Podcasts about gullwing

Step into a time machine and feel the thrill of the open road with “Wings in the Wind,” a high-octane anthem dedicated to the most iconic door design in automotive history — the Gullwing. At the heart of this track is the legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, the original dream machine that soared past every standard with its unmistakable style. This is more than a car song — it's a salute to engineering elegance, motorsport heritage, and the machines that still make our hearts race.

Randy sits down with Ford Motor Company's own Jim Farley, otherwise known as fordman21 in the BaT community, for a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion. Jim generously takes the time to talk about how his early experiences led to a lifetime of flipping cars; his own podcast, DRIVE with Jim Farley; an unexpected and, one supposes, uncommon skill for a Big Three CEO; getting yelled at by a Formula 1 World Champion; the dangers of working in one's hobby; details about his social relationship with BaT; free product advice; connecting with other people over a shared passion; insights into the early days of Lexus; the emotional rollercoaster of sports car production; sage decision-making advice; predictions about the role of AI in the manufacturing process; a formative moment involving Phil Hill and a recalcitrant Gullwing; using his Pantera to stress out his security detail and keep the local Harbor Freight in business; and a heartfelt plea to competing BaT bidders. Follow along!

Mis buenos amigos de Planeta DeAgostini… ¿cómo podían saber que el 330 es mi Ferrari favorito? Estoy enamorado de este coche. Este podcast lo hacemos con la ayuda de Planeta DeAgostini, que nos va a ofrecer a todos los aficionados una maqueta, con la calidad con la que ellos son capaces de hacerlo, del Ferrari 330/4… ¿Qué no conoces este coche? ¡Pero si se le considera el coche de carreras más bello de todos los tiempos! Con un motor central V12 de 4 litros y 450 CV… es-pec-ta-cu-lar. Y esta maqueta cuenta con dos características muy especiales: Primera: Su fidelidad… ¡con licencia oficial Ferrari! O lo que es lo mismo, con los planos de Ferrari… es simplemente perfecta. Solo te digo una cosa: Mira las imágenes del motor. Segunda: Además de perfecta, es… ¡enorme! De escala 1:8 a lo que es lo mismo, ¡medio metro de largo!… ya he preparado en el salón de mi casa un hueco para esta maravilla. Y añadiría una más, porque Planeta DeAgostini sabe hacer estas cosas: No te asustes, si sigues las instrucciones que vienen con las piezas, no es complicado de construir… es más, ¡lo vas a disfrutar! Por ser de seguidor de Garaje hermético tienes ventajas… Aquí tienes todos los datos: https://bit.ly/Ferrari330Garaje usa el código GARAJEHERMETICO y te aplicarán un precio especial. ¡Hoy vamos a olvidarnos de SUV, híbridos, eléctricos, de coches sin personalidad y de temas sesudos! ¡Vamos a divertirnos! Uno de vosotros me propuso un reto: Hacer un listado con los 10 mejores deportivos de la historia… ¡menudo desafío! Pero en GH… ¡nos atrevemos con todo! Hay tantas listas de “Los 10 mejores deportivos de la historia” como aficionados, porque cada uno tiene sus preferencias… os traspaso un reto: ¿Y si hacemos una lista con vuestras preferencias? 1. BMW M3 (1986). El M3 marcó un antes y un después en el mundo de los deportivos y sobre todo en BMW, pues fue el pistoletazo de salida de la división M. 2. Ferrari F40 (1987). Tras el desgraciado fallecimiento del “Commendatore” el 14 de agosto de 1988, lo tuve claro: El F40 era el mejor deportivo del momento, sería uno de los mejores deportivos de la historia y se convertiría en un mito. 3. Honda NSX (1990). Como un Ferrari… pero mejor y utilizable para el día a día. Este coche lo he podido probar muchas veces, usarlo a diario y viajar con él. 4. Jaguar E (1961). Seamos sinceros: La mayor cualidad del Jaguar E es su estética, en especial en su versión descapotable, para mí el “verdadero” Jaguar E. Esa es la virtud que ha prevalecido con el paso del tiempo, en especial desde que Enzo Ferrari dijo aquello de que el Jaguar E era “el coche más hermoso jamás fabricado”. 5. Lamborghini Miura (1966). Yo no soy Enzo Ferrari, pero como sobre gustos no hay nada escrito, me atrevo a contradecirle: Para mí el deportivo más bonito de la historia es el Miura, considerado además como el primer superdeportivo de la historia… y el segundo modelo lanzado por la marca. 6. Lancia Stratos (1973). ¡Otro diseño del Gandini! ¡Qué grande! En Rallyes, su dominio fue aplastante y se fabricaron solo 492 unidades… muchas de ellas acabaron su vida destruida en algún rallye. 7. Lotus Super Seven (1957). El Seven y Super Seven los los Lotus que mejor se adecuan a la filosofía de su creador Colin Chapman cuando decía aquello de “prefiero que me quites un kilo a que me des un caballo”. 8. McLaren F1 (1992). Lo que hace que este coche esté en esta lista es de algún modo lo mismo que al F40: Era un coche de competición que se podía matricular y circular por la calle. Se dice que a Gordon Murray se le ocurrió la idea esperando en un avión y luego pensó… “¿por qué no?”. 9. Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (1954). ¡Solo por las puertas merece estar aquí! Y eso que estas puertas que le dieron el nombre de “Gullwing” o “Alas de gaviota” se hicieron así por pura serendipia… 10. Porsche 911 (1964). No soy especialmente fan del 911 pero… ¡cómo no iba a estar aquí el deportivo por excelencia! Lo tiene todo, una historia bonita, éxito en competición, versiones muy especiales como el primer turbo y, sobre todo, se sigue fabricando en la actualidad, muy evolucionado, pero conservando el rasgo del motor posterior. Conclusión. No están todos los que son, pero son todos los que están. Y hay otra conclusión: Realmente, este podcast necesita una segunda parte… ¿no os parece?

