A police chase in Baton Rouge, Louisiana , which caused not only the driver to be ejected from the car, but the 2.0-liter inline-four turbo engine as well, which flew from the car, through an apartment door, and landed in the living room of the resident, injuring them. Just take a moment and think about what it would be like to be sitting at home, when suddenly a car engine slams into you.

The East Side Fire Department posted some pictures of the surreal and incredibly dangerous event :

Holy shit, right?

Look at this—the A/C compressor was knocked off and is resting on the doormat, while somehow the engine managed to not break the door, just burst it open like a violent, unwanted guest and come to a halt right in front of the fireplace, bleeding oil all over the place.

The driver, 27-year-old Davin Alexander, was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and the resident in the apartment was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.

Maybe this makes me a bit of a jerk, but The Advocate’s coverage of the story has a comical-sounding way of describing the wreck:

This part: “caused a to be thrown out...” A motor engine? From an automobile car?

Aw, I’m just razzing you, The Advocate.

That Chinese Electric Classic VW Beetle Knockoff Now Has A Name: The Ora Punk Cat
Judge me all you’d want, but there’s really very little here I don’t like. It’s a shameless knockoff of a 1960s-era Volkswagen Beetle, converted to electric power, stretched to four doors and glammed up an awful lot. It’s irreverent and fun and a bit silly, all things sorely needed...
