When your housemate goes away to Europe for a couple weeks and puts his beater Civic in one of your parking spots without leaving the keys... well, that means you need to make him pay. Some folks would have been content to fill the Honda's door handles with Vaseline, or maybe even put a dead fish in the glovebox, but the Merkur-mad maniacs from Team Turbo Schnitzel don't do things halfway. They hotwired the offending car and proceeded to paint it purple and outfit it with the finest accessories Manny, Moe, and Jack have to offer. Welcome home, Brian!! [Flickr]