In episode 96 of the BaT Podcast, Alex is joined once again by Beck Diefenbach, who has Thoughts on the One-Year Garage game. They recount favorite classic Top Gear episodes, talk about the "fall rush" in White Glove, and note the much-improved production times for Classic and Plus listings. Alex prepares to try out a BaT Local Partner for himself. The pair compose a paean to one of our very best people, go over notable White Glove auctions of recent months and the near future, and engage in obligatory 356 and Furhmann dives. Finally, they move on to their own takes on recent Questions of the Week, which in turn elicit several embarrassing admissions from them both: favorite sports sedans, cars with the coolest scoops, favorite promotional vehicles, and pre-war daily drivers.

What's the most stylish car ever produced? It's a question guaranteed to stimulate debate among car buffs but the Mercedes 300SL of 1954 would doubtless be near the top of any list.

En 1945 la directiva de Mercedes-Benz emitía un comunicado lacónico: “Daimler Benz ha dejado de existir”. Tal era el desastre tras la guerra. Sólo 7 años después Mercedes vence en Le Mans y en 1954 nace el Mercedes 300 SL “Gullwing”… Pocos coches, quizás ninguno, son tan míticos como el Mercedes 300 SL, más conocido por “Gullwing”, para los hispanos parlantes, “alas de gaviota”. Este coche, considerado por muchos el primer superdeportivo, supuso el renacimiento de la marca cuyas fabricas estaban en completa ruina, tras la guerra y los permanentes bombardeos de los aliados sobre las fábricas nazis. Mercedes y el nazismo. Hay una leyenda negra que planea sobre muchas marcas alemanas incluida Mercedes: Su colaboracionismo con los nazis y el uso de esclavos, muchos de ellos judíos, en sus fábricas. Audi ha reconocido, de forma valiente, muy valiente, que Richard Brunt, considerado el fundador de Auto Union, era afiliado al partido Nazi. Aunque para mí, más escandaloso es la relación con los nazis de la familia Quandt, dueños en su momento de BMW y accionistas mayoritarios en la actualidad.. Pero Mercedes era una referencia en capacidad de producción y tecnología y, por tanto, estaba en el centro de la diana de los nazis. Y lo pagaron muy caro, pues los bombardeos aliados devastaron las fábricas de las marcas destruyendo la mayoría de ellas casi en un 85 por ciento. De tener 20.000 empleados pasó a tener poco más de 1.000. No había materias primas, las infraestructuras de transporte habían desaparecido, en la mayor parte de Alemania el teléfono no funcionaba y no había suministros de agua potable y electricidad. Por eso la junta directiva lanzó ese escueto comunicado: “Daimler Benz ha dejado de existir”. El milagro alemán. Pero pasados esos momentos tan duros, los directivos de Mercedes, todos los empleados y todos los alemanes se pusieron manos a la obra para salir de esa situación. Y ya en 1946, Mercedes reanuda la fabricación en unas condiciones complicadísima, pero consiguen fabricar casi 600 unidades del Mercedes 170V anterior a la guerra. Y en 1951, solo seis años después de dar por “muerta” a la marca, la directiva de Mercedes decide tres cosas: Hay que volver a hacer coches de lujo, hay que volver a hacer coches deportivos y hay que volver a las carreras y a la F1. ¿Por qué “alas de gaviota”? Para poder tener el coche lo antes posible decidieron utilizar lo que ya tenían: El pesado motor 6 cilindros de la serie 300 junto con su cambio, diferencial y suspensiones. E inspirarse en el Jaguar XK 120, que a su vez era un BMW tomado como “botín de guerra”. La fórmula era usar una mecánica mas o menos “de calle” pero con un ligero y rígido chasis tubular y una