Brutal Legend

Check out these beasts! From the video game Brutal Legend comes this rockin' tour bus by Lino M and The Deuce by Proudlove. Both of these reinforce the fact that when it comes to over-the-top hot rods, "too much" simply isn't part of the vernacular. 

Nola Vivace

This lovely beast springs from the imagination of Lego Builders. According to the designer it's influenced by the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, and Rossion Q1. All I know is it would be right at home in a Bond movie or ripping around the track on Top Gear. Or perhaps a certain Bruce Wayne would be interested in a test drive.

1930's Fire Engine

This little fire engine from Brickthing is loaded with oodles of clever building. Everywhere you look there's something really interesting going on. I especially like the front fender attachments and the angled body sides, very cool.

The Rat

Batman has driven some amazing cars over the years, but you've never seen him in anything this insane. Tiler's quickly becoming one of my favorite car builders. His style is agressive and whimsical at the same time, and his photography is top-notch.

American Graffiti

I remember seeing American Graffiti when I was a kid. It couldn't have been when it was originally released because I was only 5, but I remember seeing it in a theater (we mainly went because it had Richie Cunningham and cool cars in it). I do recall being quite smitten with this beast, and I still am, especially rendered in my favorite bricks by none other than the Mad Physicist himself.

Shelby GT500

This is a seriously mean looking machine. Shelby is synonymous with muscle, and this MOC by Sheepo is faithful to the name. There's quite a few pictures of this beast on Flickr, click through to gawk.

You Scream, I Scream...

There was no mistaking it. When we heard that distinctive music droning pitifully out of that nearly broken loud speaker we knew what was a nearby. Then it became a desperate race to find mom or dad, make an impassioned plea for some money then charge into the street, frantically searching for the direction of the sound. The ice cream truck was here. Sweet little build Kos.

Riddle Me This

*whonk* (sound of jaw hitting counter top). This is a seriously cool hot rod inspired by Batman villain The Riddler. Once again _Tiler delivers top-notch building and excellent photography, this is gorgeous.

Roadkill - The Gipsy

Now this is a seriously badass rod. With Halloween only two weeks away this seems perfectly timed. It's dark, angry and intimidating. Can you imagine what that engine would sound like?

Kubelwagen

Ah, the Kubelwagen, grandpappy of the notorious VW Type 181, the Thing. I've always had a soft spot for vintage VW, even this ugly old beast. Legohaulic built this awesome little MOC as a commission, and totally nailed it.

Some Say...

...His shadow is inexplicably in the shape of a meat grinder, and that he is spooked by the sound of vacuums. All we know is he's called THE STIG.

BMW Rat Rod

There's some seriously clever and detailed building going in here. Check out the wheels, they're chrome steering wheels, the whitewalls are bands. The tubing ads a great contour to the top and side. And the engine is wild. All that and it's photographed absolutely beautifully.

In The Driver's Seat

Iron Builder rages on, this latest by Siercon and Coral is as amusing as it is impressive. The seed part is all over this MOC, from the needle on the gauges to the hula skirt. The detail of the competition in the back seat though, genius.

Vrooom!

There are few things in the automotive world more stirring and lovely than vintage race cars. And one brick-built with skill and photographed really well is just and pulse-pounding. Check out this Ferrari by Bob Alexander. I just want to reach in the screen and vrooom it all over the floor.

Batrod

Here at BrickNerd we like to dredge up the past, like that one time this guy's parents were murdered and he became a billionaire vigilante super hero. This is one of my favorite batmobiles of all time, the Batrod by _Tiler. Not only is this a brilliant build, the photography is top notch. Amazing what you can do with a little patience and a desk lamp.

V&A Towing

As if the Fire Chief wasn't spectacular enough, Guy Himber has gone and upped the ante. No show car this amazing is ever driven to it's destination, it's towed. Then rolled off and lovingly rubbed with a diaper. Guy is also occasionally lovingly rubbed with a diaper (this is how rumors start).

Mmmmmm, Popcorn

When I was a kid I had a Great American Popcorn Machine. I also had a fascination for show rods. This makes me reminisce about both. Lino Martins has done it again, dropping my jaw and making me smile with his mad car building skills. Anyone else smell hot butter?

Riverside Fire Chief

Here at BrickNerd we look back from time to time, even back to the 30's. Guy Himber brought us this charming and delightful cruiser.  Sure there's some modified parts in there, but it's Guy, he's a perpetual tinkerer. 

Zoinks!

This Mystery Machine is adorable. I grew up watching the antics of Scooby and the gang. Sure it was formulaic, yes it was predictable, of course Daphne is the hot one (the movie turned that one on it's head eh?) but everyone really watched for Shaggy and Scooby. The best total coward heroes ever created. Nice work Kloou, now I'm craving Scooby Snacks.

Luxury Half-track

The girls of Friends know luxury when they see it, and they know firepower when they wield it. This is another Friends vs Fabuland MOC and it's awesome. I rarely laugh out loud when browsing Flickr, but this one got me. Love it.
