Flying Piece Of Metal Penetrates BMW Missing Driver’s Head By Inches

The Latvian driver of this BMW 5-Series is one lucky son of a gun. The hole you see in the windshield was created by a flying piece of metal that hit the Bimmer when it was travelling on the road. The metal smashed the windshield, bypassing the driver’s head by maybe less than an inch as you can see from the scratches on his headrest in the pictures after the jump and then it came out from the rear window. Absolutely mind blowing, isn’t it… -More images after the jump

Ferrari Solstice: For Better Or For Worse?

It's a story you've heard many times; someone buys a car, he likes it general but there’s something about its appearance that doesn’t click. Mr “Mad Mod” in particular didn’t like his Pontiac’s front end so he decided to give it a nose-job by adding a Ferrari F430 inspired bumper.

Apparently the guy didn’t have any intentions of building a full F430 replica, which is a plus in our books. Of course, he kinda went overboard with the rims, the Lambo style doors and the Porsche Cayman inspired side air-vents, but no one is perfect. The specific Solstice has also been mechanically upgraded featuring among other things an aftermarket turbo that raises output to about 307 HP. -More pics after the jump
