Mercedes-Benz ML-Class Tuning...

When we first saw this picture at our Dutch pals over at Autoblog.nl our initial thought was a Suzuki Ignis based Mercedes ML-Class replica. However, a closer look at the image provided reveals that this ghastly creation could actually be an… original ML-Class! Whatever it is, it's bad and someone in Belgium should take action and take this “thing” off the road.

Chocolate Covered Jeep: Lick It And Win It...

It could have been worse; like those poor fellas that were sucking nipples off a Chevy in a Chinese contest a couple of weeks ago (click here). The Jeep event, which will take place on Thursday, Oct. 18, 2007, at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio, will see seven contestants licking their way through one of seven chocolate-covered Jeep vehicles, representing each of the models in the brand’s line-up. The first two to lick their way through the layers of chocolate will be forwarded to a 2008 Jeep Liberty (Cherokee in Europe), filled with 25,000 pieces of wrapped candy. The first one to discover the keys hidden somewhere in-between the candy, will win the Liberty. -Press release after the jump

Here’s How They Promote Soft-Drinks In Budapest

You’re in you car, jammed in traffic somewhere in the city of Budapest, Hungary. Your wife or girlfriend (it doesn’t make any difference…) is nagging about something -you never quite understand about what and why, but she’s nagging, when all of a sudden you see a yummy-mummy topless Eastern European model dressed in… bodypaint offering you a Kofola (carbonated soft drink produced in the Czech Republic and Slovakia). What do you do? (More images after the jump)
  1. Throw out your female companion and invite the model for a drink at your house
  2. Throw out your female companion and invite the model for a drink at her house
  3. Throw out your female companion and invite the model for a drink at your friend’s house

Lamborghini Countach Wire-Frame Pedal Car!

As if a wire-frame, Lamborghini Countach isn’t a bizarre spectacle on its own, this one can also be driven by the use of pedals! We don’t know how comfortable those wire-framed seats are or how difficult it is to drive or steer the wire-framed Countach, but one thing’s for certain; you’re definitely going more attention that you bargained for. -Continued after the jump

Gay Peacock Shagged A Lexus...

A male peacock attempted to hump a blue Lexus in the UK causing thousands of dollars worth of damage to the luxury car due to the numerous scratches and… love bites he left on it as a reminder of his lust. Apparently you’re wondering why we characterized the peacock as “gay”. Well, as Sir Benjamin Slade, the British owner of the peacock explained, peahens (“female peacocks”) are brown and his feathered friend is only attracted to blue cars, so evidently he’s gay. The Brit aristocrat has no doubts whatsoever about his peacock’s sexual preferences as he named it after Ron Davies, a former bisexual Welsh Secretary. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Top Gear’s American Road Trip


In this episode which is actually more like a mini-film, Top Gear presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May head to the States in order to drive from Miami to New Orleans. The catch? Well, each was given $1,000 budget in order to buy a car. Clarkson picked out a Chevy Camaro RS, Hammond bought himself a Dodge Ram pickup truck and May, a Cadillac Brougham. We won’t spoil the fun by telling you what happened. After you finish watching the video above follow the jump to check out the rest of the episode. -Continued

Chevrolet Aveo Nipple-Sucking Contest In China!

Wow; who’d ever believe that Chevy’s are so popular in China! Well, either that or something’s definitely wrong with the 120 people that took part in a Chinese Mall’s kissing endurance competition in Beijing. In a nutshell, the participants had to put their lips on the silica gel nipples attached to a Chevrolet Lova (Aveo) without touching it with any other part of their bodies (...). The winner would receive a brand-new Chevy Aveo as a prize. The 120 contestants who took part had to do this for 24-hours taking a mere two 10-minute breaks in the course. -Continued after the jump

After 24 hours, only six contestants were standing or rather sitting, so to speed things up, the coordinators of the event made them suck the Aveo’s nipple add-ons standing on one foot. 27 hours and 40 minutes after the competition had began, real estate saleswoman Zhang Chunying was the only one left sucking the nipples –I’m just dying to make a remark, but I’ll restrain myself… Chunying was so exhausted by her one-night stand with the Aveo that she had to be carried away –sounds like the Aveo and I have a lot in common when it comes to chicks...

