The joke vehicle accessories, Carstache and Truck Nutz, have a new company moving into their territory with a product called Car Lashes. These are flexible “eye lashes” designed to be cut and pasted onto your headlights using a 3M-type double sided tape. The company is also selling a crystal “eye liner” that can be applied over top the lashes for an even greater “headlight popping” effect.
The kit retails for $24.99 for the lashes, and $19.99 for the jewel eye liner via their CarLashes Web store, which last time I checked was so packed with visitors (or should I rather say, disbelievers), their server was down for exceeding its bandwidth. Does this mean you can expect to see at least one of these on a Volkswagen Beetle before you die… I’d say almost certainly!
Check out the video.

Admit it you’ve been in line to buy your lottery tickets with dreams of a lavish jet-set lifestyle with the fancy cars and multiple dream homes across the globe. But unfortunately the reality is that those dreams rarely come true and those tickets end up in the trash. This is where the artistic duo known as Ghost of a Dream come in. Two artists from the Rhode Island School of Design took discarded lottery tickets and created works of art that represent the things we imagine could happen with that ‘one’ golden ticket. They’ve created cars and lux homes using nothing but said loser tickets. The Hummer H3 pictured above for example was made using $39,000 worth of lottery tickets. They didn’t stop there. They also created a lavish home that featured a chandelier, antique clock and mirror, even a china closet. All this was made using $70,000 worth of lottery tickets. The goal was to make people aware of what could have been purchased had they just saved the money instead of contributing to their local landfills.
Earlier this week a dead Seattle man receiving a ticket for parking too long in a 2-hour zone. It seems the parking enforcement officer chalked the man’s car at 9:30 AM (he was already sitting in the driver’s seat dead), and then came back that afternoon to issue him the ticket. His girlfriend of all people was the one who located him about a half hour after he received the ticket.
Do you think she should have to pay the $42 fine?
Well, there are some rules to this situation. If any of you should ever happen to die while parked in an illegal space, the officers are limited to the number of tickets they can issue. It is currently only three tickets that can be served per dead citizen.
I can only imagine the fiasco that must have lead to this guideline; probably some rotting corpse in Kentucky, sitting outside a local topless bar with over 50 tickets jammed under his windshield wiper.
Anywho, under the rules, for each of the first two tickets, the officer must knock on the window and call out, “Have a nice day” to the motionless individual. Upon issuing the third ticket, it’s considered time to call in the hearse!
You can’t make this kind of stuff up.

Who says you need loot, dough, potatoes, bacon, clams, or cheddar (a.k.a “money”) to enjoy the sound of a high performance engine. All these blokes need is their mouth, a little talent, and a captivated audience!
Enjoy…
