DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 13, 2011 – When Ford Designer Melvin Betancourt created a one-of-a-kind 2012 Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca for auction at an upcoming charity event to benefit cardiovascular care, research and education at Henry Ford Health System, he says it was a labor of love that came straight from the heart.

Betancourt, 49, suffered a serious heart problem 11 years ago, and he credits the doctors at Henry Ford with saving his life.

“I went to the doctor thinking I had a bad cold and the specialists at Henry Ford told me I had what is called an aortic dissection – a tear in the major blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the body,” recalled Betancourt. “As a result, my aorta had grown to the size of a softball, and I needed immediate open-heart surgery.”

If left undetected, aortic dissections can lead to sudden death. Read more!

The Chevrolet Camaro you see in the adjacent image was tuned by West Coast Customs, with the vehicle having recently been offered for charity by Mecum Dallas.

According to Garage Style Magazine, the vehicle, a 2010 convertible, managed to raise $333,000, with the proceeds going to Operation Mend, a charity that includes the Ronald Reagan UCLA medical Center, Brooke Army Medical Center, and the VA-Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System and aims to treat US Army members that were severely injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As you can see, the vehicle’s list of exterior mods includes goodies such as a glamouflage theme, a front lip, custom side skirts with air intakes, as well as a set of generously-sized chromed rims. Read more and see images!

Hello, folks, it’s been a while. A friend of us bought a custom car cover from the guys at http://www.buyautocovers.com and was very happy with his purchase. When he told us about his order, we decided to post an article about these car covers, because nobody wants to leave his ride exposed to the vagaries of the weather.

The sales team spoke with our friend at length about his needs for a cover and they quickly came to a very reasonable choice that factored in his needs and budget. He was very impressed with the craftsmanship of the car cover, and said “It fits like a glove!” What’s more, he even tested its strength, water-resistance in a downpour and was very pleased with the result, because he had bought a high quality product that matched his expectations at a good price.

DETROIT – The 2012 Camaro ZL1 recently recorded a 7:41.27 lap at the Nurburgring. That is nearly 40 seconds quicker than a Camaro SS tested at the legendary German track in 2009. Measuring 12.9 miles (20.8 km) and including some 154 turns, the Nurburgring’s Nordschleife (“north loop”) is widely considered the world’s most-demanding course.

The Camaro ZL1 used for the lap was a production-intent model, with no performance modifications, driven by Camaro Performance Engineer Aaron Link. The Camaro ZL1 recorded its time of 7:41.27 from a flying start.

“The Nurburgring is unlike any track in the world,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “Each lap includes fast straights, sweeping off-camber turns, hairpin corners, and elevation changes. In order to do well on the ‘Ring, the car has to do everything well – including acceleration, braking, and lateral grip. Breaking an eight-minute lap in a 2+2 production car is a tremendous accomplishment, and validates that the Camaro ZL1 will truly be track-ready from the showroom.”

More than 30 percent of the Camaro SS was re-engineered for the Camaro ZL1, which arrives at U.S. dealerships in the first quarter of 2012. Watch the video on Read more!
