When the world's great auto makers leave you wanting, maybe it's time to go it alone with a kit car. And if your yearnings extend to gull wings and Asiatic dragons then perhaps it's time for this Nice Price or Crack Pipe Bradley GT II. You might however, hanker for it having a lower price. More »

Ask them to fix that egregious wrong in their comments. I mean, he's the most powerful dragon. More »

While other states try to keep personalized vanity plates off the road, Texas auctions desirable combinations. Last night's winner: "FERRARI," at a record-setting $15,000. Big loser: The Jalopnik reader who paid $7,750 for the "DRAGONS" rear license plate. More »

Dragoning is not the sole domain of Audi R8’s. Recent photographs of a much earlier product of the Volkswagen Group shed light on the high potential of Type 2 Transporters in attracting mythical reptilians. More »

Where Ray is a forceful, selfish dragon, Matt's all about giving the Audi e-tron what it needs. Ultimately, this explains why Ray has a series of tumultuous relationships with many different cars where Matt's settled in for the long term. More »

In Russia, a drink with 6.0% alcohol-by-volume is considered a low-alcohol beverage. Also, women drive around with their eyes closed drinking something called "China Town" with dragons on their laps. Silly Russians, the dragon goes outside the car. [Copyranter] More »

As previously documented, a dragon is someone with a special "attachment" to cars. We love cars, but dragons "love cars." It's also used as a verb. Thus, assuming a sudden loss of shame, what car would you like to "dragon?" More »

Our obsession with cars pales in comparison to this Washington state man, who admits to "sexual relations" with over 1,000 cars. If ever there was a dragon, this mechaphiliac would be it. More »

Rule 34 states that, on the Internet, dirty stuff exists for any conceivable subject. Dragons proves that rule to be true. When we first brought you images of dragons doing their thing last year, we never thought it would grow into the meme it has, but, for good or bad, it looks like they’re here to stay. In their latest form, Sugarfix created a song honoring a dragon’s one true love, so we figured we’d turn it into a music video. It’s after the jump. UPDATE: Note the additional cameo by Gizmodo's Brian Lam! More »

What do a dragon sculpture on the back of a truck made to look like it's always staring you down and a cell phone have in common? Yeah, nothing, but apparently that's one way the Samsung Soul is being marketed across southern England. A Ford Transit with a dragon on it's back. Let the jokes start in 3... 2... 1...

It must be car sex day around these parts because now another dragon has surfaced in Scotland. An 18-year-old is being accused of running around his Crannog Way, Kilwinning neighborhood naked and humping every vehicle in sight. Callum Ainsworth, the dragon in question, has denied the accusations and will face a trial this summer on charges of public indecency. Let's just hope he went for the tailpipe like any professional car-humper, rather than compromising the integrity of the car's body work.

Hmm. How to go about this delicately? Terry Kenney is the inventor of something called the "Dragon Power Station", it's a system of plates and hydraulic compressors taking advantage of the weight of passing semis to convert potential energy to electricity. The system is embedded in the road around low speed areas and tractor trailers squeeze the Dragon plates together until hydraulic fluid gushes out at the capture station, where it is converted to power by a generator. The system is currently installed at the Port of Oakland and is expected to generate 5,000 to 7,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day when refined. Dragons with semis? Expect horrifying new artwork any time now. (h/t to Eddie, you sick dragon lover) [NCMOnline] More »

For better or worse, dragons have become something of a meme around here. Well, it looks like they're here to stay, with Spense delivering a comment in the BMW Hearts Diesel piece that seriously had the entire staff in fits here in the Cobo Hall press room. Check it out after the jump. More »

We practiced our love with the Tang Hua Book of Songs earlier, and now for the less phallic, more idiosyncratic Tang Hua Detroit Fish. "Detroit Fish" would be an odd name for a car if it weren't for the fact that this fish can evidently swim. Yes indeed, this is the only amphibious crossover at the Detroit Auto Show. While this might not be the most popular segment at the moment, Tang Hua's marketing team has an ingenious strategy - sell one to President George W. Bush for use on his Texas ranch. Tang Hua wants the renowned environmentalist to help kick start its US product blitz with some top notch product placement. More »

Tang Hua is one of those Chinese companies in the basement that is unabashedly pitching its bizarre wares at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. The terrible trio of yellow fiberglass and awesome lined up in their stand made us want to love the upstart manufacturer - in that way. Travis couldn't restrain himself. We're not going to say anything unseemly, but if you look at the profile of the "Book of Songs" upside down, it may look a little, um, suggestive. The etched plexiglass information kiosk is in the gallery if you want to know details on the little electric car. We'll take a closer look at another of their offerings shortly. More »

It keeps happening. This time, a british man has been given probation after a "sexually aggravated breach of the peace" that involved him attempting to, ahem, mount his bike. According to the local police the man's cleaners found him "holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex." The man initially claimed that he had been drinking and there had been some sort of misunderstanding. Maybe the bike was teasing him? More »

You knew this was coming. Though with the insane amount of what seems to be high school testosterone flying around this joint there were many more big dorky losers than winners. I'm guessing about 72% to 28% depending on the breaks. Still, the gold buried in that 28% is quite shiny. Picking just one winner for COTD honors at first seemed like quite a task. But then, b.borrman stepped up to the plate and knocked the ball out of the park. More »
