Ford Motor Company has realized that the Mustang has lost a little sparkle.  Once the premier muscle car of its era, the Ford Mustang has become lost in a sea of other cars that are as fast or faster and as good-looking or better.  However, Ford executives have an idea of how to put the kick back in their pony car, and that’s reaching back into the past.  Ford has announced that they’re resurrecting the Ford Mustang Boss 302.

The goal was to create a “successful, race-bred, worthy successor to the original Boss 302.  For us that meant a production Mustang that could top one of the world’s best, the 2010 BMW M3, in lap times at Laguna Seca,” said Ford group VP Derrick Kuzak.  Thanks to increased air intake, a 440-horsepower engine, a stiffer body, and 19-inch racing wheels, Ford just might have done that.

All it takes is one removed part (a restricting plate) to turn the Mustang from street-legal to racing machine. Hence the second Boss 302 announced, the racing-style Laguna Seca.  It features no back seat, an x-shaped body brace, and an even-bigger air-sucking hood scoop.  “This is as close as you’re going to get to a racing car with a license plate,” says Mustang chief engineer Dave Pericak.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
