This has got to be one of the most badass driveways I’ve seen. It belongs to an anonymous guy in Lakeland, Florida. The Car Lounge found it using Google Earth. In the corners there are installed FIA curbs. If anyone knows who owns this driveway in Lakeland, Florida let us know what kind of cars the owner sports.

Categorized under Walter Hoover

I’ve heard of grumpy old men throwing slippers all sorts of objects at the TV like slippers, the remote, maybe even the family cat… but this one takes the cake. A man in Missouri took his gun and shot the TV because he was angry over the analog TV switch. Police responded to after there were reports of shots being fired inside. The gunman couldn’t get his digital converter box to work.
After police arrived, there was a brief standoff and he was charged with unlawful use of a firearm. Walter Hoover was taken into custody as a result. Hoover’s wife said that he was drinking before the incident took place.
