Real Life Stick Shift...

It’s amazing the things people come up with; ok, somehow you managed to break/remove the gear lever. Fine, crap happens to everybody. But honestly now, a wooden stick… shift? This guy certainly must have had to much free time on his hands.

Astonishing Dusty Windshield Art

Here’s a guy that came up with an idea to turn your dusty windshield into a piece of (momentary) art. Suddenly that smiley face with the sexual male organs and the caption, “I’m so dirty” looks completely lame, doesn’t it? -Click “Read More…” for the image gallery

Red Bull’s "Faces For Charity" F1 Car Adorned With 30.000 Portraits

Last weekend’s British Grand Prix at Silverstone saw one of most oddly decorated racing car’s in Formula One’s history; Red Bull’s one-off “Faces of Charity” RB3. More than 30,000 pictures were uploaded onto the livery of Mark Webber and David Coulthard's RB3 F1 racing cars and all in aid of raising money (and awareness) for spinal injury research foundation “Wings for Life”. The fans had submitted their portraits for a minimum donation of £10 (about $20 or €15), a go to adorn the RB3s. According to Red Bull, “Faces of Charity” raised more than a million dollars. We hope that we see more teams follow Red Bull’s example in the future. -More images after the jump

Lexus RX: The Russian Way To Take Care Of The SUV Problem

Allegedly, this Lexus RX was parked illegally so the Russian authorities took care of the problem in there own unorthodox way -or at least that’s what the guys at “englishrussia” claim. Truth is however, we don’t give much credit to the scenario as this looks to be a brand new Lexus RX - it’s still covered with the protective plastic wrap! So we’re guessing maybe it was confiscated and destroyed by the police or someone with a camera simply got lucky and saw the Russian mafia in action... If you have a better explanation, we'll be glad to hear it. -Click "Read More..." after the jump

Bentley Continental GT Turned... Hyundai!

A Bentley turned Hyundai? Oh the horror! The owner of this Continental GT has somehow professionally applied Hyundai badges on the trunk lid, center cap of each wheel and the hood. I’m sure Bentley isn’t finding any humor in this. But one thing’s for sure, the people over at Hyundai went home today with an enlarged ego. Tonight they will dream of Hyundai’s with Bentley-esque designs for their upcoming Elantra model. Let’s all cross our fingers and hope someone will pop up and admit this was just some sort of a photo-shop and they haven’t really defaced a six figure vehicle.

Weird Accident: Honda Civic vs Toyota Corolla

We’ve heard that the Toyota Corolla Altis is topping the Honda Civic in sales in Thailand, but this is totally ridiculous… But seriously now; if the Toyota Corolla didn’t fall from the sky, how the heck did it end up “humping” this poor Honda Civic? If you’ve got any information please share it with us, we’re really curious about this one. The accident was shot in Thailand's frenetic capital, Bangkok.

Cocaine High Driver Plows Wheat Field, Discredits Crop Circle Theory

This aerial image was taken just last week when a man, high out of his mind on cocaine, “plowed” and zig-zagged his way through this wheat field in Dussen, Netherlands. But since it’s never enough fun for one car to take credit for all of the damage, two police cruisers joined in on the chase adding to the chaos. The 35-year-old man was cornered and crashed into a ditch. So much for crop circles huh? I bet the aliens are really annoyed someone stole their idea!

Ultimate Ferrari Sacrilege?

Here we have a fella who either A. has no morals what-so-ever, or B. Can’t tell the difference between his Ferrari 360 Modena and a bike rack. We think it’s probably a little bit of both. Isn’t it strange how some people in the world don’t have the means to buy a Ferrari and others drive bicycles to work? This guy is just selfish. Apparently the Ferrari wasn’t enough of a mode of transportation.

Holden HZ Monaro GTS BBQ!

Having grown up in Melbourne in the early 80’s, I had my shares of weekend barbies –Aussie slang for BBQ’s, with family and friends. But even though I’ve probably gone to picnics in every Monaro that you can think of, I never actually remember having a barbie in one… Well there was one time someone had a Foster too many and tried to scramble eggs on the hood scoop of his HQ Monaro with a WB Statesman front end, but that doesn’t count. -More pics after the jump

ebay: A Yugo that’ll make you Laugh Out Loud!

Do you think a car is only a machine? That it doesn’t have feelings and it can’t laugh or cry? If you do, then you’re WRONG! This car, which is sold on e-bay, proves that there’s an exception to every rule. For those of you who are debating whether or not I’m in my sober state please look carefully to the car’s plates where it says: “LOL”, which in cyber-world translates to Laughing Out Loudly.

Let’s be fair, buying this Yugo has its pros and cons. There are some things you may not know about these cars, so better look up the FAQ’s (follow the jump) list before you invest in this beast. And don’t forget that Yugo will be introducing three new vehicles next year which include a single-seater called "I Go", a family sedan named "We Go" and a station wagon called the "Y'all Go". Yes, quite the originality, but trust us, those new models won’t affect the price of this Yugo! -Continued after the jump

Horse Detained By Police Over Stolen Vehicle In South Africa!

"We have apprehended a horse and two suspects for being in possession of a suspected stolen vehicle'' – this unbelievable statement was made by Soweto’s police spokeswoman, Captain Lindiwe Mbatha! According to Mbatha, S. African cops patrolling in Soweto (actually, an acronym for the 26 individual South-Western Townships), pulled over two people in a horse-cart hauling a stripped body of a brand new Toyota Corolla due to suspicions of theft.

Since the police officers were not allowed by law to leave the horse and the Toyota Corolla on the street, the poor animal had to be detained along with the suspects! "The animal had to be taken in with its carriage and the suspects. We couldn't leave the horse on the road because it was carrying a suspected stolen car,'' Mbatha said. Luckily, the 4-legged “suspect” was freed of all charges… and released into the care of animal rights association in Johannesburg.

Scooped: 2010 Toyota Zero Emissions Pick-Up

We’ve done it again! Carscoop brings you exclusive spy photos of an undisguised next generation Toyota Pick-Up and it is definitely a stunner. Caught by spy photographers somewhere between the Blue and White Niles in eastern Sudan, Africa, the yet unnamed Pick-Up is powered by an innovative, eco-friendly animal-train that’ll subsequently replace Toyota & Lexus hybrid powertrains in the very near future. A Toyota representative revealed to Carscoop in an off-the-cd conversation that the Japanese automaker has been reviewing two different types of animal-trains but declined to say what the second one was. Stay tuned for more info on this breaking story.

Chevrolet Creates World's First Scratch Car-d

Ladies and Gents, grab your pennies because Chevrolet Europe has launched its first SUV (Captiva) in the UK market. To make the debut more interesting, Chevy slapped a film of latex on a Captiva, laid it on a bed of pennies in London’s Covent Garden and told people to scratch away. The Scratch Car-d event was a scratch and reveal game where people would scratch a portion on the car with one revealing a symbol to win the vehicle.

Chevrolet UK’s Les Turton stated, You’ve been able to scratch to win a car before, but using a vehicle as an actual scratch card is certainly a first and it could take 14 hours of scratching”. Personally, we’re anxiously awaiting the Scratch-n-Sniff car. Someone should seriously consider that idea. -More pictures after the jump
