Forget about oversteer and understeer, that’s passé; the new trend setting driving style is upper…steer! This fella from 
We live in a world were possibilities are endless but we will admit this particular story surprised us. Larry Woody of Cottage Grove Oregon, a mechanic and car enthusiast of more than thirty years, suffered total blindness after a tragic car accident on an interstate highway. Not only did Larry continue to work on his 1968 El Camino, he recently purchased his own Automotive shop and has also hired himself a deaf assistant, Shima. You’re probably asking yourself, ‘how can this work’, right? Well, Larry handles the paperwork and billing with the help of a talking computer, feels his way around the shop and while working on cars, and talks to his deaf apprentice through an interpreter. Shima said that Woody inspires him because "he never gives up." Simply amazing. Via: Boston 
We love these stories of satnavs gone bonkers. Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, we heard about this poor woman from Avoiding common sense and signs that clearly read ‘unsuitable for motor vehicles’ the young lady attempted to cross a ford which happened to be swollen after days of rain. The lady and her car were swept 600 yards downstream until she was rescued by a brave nearby villager. Here’s the kicker - the car remained in the river a week after the incident until it was recovered by a tow-truck and according to Dailymail, it is believed that the SL500 is complete write-off.

Somehow this freaky little Bavarian bugger escaped our "bad-taste" radars till now. We’ve had our share of ugly ducklings but this one could easily win a prize for its unconventional –to say the least, appearance. Work of some polish guy, this pimped BMW 3-Series combines an E30 3-Series body with an E60 5-Series butt and an E46 3-Series front end. There’s no pics of the interior but I guess an i-Drive wouldn’t be out of the question… Via: Autoblog.nl
