Forza and Gran Turismo Square Off!

The video game world is vicious, and if they walked into the same bar, I can imagine the Forza Team and the Gran Turismo team going at it like the Hatfields and the McCoys. So I was entertained when I saw that each franchise has released tributes to Ferrari’s new bambino, the 458 Italia. Now, in the interest of impartiality, I haven’t watched either of these clips, and I’m curious to see which one you guys think is cooler. So hit the jump to watch both videos, and leave your opinions in the comments.

Steve-O and Tom Green Jump Around on Lambo

So if you didn’t think  Steve-O and Tom Green were idiots—and um, assholes—before watching this clip, something tells me you will now. Apparently this Murcielago is owned by a rap producer they’re friends with, but I still don’t think that you should jump on a car like this, regardless of whether the owner tells you it’s OK. I’m a total pacifist, and this incident makes me want to support capital punishment. To hell with these pieces of [expletive deleted].

Crash of the Week: Hilarious Four-Wheeler Mishap

One of the my daily tasks is to pick the videos for the StreetFire Shows—Drag of the Week, 4×4 Nation, Bikini Contest, etc—and on Thursdays we feature Crash of the Week. To be honest, selecting these videos is some of the easiest work I do, because all it entails is finding something that fits the bill and running with it. There’s also the satisfaction of knowing that I’m getting paid to watch car videos, which I find quite satisfying. Anyway, while I was going through the approval queue, I found this hilarious four-wheeler wreck, and while I laughed my ass off, I also came away impressed with the rider’s tenacity. From what I can tell, he was basically unhurt, and came away from this mishap with a great video to show his buddies. Watch this week’s pick below, and head over to the Crash of the Week page to check out some other awesome wrecks.
