Acura ILX, Ford B-Max Image, Bad Pool Day, & MORE Superbowl Commercials!

Rocky — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:41:00 +0000

Acura is all, OK well make cool looking cars again, and they show us the new ILX. Ford makes a B-Max but will America get it? Also, some dude has a very unfortunate accident with his new car (well it was new to him) that you only see in the movies (apparently). Plus more Superbowl Ads released, of course they are released, why wouldn’t they release them before they are actually suppose to be released. That’s all today on Fast Lane Daily hosted by Derek D, who didn’t see his shadow this morning!

Which Ford Mustang is most popular with thieves? [w/video]

We’d guess a thief’s favorite Ford Mustang is whichever one he happens to be hooning around in – ahead of either illegally selling it, stripping it for parts or falsifying its VIN to pass it off as a legit car. But the ‘Stang that’s attracted the most attention from this scourge of society is none other than the 2000 Mustang.

While we’re not sure what it is about the venerable Ford pony car in that model year that’s caused it to rise to the top of the inaugural National Insurance Crime Bureau “Hot Wheels Classics” report on Mustangs, we are finding the study to be compelling reading. Who knew that 411,155 Mustangs have been stolen since 1981? The report is similar to NICB’s annual report on the most stolen cars, but focused on just Mustang thefts, with data dating all the way back to 1964. Apparently NICB got the idea to do a Mustang-centric report after being asked for data from MustangEvolution last year.

Even more interesting than the report, however, is that NICB has also posted a six-minute documentary about how it helped reunite a Shelby GT350 with its rightful owner some 25 years after the car had been stolen. While not exactly part of the report, the video is a pretty cool showpiece for the nonprofit group that investigates car theft and insurance fraud.
