THE LOVE THAT DARE NOT SPEAK CANNOT PRONOUNCE ITS NAME


You've got to hand it to the guys at Jalopnik. Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year they keep finding the most goofy awesome automotive videos on the interwebs ... and this video, with its inexplicable "action" cut at 0:35, is no exception.



INEXPLICABLE ACTION


I have no idea what the video is supposed to be showing us, other than the obvious: a bunch of German microcars engaged in some kind of dirt-track death race to the tune of an all-banjo soundtrack.

Going a step beyond the obvious, however, Jalopnik seems to have made sense of the film, claiming that the movie's synopsis - when run through Google - translates to the following:
Earth has rotated so many times around the sun that has reached the early 1960s. Martin, Blue, Rami and Bambi elelevät sand pits cut through the mass of a country village haaveineen. Martin would like a career musician, Blue to build a career in fashion models in Helsinki , Rami miss working Bambilla rally star and future plans are still open. Between the monitored luihun pop boss, the movie "bad guy", attempts to find new lead singer promises...Young people can not agree, however, to focus on kuhinointiin can breathe, as the rally Ramin dreams of kingship to be tuned ajokaluaan victory Bambi wants to get in shape and out of small rural village surroundings. He has a good singing voice, which she wins the popular song contest. But the organizer of the competition starts to harass Bambia car's back seat and the girl's pop star dreams of flowing tears in the sand.

The world kinda makes sense a little more sense now, doesn't it?

You're welcome.

more ekans than arbok




THE TINIEST ASS YOU CAN TAP WITHOUT SETTING OFF AN AMBER ALERT


That, dear friends, is a 5/8 scale Shelby 427 Cobra - a pint-sized replica of one of the nastiest, fire-breathingest, hairy-chestedest roadsters ever to lay rubber to tarmac.

The guys at Autoblog found this Kei-class kitcar in Japan, where tax laws make normal, 'murican-sized cars cost prohibitive to own and drive. This little number makes do with a 660 cc turbocharged Suzuki engine putting out almost 160 hp - more than enough to scoot past the odd Daihatsu Mira that might get in the way during Salaryman's soul-crushing morning commute.

Check out the rest of the post (along with a comprehensive photo gallery) here.

Enjoy!


PS
If you don't know the difference between Ekans and Arbok, then how will you know what to yell when they're on your motherf***ing plane?

the church that makes housecalls






It seems that the good Reverend Charles wants your money ... but he doesn't have a church.

Really.

What follows is probably racist, probably insensitive, probably anti-semetic, probably a one-way ticket to he(ck), and probably unexplainable ... but it is DEFINITELY hilarious, and internet GOLD!

This pegs my whathef*ckometer so hard, I can't believe it's not Japanese!

USA FTW!!







Seriously, do NOT call this guy.

sunshine theme week | godzilla | part ii






Sure, you WANT an R35 "Godzilla" GTR, but let's face it: the most technologically advanced supercar in the history of technologically advanced supercars doesn't exactly lend itself to enthusiasts who find themselves saddled with a wife, a dog, and 2.5 kids.

What to do?

For all you Godzillas running around with a few little Minyas of your own, it's time to round up one of Nissan's Stagea wagons and take it over to Japanese drift-masters Kids Heart.

Really.

Kids Heart will turn that Stagea into a pretty respectable-looking R35 Godzilla wagon. Dr. Jones (der Wagonmeister) would be proud.

CLICK HERE for the original post on the GTR blog, which links over to the Nagoya Auto Trends site and more J-pop than anyone should ever be exposed to.

Enjoy!

subnormality






The late Hunter Thompson once wrote "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.", and there are few things weirder than Canadian humor.

All the same, I found the webcomic above strangely appropriate to this little blog - and I hope you'll agree that it's a great way to start off what promises to be the strangest year in automotive history.

Welcome to 2009, everyone - let's hope we're all still around next year. CLICK HERE for original webcomic.
