Go to a bottle shop grab as many corks you can find so you can stick them in the hole in the side of your engine block. Or you have done major damage, go park it.

2 epic fails

#1 - My mate went to the auctions in the hope of picking up a Nissan X-Trail, but ended up getting a 3.5 year old Prius for about $13500, about $4000 less than the expected price, because no-one bid, except my mate. I just found it odd he could go to the auction in search of a small SUV, and come home with a hybrid.

#2 - Pulled the Prius up at the lights, I think the lanes merged ahead. The next lane was an SS Commodore. Lights go green, my mate says his Prius takes off pretty well initially and the Commodore, realising the Prius got the jump, tries a bit too hard and gets a bit of wheelspin. End result, Prius 1, Commodore 0.

Apparently the Commodore driver stayed back after that. I would have been showing him this

if he got close again.

One of the funniest ever "Epic Fails" is when you actually see it in real life.
Example:


Whilst touring around the Mississippi River just out of New Orleans a few weeks ago, we came across the classic "Yo Homie Pimp Rig".
It was no way as good as the above pic, but just think of a 20 year old car (rusty and scratched paint) GM with $4000 wheels. So freakin hilarious.

I mean, these rusty sedans on top of huge bling wheels, is just so hilarious. I was so stupid to leave my camera off as we passed the "Yo Homie".

Yes folks, these are for real. (just add laughter or LMAO ROFL ROFLCOPTER)

I did manage to capture a Ute (er.. Truck) with bling wheels, but it just didn't have the flavour of "epic fail". Close, but no cigar.
