Reminder: GM-Chrysler Merger Mashup Photochop Contest [GM-Chrysler Merger Mashup Photoshop Contest]

Just a reminder boys and girls — you only have until 12:01 AM on Wednesday, October 29, 2008 to get your best submissions in to us in the GM-Chrysler Merger Mashup p-chop contest. Slap 'em into either the comments on the original post or e-mail us at autoinsider@jalopnik.com for the “GM-Chrysler Merger Mashup Photoshop Contest”. Now, get out there and Photoshop us some crazy Monte Chargers and Corvipers or whatever for your chance to win the XBOX 360 game and a copy of the 10th season of Top Gear — and remember, as always, that standard contest rules apply. Oh, and that entry above? We're calling that the 300Camino!

Some say he has a tattoo of a Saleen S7 on his rear end. Others tell us he was born with a penchant for oil rather than his mum's milk. All we know is he's called the Auto Insider and he's always ready to provide the scoop from the other side of Eight Mile.

Video Recreation: Robert Kubica’s Canadian Grand Prix Crash

The techies over at RTL, Europe’s largest TV, radio and production company that broadcasts the Formula One events, put together this cheap, low quality, low budget three-dimensional re-creation of the crash. The action is slowed down to a crawl so that your grandmother can follow the crash frame by frame.

The standard Formula 1 carbon fiber bathtub which is probably more hardcore than the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) 1.5 inch titanium cockpit which weights 6% of the entire aircrafts empty weight is essentially what saved Mr. Kubica’s life during his head on 142.6 mph and 75 G impact.

Not only did the carbon fiber chassis play an integral part of saving his life, but I’m sure some of the other products supplied by DuPont also had some hand in keeping Kubica warm, dry and not crispy or cut up during this crash.

Video: VOD Cars Presents Ferrari CS Tunnel Runs

In case you have been living in a cave or simply new to cool automotive sites, let me introduce you to www.VODCars.com. VOD Cars claims to be the #1 Broadband Car Network, and they post new video episodes every Tuesday submitted by users.

Most of their videos are pretty cool and cannot be easily found anywhere else on the internet, most are worth a watch, but recently I have become more and more unimpressed with some of the over-advertising that they stick into the videos. I don’t want to see more than a quick add at the start of a video, and a quick one at the end.

Their latest Episode 124 (Titled Sounds Of Fury) consists of a Challenge Stradale singing beautifully in a tunnel, a passenger car making fun use of underground train station stops, Captain Kirk approving his test drive, another Ferrari doing 160mph in a tunnel, and a MC12 learns how not to film itself going through a tunnel.

CLICK HERE to view this awesome sounding video (p.s. the first minute of the video is PURE GOLD SOUND from the CS)
