Taylor Swift Smashes Gorgeous Guy’s Car In New Blank Space Video
Taylor Swift Blank Space Video Car
The Internet has been all worked up today over the beautiful man in Taylor Swift’s latest music video for her new single Blank Space. The guy in Taylor Swift’s Blank Space Music Video is male model, Sean O’Pry, but the real sight we all need to take in is the car.
The video depicts a short lived romance between Ms. Swift and her gorgeous suitor who is apparently, “new money.” Obviously, this dude is loaded with cash because in the video he is driving a vintage Shelby Cobra convertible (possibly a ‘66? Yell at me in the comments if I’m wrong).
Unfortunately for O’Pry, the relationship ends badly after he’s texting another girl who wanted a piece of the Pry.
Eventually, Swift does her best Walter Sobchak and smashes the shit out of the classic muscle car. Don’t worry, our girl T-Swizzle clearly states that no automobiles were harmed in the making of the video and CGI was used to make the car look like it fell victim to Swift’s fury. In the end, O’Pry drives out of his mansion with a Jaguar as handsome as his fricken face, so he’s going to be okay.

Fast forward to the 2:57 mark if you only care about the car in Taylor Swift’s Blank Space video. But you aren’t fooling anyone, you’ll listen to the whole thing on your drive home.

The Most Interesting Aspects of the Dodge Demon
Many of us thought that the Dodge Challenger Hellcat was about as intimidating as a car could get. After all, people couldn’t hardly get them off the lot without crashing them when they first came out. Then Dodge upped the ante with the new Demon. But aside from the raw power, there are some other interesting aspects of the new Demon.
Check out the video below for a full rundown of just how unique this car is.

Mercedes Names May Be Getting More Confusing
Think you finally have your Mercedes names mastered? Well, a new challenge appears to be coming, friend.
How to now identify Mercedes models by name
Some moves in the northwoods of Canada by the brand appear to signal a change in the naming conventions that will be used for Mercedes and AMG models. Candian trademarks have been filed for A 40, CLA 40, SLC 40, SLC 50 and GLE 50 in addition to CLA 53, G73 and S73.
If this proves true in the states, it would signal an end to the rule of two digits for Mercedes, three-digits for AMG counterparts. The new world would be two digits, ending in a “0” for Mercedes, and two digits ending in a “3” for AMG. This supports rumors of an AMG ‘73’ model with a hybrid powertrain.
While this change isn’t terribly difficult to comprehend, it certainly makes things interesting when comparing legacy and upcoming Mercedes models. There are a lot of numbers to keep straight, and a lot of explaining to do. And the letter and number combos leave something to be desired in terms of cachet.
It makes one appreciate the simplicity of giving each vehicle an actual name, like the domestic manufacturers do. Sure, that’s how we ended up with the Chevy Nova, but what are you going to do? There are only so many names, surely one for an automobile would end up meaning “no go” in some language, right?…

What’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern?
I like my car. It’s a 2011 Toyota toaster, I mean Camry. If you made a list of everything a car has to do, the Camry would check all the boxes. It gets me from point A to point B with the consistency a learning golfer would envy. It’s a toaster. You put in the bread, choose your level of toastiness, push down the thingy and then wait for it to pop up. But there is one interesting thing about my car. The shifter. That’s it up there. That is definitely not conventional at all. So, what’s with Toyota’s weird shifter pattern? (more…)
