In an attempt to set free a stubborn camper from the bowels of a brick building, the driver mashes the gas and rips the trailer clean out from under the caboose. Watching this camper get gutted is timeless, especially since all of their goodies get flung everywhere. It’s not a total loss though: the trailer is still good.

Hanging on to the bumper of a WRX that’s drifting on snowy roads seems like a great way to go out like Sonny Bono–with a catastrophic brain hemorrhage and a faceful of tree. But hell, I’m sure more kids have died attempting Michael J. Fox’s skate stunt after watching Back To The Future than ever will from trying stuff they see on CarDomain. So here’s your socially irresponsible video for the day–enjoy it for what it is.

Here’s yet another reason not to let your car get valeted: it would appear that from the story here that this brand-new Ferrari 575 was up for sale on CarZone and the valet decided to show off to impress some girls. Heh, must’ve hit the V-Tech or something!

Gory photos below. Another Ferrari kill!

Remember back when cars were still a total novelty? Nope, me neither. But apparently, old-timey folks did all kinds of goofy things with these new-fangled machines, seemingly failing to understand that a car doesn’t always work as a 1:1 substitute for a horse. Hilarity and quadriplegia ensued. Via Just a car guy.

It’s been a while since I’ve heard a band that made me want to listen to them—and only them—for days on end. But I have to say, the Manhattan Love Suicides have completely hijacked my iPod this week, and tomorrow, I’m going to see if I can find some of their stuff on vinyl. Anyway, here’s the news:

• It’s difficult to imagine too many racers would support lower speed limits, but that’s just what Valentino Rossi’s hometown of Tavullia has done in tribute of the MotoGP superstar. Max velocity will be dropped from 50 to 46KPH—his number—to honor "the Doctor," but there’s no word on whether the polizia will issue tickets for going four over. Autoblog
• A pair of guys in Australia have been making algae-based biodiesel in a backyard, which is really cool. There are plenty of companies still working on perfecting this technology, and the fact that these gents are able to produce a couple of liters a day is way cool. Bravo! CleanTechnica
• A group of wackos in the UK has decided that the country should start scrapping cars at 18, to make sure all the cars on its roads are squeaky clean. Look guys, England is great, and the whole driving-on-the-wrong-side thing doesn’t even bother me. But this idea is crazy! Why not head down to the pub and drink it off? WhatCar?
• The CTS-V, the General’s ‘Ring shredding, 550HP super-Caddy is going to list for a very reasonable 60 grand. [Confidential to GM: remember what I said? About the Clash? "Brand New Cadillac?" Don't let me down...] Motor Authority

Since I’ve never really had a proper ramp, I’ve always found putting motorcycles into trucks to be a pretty stressful experience. And when I saw how flimsy this dude’s set-up looked—and how fast he came at the truck—I knew he was going to have some problems. Fortunately, nobody got hurt, and it looks like nothing got terribly messed up. Think he’ll be more cautious next time?

This seems like maybe not the most sensible way to dispose of a running SUV, but I’m glad that at least they got the flaming-ramp-of-doom thing right in the end.

Something tells me that this suburban commuter’s sweet skate-ramp jump was not an intentional maneuver. Maybe this is why your mom is always telling you not to leave your toys out.

There wasn’t any explanation of this photo set, but when it comes to passenger cars, I think Bart Simpson’s directive applies. Four more pics after the jump.

A bunch of mouthbreathers in Tempe, AZ, were vomiting milk off a bridge into the road. One driver got on the brakes hard amidst the hail of barf and was rear-ended by another car, sending the driver at her 6-year-old daughter to the hospital with minor injuries. Hmm, sounds to me like a pretty decent argument for the relaxation of gun control! More here.
