Of the three "
Top Gear" hosts,
Richard Hammond may be the most sympathetic towards
American tastes. He's made no secret of his love for American machinery, including our big-boned muscle cars and pickup trucks. Hammond even spent some time filming in our neck of the woods while working on his new show, "Crash Course." The series puts Hammond behind the wheel of the largest machinery on the planet, and not surprisingly, the first episode focuses solely on the monstrosities of America.
Hammond sat down with
GQ to discuss the project as well as some of his favorite vehicles from the States. While cars like the
1969 Dodge Charger and
1968 Ford Mustang GT are obvious picks, Hammond also seems to favor creations like the modern
Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the
Jeep Wrangler. Head over to
Wired to take a look at the full list for yourself. "Crash Course" airs Mondays at 10 on BBC America.

Of all the excellent car chases in cinema history, the
Dodge Charger vs.
Ford Mustang battle in Steve McQueen's
Bullit may be the most recreated. Now it looks like the crew from the TV show
Alcatraz has tried its hand at paying homage to the hubcap slinging sequence. According to local news station KTVU Channel 2, the new FOX series recently spent hours on San Francisco's Bay and Larkin streets in an attempt to painstakingly replicate each legendary scene using modern interpretations of the famous bruisers in the 1968 film. The final product will be part of the
Alcatraz season finale, set to air on March 26.
We've seen the
Bullit chase replicated for
questionable music videos and with
stop-motion animation, but this is the first time in recent memory a TV show has tackled putting Mopar power against the now iconic Highland Green Mustang.
Alcatraz is the brainchild of executive producer J.J. Abrams, and features three investigators as they look into why 302 of Alcatraz prison's most foul prisoners and guards have suddenly reappeared in modern-day San Francisco. If you're interested, check your local listings for air times.

Joining the hot new
NASCAR Ford Fusion next year will be the vehicle you see here, which is purportedly the 2013 Dodge Charger stock car. It looks angry. Did we make it mad?

Chrysler may want to give the new Dodge Dart
a well-accessorized introduction, but other product lines are getting some welcome Mopar-style attention as well. The only problem is that the best part on display for the
Charger Redline 426 is the one you're not really allowed to use.

There's a thin line between patina and outright decay, and artist Bo Lundvang seems to understand that threshold all too well. He's created unique pieces of art using massive 40-inch by 20-inch sheetmetal panels wrapped in white vinyl. The artist cuts out the profile of his desired image, removes the negative and allows the metal to endure the elements. Once the panels have reached the appropriate level of patina, Lundvang seals the pieces in several layers of clear coat to prevent further deterioration. The designs are appropriately stylish for office or garage decor, and Lundvang has crafted artwork based on everything from classic muscle like the
1969 Dodge Charger above to modern supercars like the
McLaren MP4-12C and
Koenigsegg CCX.
The artist hasn't listed any prices, so if you like what you see, you'll have to head over to his
web site and reach out through email. Too cool.
