Non-functional snorkels on non-offroad-going vehicles.

I dunno, but I’d rather be caught driving a Yugo rather than this... This... Whatever this expensive slab of a brick is.

This looks like something out of GTA V.

Us Indonesians too. Think US$60k GTIs or WRXs. Meanwhile GT-Rs or M3s are in the US$138k ballpark.

Yes, it’s either a Vellfire/Alphard.

Living in a country where M3s are around $140k a pop and Golf GTIs are $58k posing machines, seeing people crash their AMGs/Ms/GTIs/WRXs/86s/what-have-you makes me really, really sad.

Last September I watched Spy (there was this scene where the bad guy took pics of his junk using a DSLR) during my flight to Italy, and The Town (striptease scene) while I was stopping over at Qatar. On a 15" laptop and brightness cranked almost all the way up, no less. Zero fucks given.

Third-world dweller here. You’re not gonna believe the amount of death traps I’ve seen (and ridden in) in the 29 years I’ve breathed air.

Who wouldn’t want a nuclear-powered van stoplight racer? Me want too.

When I’m in the middle or slow lane and someone tailgates me when it’s obvious they could take over on the fast lane, I’d do the same too. Only not strong enough to cause the rear end to lift. Basically just slowly letting go of the gas and tapping the brakes juuuust enough to let the lights on.

Third-world country pricing much?

Sometime in 2013, I was driving in a brand-new Nissan Grand Livina (1.5 litre, 4sp auto; Google it) on the highway. There was this CR-V riding my bumper at 100kph, so I put the go pedal all the way down.

Pretty sure that’s a Mustang, dude.

Why do I find vans doing oppo oddly satisfying? Kinda like that old Sienna commercial (“Minivan? Says who?”)

I lost it at “Your other car is a Mustang.”

The other day I did 170kph in a GK5 Honda Jazz (aka Fit; CVT though, not stick) while listening to “Tallulah” and “Seven Days in Sunny June”.

Also relevant: Deepwater Horizon.

Looks like a very complicated contraption, which is just a V8-powered sex toy. Much want.

Thank you for the kind words, dear sir.
