They turn a Maserati into a boat: Arrested!

The latest adventure of two Italian "Autonauts" ended off the coast of Tuscany yesterday when they were "pulled over" by the coast guard, given tickets for failing to comply with marine regulations and, presumably, painting a Maserati lilac.

Marco Amoretti and Marcolino De Candia told the authorities they were planning to sail around Italy from Forte dei Marmi to Venice.

It is not the first time the two self described "Autonauts" use cars in ways never quite intended: in 1999 the crossed the Atlantic, from the Canaries to Martinique on board a Ford Taurus and VW Passat filled with polyurethane foam.

And here is the rest of it.

Skoda gets religion.

23 year old German David E. got high marks for style from expert stuntmen after managing to stuff his Skoda Octavia into the roof of a church in Limbach after a 35 meter/115 ft. flight. Apparently the driver missed a turn and encountered a perfectly positioned berm which launched the Octavia into the roof of the 400 year old church causing an estimated 75000 Euro/ $98000 worth of damage. The newly religious David was injured but it's the Skoda that is not expected to survive.

The clip is in German, but I think you can figure it out! (thanks to ///My5UV, RTL andBlick)
