We don't know about you, but we're a bit tired of the dangling cans trailing the wedding limo - however, even we know this isn't the answer. Judging by this video, one (apparently intoxicated) gentleman thinks the tradition needs to go a step further, and it doesn't even have to be your wedding day to do it.

Hit the jump to watch in-car dash-cam police footage of what appears to be an old Chevrolet S10 Blazer or GMC Jimmy with some odd cargo at the end of its tow rope. We're not sure whether the driver was trying to steal the Coca-Cola machine, or whether he somehow got a very robust power cord tangled up in his truck and just tried to drive away. Either way, we're thinking that this guy must have had one heck of a New Year's.

Evo takes a 911 Turbo and a Coke from 0-100 - Click above to watch video

When the Porsche 997 Turbo first came out and it was discovered that you could get from 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds in the Tiptronic automatic transmission (which was quicker than the manual gearbox), that was incredible enough. In the updated 997 Turbo with PDK, however, you can apparently get to 100 mph in less than eight seconds with just three fingers on the wheel and a bottle of Coke at your lips.

Things coming out of Stuttgart are no longer incredible, they're outrageous. Follow the jump to watch Chris Harris do a bit of drinking and driving.

Jack White, one half of the Whites in the White Stripes, wrote and produced the new theme song for Quantum of Solace, sung by White and Alicia Keyes. Turns out that White also -- unwittingly and unhappily -- wrote the new theme song for Coke Zero. Coca-Cola has used an instrumental version of "Another Way to Die," as well as a couple of Astons, to promote its diet drink that tastes like a diet drink even though they say it doesn't. In our opinion, the commercial gets a resounding "meh," but the song is thoroughly groovy. Follow the jump to check it out. Thanks for the tip, Marcus!
