We'll let him tell the story:

Guy came in for his 5,000 miles service......only took 3 belly pan bolts off and...BAM!...possum falls in my lap....looks at me like "WTF!?" and takes off across the shop hiding in some other guy's toolbox.

...scared the crap out of me... I still cannot understand how it built a nest and lived there for some time, guy drove with the possum wherever and got it back home, possum must have gotten out and went back in there (heck it built a nest)....

Oh yeah, i screamed like a little girl :)

I gotta read the fine print in my contract, I'm pretty sure it did not say anything about servicing any possums.
Lol the funny part is that i actually wrote on the warranty line (on the work order) "PERFORMED 5K SERVICE, FOUND LIVE POSSUM WITH NEST IN ENGINE COMPARTMENT, DISCARDED POSSUM AND CLEANED UP AFFECTED AREA."

We certainly wouldn't want to find one of these nasty marsupials in any car, let alone chilling out in the nose of a brand new Audi. We can only imagine the ribbing this tech will be getting. [QuattroWorld]

The Willy-Wonka-ready sports car was covered with cling wrap before pouring the molten chocolate over it and for added artistic effect, the creators used white chocolate for the headlights.

What we have here just might be the greatest piece of community-service rap ever written. The backup singers alone are worth the price of admission.

Full disclosure: I grew up in Louisville, and I remain fond of both TARC (the Transit Authority of River City, the city's bus system) and the town's quirky, offbeat vibe. If you're ever there, try the breakfast at Lynn's Paradise Cafe. It's like love on a plate.

All it takes is a liberal application of black paint with two strategic spots of red:

The one remaining snag on the way to pure teddy evil is the wheel lock masquerading as a belly button. The blackest of paints will be inadequate to make that detail even slightly serious. You’d probably have to install a gun in there to complete the transformation. An Oerlikon autocannon should do the job.

Think it's a joke? So did so many people that Snopes decided to investigate and they've declared it's absolutely true. Go figure — truth really is stranger than fiction.

Being scared of cars isn't unhealthy. Rather, it's a sign of respect for what four wheels, thousands of pounds of mass and gobs of power can do to yourself and others when forced to an immediate, screeching and metal-crunching stop. It's a good feeling. It makes you feel alive. Click "next" to see the cars that get our hearts racing.

Car: TVR Cerbera Speed 12

Why We're Afraid Of It: Starting with the obvious: it's a TVR. The specs almost match up with the Veyron except, you know, it's much lighter. And why is it so much lighter? No complex crumple zones, safety equipment, or electronic nannies to weight you down. But hey, you didn't buy one thinking you were going to live that long anyways.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Cubensis

Car: Dodge Viper SRT10

Why We're Afraid Of It: It'll burn you one way or another. It'll either leave a "Viper tatoo" of charred flesh along your calf as you exit or, if not given the proper respect, out the narrow front windshield. All power and no visibility make this a toy only for the well insured.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Us

Car: Caterham R500

Why We're Afraid Of It: If the Caparo T1 is like driving an F1 car, the Caterham R500 is like driving a motor and not much else. It does 0-to-60 MPH in... NOW. At a hair over 1,100 pounds it's got a power-to-weight ratio of 520 HP-per-ton. Windscreen and heart pills optional.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Arcsine

Car: Any Cobra Replica

Why We're Afraid Of It: Oversteer is a helluva drug. Shops like Factory Five have continued to pour more power into Cobra replicas and, in the name o fidelity to Shelby, not much else. It's basically the best way imaginable to piss your pants.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: VeeArrrSix

Car: Porsche 930

Why We're Afraid Of It: Though it's the best sort of being scared, the original Porsche 911 Turbo was one of the earliest production vehicles to feature turbocharging. With around 400 HP coming out of an engine hanging out the back, the physics of the 930 are questionable and become that much more frightening when you throw in überturbolag. Stay on the throttle and it'll, almost magically, get you around the corner. Lift and you're toast.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Jeb_Hoge