Cell Phone & Cars Equals Trouble...

No wonder Arnie doesn’t want anyone –especially teenagers (click here) to use cell-phones in their cars... Can you think of a better reason to ban those "devilish" machines in vehicles than this cell-phone related accident caused in Russia?

Teen Lowers Mitsubishi Lancer The Cheap Way...

There’re several ways to lower you car, starting off by cutting the springs. However that’s not the case with a 15-year-old youth that was apprehended by New Zealand cops. Wanna know how the teen lowered his early-model Mitsubishi Lancer? Well, he simply filled his boot with rocks! As if driving an unsafe car wasn’t enough, the cops discovered that the vehicle was unwarranted and unregistered. Oh yeah, it also didn’t belong to the driver nor his mature (…) 27-year-old passenger.

Pic Of The Day: VW Tube.

Wouldn’t it just make you day if you took a train looking like a VW Bus in the metro every morning? Even better, we’d really dig seeing themed VW Tubes -like flower power, Andy Warhol, Pimp My Ride etc. Think any one would listen to us if we were to sell the idea?

2008 Audi TT El Camino – Credits Go To Danish Taxation System

Here’s what happens when you charge outrageously insane taxes on new cars: people turn passenger cars into trucks! Denmark features one of the most outrageous taxation systems in the world when it comes to cars (see our report on the European car taxation system by clicking here). There’s even a common saying in Denmark: “Get one car –pay for three”! So, in order to get around the tax burden, Danes turn cars into pickups, thus paying a fraction of the taxes.

We visited Audi’s official Denmark site to see the price-list of the 2008 Audi TT Coupe. Boy were we in for a surprise: prices start at 637,895 DK (Danish Krones) or $120,500 / €85,500 for the TT 2.0 TFSI 6-speed and go up to 805,492 DK or $152,200 / €108,100 for the TT 3.2 V6 FSi! No wonder people turn Audi TT’s into pick ups! PS: You have to look at Eurobiler’s (the company that converts TT’s Coupes to El Caminos) press photos. -Continued after the jump

Lamborghini Murcielago Taxi...

Mmm, I wonder; is this cab company hiring? I’d be more than glad to work for the minimum wage, with no health insurance and bonuses… Of course this picture could be a taxi-driver’s hoax but if it were real, wouldn’t you want to work in a cab like this?

Motorcyclist’s Pecker Struck By Lightning!

We didn’t even know that this was possible, and to be frank, we’re still a bit hesitant to believe it. However, when you think about it, it’s down right hilarious so what the hell, we’ll just tell you the story and it’s up to you to believe it or not. So, according to various reports, Croatian biker, Ante Djindjic, 29, from Zagreb got penis-struck by lightning when he stopped beside the road to do his wee-wee. Here’s what Djindjic claimed:

"I don't remember what happened. One minute I was taking a leak and the next thing I knew I was in hospital. Doctors said the lightning went through my body and because I was wearing rubber boots it earthed itself through my penis. Thankfully, the doctors said that there would be no lasting effects, and my penis will function normally eventually."

Why Honda Didn’t Call The Fit - Jazz By Its Intended Name...

Since we found out why by one of our readers in a comment he left on our 2008 Honda Jazz / Fit article, we thought it’d be only fair to post the comment as is:

"You know why they didn't call the Honda Jazz/Fit by its intended name?

Honda had originally planned to name the first-gen the Honda Fitta. Probably sounds ok to you? If you were in Scandinavia though that would be the same as calling the car “the Honda Pussy”!

That's why they chose to call it the Honda Jazz in Europe but modified the original name slightly to Honda Fit in the US (Honda deemed Fit to be too close to the original name in Scandinavia). Honda had even made the brochures and the slogan for the model when the name problem was discovered.

The slogan: “Small on the outside but big on the inside”. Just imagine the adverts for that car in Scandinavia: Honda Fitta (Pussy). Small on the outside but big on the inside!"

