proof the Dakar is not for solo acts... it breaks cars, real bad, and you'll need a support team and spare parts to get back on the road

9 time WRC champion Sebastien Loeb who, with co-driver Daniel Elena, crashed his #314 Team Peugeot diesel truck on January 11.

They had to change two wheels, the transmission, had to patch up the radiator, and then discovered a broken shaft when they tried to move. Total downtime: Under 90 minutes.

update to the Make A Wish Mustang

The gift delivery was made at Rady Children's Hospital as Brycen went back into the hospital yesterday following excruciating pain in his back and legs coupled with a fever. Thankfully, he is expected to go home tonight or tomorrow.

Brycen unwrapped the first gift (from the list of donors) that had a couple pictures of the car and the actual pink slip.

Brycen wasn't quite sure what the pink piece of paper was as it was his first time seeing one. When his dad explained what the pink slip was, Brycen actually cried he was so happy.

He then opened up the second gift (from Make-A-Wish) that contained fuzzy dice to hang from the rear view mirror and a Ford Mustang book on the classic models.

Dana explained that Make-A-Wish could now grant his wish and that he will be involved in making all the cosmetic choices of how he envisions his very own 1966 Ford Mustang to look like.

A woman looking for a ride in Texas is going to make it home to California for the holidays.

A driver at the truck stop bet a group of other drivers that if they raised enough money for her bus ticket and cash for food, he would walk around the lot in his underwear. Well, once again, the drivers came through.