carrocería aligerada. Para que el chasis fuese rígido, los laterales eran relativamente altos que impedía poner unas puertas “como Dios manda”. Los pilotos entraban y salían prácticamente por la venta y una pequeña abertura, gracias a que el volante era desmontable. Los ingenieros propusieron una idea: Ampliar el tamaño de las puertas y que se articulasen arriba: Acababa de nacer el “alas de gaviota”. Motor “tumbado”. Esas puertas son el rasgo distintivo del 300 SL que se ve. Pero hay otro que no se ve: El motor tumbado. Como os decía, Mercedes partió de un motor que ya tenía, el del 300, pero era un motor grande, no muy potente y pesado. Consiguieron aligerarlo y hacerlo mucho más potente, pero no hacerlo más pequeño: Con ese motor era imposible hacer un coche con el morro bajo y afiliado. O no. La imaginación al poder: Tumbaron el motor 50 grados hacia la izquierda y pusieron un cárter seco, con lo cual la altura bajo mucho y consiguieron un morro muy bajo y afilado. 12 de marzo de 1952. Casi por sorpresa Mercedes presenta a la prensa el 300 SL de competición. Era una noticia doble, por un lado, la presentación de un pura-sangre de carreras, por otra la confirmación de que Mercedes volvía a las carreras con su SL, para algunos iniciales de Sport Leicht o deportivo ligero, aunque en otros documentos se dice que es Super Leicth o súper ligero… lo mismo me da que me da lo mismo. La denominación existe incluso hoy día. Pocas semanas después comienzan las participaciones de los 300 SL en competición y llegan los éxitos. Su estreno fue a lo grande, en la Mille Miglia, territorio casi exclusivo de las marcas italianas. En su primera participación en competición el 300 SL fue segundo… pero ese fue el peor resultado del año, todas las demás carreras las ganaron. Incluidas las 24 horas de Le Mans, donde hicieron doblete. Max Hoffman y el 190 SL. Los éxitos en competición y su imagen, incluidas sus particulares puertas hicieron que, en muchos lugares del Mundo, pero sobre todo en Norteamérica, muchos clientes se interesasen por la posibilidad de comprar un SL “de calle”. Max Hoffman, tenía claro que un coche así tendría en éxito asegurado en los USA. Pero el comité de dirección no lo veía claro. Y diseñaron un coche digamos que “inspirado” en el 300 SL, pero más modesto y sencillo: El 190 SL, descapotable y sin “alas de gaviota”. Pero el éxito del 190 SL lejos de disuadir a la fábrica de no hacer un 300 SL de calle… consigue justo lo contrario. Y el 6 de febrero de 1954 se presenta en el Salón de Nueva York el precioso Mercedes 300 SL “Alas de gaviota”, mucho más bonito, en mi opinión, que el coche de carreras. ¿”Gullwing” o “Widowmaker”? Si no sabéis inglés, os lo traduzco: ¿Alas de gaviota o “hacedor” de viudas? Porque el 300 SL era un coche extraordinario… y extraordinariamente difícil de conducir. Su potente motor, su chasis y sobre todo su eje trasero hacían de este 300 SL un coche solo apto para expertos. Curiosamente el Roadster mejoró mucho en este sentido y, para mí, es mejor coche… pero esa es otra historia que contaremos en otra ocasión. Porque el verdaderamente mítico es el SL. Al final si descontamos prototipos y coches de competición apenas se fabricaron 1.500 unidades en 3 años, debido a las opciones de equipamiento y a las mejoras introducidas de forma continuada, se puede decir que todos diferentes entre ellos… y todos ellos diferentes a cualquier otro coche.

Stephan saw an amazing curated collation at the Bilbao Guggenheim. Steve-O visited the Gullwing specialists Paul Russell Restorations and the BMW Welt in Munich. 2Docs discuss the WSJ article describing the nightmare of a road trip in an EV.

