One of our readers in Atlanta spotted this gem of backyard/redneck engineering, while he was visiting the local parts store.  The VW guys will love the opposite drive staggered wheels and the “poke.”  All in all, this is a pretty sweet Caravan.  I love that he utilized the hatch as the back of the “cab.”  Sheer genius.

Sure, you could have just placed your crusty Hot Wheels on a sheet.  Or a table.  Or a desk.  But what fun would that be?  According the the ebay’er, “both are great fun.”  I am venturing a guess that there MAY be some innuendo in that statement.  Further, the model is single, but does not come with sale.  Here’s to staying classy.  For those hoping for a closer inspection on the pair, check out the auction.

I think Reno 911 is one of the funniest television shows on the air (Arrested Development was the only other one close to that).  I was watching an episode from 2007 last night.  And Jr. stopped a girl for alleged street racing.  Hilarity ensues.  Enjoy!

Spotted this excellent example of a 240sx as I walked to get lunch. What did I have you ask? Spinach salad with walnuts and strawberries. Anyways, this fine specimen had a cleave monster plastered on the hood along with a bunch of other sweet stickers. Few more pictures below. Oh and also spotted was a sick looking MB CL.

Oops.  Fail.  Payam Sabo drove out on the beach (illegally) to watch the sunrise in his 2008 Cadillac Escalade (great gas mileage).  As the tide began to come in, he quickly realized he was stuck in the sand.  Like a good captain, he stayed with his vessel.  Well, until the police ordered him out.  To add further insult to injury, the vehicle was impounded, and Sabo was given a citation.

For only $2,000 you can buy these sweet boxer briefs that have a built in vacuum and pouch.  You connect a tube to your cash and prizes and then when you have to go, you hit the green button and evacuate.  How lazy do you have to be?  Seriously?

I usually just honk and throw beads. But this revolutionary (I use that in jest) invention, features five emoticons that you can trigger to share with the car behind you. If someone ever cut me off and then used an LED smilie face to try to smooth it over, I would probably rear end them. My favorite part of the video is that they show you how to put the batteries in. Totally necessary.

Driving though Denver, or Philadelphia, or Boston or any number of busy cities in the world can be a hassle. A problem. A downright pain in the ass. Whatever the issue is-cell phones, ignorance or just plain bad driving- nothing compares to the commute in downtown Baghdad-which is depicted with great clarity in this weekend’s video. The liberal use of the chrome horn is a nice touch, I’d LOVE to use that technique sometime!

Have a GREAT Memorial Day weekend, and take a moment to remember the fallen!
