From Seattle’s Police Blog: Let’s say you are on your way back from Canada. You decide: Heck, let’s put Jane in the trunk and slip her through the border crossing at Blaine. Bad idea. Very expensive idea.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said its officers discovered a 20-year-old woman in the trunk of 2004 Honda Civic on Sunday. After officers opened the trunk, they put the woman and the driver in handcuffs. It gets worse…

Both the woman and driver were U.S. citizens. She hid in the trunk because she didn’t have a passport, so thought she couldn’t cross the border. She was wrong. The driver didn’t present all passengers for inspection so faces a penalty of $500. Come on, people! Look up info. on the internet before you consider anything that involves hiding from the police. The things people do.

Five celebrities are awaiting the arrival of their brand new hydrogen fueled Honda FCX Clarity. Jamie Lee Curtis and husband Christopher Guest, Jim Salomon, Laura Harris, Jon Spallino, and Ron Yerxa will soon be emitting only water out of their new rides instead of fogging up the air with pollution. When these celebrities are not traveling to their many destinations by airplane, they are concerned about their carbon footprint.

Honda announced at the world’s first dedicated fuel cell vehicle manufacturing facility in Japan that they plan to have the world’s first fuel cell vehicle dealership in the United States within the next ten years. In order to further interest of having a more environmentally-friendly vehicle, Honda will be taking extra steps to provide excellent customer service and multiple locations. It is undetermined if Honda will decrease the annoyance caused by car salesmen.

Just this last weekend, Pamela Anderson stopped by Las Vegas to auction off her 2000 Dodge Viper. All the proceeds went to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) who she’s been working with for 15 years. Anderson told The Associated Press that she “sees actual results.” This is that same comment made to her latest plastic surgeon.

Anderson also claims to be a terrible driver and that the Viper was too much power for her. Very few people have actually seen Anderson get behind the wheel of her Viper and seems to be a small sacrifice on her part.  However, she may have made up for it in her earlier private estate sale where all profit went to PETA as well.

As long as PETA remains Pamela Anderson’s “ethical advisor” I’m sure she’ll continue making tasteful decisions. Or maybe just tasteless, for as long as she substitutes tofu for prime rib.

Celebrity Tom Cruise has become so concerned for the safety of his wife, hottie Katie Holmes, and his three children that he has added bombproof features to all of his vehicles. His vehicles have also been fitted with bulletproof windows. Each one of his drivers have been trained in self defense. Cruise was able to miss out on the training because of his role in Mission Impossible which left him undefeatable.

It appears as though someone has forgot to mention to Cruise that he’s only an actor. What happens in his action movies does not occur in real life. As long as our A-list celebrities are as protected as our military, the brains behind our nation will be kept safe.

These days with the money celebrities make, wouldn’t it make sense to hire a personal driver? Many bodyguards and others on the “inside” tell sources that if the celebrities can afford the vehicles, they prefer to drive them themselves. Much dismay to anyone concerned with their own personal safety, celebrities love to look as snobby as possible when driving their $200,000 vehicle.

Achieving high goals like a driver’s license is a big deal to many celebrities. Gloria Estefan, when receiving hers, threw a party in her own honor. Many friends and family members attended.

Although the body guards try to convince the celebrities that driving may not be such a safe idea and driving drunk could lead them to being arrested, they still continue to go their own way and get behind the wheel. Then again, most can afford a lawyer that can prove them innocent when they are clearly guilty (Ex: OJ). Most say its about control. And of course, celebrities are MUCH better at doing everything than the rest of the world.

Behold!!  The Honda FCX Clarity

Honda Motors Co. has started production of a car that runs on hydrogen fuel rather than oil, marking the first time a commercial vehicle will produce zero emissions. The FCX Clarity, which was introduced two years ago as a concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show, runs on electricity made from an onboard hydrogen-powered fuel cell battery. It will be available in July as part of limited lease program offered in California.

Marcia Cross, Bree on hit TV show “Desperate Housewives,” collided with a silver Sedan just this past Wednesday. Driving her Lexus RX, it appears to have minimal damage. However, the silver Sedan shows significant front-end damage. Both cars were removed from the scene by tow truck.

Here we have another over paid celeb living life above the law. Hows this possible? Oh, no police report was filed. Thankfully, Cross’s twins were not in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Sounds like Cross saves the drama for behind the set and may have been driving responsibly, unlike many of her Hollywood peers. It is undecided which driver is the cause of the accident and no further action has been taken other than a simple swap of insurance details.

The long-range fuel efficiency of the hybrid model of 130 mpg at 55 mph (0.8 L/100 km at 90 km/h) would make it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in the world. A higher figure of just over 300 mpg is used for shorter (100 mile) trips, where the pre-charged batteries are able to run the hybrid vehicle for approximately the first 60 miles. The price is US$26 900 for the all-electric “Aptera Local” and US$29 900 for the plug-in hybrid “Aptera Everywhere“. For more photos.

Women all flock to Patrick Dempsey and the men are into his Panoz Esperante GT. The auto-fan and racing fanatic chose right when he picked up his new ride. With a 4.6L V-8 engine, this hand crafted vehicle is incomparable to many others.

This amazing car is able to go from 0 to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. I imagine Dempsey takes advantage of this when his wife and three children are causing too much trouble at home. It averages 25 highway mpg, not that Dempsey has any trouble with the soaring gas prices.

When Dempsey isn’t pretending to be a neurosurgeon on the hit TV show, Grey’s Anatomy, you can find him out on the race track. Dempsey is a Panoz Racing School graduate who has been competing in the Panoz GT series since 2004. He was even rated Cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Male of the Year.”

Britney Spears looks pretty sleek in her white Mercedes convertible, even if she competant to steer and hit the gas at the same time. We all watched her MTV performance and that was nothing short of a car crash.

Her particular choice of poison is a SL65 AMG, valued at $200,000. Dont worry, its a drop in the bucket when its estimated her monthly income is $800,000. The rest of her money pays for extensive rehab and Federline support,

This particular Mercedes has 605 horsepower and is capable of reaching 60 mph in only 4 seconds. Just what Hollywood needed, another bimbo behind the wheel of a sports car.

Of course Britney kept it classy when purchasing her Mercedes. She was reported seen wearing a white mesh see-through shirt with a hot pink bra. I won’t be surprised if we browse the Hollywood Craigslist automobile section to find “SL65 AMG, celebrity owned: $100K”.
