As Kim Taylor was running down the hill beside her driveway, chasing after her red Mazda Miata, she couldn't help but be confused. She was sure she had put the parking brake on. And yet there was the little convertible, on its way to her neighbors' pool for a 40 MPH splashdown. We have a feeling this was just one of those days.( Thanks Chris ) [ York Daily Record via 11Alive ]

newVideoPlayer("mantamantaENGtrailer.flv", 463, 387,""); If you've been around Jalopnik for a while, you already know that Manta Manta is perhaps the greatest German street racing film ever made. But for those of us not fluent in Deutsch, we've been left wondering what exactly is going on . Well, now thanks to this recently discovered English-dubbed trailer for Manta Manta , us 'mericans, Brits, Aussies, and whoever else now can really begin to understand just how totally awesome the movie is. And remember: Leaded gas lowers your car, giving you an edge.

newVideoPlayer("STIAd_Jalopnik.flv", 463, 387,""); For Wes, the 2008 Subaru WRX STI was a happy experience. For these fictional German engineers in this Subaru commercial the experience was the same. Well, that is until angry bald German bossman shows up. He ruins everything. It's a funny commercial, with a good use of Falco, but is the STI really the Japanese car the Germans wish they built?

Just in case you've bought a new GT-R, but you lack any common sense when it comes to vehicular accessorization, Nissan has included these helpful illustrations in the owner's manual for the JDM version. We're guessing the big X means you're not supposed to put giant fender flares and oversized spoilers on the GT-R. Nissan apparently thinks they got it right on their own, thank you very much. Although someone better tell that to Mine's . The other illustrations have more helpful hints; like how to use a strategically placed cola can to sabotage someone's brakes, or how to push your unsuspecting buddy's GT-R onto a railway crossing. You know, the little things kids these days do for a laugh. galleryPost('r35gtrmanual', 3, 'You Are Doing It Wrong!');[ Cobb Tuning via AutoBlog ]

Yes, The Onion was the first to get the exclusive details on the biggest announcement so far in 2008. This announcement is chock full of good and bad, depending on who you are. Without further ado I present to you, by way of The Onion , GM's 2008 Layoffs! Urging consumers to forget everything they thought they knew about job security, [Rick] Wagoner described the cutbacks as "a major breakthrough in downsizing," and claimed GM had set a new benchmark in letting people go. Other features included in the 2008 GM Layoffs include automatic suspension of health-care benefits, no-money-down payment option on severance and forced-retirement packages and a new and improved three-day termination notice, compared to the two-week termination notice in previous years. Our main man himself, Bob Lutz, has to be heard, as well. "Our new line of layoffs will forever change the way hardworking men and women get by ... No other car company today--be it Toyota, Ford, or even Saturn--can...

To answer the inevitable question, no, we haven't partnered with Fleshbot for the day. Yes, we are really sending you to a site called menlove.com with a straight face. Why wouldn't we? Menlove is just a simple Toyota dealer in lovely Bountiful, Utah, you know, "the last of the little guys". They've been serving the Davis County area for over 40 years. Shoot, why don't you just give them a call a 1-877-MENLOVE? You can even "Chat Live Now" with a helpful support representatives. We're assuming that pain we're feeling in our head is the aneurysm from five minutes of sustained laughter.

Oh Urban Dictionary , you are a source of unending hilariousness. If you live in the frosty horror show that is Michigan (currently 14 degrees outside--2 above, with wind chill), you know what a "car booger" is, you just never had a name for it. Big chunk of hard slush, stupid ugly crap behind the wheel, junk that builds up under the fender; these are all ways to describe it, but none so perfect as "car booger." Like all great new terms, it's so perfect it hardly needs a formal definition, but according to the Urban Dictionary , a car booger is: A chunk of ice or hard slush, usually dark brown, which is found in the middle of, or alongside, the road in winter, having fallen off a passing car. It builds up like a stalactite behind the wheel from dirty road slush being thrown up there and sticking. Also known in some quarters as a slurd. A Slurd? What a stupid word for car boogers.
