The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO made a guest appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien last night. The comic host still owns and drives his beloved 1992 SHO, claiming it's the finest car ever built, so Ford invited him to Galpin Motors in Los Angeles to check out the new one. Amy Marentic from Ford is his tour guide and does a great job keeping up with the jokes, at one point refusing to massage Conan's neck where the multi-contoured massaging seats won't reach.
After trying out the new SHO, Conan shows Amy what's up with a tour of his own 1992 SHO – "The Beast" – that's parked right beside. We won't ruin all the laughs for you, suffice it to say that Ford got some sweet product placement in a skit that makes you chuckle more than it tries to sell you a car. Hit the jump for the video!

Pricetag: $128,500 USD

The good news for our fellow Aussie readers is that, while GM has not revived plans to introduce a right-hand drive (RHD) version of its new 2010 Camaro, Queensland-based Performax International, an Australian importer and converter of new US-made passenger vehicles, has announced the domestic market launch of what it supports to be, the world's first RHD version of the muscle car. The bad news is that those interested will have to be willing to dig really, really deep into their pockets...
To be precise, the Camaro SS with the 426HP 6.2-liter V8 and a six-speed manual transmission will be priced from $139,000 AUD ($128,500 USD at the current exchange rates) or more than twice the cost of the HSV Clubsport R8, a high-performance version of the Holden Commodore / Pontiac G8 sports saloon equipped with a 425HP LS3 V8 that retails for $65,990 AUD.
In the U.S., the V8-powered Camaro SS costs a mere $33,745 USD or $36,500 AUD meaning that an Aussie can basically come to the U.S., buy a Camaro and live fairly comfortably off the price difference for a couple of years without having to work...
Despite the overly-hefty price tag, Performax claims that it has already received half a dozen orders and expects more now that the RHD Camaro has been released.
"For something that will be an absolute standout on Australian roads - and drive as good as it looks - it's great value for money," Performax General Manager Nicholas Vandenberg said.

On its way to doing the 1/4-mile in 11.07 seconds at 128 mph, a Hennessey-tuned 700-horsepower Cadillac CTS-V hit .99 longitudinal G as it left the start line. By the end of the run the phone inside the car was ringing, and it was your friendly neighborhood OnStar representative wondering "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Ok, not quite... but they did have some questions. Follow the jump to watch the video.
There is one small catch...

Audi Canada is now offering an option for those with a garage but lacking the budget to swing one of its mid-engine sports cars. They've created a wrap for garage doors that gives the appearance of an R8 parked inside. Of course, this thing won't get you anywhere aside from up and down, but it will truly affirm your poseur credentials.
If this is one of those gottahaveit items, you can order it at ownyourownr8.ca for just $469 Canadian. We searched the AudiUSA.com site, but the wrap isn't listed and we've yet to hear back from our contacts at Audi USA.

Ken Block and Rob Dyrdek, friends and founders of Monster Energy, recently hit up a local airport for some drifting fun.
The catch? Block drives his 565-hp Crawford Performance SR5 2.65L Subaru Impreza WRX STI, while Dyrdek rides around in a go-kart version of Block’s car. Hit the jump!
Not sure I've seen worse. But, I'm sure there is somewhere.

An angry shopper drove his Rolls Royce into a Tesco superstore after a dispute.

Robert Caton, 50, went to the supermarket to remonstrate with managers after the bed he ordered was delivered without a mattress. Unhappy with their response he flew into a drunken rage before driving his 1983 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit through the store's plate glass window as shoppers and staff dived for cover.
Moments before he had asked a security guard how long it would take to evacuate the store. Six women were treated for cuts, bruising and shock after his car smashed into the store and demolished two check outs.
Caton, of Cusden Drive, Andover, admitted dangerous driving and failure to provide a specimen of breath and was remanded in custody until September 25, when he will be sentenced.
He denied a charge of causing criminal damage reckless as to whether life was endangered and this was dropped by the prosecution.
After the hearing at Winchester Crown Court, prosecutor Tom Wright said Caton had driven his car into the store following a row about an order he had made with Tesco Direct.
Mr Wright said: "There was an argument about a furniture order and they did not deliver a mattress with a bedroom set.
"Staff in the store were trying to help him, but they weren't getting anywhere with customer service because it was a telephone order from Tesco Direct, not from them.
"The staff were on the phone trying to help him, but Caton was intoxicated and was getting agitated.
"Then he went and got in his car and had a conversation with at least one security guard and asked him how long it would take to evacuate the store.
"He said he was going to drive his car in there. A little while later he drives the car up to the glass and nudges it, and then reverses a bit and puts his foot down. "He went through a low brick wall and then through the glass and smashed into a till and went about 15 feet into the store."

Jonathan James Sweat, an 18-year-old Florida man was arrested Tuesday after smoking marijuana and then crashing his vehicle into the State Attorney's Office. He then informed officers he couldn't be arrested for DUI because he was high, not drunk.
According to Gainesville police, Sweat crashed his Ford Ranger into a large window at the State Attorney's office while under the influence of marijuana.
A police officer at the scene conducted three field sobriety tests which Sweat reportedly failed. Sweat was then taken to the police station for observation and to complete a breath test. Since Sweat had not been drinking, the breath test was negative.
It was then investigators say Sweat informed them they weren't "going to be able to arrest him for DUI because he hadn't been drinking. He then stated that all he did was smoke some marijuana," according to the arrest report.
Sweat was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but refused to cooperate with medical staff, according to the arrest report.
He was booked into the Alachua County Jail on charges of driving under the influence and property damage, He has since been released after posting bond.

Dan Riley was bantering with customers this morning at Riley’s Bakery - a normal Friday morning happening, except for the fact that part of the business had been pushed in hours earlier by an out-of-control car.
“The police called me at about 11 last night and told me somebody drove through the front of Riley’s,” he said. “I said, ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’ ”
Fifteen minutes after getting the call, he saw what the Bowling Green Police Department encountered - a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro partially inside his business on U.S. 31-W By-Pass.
Riley said chunks of brick, glass and mortar were strewn about the inside of the store near where the car came to a stop, and a display case containing models of wedding cakes was damaged. He estimated the damage at about $50,000, according to a city police report.
“I guess (the driver) felt like I needed a drive-through window and I didn’t have one ... I’m thankful that the driver wasn’t hurt, though, that’s the important thing,” Riley said. “Heck, I’m 72, I’ve been through it all ... we’ll get it repaired.”
The driver, Jason Ray Parker, 34, 1612 McClintock Court, was arrested Thursday and charged with first-degree criminal mischief and driving under the influence, according to a city police arrest report.
The report stated that long skid marks led from Lain Avenue to the site of the crash. The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro crashed through a window on the right side of the building near the front entrance.
Parker allegedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.219; the legal limit for drivers is 0.08. After being arrested, he allegedly said that he shouldn’t have been driving and apologized. He remains in Warren County Regional Jail without bond.
