Ford Mustang cars recall for air bag software update

470K Ford Mustang sports cars recalled, air bag software update

It is under 3 months since Ford Motor Co recalled 1.2 mil trucks and SUVs due to a faulty sensor and today we are hearing that there is a Ford recall for 470,000 Mustangs in the US.

The sports cars have been recalled due to a much needed air bag software update that will adjust the force with which the passenger side airbag deploys, the models affected are from 2005-2008.

Just Auto said “the recall come about after an internal test found that the air bags could injure a small passenger not wearing a seat belt”.

Hulk Hogan Affair With Daughter's Friend

The Hogan divorce has turned quite ugly and, although I had originally hoped Hulk Hogan and Linda would find their way through this tough time, it's not looking like it's moving in that direction.

I'm disappointed to tell you that Hulk is being outed for having an alleged affair with one of his daughter's good friends! The dalliance, with a girl who was working with Brooke Hogan on her last album, supposedly took place last year, while the family was filming Hogan knows Best.

Where was the footage of that?

Anyway, the chick has sold her story to The National Enquirer.

"My relationship with Terry [Hulk Hogan] began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending," Christiane Plante, 33, told the rag. "She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong."

"Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend."

Brooke is reportedly completely torn up about this, while Linda is probably nursing her broken heart, by counting all the cash she is about to get from the wrestler.

Legend Boyd Coddington Dies

Boyd Coddington, the "King of Hot Rods", has died. Coddington, who was a long-time diabetic, died at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier, Calif. at 6:20 a.m. Wednesday. His death was due to complications brought on from a recent surgery. He was 63.

Coddington died at Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital in suburban Whittier at 6:20 a.m. Wednesday. His La Habra office spokeswoman Amanda Curry wouldn't disclose the cause of death.

Coddington, who started building cars when he was 13 and once operated a gas station in Utah, set a standard for his workmanship and creativity, with his popular "Cadzilla" creation considered a design masterpiece. The customized car based on a 1950s Cadillac was built for rocker Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.

"That was a groundbreaking car. Very cool," said Dick Messer, executive director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

"This was your modern era George Barris," Messer said. "He did things to hot rods and customs that weren't being done by anyone else. But the main thing is he designed cars that were drivable."

Coddington was a machinist by trade, working at Disneyland during the day and tinkering with cars in his home garage at night and on weekends. His rolling creations captured the imagination of car-crazy Southern Californians and soon he was building custom cars and making money.

Most often, he customized 1932 Ford "little deuce coupes."

"It was one of those things when a hobby turned into business," Messer said, noting Coddington was also "one of the first guys to get into the custom wheel business."

Wheels by Boyd were fetching $2,000 apiece, which was unheard of two decades ago.

Coddington also surrounded himself with talent. Alumni from his shop include Jesse James and Chip Foose, who went on to open their own shops and star in reality TV shows.

Coddington twice won the Daimler-Chrysler Design Excellence Award and he was inducted into the Grand National Roadster Show Hall of Fame, the National Rod & Custom Museum Hall of Fame and the Route 66 Wall of Fame.

Always dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, Coddington said he loved his "American Hot Rod" Discovery Channel show, which featured ground-up construction of $500,000 hot rods.

"The viewers are ... people who lived in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s and loved these cars. Now, they have money," Coddington told The Associated Press in a 2004 interview.

CZW adds Brain Damage vs. Insane Lane

CZW adds Brain Damage vs. Insane Lane for 3/8 in Philly

Brain Damage to defend title against an INSANE challenger at "Lights, Camera, CZW..."

At "9 F'N Years", Brain Damage almost looked human. The cyborg suffered the first major loss of his CZW career at the hands of Drake Younger in one of the bloodiest matches of the Combat Zone's nine year existence. In doing so, he lost his Ultraviolent Underground Title, and the aura of invicibility that has surrounded him since returning to CZW.

CZWNews has just learned that Brain Damage could lose more on March 8th, as he is set to defend his Iron Man Championship against the returning deathmatch specialist, and all-around psycho - INSANE LANE.

Through his appearances in the Tournament of Death, and other major Deathmatch tournaments, the bizarre challenger has literally carved a name for himself as one of the most dangerous competitors in the world. Hailing from "The DEEP South", Insane Lane comes to "Lights, Camera, CZW..." with the biggest opportunity, and challenge of his career at hand.

Next Saturday, Brain Damage will face a great opportunity of his own. The usually indestructible cyborg comes into March 8th's event with a need to destroy something...anything. Brain Damage isn't used to the feeling of uncertainty or doubt when it comes to his fate in the ring. The Iron Man Champion will likely look take out his Ultraviolent frustrations on Insane Lane, all while defending his gold and looking towards reclaiming his role as the baddest motherfucker in all of CZW.

Stipulations for this contest have yet to be determined, but as always, Lobo promises to keep the CZW fans informed if and when a decision is reached. CZW returns to South Philly and the New Alhambra Arena on March 8th for "Lights, Camera, CZW..." Tickets are still available and can be purchased on the day of the show at the New Alhambra box office.

Boston Globe & Super Bowl Loss

Maybe Boston has had too much unexpected success for the Red Sox lately, so it was due for a football upset. It came with the New York Giants' stunning last-minute defeat of the "hometown" Patriots in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The chief Boston Globe headline reads: HISTORY DERAILED. Dan Shaughnessy, the well-known sports writer, kicks off his report as follows.
*
There’ll no Hub parade on Super Tuesday. No commemorative books about ‘‘Path to Perfection.’’ In New England, the churchbells all are broken.

Two-touchdown favorites and touted as possibly the greatest football team of all-time, the Patriots were beaten by the New York Giants, 17-14, in Super Bowl XLII last night at University of Phoenix Stadium. Twenty three hundred miles from Foxborough, an 18-0 season dissolved when New York’s Eli Manning found Plexico Burress in the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds left on the clock.

The Patriots lost the Super Bowl. It is an alternate universive. It does not compute. It’s like hearing Tony Bennett singing, ‘‘I Left My Heart in Ashtabula,’’ or seeing a photo of Mitt Romney with his hair messed up.
