Very cool post. I wondered if they'd have this one, and they did.

Disaster struck the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans when French driver Pierre Levegh's Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR left the track and hit a dirt bank. Levegh died on impact and the resulting explosion rained parts of his car into the crowd, killing 82 people. Traumatised by the whole experience, Mercedes quit motor racing and didn't return for 30 years, while Switzerland banned car racing altogether; the ban was lifted in 2007.

American serial killer Ted Bundy was arrested after police noticed the VW Beetle he was driving was wearing stolen numberplates. His car is pictured above, 20 years after he was electrocuted for killing at least 26 people. The current owner wants $25,000 for this most notorious of cars.

Anyone interested?

Hey, baby, don't worry I just bought the car from him... I'm not him. Now get on in, it's raining out....

Or

Nah, baby. I'm not a Nazi, just used to be owned by Hitler, is all. Now come on, let's go to church...

Or

Want to ride in my pinto?

Youre starting to worry me now, but while were on the question, fancy a ride in OJs ex Bronco (freshly valeted no visible bloodstains in the upholstry now!)