If Eight is Enough, Ten is too many: Jason just bought his tenth car, and it's a problem. It's also slow. Japanese Kei cars are limited to 660 cc and 64 horsepower — but the Honda Beat is an 8500-rpm 3-cylinder with ITBs and sounds like a Porsche 911's flat-six. Just without any chance of a speeding ticket. Jason also just drove an Autozam AZ-1, which has Gullwing doors and is surprisingly fast — so the boys wonder if a Suzuki Cappuccino is just as good? This leads a discussion of slow cars, which invariably means diesels. And a Fiat Cinquecento. Its 2-cylinder, 11-hp just gave Derek some anxiety this past weekend. More so than the underpowered Land Rover Defender 110 diesel that actually managed 70 mph — after miles of full-throttle motoring. Jason once had a W123 300TD Turbo wagon that started, but didn't run. How is that possible? Starting fluid. But the OM617 diesel's loping idle is among the best sounds in the world. And some later Mercedes diesels — like the W124 1995 E300 diesel and OM606 24-valve straight-six. Which is smooth, but slow. Somehow the conversation then turned to Derek's hatred of the Ferrari F355 and 550 Maranello. It's always fun to see Derek miserable, at least for Jason. We suspect the same will be true for you.

Approaching its fifth anniversary, the Newport Car Museum is the largest automotive museum in New England. It celebrates seven decades of modern industrial car design represented in more than 85 vehicles. It's all the vision of owners Gunther and Maggie Buerman. The couple, who live in Highland Beach, Florida, and Newport, R.I., opened the museum in 2017. It's located about 20 miles north of Newport in Portsmouth. The Newport Car Museum has a varied collection of vehicles and a corresponding history museum. Gunther Buerman, originally from Mannheim, Germany, moved as a young boy with his family to New York. His interest in automobiles began when he practiced wax paper transfer etchings of car advertisements from National Geographic Magazine. He was willed a 1966 Ford Mustang convertible in the mid-1980s from an uncle and his passion for cars hasn't waned. A former chairman of Harris Beach, LLC, a major New York law firm and current chairman of American Rock Salt Co. in Retsof, N.Y., Buerman is my guest on Episode #226 of The Weekly Driver Podcast. The vehicles is the Newport Car Museum are owned by Gunther Buerman. Co-host Bruce Aldrich and I interview the car collector and avid sailor about his nearly lifelong interest in cars and his decision to start a museum. "It was a wonderful, wonderful car that I admire for a long time," recalls Buerman. "But my love of cars started before then. I especially remember drawing over some of those cars from Studebaker and Packard dealerships of that time and important Mercedes.   The Newport Car Museum has more than 85 vehicles on display. "I was so enamored by the Gullwing that was pictured in the middle of National Geographic and doing my own rendition of it. In fourth grade when they had vocation day and asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' Everyone wanted to be doctors, lawyers and Indian Chiefs; I wanted to be president of General Motors." The Newport Car Museum is far more than its iconic cars from Ford and Shelby to Fin Cars and Muscle Cars. The varied collection is a also museum for complemented mid-20th Center Modern furnishings by renowned international designers and automotive artworks by Los Angeles-based artist David Lloyd Glover.

In January, Avram introduced us to the new Alienware m15 and m17 R4. This gaming laptop is considered to be the best performing laptop for gaming on the market today. But, like almost all gaming laptops, the biggest issue is the keyboard. Gamers tend to prefer a mechanical keyboard, but that has generally not been available on a portable rig. Thanks to a new set of switches from CherryMX, however, the m15 and m17 now have that option.The new switches, known as CherryMX Ultra Low Profile switches. These all-new keyboard switches are designed specifically to create a mechanical keyboard that is still thin. This is because normal mechanical switches are taller than a normal laptop, and when you add the keycaps, they're even taller. For most people, that is an unacceptable situation, and so we have our new design.A traditional CherryMX switch is 18.5 mm, the newer low profile switches are 11.9 mm, but the newest ultra low profile switches are just 3.5 mm tall. And, because of the design of the switch, the keycaps stretch across the top, as opposed to sitting on top of a post, meaning that all together they are just barely thicker than a traditional laptop keyboard. That is perfect for the m15 and m17 R4, because they are already super thin.This new design switch maintains the ever important clicky feel while also slimming down. The design, according to the company, is based on the "Gullwing" doors from the Delorean car. When you press down on the middle of the key, a swing pulls two edges up, which the company says was directly inspired by the iconic doors from Back to the Future. No matter the inspiration, it is a welcomed addition to the laptop.You can get both the m15 and m17 laptops right now for an additional $176.40.