Video: Jeep Wrangler Burnout - Literally...


Why would someone do something like this? If you’re seeking for an answer to our previous question, it’s because there are some folks out there just like us who find pointless and sometimes even immaturely stupid stunts like these very, very amusing. As simple as that.

Moo... Pet MINI Covered In Cow Skin

Now here’s a MINI we’d call a real animal –literally, since the revamped British hatch has been covered from tip to toe with real cow skin. And all for the name of art and… marketing as the cow-skin MINI has been created by Bisazza, an Italian design company, with the official blessings from MINI Switzerland.

The car, which bears the nickname “Pet MINI”, will premiere at the in Zurich-Oerlicon's upcoming New Spaces exhibition, along with a Le Corbusier Chaise Longue that can be seen in the pics after the jump. According to MINI Switzerland’s Director of Communications, Claudine Hatebur de Calderón, the idea behind the Pet MINI was to create a piece of art that visitors would also like to touch and stroke. We hope they’ll stop at that –one never knows what to expect from people in these frantic times. PS: We've added the official French press release translated to English for apparent reasons –check it out and you’ll see -Click “Read More…” Below

French Press Release Translated

“The fart MINI” First world with the “neue räume 07” in Zurich.

For the first time, “MINI The fart” will be presented at the press and the public during the exposure “neue räume 07”. This single model could be admired in first world in market ABB 550 of Zurich-Oerlikon, with the Long Chair of Corbusier, Jeanneret and Perriand.

After having taken part in the “neue räume 05” with his Bisazza MINIS, MINI Schweiz creates the surprise with the Living room of the piece of furniture and the design of this year by presenting “MINI The fart”.

Whereas the Clubman MINIS cannot be exposed yet to this living room because of its date of launching on the market (10.11.2007), a very particular idea came to mind from Claudine Hatebur de Calderón, director of the communication of MINIS: “MINI The fart” - MINIS treated in extremely original objet d'art, with touching and cherishing. The MINIS and the Long Chair join together a style and an elegance of very high level and are appropriate thus remarkably for “new spaces 07” - pilot contemporary art of our time.

The idea which found its origin with the MINIS in exclusive costume carrying the mark of the Italian life style Bisazza develops now with the MINIS animal. Five noble skins of exceptional quality decorate “MINI The fart” and make of it a single design object. They are here skins of bulls and cows Norman, which do not present any grain.

For the work of saddlery, we could ensure us the collaboration of the company Mr. Pescha + Sohn AG, in Muttenz, workshop of automobile garnishing good known for its work of restoration of oldtimers.

The great challenge for this company consisted in accentuating the edges and contours of the MINIS, while combining in an ideal way the various nuances of the skins. To cover round surfaces, concave and convex of the body of the MINIS, the skins had to be softened and formatted during a whole night. It was thus possible to cover the elements like the back spoiler and the external rear view mirrors without resorting to any seam. The lines speak about themselves and, as for the Long Chair, one concentrates thus on essence.


Souped-Up Firefox Celica Appears At "Firefox Rock Festival"


If someone ever made a remake of the film “Revenge of the nerds”, we seriously doubt that they’d find a more appropriate star than this souped-up Toyota Celica in Firefox guise. The geeky Celica premiered at the Mozilla 24 "Firefox Rock Festival" in Tokyo on Sept. 15th and according to the attendees, it will go on to compete in the largest all-Japan custom car show in Nagoya later in September. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below Read more »

Chevy Driver Supports Wild Sex Led To Crash

Ok, we’ve heard hundreds of excuses to as why someone crashed his vehicle but this one beat’s them all. Joshua D. Frank blamed a sexy couple sitting in the rear seat of his Chevy S-10 Blazer for an accident in which he struck a telephone pole in downtown Moscow, Russia. You’d expect that the 22-year-old carnival worker would tell police that he was distracted by his friends close encounter but guess again; Frank actually told Moscow Police Department officers that he lost control of the Chevy because it became “tippy” once his friends…shoved the pedal to the metal!
