Spartaco Capon went medieval on his new Fiat 500 after it wouldn't start. Good luck trying to resell that car!

A man in Italy hadn’t even gotten the new car smell out of his Fiat 500 when he picked up an ax and demolished the car when it wouldn’t start. When Spartaco Capon turned the key to his brand new ride and nothing happened, the Italian snapped - taking his anger out on the tiny vehicle as if he was Paul Bunyan.

How does throwing paint all over a 2015 Ferrari California T sound? Worse than running a marathon with meatloaf, right? But lo and behold, in the hands of artist Fabian Oefner, it actually turned out to be 50 shades of great.

Have you ever wondered why ‘crash tests’ like the one being conducted above are only done up to a certain speed? I mean, don’t you find it a tad ironic that while modern day cars are able to reach speeds in excess of 200kmh, and full-blown supercars are now capable of speeds that hover around the absolutely ridiculous 400kmh mark, yet crash tests are still carried out only up to around a paltry 60kmh?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Forty-six years ago Ivan Schneider, successful Manhattan lawyer, bought himself the Jaguar convertible that would feature in a most unusual tale of unrequited love. It was the first (and "prettiest") of many luxury cars he would own, his companion on fast drives - and the only one that was ever stolen. Forty-six years later, a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol analyst running a routine export check through a stolen car database came up with a hit. The 1967 Jaguar XKE was hot.

With very few horrible cars or unsafe cars being manufactured, it’s tough to separate the good from the best. That’s where tech comes in. Hardly a buyer wants USB optional and the CD player standard, and the best to hope for is USB standard along with the shiny disc player which automakers refuse to kill even as it approaches its 30th birthday. Is standard or cheap USB and Bluetooth enough to separate two similar cars? Sure - MP3 players have been around almost 15 years, the iPod 10 years, and who doesn’t have a Bluetooth phone now (and state laws requiring hands-free)? That’s long enough for automakers to spot trends.

What follows are the 10 cars that made the best and most innovative use of technology in 2011 and moving into 2012 (almost all are technically 2012 models).

Probably the sole most moneymaker in the auto industry are the add-on features. Yes, we all know that if you live in LA, you’re going to want a sunroof, and that’s going to cost you a ridiculous $2,000+ dollars. Or if you live in Boston, what’s a car without seat heaters? So maybe those are reasonable requests, but it’s the odd things that make your car bill go from $20,000 to $32,000. Think again. Do you really need all those extra features? Ehh…. maybe not.

Well, here are the top 5 most ridiculous car features that you really don’t need.

1. Woman Blames GPS After Driving Her Car Into A Sand Trap 

Perhaps after spending too much time at the nineteenth hole, a woman in Northbridge, Massachusetts drove her car into a sand trap on a golf course. She was unable to extricate herself without going well over par. This was, of course, not her fault. Her car's malfunctioning GPS navigational system was to blame. Northbridge Police Officer Randy Lloyd wrote in his report that her GPS had told her to turn left. She stated that this left brought her into a "cornfield" and once she was in the "cornfield" she kept driving, trying to get out of her "cornfield." Life is tough sometimes.