In January, Avram introduced us to the new Alienware m15 and m17 R4. This gaming laptop is considered to be the best performing laptop for gaming on the market today. But, like almost all gaming laptops, the biggest issue is the keyboard. Gamers tend to prefer a mechanical keyboard, but that has generally not been available on a portable rig. Thanks to a new set of switches from CherryMX, however, the m15 and m17 now have that option.The new switches, known as CherryMX Ultra Low Profile switches. These all-new keyboard switches are designed specifically to create a mechanical keyboard that is still thin. This is because normal mechanical switches are taller than a normal laptop, and when you add the keycaps, they're even taller. For most people, that is an unacceptable situation, and so we have our new design.A traditional CherryMX switch is 18.5 mm, the newer low profile switches are 11.9 mm, but the newest ultra low profile switches are just 3.5 mm tall. And, because of the design of the switch, the keycaps stretch across the top, as opposed to sitting on top of a post, meaning that all together they are just barely thicker than a traditional laptop keyboard. That is perfect for the m15 and m17 R4, because they are already super thin.This new design switch maintains the ever important clicky feel while also slimming down.

to hear this direct from Malcolm Bricklin is a treat in itself. whether you were into this car, or into cars, or just into amazingly persistent and creative people....this is a must watch or listen     6:37 Malcolm: "Now things are going really good with Subaru. I'm hearing all this stuff about safety. And they're talking about putting rules that you have a five mile an hour bumper with no damage to the car, and the car companies are fighting it like crazy, because at five miles an hour, you get a couple $1,000. But the damage, that's parts and service the dealer can make. That's parts that the factories can sell. So they were fighting it."   7:22 Malcolm: "I am going to build a gorgeous car is going to be the safest production car in the world."   10:29 Malcolm: "Instead of two cents, gonna cost me a couple million dollars to get my prototypes"  14:22 Malcolm: "nobody will give me the door I want"   16:36 Mr. Bricklin, we have a problem. American Motors said they are not going to sell those engines.   20:17 Is it possible to get the 351 Windsor?  22:25 Mr. Bricklin we have a serious problem. Yeah, what's the problem? I'm in Scottsdale. I've been driving the car in 114 degree heat. I came out and the acrylic body is on the floor.  26:51 46,000 backorders.    31:45 (politician) "I'm closing it down".   24:10 they did a musical about it. BRICKLIN AN AUTOMOTIVE FANTASY

Thomas Rosier betreibt einen der profiliertesten Klassikbetriebe wenn es um historische Mercedes geht. Darüberhinaus ist er aber vor allem selbst leidenschaftlicher Sammler und noch viel wichtiger: Fahrer seiner seltenen Schätze. Ich rede mit ihm über die Probleme, seltene Autos neuren Baujahrs am Leben zu erhalten, über die Restauration seines Mercedes SSK (!) und über den schlagzeilenträchtigen Diebstahl seines SL Flügeltürers, der einmal den Grundstein für die Firma gelegt hatte. "Alte Schule goes True Crime" sozusagen. Viel Spaß mit meinem Gast Thomas Rosier.

Cette semaine à l'épisode, on plonge dans l'univers de John Delorean, le créateur de la DMC-12. On vous raconte sa vie chez GM, la création de DMC et la fin rocambolesque de son rêve. // En collaboration avec Japan Speciality Import

Robert begins by asking Brian to explain how he got into conservation, but more importantly, what conservation is and how it's different than restoration (1:14). Then, Brian shares how his early career spent working on carriage conservation (7:12) prepared him for his transition into 'industrial conservation' and his specialty with cars (9:43). Robert and Brian then discuss the unhelpful instinct of some car collectors to 'clean the machine' and the benefits of simply removing the layers of dust and dirt in old finds (11:37) before Robert asks Brian to detail how he approaches conservation vs. restoration on a case by case basis with his clients (16:14).  After a short break, Robert asks Brian to talk about one unique car he had worked on recently, The Jenkins' Bus--an important fixture in SC during the Civil Rights Movement that has now been permanently placed on the Historic Vehicle Association's National Registry (19:23). Brian shares the history of B.R. Howard and Associates and its philosophy in the conservation industry (23:35). Then Robert asks Brian to share his involvement in and thoughts about the American Institute of Conservators and the code of ethics they uphold (28:23), before sharing some stories about what he has in his own garage (34:00). ------------------ Learn More: Cars That Matter Follow Us: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Hosted by: Robert Ross Produced and Edited by: Chris Porter Sound Engineering by: Michael Kennedy Theme Music by: Celleste and Eric Dick A CurtCo Media production See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Goodwood, Ford sales, Million Dollar Barn find and Billion Dollar lawsuit all make the cut this week!

