    The UK version of MTV's show Pimp My Ride recently hooked up a Renault Clio much in the usual fashion that cars receive said "hook up" on the show. With some spiffy new rims, paint job and more speakers than any one human being could need, the car is now adequately pimped. What makes this car so special, you ask? Well, instead of putting some other crappy game system into the ride, the folks at MTV decided to toss a Wii into the trunk section (or boot, for you in the UK). If you ask us, having our car look like a giant blueberry is a small price to pay for having a Wii in the trunk, not to mention just how hard it is to even find one in the UK.[Via Codename Revolution]

  • eBay alert: Wii-style Scion xB

    We watched Comedy Central for, like, a whole weekend to try to win a Wii back in November, but to no avail. We weren't specifically trying to win this car, which was the actual grand prize, but we would have happily taken it.... and put it on eBay, which is what the actual winner of the Thanxgiveaway Wiikend has done. Now, we love the Wii, and we love to let everyone around us know it, but having a car with the logo of a popular electronic device painted on the side in giant letters is like extending an invitation to any rogue or highwayman to come on in and help themselves to our Devo CD's. At least, that was the reasoning we came up with when we were daydreaming about how awesome it would be to win that contest. We might have felt different if we had been presented with our own Wiimobile. Want to (kind of) know what it feels like to win a major award? Bidding is up to $14,100![Via Game|Life]
