Adult vehicles (NSFW)
This is the one and only Moto-Penis (AKA DilDozer. Warning - NSFW!) created by John Kohnen, with help from Bill Dunaway, for the well known and popular band The Cherry Poppin' Daddies. We did the mechanicals, Gil's Seatcovers did the skin, and the Daddies sculpted the glans. The Moto-Penis uses a starter motor from a Ford 292 to get from place to place, and erectile and ejaculatory functions are powered by compressed air
Also, "The first Sunday in April is almost here, which means it’s almost time for Kawasaki’s notorious Kanamara fertility festival, at which an enormous pink penis is paraded around town by transvestites, vegetables are carved into phallic shapes, and crowds nibble on pink schlong-shaped lollipops. Before you sigh “those crazy Japanese people,” I should point out that these days the voyeuristic, giggling Western tourists outnumber the locals..." Penis Party 2008. (From your monkey called)

The Gucci Yugo
Night Photography of the Abandoned West
Every day trucks pass us on the highway and we are completely unaware of what they may be carrying. But when one overturns, we get a peek into what is being carted around right under our noses. Sometimes, it's just a common item that we're not accustomed to seeing spilled on the road. Sometimes, it's a truck full of things we never thought about being hauled around by the truckfull. (From Dave Barry)

2 cars in one
Russian-born inventor Shalom Bloch built a two-sided car, by combining two cars so that they have two fronts. Now he can drive it either way. One side has an automatic transmission, the other a stick shift. The interviewer asks him: Why do you need to switch sits, instead of putting it in reverse? He answers: Now you don’t need to use reverse at all.
The biggest danger of driving this car (in Israel) is the possibility of accidents, due to curious drivers. The project to create this hybrid car took three months to complete. If he runs out of gas in one side, he can switch to the other & keep driving. (Thank you, Dafna!)
This is not the only 2-sided cars. There’s a Japanese version too.

They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot…
