Batwoman Seeks Revenge Against Cheating boyfriend

There are many ways a woman can get back at her boyfriend for cheating on her. Not holding any of her anger back, this woman decided to let the bat do the work and just “went to town.” Of course, she could have sought after a more non-violence approach that wouldn’t have drawn so much attention. She could have been more “sweet” about it and poured a pound of sugar down his gas tank in the dead of night. But then again, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned!”

Bravo! Forum Members Restore ill Friend’s Lotus Esprit!

What a magnificent heart-warming story; Simon Pritchard, a 36-year-old car enthusiast from Abergavenny UK and a member of the Lotus Esprit online forum website was in the process of rebuilding his 25-year-old Esprit when he suffered a stroke. While he was recuperating in the hospital, his fellow forum-members took it upon themselves donating money and time to complete the restoration in just five weeks without him knowing anything! You can just imagine his surprise when he left the hospital and saw the completely restored Esprit!

What makes this story even more special is the fact that Simon has been suffering from several illnesses including Reiter's Syndrome (a form of arthritis that develops as a reaction to infections in the body) and lung complaint. Despite his health problems, Simon has tried to live a normal life and among other things, he spent his time restoring the classic 1982 Lotus Esprit. His online quest for help led him to the Lotus Esprit online forum, the members of which, proved to be a lot more helpful than he or for that matter, anyone, would have bargained for.

Video: Greedy trucker driver handles more than he can carry

I was always taught to not hold more than I could carry. “Make two trips”, my father would say. Well, I’m sure this trucker in China would have gladly made 3 or even 4 trips if he knew his truck was overflowed with cargo and would tip backwards on a bridge. As if that wasn’t embarrassing enough, it was caught on camera and an audience of surrounding people found the misfortune hysterical. The guy taping the scene is only interested in the fact that he gets to post this on You Tube, so we’ll have to make his day by drawing further attention to his footage and the brainless people who over filled this truck.

Transformers: The Real Robots in Disguise

Here’s another example of useless toys that we love because they evoke childhood nostalgia. From what we gather, these actual transforming car/robots went on exhibit at what seems to be a Japanese tech show. The video demonstrates a toy car made out of something that resembles a child’s erector set but with far more technology. The car then transforms into a mobile robot and then back into a car again. Everything in this presentation is completely authentic meaning there’s not special effects, just good old fashion brain technology the way every Transformer should be built!

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX The Legend Reborn: Episode 1

After teasing us with the preview video of the three-part action film "2008 Impreza WRX: The Legend Reborn", Subaru released the first part of the series that carries the name “The Return”. As you can see, Subaru’s animated commercial is inspired from the world of video games combining a tad of mystery music with plenty of jungle scenes and a scent of driving action. Not a bad idea but we’re certainly not overtaken by the final result. I don’t know if they did it on purpose, but the 3D animation makes the replays on Gran Turismo 1 look like the real thing! What did you think about the first episode?

Video: 2008 Nissan GT-R Filmed At The Goodwood Festival

The guys over at “GTR Owners Club” managed to grab the… pole position at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed that took place a couple of weeks ago in the UK, filming the Nissan GT-R prototype that appeared at the event up close and personal. Among other things we get to see the higly-anticipated GT-R’s interior and especially the instrument cluster which is dominated by the large rev counter. The GT-R, due to be unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in October 2007, is expected to be powered by a twin turbo V6 engine delivering more than 400Hp. -Click “Read More…” below to see the video

Top Gear Tests A 1968 Dodge Charger 440 R/T

In this episode, Top Gear’s Richard Hammond, also known as the “Hamster”, took the all-American classic 1968 Dodge Charger R/T out for a spin to see how it rides. The Charger R/T, one of our personal “dream garage cars” was fitted with improved suspension, heavy-duty brakes, dual exhaust, and of course, the all-mighty 440 V8 Magnum engine (7.2-liters, 375 bhp) combined with a Torqueflite 727 3-speed auto or optionally, with a 4-speed manual gearbox. As much as they would have liked to, Top Gear avoided practicing their usual mischief on the R/T so don’t except to see any explosions or cliff jumps (thank God), just your usual Brit sarcasm. -Video after the jump

Woman Crashes While Taking Driving Lessons

Talking about the 2008 Lancer EVO X’s dual-clutch gearbox in John’s previous post today reminded me of a video that a friend sent to me. I don’t really know if the people in this video are actors or if the scene is taken from some sort of Reality TV Show, but its hysterical!

Actually, it reminds me of the first few times I drove a standard transmission, except my teacher started me out in an empty parking lot the size of two football fields. But this driving instructor and hesitant pupil take it to the road for some driving lessons and have a little fender bender in the process. Apparently, this teacher didn’t have a passenger side break to take advantage of. Things like that come into handy at times like these...

PS: Our readers informed us that this is a Polish and not Russian Video

2008 Mercedes C63 AMG Video

Since we’ve played every kind of BMW E92 M3 video that you can think of, it’s only fair that we do the same with one of its arch rivals, the promising 2008 Mercedes C63 AMG. Yes, we know that the music background is utterly annoying and we too would have preferred to hear more of the 6.3-liter V8’s “drum and bass”, but we promise that we’ll return with a proper video sooner than you think. -Click "Read More..." below to see the video

Video: Saudi Pick-Up Driver, Drifts, Hits And Run...

