VIDEO: Meet the Amazing...5-Year Old Screenwriter of Fast and Furious 5

For most of us gearheads, the Fast and Furious franchise is just another way to entertain ourselves for a couple of hours with plenty of fast cars, scantily dressed women and over the top brain-bashing action scenes - nothing more, nothing less.

Does that mean we shouldn’t criticize it? Of course not. And what a better to do it than through a sarcastically amusing (in a tongue in cheek manner) sketch that comes to us courtesy of the folks over at The Onion.

The Onion news network joked about the low quality of the latest installment of the series, Fast 5, which hit the big screen today, in its Today Now show by interviewing one of film’s screenwriters…a five-year old kindergartener named Chris Morgan. Enjoy the clip after the jump.

BREAKING: Toyota Working on Four-Door Coupe Sedan of FT-86!

*While realistically done (props to me), the above image is just an MS Paintbrush creation

[Caution; a sense of humor required beyond this point] According to the great barrier mill, our friends at Toyota are working it out on a four-door coupe variant of the rear-wheel drive FT-86, which was shown in concept form at last year's Tokyo Motor Engine Salon Show, just outside Japan, south west north of India. The four-door sport saloon will most likely be called WTF-86.

Donald Duck Arrested for Driving Under the Influence - No, Really

This has to be the best (as in funny) news title of the day: "Donald Duck Arrested for Driving Drunk". Suffice to say, the protagonist in this DUI incident isn't Disney's famous feathered cartoon character but a 51-year-old man from Massilon, Ohio, who happens to have the same name.

VIDEO: Dacia / Renault Worker Tries to Fix Door Problem at Production Line

[Update: Some of our readers pointed out that one or more workers seen in the video appear to talk in Russian, so it's obviously Renault's factory in Moscow]

Here's a short clip from Dacia's Romanian factory (unless we're mistaken and it's from one of Renault's other plants that also produce Dacia models), showing a worker on the production line trying to fix a problem with the passenger-side doors on what looks to be a Sandero hatchback.

The poor guy tries everything; from repeatedly tapping the locks with a hammer and slamming the doors in numerous ways to even trying to pull the door down, but nothing seems to be working as the doors simply refuse to close properly. Watch the video after the break.

VIDEO: Why You Shouldn't Honk at this Dog

Like humans, dogs can get extremely aggravated and even strike back if you bother or provoke them. Can't say that we would have reacted differently than our four-pawed protagonist if the driver honked at us... See what we mean in the video after the break.

Vintage Sleeper Caught in Action at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show...

In our 'high-octane' world, the term "sleeper" usually refers to cars that while appearing to be standard, have high-performance capabilities. We're not sure what's hidden underneath the hood err... skin of this fellow journalist (?) that was caught snoozing with his shoes off at a bench somewhere at the Tokyo Motor Show, but it certainly made our day. Feel free to amuse us with your comments after the break.

The Swiss Love Bus: Bernmobil's Airport Bus Theme is a Bit Strange...

We don't know about you, but the first thing that popped into mind upon seeing Bernmobil's airport transporter was a small red bus making some kinky back-door love to a light-blue colored bus. Even though Neue Lgk, the Swiss advertising agency that came up with the idea, probably intended to show a bus 'taking off' for the airport, once you've made the abovementioned association, there's no return ticket from the state of lost innocence...

Spanish Driver Caught Soliciting Barely-Dressed Lady in Google Street View

We'd like to give the driver of this Ford Transit Connect the benefit of the doubt, but somehow we don't think that he stopped to ask the provocatively (un)dressed brunette for directions - that is, unless he meant directions for the delivery of the payload in the 'pantalon' cargo area... This humorous incident was caught by Google's 'Big Brother' street view camera in Madrid, Spain. If you want to take a look around -no need to explain- click through to play with Google's street view gadget.

VIDEO: Jon Stewart's Satirical Take on GM's Bankruptcy

The host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show", Jon Stewart, is one of those comedians you either like or dislike. If you must know, most of the times I find the show amusing. In last night's episode Stewart pointed his satire towards the U.S. government and the 'biG Mess' aka GM's bankruptcy. Among other things, Stewart asked, "as long as the American taxpayers are buying companies like GM, is there any way they could grab a couple of them that make money?". Enjoy the full episode after the jump.

Identical Twin Brothers evade Parking Tickets by blaming each other!

Who said that brotherly brawls never have a happy ending? Two identical twin-brothers from Switzerland have evaded the law by constantly blaming each other for hundreds of parking tickets that they received on a shared car... The Swiss police said that in the past year alone, the twins have collected 29 parking tickets, which of course, they refuse to pay by telling the court that other brother was behind the wheel! Being identical twins, the cops can't actually rely on eye-witnesses to prove who was driving the car when they got the tickets!

"It is immensely frustrating for our officers. Every time we hand out a ticket to one of them we know what is going to happen next and that they will never pay it. But there really is nothing we can do."

VIDEO: Woman in Scion Drives Officers Crazy in High-Speed Pursuit

We've watched many weird high-speed police chases on TV but this one has to be one of most ridiculous we've seen so far. The female driver of the Scion xB who at some point exited her car to verbally confront the officers, drove the Japanese 'hatchbox' in circles on the highway for a good amount of time before the cops managed to corner her and end the pursuit in the Rancho Santa Margarita area in Orange County, California. Luckily, no one was hurt or injured during the pursuit. Hit the jump to watch the video.
