John Schneider’s General Lee sold for $450,000 yesterday at the Barrett Jackson Auto Auction in Scottsdale, AZ.

“Bo’s General Lee,” built by John Schneider for the Dukes reunion movies and also featured in his movie “Collier & Co. Hot Persuit!” will be one of the featured cars to be auctioned tomorrow at the Barrett Jackson Scottsdale ’08 Auto Auction.

Check out the auction listing here.

In our humble opinion, one of the most prized cars in the auction!

Blame The Dukes of Hazzard for this one; Jessica Simpson is officially going country. Desperate for a return to the limelight, Jessica has embraced country music as her best chance of getting back on the charts.

Jessica reportedly felt inspired after her role as Daisy Duke in the 2005 Dukes of Hazzard big-screen movie. Her hit single, “These Boots Are Made for Walkin'”, was musically unremarkable, but it was successful as a music video. (not because of her singing, either.)

While all Dukes fans know that it was the General Lee’s appearance that made the video, Jessica feels she has a “fan base” waiting for her in country music. Columbia Records is the lucky label carrying her freshman effort, and you can expect to try and avoid it in stores later this year.

Whatever her musical assets, Jessica Simpson may be correct in the assumption that country music will provide her a new audience. Her recognizable name alone (among other things) will assure her new music videos plenty of air time. Whether she can deliver a true vocal performance, however, and not just a two-minute peep show, remains to be seen.

Thirteen deputies with the Hernando County (FL) Sheriff’s Department were suspended in December for violating just about every element in their department’s pursuit policy during a chase.

13 Deputies Disciplined for Car Chase

Now, either the county updated the traning manuals and began to implement the concepts from “Hot Pursuit! Procedures forPutting the Pedal to the Metal for Chasing the Bad Guys!” complied by somebody named R. Coltrane, a former Sheriff, OR somebody’s been watching too many reruns of the Dukes of Hazzard! The only thing missing was for one of the deputies to send his patrol car into a pond!