These Arabian drift videos seem endless but so are the accidents caused by the amateur-like and brainless drivers. In this clip, a Saudi driver is drifting down a street with a Toyota pick-up truck when he suddenly hits an innocent by passer (?) sending him flying in the air. Remarkably, the bloke actually manages to stand up, but what’s more “amazing” is the fact that the driver continues drifting as if nothing happened! What an a$$...

Subaru Releases Three Part-Epic Series: "2008 Impreza WRX: The Legend Reborn"

Don’t matter if it’s a Lada or a Ferrari, everyone needs a good promotion to kick off sales. Subaru on its behalf is betting on the online community to promote the all new 2008 Impreza WRX by releasing what it describes, as a “three-part epic-series” dubbed “The Legend Reborn”. The first part of the mini-series is called “The Preview” and it takes place in Japan. Not much, but we’ll wait for Subaru to release the next two episodes for our conclusions.

Porsche 911 GT3 Race Track Videos

After watching these two videos of a Porsche 911 GT3 doing what it was made for, where it was made for, a) I feel jealous, b) I still feel jealous and c) I’ll probably feel jealous all day long. What can I say; some guys actually do have all the luck. But that’s life, we can’t all be that auspicious. Follow the jump to see our second video clip of another driver in a 911 GT3 having fun at the Varano race track in Italy. -Continued: Click “Read More…” below

eBay: The Milwaukee Batmobile!

Holy priceless collection of Etruscan snoods! Who’d ever think that Milwaukee-kee sub-zero temperatures could make a man loose it and create this freak of a Batmobile! Poor car, I feel sorry for it; I mean, as if being a 70’s Oldsmobile 98 Convertible isn’t one burden too many, having to wear this pitiful tranny Batman outfit, phwee… And just in case you want to see the replica in all its glory we've added a video featuring the Milwaukee Batmobile with the King of customs himself, George Barris, admiring it -we think... -Continued: Click "Read More..." below for the video and the image gallery

Rollover Crash Video: "Well, That Sucked!"

LOL! Forget about the violent rollover scene, just jump to about 1 min and 17 sec after the beginning of the video. After a few seconds of perfect silence, you can clearly hear the male driver turn to his female co-driver and say “Well, that sucked”. That’s all he had to say LOL! Now that’s what we’d call a typical male reaction when... turd hits the fan and we loved every single second of it!!!

Video: John Doe Learns How To Drive A Shelby Cobra

Here’s a great driving scene from Fox Network’s TV series, “John Doe” starring Dominic Purcell. In a few words, the series is about the life of John Doe, a mystifying man who possesses knowledge of literally everything in the world yet has no memory of who, or even what, he is. In this clip, which is dubbed in Italian, John Doe "learns..." how to drive a Shelby Cobra 427 like a pro on the streets of Seattle.

Video: Motorcycle Wheelie Accident... Oops!

Hey buddy! Watch out for that car! “Bang, Crash……wipe out!” Oops, guess this motor cycle wheelie was too busy basking in his own glory to notice the car he was about to crash into. Although it was a fairly graceful plunge, we hope he’s ok. Yikes! -Click “Read More…” below to see the video

2008 BMW M3: Amateur Video From The Marbella Media Presentation

These days Marbella has become the epicentre of M3 fans as BMW has chosen the beautiful seaside city in Andalusia, Spain, to perform the presentation of the 420Hp coupe to journalists. Yes, some guys have all the luck; sunny days, Mediterranean beaches, free food and hotels, beautiful Spanish women, a dozen or so E92 M3s and the chance to take the most desirable bimmer of the year for a spin at the Ascari racetrack, located not far from Marbella in a secluded valley in Ronda.

Thankfully (?), we can get a wisp of what’s going on there as a member of the Spanish forum “BMW Faq” managed to snap a few shots of the M3 along with a 6,5 min long video. Even though the drivers seemed a bit restricted, you can just imagine what’s going to happen at Ascari… I’m depressed right now, I think I’ll just crawl into bed and stay there all day. -Pictures after the jump

In the rare case that you missed out on the Tiguan presentation, you can see the official images of here and the press release here.

Thanks for the link Patrick!

Video: GPS Mistake Leads Audi A4 To Tram Rails

Here’s another poor soul who fell victim to the preciseness of a GPS system. This time in Milan Italy, an Audi A4 took a “wrong turn” and ended up on tram tracks holding up the line for hours. The driver claimed he was just following directions on his navigation system. Evidently, this is something that happens quite often. A few months back we had posted a story about a woman who followed her GPS into a river and sunk her car. I guess there is no such thing as a bad GPS system, just a bad driver. My dad once drove our rental car onto a tram track on a European vacation a few years back. Instead of making a scene, he just made his way over a 6 inch border surrounding the tracks and destroyed the car. Ces la vie! -Follow the jump for the video

Renault’s Smoke & Sex Ad

Sex sells! So Renault is using most of people’s 2 favorite activities to sell the 7 passenger Renault Grand Scenic: Sex and Smoking. As our friends over at Jalopnik said, this commercial would never fly in the U.S. I mean come on, they banned the TV ad with Paris Hilton eating a cheeseburger and washing a car. Put it this way, the Renault commercial does not appeal to the soccer moms. Unless you’re planning on having an orgy, we wouldn’t recommend this Grand Scenic. It’s too Windstarish!
