Custom Made Nike Air Max inspired by Porsche 911 GT3 RS

These custom made Nikes are the work of a German athletic store called 'Purchaze' and they are supposed to be inspired from the Porsche 911 GT3 RS - or at least in what concerns the color combos (silver, black, green and orange). Other than that, the four pairs of Nike Air Max Light GT3 RS sneakers feature the Porsche logo stitched into the shoes' tongue. Well, the only thing that comes to mind when we see these shoes is the word 'kitsch'...

Honda's Down-Under 'Hybrid' Billboards

Honda's Down-Under 'Hybrid' Billboards

In an Australian media first, Honda has installed a series of massive 'hybrid' billboards that are illuminated by solar power and backed up by 'green' energy electric (hence the somewhat misleading 'hybrid' title), for its new Honda Accord Euro. In cooperation with outdoor advertising specialists, APN Outdoor, Honda has installed the solar panels on several of its Accord billboards around the country. "Honda's well-earned reputation for minimising its environmental impact made this opportunity very attractive," said Honda Australia Marketing Manager, John Pranger. "Our goal is to leave blue skies for our kids and harnessing natural energy sources goes a long way to achieve this."

Video: Man Falls and Gets His Arm Burned-Out

Stupidity comes in many forms. In this case, it comes from a young man who thought he could hold a beer can in one hand and push a Ford truck that was performing a burnout with the other. Not surprisingly, he slipped and the spinning rear-wheel of the pick-up truck matted with his arm for a few painful seconds - if anything else, this had to hurt. But at least he didn't spill his beer...

Thanks for the tip Sam!

Video: Chinese Trucker Fools Around with Police Car

In this video, a police car attempts to pull over a large truck on a Chinese highway but the trucker constantly keeps swerving around blocking the officers from overtaking him. Even though the trucker's actions threaten not only the life of the police officers, but also the safety of people in other cars that happened to be on the road, the whole scene is deliriously funny. Watch the video below the fold.
