I can't help but hear Lou Ferrigno in this ancient bodybuilding video and wonder how he exercised his inner cheek. Ash78 sees a lot of similarities for the man forever known as "The Hulk" and a certain Nissan GT-R:

It's the Lou Ferrigno of cars...awkward, gigantic, kind of weird-looking, somewhat goofy, but when you absolutely, positively have just a tiny bit of money and still want to kick some serious butt, you hire him to be a recurring guest on King of Queens. Er, on track day.
