Jon Stewart Explains The Big Three Bailout

Suzanne from RideLust.com has compiled a list of the 20 Most Incredible Cartoon Cars Of All Time. How cool! There are a few missing, sure, but the post brought back some old memories of cartoon past.

Check out 20 Most Incredible Cartoon Cars Of All Time at Ridelust.com for the list.

Replica cars are, for the most part, meant to fool people into thinking you’re driving the real thing, so you can save some money. Look, I’m all for people doing crazy shit to cars and being innovative, but let’s be reasonable. Who is this going to fool? I don’t even feel right calling this a Lamborghini replica.

Built off of a 2008 Pontiac Solstice chassis, at least it’s a step up from the typical Fiero kit cars. And to this person’s credit, it looks like the build was actually done very well with good craftsmanship. But saying that this looks like a Murcielago is blasphemy.

And for $70,000? It’s a nice build, but keep in mind you’re just buying a Pontiac Solstice in a Lamborghini costume. Continue Reading…

So, seems there’s this guy, it wold seem a British guy, driving around in Germany who is avoiding traffic-cam citations by, er, using a Muppet head (see photo).

Sez der German polizei:

“The number plate is not enough. We need clear evidence of who is driving the vehicle too.”

“But because this is a British vehicle we can never get a decent picture. The driver has obviously worked this out because he has placed a large puppet in the passenger seat.

“This may be an example of the famous British sense of humour but it is still dangerous driving. The driver has been caught on camera on several occasions and the puppet is on the passenger seat every time. We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera.”

I love that last line: “We suspect he positions the toy deliberately before accelerating past the camera.”

Blatant, premeditated Muppet use your honor! J’accuse! J’accuse!

Oh dear God … now’s when my hope for humanity dims a little further.

TruckNtuz were bad enough, but making them light up? Every time you hit the binders?

You’d do this on purpose?

Then again, now that I think about it, if you could wire these things up and mount them quickly, they’d be a heckofa funny practical joke. Jeez, if I lived closer to Chris (King of All Automoblog), I’d hang a pair on his Lambo … OK, Chris doesn’t have a Lambo. But one day he will (oh yes, one day he will), and on that day, after begging a ride, and getting beaten up while trying to lift his keys, I’ll hang a pair of BrakeNutz of the back.

You have been warned, but now, back to the problem at hand.

I see two things:

1 - Since they light up, it’ll make the morons easier to spot, even at night. And,

2 - We will have a list of those who buy them. Their names will be noted, and when The Revolution comes … well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Oh, and I know what you’re thinking, “But Tony, if you buy a pair to play a joke on Chris, won’t YOU be on that list?”

No, Rusty Shackleford will be on that list.
