    These look like they were done by Jackson Pollock and Ralph Steadman's love child. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    @Brian: TOTALLY flattered. Two of the greatest artists going. Pollock I get a lot but you are the first to see Steadman's influence. Mostly the scotch but some of his art too.

    @hfulkeantant: You did these? Nice work! Looking back, I can see my comment could have been interpretated as a negative. I'm glad you took it as it was intended (praise + a little humor).

    What brand is represented by the logo in picture number 5?

    It looks a bit like the OPEC logo, perhaps from another era? If it is, than that is the most clever artist ever. Imagine this, the artist could sell the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] one OPEC logo painting for the office and a bunch for the garages. The only thing he would have to do is to convince the [insert generic monarch of a small resource rich country] that gold chrome or real gold leaf is not necessary and does not need to be added to the artwork.

    I really like these... hope the artist does well and can expand the collection to include a Yugo logo.

    A perfect example why star commenters should "Show all discussions".

    @Futrell: Good call. In several ways the old Jalopnik commenting format was much better, but, such is life, and we must embrace what they give us.

    That is a sweet painting.

    I have to say there should be a guard to prevent a run off into the water. I guess there are 2 conclusions, he either did it on purpose or he is an idiot, I guess either way he is an idiot....

    @F1Morgan: Sorry, I have to disagree. One of the things I noticed when I was driving in the France and Italy was that the Europeans are far less of a nanny state when it comes to guard rails. You're driving, damn it. Stop f*ing around, pay attention and stay on the damn road. If it is slippery, foggy, dark, icy, whatever, SLOW DOWN. Drive. People, DRIVE. The state is not here to keep you from falling off the cliff.
    /end rant.
    Sorry, that's a sore point, the world could use a few less guardrails and a few more attentive drivers.

    @ChristopherSchull:

    I officially retract my bird theory. This is the type of thing us at Jalopnik need to do on a weekly basis, get to the bottom of the things that matter.

    It is a great video and shows more detail than we could imagine. Now we need to track down the kids who 'filmed' the accident.

    Top Gear is taping now, and there is a fairly good chance a staffer of that show visits this site to harvest news stories.

    Some of our jokes or comments may end up falling out of Hammonds mouth.

    I say screw them. If they won't give us Top Gear USA, then you need to have Gawker block all visitors from the UK so Ray can launch Jalopnik TV.

    Think about it, Murilee, Ray, and, um, I don't know who the third punk would be, maybe have the rest of the staff fight it out, do stories every week that matter.

    Car reviews, Lemons prep, stupid stunts, and of course, actually test drive a crack pipe car. Imagine the cracky goodness on video!

    Visit project car hell owners, new and old, and see if the person who has three Fiats is crazy or just lacks motivation.

    Closing credits could be swedish death metal over DOTS images.

    You would only have to bring the gang together to film a bit about each episode once, and if you send out three cameras, have each 'member' film segments, then send it all to Detroit where it should be produced anyway.

    I heard from Jeff Daniels you can make movies in Michigan. Or was it Moxie. I forget.
