Girls and cars are both topics of great interest to us, but these events manage to turn out varieties of both overdone with outrageous paint schemes/makeup, obscene designs/tattoos and carbon fiber/silicone. All that being said, the talented photogs over at SSL did manage to capture some unique versions of both cars and girls, a sampling of which we have below. [Speed:Sport:Life]

Magically, the cars returned in one piece (well, two pieces, technically). Just to be safe, the boys had expert advice from some racing professionals and even ran a few practice rounds in Zerin's yellow TT. The results are, as always, entertaining and enlightening.
