Yes it’s true. Paris Hilton, the sex tape making, coochie-flashing, bubble-headed socialite has just received a $375,000 Lexus LF-A super car for her 30th birthday. The uber car was apparently bestowed upon her by American businessman, entrepreneur and apparently drunk boyfriend Cy Waits. Now for those of you that have been living under an automotive rock for the last year, lets go over some specs for the Lexus LF-A. It’s got a V10 that makes 560 hp and 354 lb.-ft. of torque, a six-speed sequential gearbox, carbon ceramic brakes, goes 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and has a top speed of 201.94 mph… and it’s now in the hands of one of the biggest female boneheads to ever roamed the planet earth. Oh and by the way, did we mention that there are only going to be 500 made in total.

Nissan, on behalf of grown men everywhere, I have to thank you for these wonderful and tastefully done new advertisements that you’ve done for your new 2011 Juke compact crossover. You’ve done all of us proud by combining two of our favorite things together in one fail swoop. I mean who knew that half-naked women and a mini bug-eyed SUV could be so exciting. Hell, I know we would have never put the two together. Regardless, you guys should be commended for pulling this off and please know that from this moment on I will tell everyone I meet to go out and purchase you’re little lovable crossover. Well… actually I won’t say that because I’ve yet to actually drive the Juke (hint, hint), but I will tell everyone to watch these ads. By the way, nice job partnering with the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. You guys seemed to make one hell of a team. As for the rest of you, click through for the ads and enjoy.

Just for fun, he’ll be working on three other, top-secret project and hanging out with scantily-clad blonds. It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it. Video below. Read More…

Apparently Bobby never paid attention to the warning sticker on the rear shock that said: “Maximum Weight Limit 350lbs – DO NOT EXCEED!”…

If you’re moving to Els Alamus, Spain, to further your career as a walking sexual gratification specialist, heads up: you’re required to wear a high visibility reflective vest to improve traffic safety. The town, near Barcelona, passed the ordinance back in 2004, specifically to reduce the number of pedestrian – motor vehicle accidents involving prostitutes. Fines for non-compliance start at around $56 per occurrence, and often lead to additional fines for things like ‘creating a danger on a public highway’.

Ah, Tuesday. It sucks 20% less than Monday, but it’s still too far away from the weekend for comfort. And what, I ask you, is more comforting that rat rods, hot rods and pinup girls? Nothing, that’s what, so think of this as the video equivalent of meatloaf with a side of macaroni and cheese. Sure, it’s nothing more than comfort food, but this won’t clog your arteries.

Still hungry? No problem, I’ll serve up an extra helping below.

It’s Saturday, so it’s the perfect time to go wash your ride. Just to make sure you’re doing it correctly, you’d better watch this instructional video a few times first. To get pointers. As an educational experience, separate from all of the unnecessary writhing and T&A in the vid. On second thought, there is no such thing as “unnecessary T&A”.

wagenwerks goldRush Rally 2KX Trailer

Part rally, part social event, part excuse for the filthy stinkin’ rich to flog their supercars around roads in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, this years goldRush Rally took place on June 8 – 13. While technically open to anyone with the $6,000 entry fee, the rally discourages any participants who don’t drive exotic or expensive cars. If you’ve got a a contemporary Ferrari or Lamborghini, you’re in. Drive a nicely restored Datsun 240Z or Alfa Romeo Spyder, and you’re probably not goldRush Rally material.

You’ve got to love the Swiss. First, they make some damn fine chocolate and they live in a stunningly beautiful part of the world. They understand the importance of an armed population, and virtually every Swiss male has a military-issued assault rifle at home. Better yet, they’re actually trained in how to use them, proving once again that an armed society is a polite society.
