While there is nothing new about seeing posters and ads plastered in and around public transportation, it’s not often that you would expect to see a video running on the wall just outside the window.  It’s currently being tested in LA, the system consists of a whole bunch of LED lights that light up at a timed interval, based on the train’s speed, giving you a “moving” picture.  Pretty cool.

Oh wow.  Smoked.  I am pretty sure this is the cardomain page for that car…assuming you want to read more.

Thanks to JK for the tip on this one.  There have been some interesting Google street view images, drug deals, thongs, etc.  Google usually quickly catches on and dumps them.  Spotted here is Homewood, IL, finest.  Or something like that.

So I posted this initially, just some pictures with little detail beyond the fact that speeding and Integra and a tree don’t mix all that well.  Well here is a bit of an update.  A young couple was traveling at ohhhh, 140mph.  ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY miles per hour.  On a public road.  At that speed, the rear tire blew out.  The girl lost control of the ITR and veered off the road and INTO A FREAKING TREE at ONE HUNDRED miles per hour.

They shouldn’t be alive.  But they are.  Which is good, because they have a young daughter, who thankfully wasn’t in the car.  Here’s the other part of the story…they didn’t have insurance.  SERIOUSLY, WTF!?  FYI, don’t buy Tenzo R seats or pimp your car out if you aren’t going to pay insurance.

I feel bad for them.  Yeah it sucks, they are both in the hospital recovering.  But if they had blown a tire at 140mph and nailed a family in a van, I am sure I would be a lot less compassionate.

Please don’t drive like a dumb ass.  K, thanks.

Thanks to Ryan for the tip on this.  Spotted on a tech blog, is the top ten lists of worst car names.  Ever.  As everyone can imagine, the Nova was up there for the whole, “no go” thing.  But there are some other pretty funny ones which translate into either, “self enjoyment” or “slang terms for female parts.”

What you are looking at is the most bad ass version of the Veyron.  The Bugatti Veyron Sang Noir.  It’s apparently an an homage to the Bugatti Atlantique 57.  Only four of these were made, this one was spotted in Santa Monica.  Sang Noir, translates to “black blood.”  What is so special about this car, minus the fact that it is blacked out?  Well, I don’t know.  Our friends at autogespot, have a few more pictures on their site.

Bart found these, who knows where, I am sure he ripped them off.  So, if you took these photos, shoot me an email and I will credit you.  What you are seeing here, is #1 of 20 Reventon.  It’s coming from VW’s Lambroghini’s plant in Mexico Italy and being delivered to Lambo of Las Vegas.  Judging by the cargo shorts and the dark socks, there also appears to be a Canadian present at the delivery.

Some local (Minneapolis) hooligans were out cruising in their GS-R when they lost control of the vehicle at a high rate of speed.  The car then went Axe Men on a tree and splintered the car in half.  Remarkably, the occupants are somehow still alive.  I would think high rates of speed + Tenzo R seats would /= survival.  But somehow, in this instance they ended up all right.  For the love of everything good and holy, be careful out there.
