Sources with the involved companies tell us this is the real car -- the actual car to be used in the show. But, because "it wasn't working at the effects studio yesterday," someone did photoshop the red light. Our detective work's paid off on yesterday's rumor on the new KITT. Now not only do we have off the record confirmation from the "involved parties" that KITT will lose the GM third generation F-body (and legions of mullet-swinging fans), but also that he'll be moving up a few steps on the horsepower ladder. That's right, everyone's favorite talking car (no, not...

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Would Mustang Sally drive a station wagon? Maybe she'll get the chance. The next generation of the Ford Mustang could include some previously unthinkable variants including a four-door sedan and a station wagon, according to a report in the magazine AutoWeek. "To a Mustang purist, this is blasphemy," said Bob Gritzinger, AutoWeek's senior editor for news.

As expected, Ford will unveil this one-off based on its Mustang pony car in Los Angeles. Dubbed the “Ford Mustang Giugiaro” concept, the fully drivable scissor-doored coupe boasts a chopped glass roof and is “powered by Ford Racing technologies.” The design is said to hint at what’s in store for the 2010 Mustang replacement.

The fastest race in the world is in the air. Every year daredevil pilots meet in Reno, a gambler's paradise in the US state of Nevada, to find out who's the best. First they appear only as flickering dots dancing above a mountain crest east of the Sierra Nevada. Then a droning hum is heard, as if a swarm of insects were approaching. And then they race past at speeds close to 800 kilometres an hour (497 mph), making an infernal racket: half a dozen gleaming metal hornets, led by a T-33 jet that leads the pack across the starting...

I'm guessing I'm not alone among auto enthusiasts in having a special place in my heart for Shelby Mustang Cobras. I've driven a few examples over the years, with the most memorable an extremely rare and well preserved 1968 GT-500KR - KR being short for King of the Road. Such a title might seem more appropriate for Bill Ford and Carroll Shelby's latest Mustang, the Shelby Cobra GT500 Concept. Since the automotive businesses favourite octogenarian has been back with the blue oval gang he's been very busy. He oversaw the development of the reinvented Cobra roadster which debuted at last...

Mustang Residents Protest Nativity Ban By Sarah Kahne The Oklahoman MUSTANG - "No Christ. No Christmas. Know Christ. Know Christmas." That was the sign held Thursday by a protester outside Mustang High School. A community's outrage over the elimination of a nativity scene from a fifth-grade Christmas play was displayed in a quiet and reverent protest. A manger with a baby nestled in the hay was surrounded by Mary, Joseph, a shepherd and wise men played by members of the community just outside the auditorium where Lakehoma Elementary students performed the revised version of their Christmas play.

Can the Pony Ride Again? Jerry Flint, 10.18.04, 12:00 AM ET Remember 1965? We had Vietnam and watts, free love, Vatican II, the Beatles, Joan Baez. And we had the Mustang. Back then cars were really important, and the Ford 1965 Mustang, introduced at the New York World's Fair in April 1964, created a wave of car excitement in America never seen before or since. The Mustang and its evangelist, Lee Iacocca, were on the covers of Time and Newsweek the same week. Mustang made Iacocca the most famous executive in America. Later he was president of Ford and then...

Our dear friend Mustang asked to have this prayer request posted for him. Prayer Request For My Wife From Mustang | 10/28/2003 4:49 AM EST Last month, we found out that my wife, Pat, has lung cancer. After numerous tests, the onocologist and surgeon determined that surgery was not possible. So, the next option is chemo, radiation, or a combination of both. We're scheduled this week for more tests and guidance on what will be the best therapy. We would deeply appreciate your prayers. Mustang
