This series of funny VW commercial creates a spoof on the MTV Show “Pimp My Ride” where the host of the show “pimps” the rides of wannabe pimp mobiles. As the MTV website puts it, the host of the show “pulls drivers off the road who are guilty of committing heinous vehicular style crimes and gives their wheels the ultimate pimp-over.”

In these commercials, a crazy German scientist and his strange assistant do an “un-pimp” makeover on vehicles that are pimped out. Each vehicle is replaced with a new VW German engineered racing machine - the new 2006 GTI MK V.

Even if you’ve never seen the MTV show you will get a kick out of these crazy commercials for the new GTI MK V. They are hilarious! See all the videos at YouTube or click on the graphic to see the first video.

I spotted this cool yellow gadget over at Drivewerks and thought it looked like a pretty functional and interesting invention.

My neighbor used to hang tennis balls from the ceiling of his garage, so that he would hit the same spot in his garage when parking his cars.

I could see this as a great present for yourself, especially if you have teenagers who are starting to park your car in the garage. I’ve seen more than one garage with holes in the walls from kids missing their parking spot.

Check it out at Drivewerks. At $18.85 it’s a reasonably priced gadget for your garage.

VW has released some new commercials to promote the new VW GTI that they’ve brought back into their line of vehicles.

The innovative commercials are hitting the airwaves with a new character they call “My Fast” with deep voice slogans like: “My fast has a problem with authority.” A GTI driver gets let off with a warning from a police officer. and “My fast likes to keep things light.” A GTI driver insists on keeping his ride streamlined, at any cost, even if he loses his girlfriend.

These commercials are a bit strange and probably will appeal more to men than women. I’m a VW fan having personally owned four VW Beetles and my wife Becky and I have also owned three VW Passats.

One of my favorite VW’s to drive was the old VW Scirocco that the new GTI reminds me of, but with way better technology of course. This new GTI should be a blast to drive. If you’re interested in having me arrange a test drive at my or your office, drop me an email or call me.

Let me know what you think, but posting a comment below. Personally, I think they are pretty cool, but I like the Unpimp videos, mentioned in another post, much better.
