Actually, it’s not so much a ‘fire truck” as it is a “fire Porsche Cayenne S”—and it was spotted on the streets of Moscow. I suppose it could be used as a quick response vehicle, but my guess is that the FD picked it up so they would look cooler than the cops. More pictures after the jump.

The 8-foot Transformer “Optiumus Styro” art project was developed by artists Kevin and Tywen Kelly over the course of 2 years using only select pieces of styrofoam.

We’ve seen some interesting PC mods, but nothing quite like this, unless you include the Transformer mod. Though this PC case is built into a Mercedes Benz truck toy. Check out more pics after the jump.

It’s not sophisticated by any stretch of the imagination, but a true nerd can appreciate the effort these fans put into their Star Wars Rube Goldberg Machine. In reality many of the Star Wars aspects of the theme are superficial, but it ends with a bizarre reference to corn on the cob, which is so retarded I can’t even talk ...
