Forgiato Wheels Shows off a Ford Thunderbird
Wooooooowwwwwwwww!!! Talk about a vehicle you don't really hear about. In 2002, Ford decided to bring back the Thunderbird after a five year hiatus. If you totaled the sales of the Thunderbird within 2002 to 2005, it is still less than the sales of the Mustang within 2011 (ironically, their lowest selling year in 12 years). Well, Forgiato got their hands on and released photos of a Ford Thunderbird wearing not only their Fiore wheels, but also a Forgiato grille as well.
For real, when was the last time you saw a Thunderbird? With aftermarket wheels? With Forgiato aftermarket wheels? Go ahead, I wait...
Better Late Than Never: Felix Hernandez's Range Rover
In 2008, Derek Jeter said the most truthful statement "The New York Yankees has the best fans". And that's true. But since my beloved Yankees aren't getting their cars customized, I'll show off a player of a lower-tier team: the Florida Mariners. Felix Hernandez celebrated him winning the Cy Young award, and he celebrates the best way possible- having MC Customs customize a Cy Young edition Range Rover.
It's called Better Late Than Never, since apparently I'm late as hell on this customization. Oh well, he's still no Robinson Cano.
Video: Vossen Wheels shows off a Ford Mustang 5.0 GT
The general folks at Vossen Wheels released a video of a Ford Mustang 5.0 GT. This particular GT is wearing their VVS-CV3 wheels blasted in Matte Graphite, 20x9 in the front and 20x10.5 in the rear.
Almost brought a tear to my eye...

The Aston Martin DB9 starred in the two most recent Bond films is about to replace, the preview of the concept was unveiled at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, last week.
Though, more details of the model are not revealed, it looks like the car is finished on the similar lines inspired by the One-77 hypercar. The powertrain is expected to have the same 6.0-liter V12 as the DB9, with more power.
Project AM310 is the third concept vehicle from Aston Martin, which is developed from the Gaydon-based manufacturer to be unveiled at Villa d’Este. Vehicles like One-77 in 2009 and the V12 Zagato in 2011 were also unveiled here.
Aston Martin will use Carbonfibre throughout the construction of the new model to increase the strength and firmness and to decrease the cars weight.
The production version of the project AM310 Concept will debut at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in August, bringing together the 100th anniversary of the marquee Aston Martin.
