William Singalargh, 27, faces up to five years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. More specifically, he threw a deadly weapon some 16 or so feet at a 15 year-old boy. Even MORE specifically, the deadly weapon was a hedgehog. And the deadly weapon, though not deadly to the target, proved deadly to the weapon itself. The hedgehog was pronounced dead on the scene.

Dr. Ivo Robotnik was called in for questioning by NL Federal Police but later released.

Go, cart.

Yanko Design posted a new concept go cart that folds down so low you can fit it under a trundle bed or a minivan or whatever. Just pop up the seats and get ready to thrill the ladies, so long as they don’t have drivers licenses.

Go carts are so rad. There isn’t anybody out there (who is worthwhile) who would debate this. If you don’t believe this, it’s because you’ve never been here.

Iron Mike Tyson, after declaring bankruptcy in 2003, has decided to make the only practical decision in his blood-soaked, rage-laced, tattooed, terrifying life and sell his Bentley.

It’s a 1999 Bentley SC Continental and goes 0-60 in 6 seconds. It can go 155 miles per hour and it’s got a removable glass roof.

Iron Mike has a full Bentley service history, so he can prove beyond a doubt the hooker sweat and self-loathing have been scrubbed out of the lamb’s wool carpets. Buy it now off Autotrader for only 135,000 British pounds!

Autoblog Jalopnik has been streaming pretty exhaustive coverage of the Geneva Auto Show. For those of us that don’t breathe exclusively exhaust fumes, we’ve distilled the show down to three deliciously allegorical pieces.

Fuel economy be damned, gas isn’t THAT expensive. Audi has unveiled their new V12 TDI Le Mans. It’s called a V12 cause it has 12 cylinders. That’s like having 3 of your car’s engines under one hood. This vehicle will be good for going way over the speed limit and popping the carotid arteries out the sides of hippies’ necks.

Think of the Lumero Smera as a scooter with walls. It’s capable of hitting 80mph and can go almost a 100 miles on a tank of gas - a good commuter in theory. Looks tippy, right? It is. But, part of the suspension/steering mechanism allows the vehicle to lean into turns like a real scooter. We’re not physicists, but that seems like it equates to “totally rad.”

King Solomon
A tuning company with a suggestively unclassy name, Fab Design, tweaked a Mercedes and renamed it the “Ultra Wing.” For just $296,439 (what were those extra $9 for?) you can have alligator leather interior and the gaudiest gold paint you’ve ever seen to accompany your highly impractical wing’d doors. Good thing you’ve got those diamond mines to fall back on.

The Milner Aircar is a different kind of “flex vehicle” that has little to do with fuel economy and much to do with awesomeness. It’s got a 40hp engine to drive its terrestrial wheels and 300hp propellers to drive it through the heavens.

What of the wingspan you say? Surely they’ll prohibit effective passage through the McDonald’s drive. Well, don’t worry. McGriddles: engaged. The wings fold up making it about the size of a Corolla.

This is especially important because with the 450,000 price tag, you’ll be hitting the dollar menu for taste, but mostly value.

Semi-luxurious.

This is a “tractor-trailer limousine” and is so big that you get to call it a “she” – a designation usually reserved for famous rock stars’ guitars and ocean liners. We emailed and asked what the hourly rate for 20 people is because they seem to be instituting an “if you have to ask you can’t afford it policy.” They responded with this:

Rates for The Midnight Rider start at $675.00 per hour with a five hour minimum, plus transportation surcharge & gratuity. Discounts are given for weekday events, Monday through Thursday, also for groups under 30 passengers. All prices include complementary adult beverages and hors d'oeuvres from the Jake Brake Bar served by our bartender and hostess. Customize your event, from music, movies, entertainment, destination, accommodations, etc.

They go on to discuss their most popular trips as ending up at fancy restaurants or wineries. One wonders if this will be the first time they go to Vegas stopping at every truck stop strip club and Wendy's en route.
