[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9fWDtZ3esA[/youtube] Across the Intertubewebs, this fellow’s endeavor’s being labeled as a failure (FAIL, as they say). We say nonsense. When your airbag + tire + car seat adventure gets you 10 feet in the air it’s all win, regardless of how you come down. As far as we’re concerned, it deserves a MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banner.…

Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, some bright MBA grad would say, “Hey, we sell tons of 50cc motorcycles overseas, and we sell lots of 50cc scooters and mini-bikes in America;…

Vanity Plate WTF?

This is either a proctologist that’s too full of himself, or someone who came out of the closet in a biiiiiiiig way. UPDATE: From our friend TheOnlyCannoli- Thanks man, that’s so funny it hurts. Source: [Vanity Plates: Creepiness in 8 Characters or Less]
