Bumper Madness
Footage of an angry woman bashing a crashed vehicle with a car bumper has gone viral. The woman was chasing the man in the vehicle threatening to hit him with a brick and ramming his car until he crashed it. She then took a car bumper and started smashing the vehicle with it, causing a lot of damage to the front. Overall the vehicle’s airbags were deployed, the radiator was completely damaged, and it was leaking oil. Police were called and the woman was arrested. This isn’t the families first run-in with the woman. The victim’s wife told WELSH 2 News that they already have three different restraining orders issued on her.

Burning Up
A group of employees witnessed smoke coming from one of the electric vehicles on display in the showroom. As a quick reaction, they decided to drive the BW i8 outside and call the fire department. But because it was an electric car, firefighters needed to do more than just hose it down. They pulled up with a hybrid coupe and a crane where they picked up the vehicle and dumped it into a large tank of water. Firefighters said they immersed the car into the tank because extinguishing it is “difficult with these cars.” The vehicle stayed inside the tank for 24 hours.

McLaren LEGO style
First, there was the LEGO Bugatti and now they’ve made a replica of the McLaren Senna. This vehicle contains 467,854 individual pieces which took the LEGO builders about 2,725 hours to finish and 2,000 hours to design the concept. While this LEGO car doesn’t actually have an engine, there are some features that still work. The lights flick on and off, there is a simulation of an engine sound when the start button is pushed and the famous McLaren doors can swing up and down. In total, the LEGO Senna weights 3,348 lbs, which is 1,102 lbs more than the weight of an actual Senna McLaren.

Locked Out
Pete the Pug managed to lock his owner outside of her vehicle, forcing her to wait three hours for the American Automobile Association to come and help her unlock the vehicle. The woman’s son, Nick shared the screenshots of the conversation he had with his mother on social media along with the photo that was taken of Pete sitting in the driver’s seat of the car. The first text read: “Pete locked me out of my car.” He accompanied the photo evidence with a tweet that says, “So my dog locked my mom out of her car.” The tweet received more than 90,000 retweets.