The Marconi Automotive Museum in Tustin, California looks, feels, and even smells fast. American muscle – check. Racecars – check. Ferraris and Lamborghinis – check and check. Sportbikes that give you whiplash just looking at them – many checks. Their collection also includes a Gullwing Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce from the 1950s, a firetruck from the 1930s, and much more. It's an auto museum that makes kids, both young and old, grin and drool. But it's also a venue for private and corporate events and all for a good cause. The museum is also a non-profit that supports Southern California organizations that help at-risk children. In this iDriveSoCal Podcast we learn the history of The Marconi Automotive Museum from the museum's CEO, Priscilla “Bo” Marconi. ***Transcript*** Recording date – April 5, 2018 in Tustin, CA Marconi Foundation for Kids Bo: Somewhere along the way, Dick decided that he really wanted to put his money where his mouth is. He's always been very philanthropically-minded and so he decided to donate all of the car collection and the building to the Marconi Foundation for Kids. We've got to one-of-a-kind Ferraris here in our collection. We have the 53rd car that Enzo Ferrari built. We've also got beautiful Gullwing. Ranging from American muscle cars. We've got a Firefox fire truck from the 30s and all the way up to the modern-day car, so there's something here for everybody. Tom: Welcome to iDriveSoCal, the podcast all about mobility from the automotive capital of the United States--Southern California. I'm Tom Smith and having a lot of fun with iDriveSoCal yet again today as I'm in Tustin, California at the Marconi Automotive Museum, and joining me is Priscilla "Bo" Marconi of the Marconi Automotive Museum, excuse me, the CEO, actually. Priscilla, Bo--I'm gonna go with Bo--thank you so much for joining me. Bo: My pleasure. Happy to be here. "We've got to one-of-a-kind Ferraris here in our collection. We have the 53rd car that Enzo Ferrari built." Tom: So the museum was founded by your husband. Bo: It was, yes. Tom: And it is an adult playground. For anyone that's been here already, they know exactly what I'm talking about. If you haven't been here, you absolutely have to come, and you will see the most fabulous display of high-performance vehicles, race cars. And Bo is going to fill us in on how it became and what it's all about. Learn, Earn & Return Bo: Well, my husband Dick founded the place in 1994, and he bought this building which was a former solid oil manufacturing facility that had gone out of business. And I can remember seeing it thinking, "Oh this is a terrible place." It was a decrepit. I had no vision for what it could be. But Dick is a great visionary, and he put what he calls cubic dollars into it, and he formed this museum, and he moved his open-wheel race car team into it along with his car collection of about 75 cars. And so for a couple of years, he used it as a facility to tune the engines. We had mechanics running around and, because he raced professionally, that was the whole purpose of this building. But once he decided that he wanted to stop racing, he opened it up as a special event facility, and we became very organically. So somewhere along the way, Dick decided that he really wanted to put his money where his mouth is. He's always been very philanthropically-minded and so he decided to donate all of the car collection and the building to the Marconi Foundation for Kids, which is a 501 (c)(3) public foundation. And his goal has been to encourage other people to find their passion for philanthropy whether it's children, which is our passion, to give to at-risk children's organizations whether it's animals, the environment, whatever it is that hits your hot button. His mantra is to "learn, earn, and return." So you go to school, trade school, university, whatever your passion is, and then you earn.

What up Riot Gang! Welcome to Episode 38! This week we had a packed house. All 5 members of the band Gullwing were in house today. We talked to them about their self-titled album and more.

It's amazing what happens when the psychodelic camouflage comes off a long-awaited Mercedes-Benz production car. Here's the 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, the reborn Gullwing, the modern-day successor to the 300 SL. We've driven it, savored the uncommonly sharp throttle response from the 6.2-liter V8 (563 hp, 479 lb-ft of torque) and marveled over the handling -- which is more direct and communicative than any other Benz in recent memory. 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Unveiled at 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show: http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2009/09/frankfurt-preview-2011-mercedes-benz-sls-amg-in-the-metal.html
