Well, I think we all hoped it would happen and many figured it would. Turn 10 has decided to release a Porsche DLC featuring 30 cars. We don’t exactly what’s in the pack yet but you can expect a whole slew of 911s and race cars.

Forza Horizon: What We Know So Far
For years there has been talk of an open world Forza game and this just may be it. Earlier this weekend a “teaser” was leaked for Forza Horizon which is a new game to be released later this year.
As you can see the trailer doesn’t tell us a whole lot, but what we do see are Porsches. Now….. let’s not get ahead of ourselves because this is just a teaser but could this mean Porsche fans’ long Forza nightmare is over and we might finally get more of the fabled German cars in the next installment?
Ok, back to what we do know. An interview with Sebull who is responsible for Forza Horizon is telling us that Microsoft has decided they need a Forza every year instead of two. So, Sebull will take the even years, and T10 the odd years. They also hint that the T10 games will remain the same Forza we know and love while they are pretty mum on what we will see from Sebull. We are told tomorrow at GDC Forza Horizon will be officially unvieled. Now we don’t know if that means we will get details tomorrow or just the video posted above officially revealed. As we learn more you can bet I-G will be on top of it.

Profile: Plymouth Road Runner Superbird
The muscle car era saw it’s fair share of characters, but none more wild then the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird. The Superbird was Plymouth’s version of the 1969 Dodge Daytona Charger and while the two were very similar, they were very different as well. The Superbird was more smoothed out and refined then the Daytona Charger with a nose cone on the street version that would accommodate the pop out headlights; which was some 19 inches longer then the original Daytona. The story of the Superbird’s huge wing was shrouded in mystery for years only to have a much simpler reasoning.
Hit the jump for more on the Superbird.

Should America dim lights on highways at night to save some energy.
According to the BBC the UK is considering dimming lights on their roadway network to save money. This would also save energy and energy is going to be the hot topic of the next century.
This got me thinking, should we do that here? I’ve long thought that many of the lights we have in our towns and highways are just a waste on energy and money. Not to mention it causes light pollution which ruins the view of the night sky. I’ll bet many of you have never seen the Milky Way because of all the light pollution. Of course some of these lights are on for safety reasons but do we really need all of them? The ones on the interchanges are particularly superfluous to me. Cars have lights, the interstates have reflectors to mark lanes and turn lanes so it would seem to me we don’t need the big over head lights. I’m not exactly a tree hugging hippie, but I also believe in conserving when you can. So maybe we could use this as a jump off point to start talking about these sort of things to make the world a better place with cars.
