm sure it will.

Did you know that changing oil every 3,000 miles is a thing of the past?  For quite sometime too, this hasn't been something to worry about since the 80s.  With the technology of new oil, especially synthetic, some oils don't have to be changed until 7,000 miles to 10,000 miles comes on the gauge.

Even regular oil doesn't have to be changed every 3,000 miles.  When I think about it, it's got to be some conspiracy to keep car owners coming back to the dealer so they can make money off of you.  I mean it's absolutely ridiculous!

This is something you shouldn't worry about too much anymore.  Personally I change my oil every 4,000 miles, it's a decent marker to go with.

If I had a choice to choose the best car racing song, I would pick "Kickstart my Heart" by Motley Crue. The song will definitely get your adrenaline going, even Motley Cruse's own video of the song has cars drag racing in it. The song goes hand in hand with fast cars, there's no doubt. Next time you're at the track you should try blasting it!
