• Fifth Gear: Fifth Gear Races General Lee Against Starsky & Hutch Grand Torino

  newVideoPlayer("USAMuscleFifthGear_gawker.flv", 475, 376); This week's episode of Fifth Gear featured an epic battle of 'merican muscle. Specifically, we get to watch Vicki Butler-Henderson take a couple laps in two automotive icons of TV -- the General Lee and the Starsky & Hutch Ford Torino. All we've got to say is watching that Charger chug down the straightaway, barely nicking 100 MPH makes us uber-glad for today's HEMI-fied SRT8. Be that as it may, we'd probably still trade our left arm for one.

That way we could believe in Karma without shame or reservation (think Spinal Tap : "I was using bits and pieces of whatever Eastern philosophies happened to drift through my transom"). And come back in the next life as a car. A really hot, snorting, flame-spitting car. That way, Tiff Needel (who will no doubt come back as Tiff Needel) will have the chance to hoon us within an inch of our reincarnated life. That would be cloyingly sweet. Oh, and in the video our man Tiff is behind the wheel of the 650 horsepower Apollo S (0-60 in 2.9 seconds, 225 mph flat out), and not the 800 horsepower Sport version. Sigh...
