The Quattroporte is at present Maserati's biggest offering, but for some it may still not be large enough. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe 2005 Maser is about as grande as you can get, but is its price too venti? More »

Being predominantly utilitarian conveyances, limousines rarely are the cause of ardor, even for those rolling in them. But today, Nice Price or Crack Pipe has a 40-foot 4x4 that will get you to the show, and will give you wood. More »

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! In yesterday's Alphabet Soup Edition Choose Your Eternity challenge, the TVR went all GBH on the NSU in the poll, sending us scurrying to the nearest W.A.S.T.E. mailbox to inform our friends in San Narciso that PCH Superpower Britain has once again triumphed over Germany. Today we're going to contemplate a pair of projects that will provide years of entertaining debate with your local Homeowners' Association, while remaining totally ridiculous practical.

Mercedes has a long history of providing shrapnel protection to heads of state via its Special Protection Group, and the company's latest S600-based Pullman Guard limo appears to live up to its lineage. Not just a stretched S600, the Pullman Guard is basically a custom-built limo with armoring designed into the body structure rather than just added on in key points, resulting in protection from projectiles, grenades and paparazzi. Of course, when not under attack, occupants are privvy to state-of-the-art communications and entertainment systems, and the whole package is hauled around by a 512 HP twin-turbo V12. Dignified press release after the jump. More »

Welcome to Project Car Hell, where you choose your eternity by selecting the project that's the coolest... and the most hellish! Yesterday we saw more evidence of what happens when a German car takes on PCH Superpower Italy in a Choose Your Eternity challenge: a 68-32 drubbing of the BMW by the Ferrari. Going up against a Superpower is no picnic, but we're going to give Germany another shot at a stunning upset today. Who will triumph, the Benz or the Lambo? Which one do you want more? Which one scares you more? Mix those two factors together and you'll know what to do!

The Detroit (well, actually South Bend) machine put up a good fight against the Detroit-powered British Leyland product yesterday, but it's tough to beat a PCH Superpower and thus the voters gave the victory to the V8/IRS MGB-GT in yesterday's poll. But are we giving up on America as a credible PCH contender? Hell no! That's the thinking behind today's Detroit-versus-Paris matchup, and we'll see how things sort out. More »

The impossible ridiculousness of this car is only matched by its utter brilliance. The nutjobs who brought us the stretched Ferrari limo have plied their craft on a decidedly less high performance automobile. They've dubbed their creation the Smaaart ForTwo (see what they did there?) and are pitching it towards soft drink makers as a moving billboard. Gee, wonder which soft drink they're aiming for. Why did they choose a Smart? Why not? [WorldCarFans] More »

Can an American car- even a 60-year-old American car made by a long-defunct manufacturer- compete with an entry PCH Superpower Italy? Not according to our most recent Choose Your Eternity poll, in which the '38 Studebaker Dictator lost out to the '68 OTAS 820. That might have something to do with the fact that most of the OTAS now resides in the belly of the Rust Monster, but it also points out just how tough it is to beat a PCH Superpower. However, Project Car Hell is all about beating your unstoppable head against an immobile brick wall, forever, so we're coming right back with another Italy-versus-America matchup. And not just your quotidian-type X-1/9-versus-Pacer deal, oh no- today we're plunging headfirst into the molten sulfur of Custom Stretch Limo Hell! More »

The Fiero Ferrari we saw recently was pretty nice, all right, and there's no denying the appeal of a Fieroborghini or the Fierenzo. But if you crave a Fiero-based Italian supercar, yet also need the VCR and mirrored ceiling of a limo... well, today is your lucky day! We've found this fine Fierrari that's been stretched and converted into full Limo Overload (and we mean that "Overload" part literally, because this vehicle still has the stock Iron Duke four-banger, which isn't quite working; the seller states "really dont exactly know? could be major eng? or Minor?"). But so what? You've got room for a GMC Twin Six in that easily-expanded engine compartment! [eBay Motors] More »

Nothing says chav quite like rolling up to your wedding in a 20 foot long Ferrari 360 Modena Limo. Though not quite as impressive as the Czech-built Skoda limo the other day, this one will probably hold more Guinness World Records. The 360 limo was the brainchild of owner and builder Dan Cawley, in partnership with former Mclaren associate Chris Wright. They constructed the car by slicing the beast in half and then painstakingly reconstructing the carbon-fiber chassis, along with adding carbon -iber supports. Even though the car is over nine feet longer than stock, it only weights in at an additional 350 lbs.

Project Car Hell voting is supposed to take into account both the coolness and the impossibility of a project, which means the 80/20 stomping administered by the Alfa over the Opel in yesterday's Choose Your Eternity poll wasn't a huge surprise. Today we're going to switch from cars to something a bit different, because it's been since the Yankenwagen Me, Krankenwagen Me Edition that we've seen a Commercial Vehicle PCH, and we can't let Hell become too predictable!

This relic of Argentina's Dirty War era may once have carried movie stars, heads of state or even racing drivers. Now, alas, its hydraulically operating doors only provide cover for street produce. Actually, the long, long wheelbase 240, workhorse of South American taxidom during the malaise era, is a perfect carrier and displayer of such wares, though word is the ghosts of "disappeared" dissidents have been known to sneak an apple when the boss isn't looking.

From the Fun with Government Surplus department comes Tank Limo, the toy-slash-business of some blokes with big ideas and a fleet of military equipment. It's a renovated field hustler fitted with smoked glass, a fridge, twin DVD players, back-up cameras and completely retrimmed interior. They're in process of installing 44 feet of remote neon tubes and a Jacuzzi, about which they say, "If you hear a rumor it's a 5 foot sheep dip with a pump and heat exchanger it might not be true." It can fit three crew and eight passengers (the tank, not the jacuzzi) and is perfect for weddings, proms or launching a coup on Bolivia. Your choice. [Tank Limo via Make] More »

I thought about going a bit more upscale with today's Choose Your Eternity entries, perhaps looking at project cars in the $2500-$5000 price range. But then I ran across these two fine cars and I knew I had no choice but to go with them. As we know, the German machine decisively beat the Japanese one in yesterday's All-Axis Project Car Hell Challenge, so we're going to give the vehicular products of our erstwhile enemies another shot today and see if perhaps the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere can come out on top this time...

Damn, English Russia rules! Part Corvan, part Rambler wagon, and part October Revolution People's Collective Farm turnip truck, this appealingly bizarre Soviet public-trans vehicle would be even better with the addition of Cherry Bombs and Centerlines. There's some spirited debate about its origins in the English Russia comments , the most coherent of which proclaims it to be a prototype vehicle based on the Volga GAZ 21.
