Oh, nevermind, this is the video I was thinking of. The Rocky theme makes it better, not worse.

Hope all those people with the Penske trucks paid for that insurance.

Someone on here needs to get hired as will.i.am's shop supervisor and start every future project with an HHR, PT Cruiser, SSR, or Prowler.

I know, I'm saying the base of each of his horrible chopped up poo poo boxes should be something we all hate anyways. It doesn't really matter what you start with if you're going to be chopping it up that much and making it look like hammered poo poo in the end.

I think I could deal with cutting up the vehicles I listed every day to make them into really horrible cars for the dude, and I wouldn't even complain because getting paid that much to ruin PT Cruisers would be well worth it.

Hell, you'll do that now- for free. I'd love to see what sort of hi-jinks you'd get up to with deep pockets and virtually no responsibility. It'd probably end up like Davidsfarm. Only, less pedophilia.

Now I am no expert on american cars(being from eastern Europe and all) so forgive me if this is nothing really awful, it just looked kind of dumb to me.

A friend of mine was on a ride along with SPD when they pulled over a Audi R8(this was right when they were released) for driving at 5mph through downtown seattle. The drivers excuse? "I just got this and want to make sure everyone sees me" He got a ticket for obstructing traffic.

On my very first visit to Estonia, I stayed at a norwegian dude for two weeks borrowing his couch. For the whole duration, there was a Pontiac 6000 parked right outside his apartment. Lada, Volga, ZAZ, Pontiac. One of these is not like the other.

I can't decide if this or the "put rhinestone numbers that say how big my rimzzzzz are on the fenders next to them" thing we have in the states is the more hilarious automotive cock-measuring method.

You're right, I really shouldn't have called him a rapper.

What the hell do we call him?

my friend was out driving on some country road somewhere in Cornwall recently, and got to enjoy the sound and sight of a Zonda howling from behind, past, and on into the distance. A little later she came upon it again, smoking by the side of the road.

Šiauliai, the particular residential area is actually really near Zokniai Airbase where NATO pilots are often stationed, that includes USAF and that could be a way this thing got here, or it could have changed hands 15 times from Portugal all the way trough Germany and Poland and ended up in a local car market here.

Look harder at the exhaust.

e: It's a sand rail with forward facing exhausts. They will be full of debris (specifically, sand) in no time, and exhausts that are full of sand don't really lend themselves to fantastic performance.
