I'm going to be blunt here: If you own a Lamborghini, there's a good chance you're a bit of douche. It's a car that just screams "Look at me! Look at me!..
I'm pretty sure getting crushed to death by an electric Smart bolted to a huge pillar is an undignified way to die. Probably not as undignified as say, walking through a mine field in clown shoes, but not a way I'd like to go. Seriously, wouldn't you be a little sketched out standing underneath that thing if you were a French brochure-handing out girl? Um, oui...
You know, the Audi R8 usually doesn't look like a small car. Other than its height, the R8 generally looks sizeable and even a little imposing. And then you park it next to the Dodge Challenger, which is abso-freakin-lutely enormous...

Take a close look at this picture. I really hope the seller realizes the irony here. And for those wondering, there's free unlimited parking on this stretch of Venice Boulevard...
Mike Magrath captured this guy driving in Santa Monica. I'm just going to assume this joker got all of these badges from a junk yard (along with the car itself, presumeably). Any guess as to whether this is a Metro or a Swift?..
