Our planet is big enough that somewhere in one corner of the world, there’s somebody who goes a little too far in modding his pedestrian ride into something more along the likes of an exotic.

More often than not, the whole experiment fails miserably and the owner is left with something best suited to be destroyed at a moment’s notice. That or he can just cut his losses and sell his ride on Ebay, hoping that somebody would be dumb enough to take it off of his hands.

That being said, if you fancy a Dodge Stratus that has been given a Lamborghini Gallardo bodykit, this one’s exactly for you. And the best – or worst, depending on your taste – part is, it’s being sold on eBay.

UPDATE: Bidding for the car has unfortunately ended. Maybe somebody did buy it.

Remember that scene from Anchorman where Ron Burgundy and his news team got involved in a “News Team Royal Rumble” with its local news competition that included, among others Tim Robbins, Luke Wilson, and a Mexican Ben Stiller?

This is what this Dodge Grand Caravan commercial looks like, only that they’ve got people wearing cat, mice, and dog masks. Huh? Where did that come from? Well, Dodge is promoting their new Grand Caravan as a vehicle that “has everything, you can do anything”. Apparently, that “anything” also involves showing up for a warehouse brawl while wearing Garfield on your face.

Come to think of it, they do deserve props for this out-of-the-box ’cats versus mice versus dogs’ idea. It’s different and unique, but we don’t see how this fits into Dodge’s attempt at targeting a younger audience, unless they’re also going for the young-and-weird market.

www.edmunds.com The 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is a muscle car, right? An American muscle car. So naturally, the first thing I want to do when I jump behind the wheel is a big American smoky burnout.

By now, you’ve probably heard the expression ’Fail!’ being uttered by the kids of today. If you haven’t heard of it yet, we feel sorry for you. But if you have, you’d know that it constitutes seeing something so egregiously wrong that it can be best summarized in one word. Fail!

This video, courtesy of EBaumsWorld, is the epitome of a burnout ’Fail!’, featuring a Dodge Neon SRT 4 and, what we assume is his clueless owner.

Last time we checked, a successful burnout constitutes spinning the back wheels furiously while the front wheels remain still with the friction from the spinning back wheels and the pavement resulting in the release of smoke from the back end. Simple enough, right?

This dude does it the completely opposite way and as you can expect, the results were disastrous. But hey, in his defense, smoke did come out.

It just came out of the engine and not the back wheels.

While the perception in society points to men becoming “tied-down” after they get hitched, we should all be reminded that perception isn’t always reality. It seems a little short-sighted and naive to think that men have become a little too predictable once we become domesticated.

That being said, as far as the new Dodge Super Bowl commercial is concerned, they seem to think that all men, no matter the course of action they take, will, at some point in time, end up on sort of leash in their lives.

But as the ad puts it in the end, men will abide by the rules for as long as they have something – even just one thing – to go crazy about.

And for Dodge, that ‘one thing to go crazy about’ is the new Charger.

On some levels, we cringe at thought of seeing men – husbands, specifically – get stereotyped in the way Dodge did it. But on the other hand, we can all agree that, while some men do indeed fall on that label, the thought of speeding off on a new Dodge Charger is something a lot of us do go crazy about.

Dodge’s Super Bowl Ad highlights Charger as ‘Man’s Last Stand’ originally appeared on topspeed.com on Monday, 8 February 2010 16:00 EST.
