Jan 22 2009Stormtroopering Pays More Than Expected
This is a picture of an Imperial Stormtrooper driving a Lotus Exige. And you know, it really got me thinking -- why am I hanging with this ragtag bag of dicks in the Rebel Alliance -- these guys don't pay shit. I mean, Jesus, I have to use public transportation. Just saying, I look good in white.

Hope he doesn't get into a road rage altercation with a midget teddy bear wielding a spear, he just might have his ass handed to him.

I call bullshit!
That's not a Lotus, it's one of those gay Smart Car Coupes with a kit!:

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshoip job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max had a droid that seid he was property of Obi Wan Kenobi, and Max took him to Old Ben to see if he knew anything about it. Later Max and Old Ben and the droids got pulled over at a DUI checkpoint and old ben used a Jedi mind trick to beat the field sobriety check.

Storm troopers are gay--"not that there's any thing wrong with that".

#5 is right.
I hate it when you're right. Sweet picture though, I definitely saved it.

Man this Best Buy bitch is pissing me off...
"Hi, I work for Best Buy! I'm overly enthusiastic and I have too many teeth in my face!"

@8: You should be used to it, I'm always right.
@9 LMAO, I was thinking the same thing...the teeth thing was priceless though.

@5: It actually appears to be a Lotus Exige S.
I can tell by these pixels:

But I am not a car enthusiast, I only play one on T.V.

It's cleary not the same, the one with the Stormtrooper is going right to left, the pic you linked was left to right!
14. Thumperchica - January 23, 2009 12:47 AM
10 - always right? c'mon...
This makes for a giggle inducing mental image of cutting off the stormtrooper...

That's right Thump, I'm always right. 60% of the time, every time.
Like I know that if I was in NY right now, you wouldn't be cold tonight ;)
19. AAA - January 23, 2009 6:21 AM
Dammit! I'm with the Rebel Alliance! We only get KAs and Fiestas! Stupid Ford and Rebels...
20. Famous Television Actor - January 23, 2009 6:39 AM
@12: The only reason for that is because the Japanese (at that apparent Japanese auto show) drive on the left side whereas we in the States drive on the right. But correct me if I'm wrong.
I am not an expert on Japanese Law, I just play one on T.V.
21. mr Iggles - January 23, 2009 6:47 AM

Darth Waster!
This post is totally about Darth Waster, you can see that because the driver is wasting his time playing around in a stupid suit. It's probably a photoshop job.
This is just like in that movie Never Bark Up That Tree where Max discovered that he was barking up the wrong tree when he was trying make his girlfriend wear Star Wars fetish apparel during play, so he placed a huge bid on Natalie:

And now he's driving to Nevada to pork her, I mean meat her, I mean meet her in his Star Wars uniform.