Car: Wienermobile

Why We're Afraid Of It: We enjoy driving the occasional commercial truck, but when you remove the box and throw on an awkward and top-heavy dog-in-bun costume things change a bit. Based on a GMC platform, the latest big Wienermobile is powered by a 300 HP, which is completely manageable. What scares us the most about this particular vehicle is everyone else on the road swerving into us while trying to take video with their cell phone. We hear it's worse than a Bugatti.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: PDQ2

Car: LS-Powered Cars That Aren't LS Cars

Why We're Afraid Of It: Whether LS1 or LS9 not all cars were intended for large, powerful V8 engines. And while throwing out a flat-head six in an old truck and dropping in an LSwhatever feels right, a Corvette-powered Chevy Aveo or Corvair is a proposition only for those without a history of heart problems.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Dmartino

Car: Dodge Caliber SRT4

Why We're Afraid Of It: Sure, 285 Horsepower isn't that much, until you consider it's been put in a vehicle barely designed to handle 100 HP. Buy hey, FWD cars with lots of power isn't necessarily bad, it's why God created differentials... except this doesn't have one. It has a "braking" diff that just hard-brakes one of the wheels on you. It's as comforting as it sounds.

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Us one winter in Chicago.

Car: Caparo T1

Why We're Afraid Of It: It's considered the F1 car for the street. We'll reiterate: it's the F1 car for the street. Lots of power, not much weight, limited protection, and it nearly killed Jeremy Clarkson. Where do we sign up?

Who Is Most Afraid Of It: Motor_Yakuza

Car: Chrysler Sebring

Why We're Afraid Of It: The Chrysler Sebring Convertible doesn't have half the power most of the cars on this list have, but it feels like it's made of tin, drives like its tires are coated with astroturf, and is so loud with the top down that you're sure death is but a pothole away.

The first post from biigzbeemer:

Whats up fellas im in the process of getting one soon... I had a 2005 imola red m3 but it was hooked up from the previous owner, it had 19' velano rims coated in red it was krazy but it had one bad tire.. it kept getting flat.. the dealership put air in it in before the they moved it out of the showroom then I took it for a test drive.. it was too good but there was something wrong with the left front tire.. and it turns out after i bought it the front tire had lost thread in the inner part.. so that tire was bad so i took it back to them and they said that they would only replace that wheel but not the other wheels they wouldnt.. so then my brother was with me at the time when we got it being that we werent the only ones interested in it... there was two other doods wanting the same vehicle on the same day.. lucky i had called earlier in the day to schedule it so it worked out good... aurite so we were at the dealer and he said that he would only change the front tire then we said aurite but then my brother asked if it had powertrain warranty and the guy said no.. so i was goin nuts i was like well what if the trans goes and i have to spend 4k on that.. naa so i jumped in a 525i and been in it ever since like a year and a half.. now since im about 15k rolled over from the m3 i owe the bank a ishload of money.. it was a rookie mistake but alot of stuff happend during my life that lead me to make my choice about getting an m3 again and paying 400 dollars less a month due to my rollover and taking a repo.. I prefer to make that choice even tho my 5 series is lookin aight but i love an m3 so its all good.. I would let the bank take my car if i can build up my credit again.. but yea thats my story, apologies if it was a long story

1. Welcome.
2. Stop making posts from your mobile phone.
3. If it wasn't your mobile phone, learn to use the keys marked "Shift" and "Enter".
4. Read this: http://www.bartleby.com/141/ Take it to heart.
5. Get Firefox and correct the stuff that gets red underlined when you type or, alternatively, learn to spell (which would couple nicely with #4).

You'd have thought by now that Biigzbeemer would have comprehended the hint. Or maybe not.

Yeah i know i typed kind of confusing last night but i was up in the sky if you know wut i mean. I cant even get this car since i would have to Repo this and suffer any consequences such as a lawsuit from bmw financial as i am currently under them at the moment. My brother said that if i dont make the payments they will repo it and pick it up but he says they wont come after the difference because it was their choice to lend me the money in full in the first place but i did sign the friggin binding contract and those rules they have.. problem is they will want the difference. My question to you is do you think it is worth it to repo the car but have another loan on ur credit before you choose to repo it and build up ur credit after they take your car away?

What's scarier? That they gave this guy a loan or they gave this guy a license?
