When Enzo Ferrari turned down Bill Harrah's request for a 4x4 Ferrari, Harrah did what any wealthy car collector would, thumbed his nose at Maranello and built his own. Taking a 1969 Jeep Wagoneer and mating it with a Ferrari 365 GT, the Jerrari was born. While its original 4.4L V12 is long gone in favor of a far more reliable 350 V8, the weirdly attractive bodywork and handsome interior are still all there. Not only is it in impeccable shape, it's up for auction on eBay. galleryPost('jerrari', 9, 'Bill Harrahs Jerrari'); Yes indeed, one of the two ever built is going against the block and at the moment of writing, fetching a positively reasonable $8,100. Sure there are over six days left before the winner is declared, and it is out in LA so all those red meat loving, SUV driving wackos will be all over it, but still — Ferrari SUV. Cool.

We occasionally see lists of the best television cars pop up on the Internet, and we always find ourselves at a loss to understand why people feel the need to limit themselves to just ten. A good list should probably come in closer to 30, so it's not just predictable choices like K.I.T.T. and the Batmobile . The list below isn't a bad attempt, though we're sad to see the Ferrari Daytona from Miami Vice didn't make the cut. Anything else missing? Top Ten Most Memorable TV Cars 10. The Beverly Hillbillies' Truck 9. Starsky's 1975 Ford Gran Torino 8. The Original Batmobile 7.1983 GMC G-Series A Team Van 6. Thomas Magnum's Ferrari 308 GTS From Magnum P.I. 5. The Flintstones' Flintmobile 4. The Vista Cruiser from That 70's Show 3. The Car From My Mother The Car 2. The Original K.I.T.T. 1. The General Lee [Internet Broadcasting via WKMG ]

Al Navarro Week will never die, it'll just fade away. Though, not today. And today is indeed good. Al digs up one of our most favoritest yet leastest well known hoon scenes of all time then asks the following: Cars, drivers, and personal grudges considered, if it weren't for the garbage truck,who would have won the Against All Odds race? James Woods in 308 vs Jeff Bridges in 911 (note that Jalopnik does not condone street racing or exceeding of posted limits, and reminds you that this is a movie, kids) Al's right, never drive into on coming traffic. Though in someways, the above clip does resemble Al in his Se7en chasing me in my Hoondai on the Tail of the Dragon . Just sayin'. Also, we've seen James Woods (and his insanely hot lady friend) playing Hold 'Em at the Hustler a few times. We sure as hell ain't betting against him.

Our good buddy Kennedy ( see here ) just signed a mega-bucks deal with Warner Brothers and took off to England in search of fame, fortune and what have you. Is he buying hot cars with his millions? Probably not, as the American dollar is worth like half a farthing these days. Regardless, if you're going to front as a jet setting, white boy pimp, we can think of few better cars to vamp with than an AWD Interceptor . One of the rides we can think of just happens to be after the jump. Photos courtesy of AJP photography.
