Many people would do just about anything to get something that was once owned by a celebrity, but what this man — and we use the term “man” loosely — did is beyond imagination. Eighteen-year-old Jameson Witty took it upon himself to to own a piece of the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT involved in Paul Walker’s fatal accident. According to the reports, Witty and an accomplice followed the tow truck that scooped up the Porsche’s remains and stole the Carrera’s roof panel (pictured above) while the truck was stopped at a red light. That, folks, is not only stealing, but it is also interfering with a police investigation and tampering with evidence. Witty was arrested at his residence in California were the police found the red roof panel, and will have the risk of being charged with felony grand theft.

Ford has finally taken the covers off its redesigned, sixth-generation Mustang but the Blue Oval hasn’t revealed all the details just yet. In fact, the car’s chief engineer Dave Pericak has revealed that Ford is holding back on releasing details for some exciting new features found on the 2015 Mustang, one of which will be an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) first. There are a myriad of possibilities for this ‘secret’ feature but one possibility that would prove interesting is a system that could help drivers execute the perfect burnout, just as current launch control systems help drivers get off the line perfectly. The secret will be revealed by the end of next month as that is when Ford will be officially presenting the car at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.

This is the only shot Infiniti has released so far, but the new LEDs and carbon fiber chin and cheekbones are readily apparent. The fastest Q50 now is the hybrid, with a 3.5-liter V6 and electric motor putting out 360 horses. Infiniti says it’s named the Eau Rogue after the famous Spa-Francorchamps Formula One track corner, probably because it’s “F1-inspired” in the way most of the company’s cars seem to be these days.
