Penis-painter puts 'Big D**k' on little car
In the Queen song, I'm In Love With My Car, drummer Roger Taylor took over singing duties from Freddie Mercury to wail about how much he was, uh, in love with his car. It's obvious no one ever spray-painted a huge penis on his.

Citreonarri ?
What has the heart of a Ferrari F355 and the soul of a Citreon 2CV? (and reminds me of this creation?)

AERO EV: Fastest Electric Car Specs Revealed!
Shelby Supercars first raised eyebrows several months ago with claims of building “the first 100% Green Supercar to achieve speeds never before seen”. Well, it seems like those details are starting to formalize and they are just as outlandish as previously thought.
