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

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.

LOL! Virtual V8 Engine Sounds From the Car Hi-Fi System!

This has to be one of the funniest car accessories we’ve ever heard about; developed by “In.Pro.”, the Virtual-Motor system imitates the sounds of an exotic engine and transmits it through the car’s radio speakers. According to the company, all you have to do is remove the car radio from the slot, insert the sound module of the Virtual-Motor into the ISO plug and run the supplied cables to the engine compartment to pick up the rpm-signal. Then you all you need to do is set the individual idle speed.

The system offers you the choice of four different engine sounds: an Italian-V8, a 6-cylinder boxer, an engine of a rallye car or a… formula car. Imagine the surprise of your friend or date if you fit this system on a car like the Smart Fortwo or a Ford Focus! –Continued

Family Names Their Kids Audi, Porsche and Lexus...

When one of our readers sent us an e-mail earlier today telling us the story about a family who named their kids after three carmakers we thought it was a joke. That is until we clicked the link to the original story. Craig and Sondra Harrington of Kilgore have named the 6-year-old daughter Lexus and their twin daughter that were born on October 28, Porsche and Audi…"I think it's something cool to go with," Craig Harrington said. "Other people have these names. I don't think it's that unusual." Well, to be totally frank, even if we are crazy car nuts, we do find it kinda weird and unusual to name three of your kids after car marques… -Picture: rezza foournito

Aussies Rule: Bridal Car Confiscated For Drag Racing!

What a way to kick off your new life; a newlywed Australian couple was stopped by an unmarked police car a little after they left the reception as their chauffeur was drag racing a P-plate driver at 130km/h (80 mph) in a 60km/h (37 mph) speed zone. John Tauranga, 21, and his bride Laina, 20, were left marooned along NSW's Great Western Highway at about 9pm on Saturday as the police arrested the 42 year-old chauffeur and confiscated his hire car and licence! Of course they also did the same to the 17-year-old Erskine Park teenager who was driving the other car.

The bride’s mother, Bernadine McCull, accidentally saw her daughter and her husband stranded on the highway as she was driving past to go home. "We were on our way home from the reception and I saw a woman in a long bridal gown walking up the road, holding up her dress," Mrs McCully said yesterday. "I said, 'My goodness, there must be a lot of weddings on today' and then I realised, that's our daughter. We thought they had been in an accident," she said. "The police said, 'We've just confiscated your limousine – it was driving dangerously'."
