What in the world would make someone turn one of the classiest roadsters in the market today into this “6-eyed” metal monstrosity? As for the exhaust pipe cluster in the rear-end, it looks more like a swollen, well let’s not get vulgar… -More pics after the jump

You’re in you car, jammed in traffic somewhere in the city of Budapest, Hungary. Your wife or girlfriend (it doesn’t make any difference…) is nagging about something -you never quite understand about what and why, but she’s nagging, when all of a sudden you see a yummy-mummy topless Eastern European model dressed in… bodypaint offering you a Kofola (carbonated soft drink produced in the Czech Republic and Slovakia). What do you do? (More images after the jump)

1. Throw out your female companion and invite the model for a drink at your house

Holy merde; for a minute there, I thought I was looking at my high-school math book –I’m not kidding! The shapes, the colors everything looks like what I use to engrave on my workbook in-between breaks – if my mind’s not playing tricks with me, I think it was called class. Engraving “sticks & shapes” on your school books simply because you’re daydreaming in class is one thing, but doing it on your $250,000 or so Lamborghini Gallardo? There’s something totally wrong upstairs dude… -More images after the jump

No wonder Arnie doesn’t want anyone –especially teenagers (click here) to use cell-phones in their cars... Can you think of a better reason to ban those "devilish" machines in vehicles than this cell-phone related accident caused in Russia?

Wouldn’t it just make you day if you took a train looking like a VW Bus in the metro every morning? Even better, we’d really dig seeing themed VW Tubes -like flower power, Andy Warhol, Pimp My Ride etc. Think any one would listen to us if we were to sell the idea?

And then you wonder why men fail tests. Guess testosterone finds a way to overpass a man’s logic sometimes…

Is this 911 on steroids or what! While there’s no details accompanying the puffy Zuffenhausen-mobile's photos we guess it’s the work of some cranky artist who hit the oxygen button one too many times… -More images after the jump

We just received a request to post an article on some folks attempt to blow up “Bill”, aka a 1992 E36 BMW 325i Coupe, if his/their Facebook Group reaches 500.000 people –see here.

Ok, here’s what we think: First of all, if you guys are not pyrotechnics or something relative, we'd advise you to stay away from explosives -that is if you really mean to blow up your car. I don’t know about the readers of Carscoop, but personally I’m not at all intrigued by the idea of someone wanting to wreck a car. There are thousands of people out there who’d love owning a Bimmer like yours but can’t afford it. So here’s an idea: Why not leave the blowing up to professionals like the folks over at Top Gear and try altering your objective to “Freeing Bill”? Link: Blowingupbill

Biddings for Josef Ratzinger’s -now known as Pope Benedict XVI, ex 1999 VW Golf VI have just ended a few minutes ago (Saturday, 14 April 2007 09:18:24 PDT) on ebay. The car’s current owner, Texas-based online casino, GoldenPalace.com sold it bidder No33 (we don’t have any details yet), for a staggering 204.400 USD.

This is the second time that the "holly" Golf changed hands since the…blessed 21-year-old Benjamin Halbe (it was only when he obtained the car’s registration documents that he realized who’s car it was) sold it to GoldenPalace in 2005 for approximately 244.590 USD. According to GoldenPalace proceeds from the auction will benefit "Habitat for Humanity Great Britain". Link: ebay

FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) newspapers are linking David Beckham’s BMW X5 4.8is that was stolen in Madrid last year to the interior minister of the newly created Balkan country, Gordana Jankulovska. The BMW fell into the hands of FYROM government after it was impounded due to the fact that it had been illegally imported into the country from Greece. Though it’s not officially confirmed yet that Jankulovska is actually driving Beckham’s stolen Bimmer, the story has created such a big fuss that the minister gave an interview to BBC where she noted, “This car changed a number of owners before and some of the numbers were changed in an illegal way. It is impossible to have a final confirmation that this is the car". –Continued: Click “Read More…” below

In another interview though, Jankulovska told B92 radio in Belgrade that she would be happy to meet the English soccer player if it turned out that the car belonged to him. Well actually, what she meant to say is that she would be more than happy to meet the world press and get the chance to pose for the central pages of hundreds of gossip magazines…

Looks like someone had a huge mess to clean up earlier this week on interstate 495 in Massachusetts when a tractor trailer loaded with containers of red dye used to color bark mulch ruptured and spilled covering 1500 feet of roadway. Something like this, although hellish, would definitely make your morning commute interesting. That is, until you get to work and see that your car is covered in red mulch dye. The coloring adhered to bumpers, tires, fenders and doors. Needless to say, people were pissed but apparently the mulch dye company is offering a phone number for insurance claims. If you’re lucky, they’ll reimburse you for a lousy carwash. Via: Lowellsun

When they say, “buckle up” they mean it and here is a huge example why. Earlier this week a man wearing his safety belt walked away with minor abrasions from the flattened vehicle that hit a stationary tractor trailer. The other two women in the car that weren’t wearing seatbelts are in critical condition. Needless to say, the car was totally demolished and it’s hard to imagine anyone walking away in one piece from such a crash. Especially involving a 25,000 lb trailer. Via: Local6

What a heart-breaking sight for all car-nuts. This corroded Pagode was discovered lying peacefully on the bed of Neckar River in Germany when some folks decided to take her up. Now the once sassy 230 SL rests in peace at the headquarters of SL Club Pagode, based in Germany. Follow the jump below for more pictures. Via: TopSpeed, Source: SL Pagode
