Some people go to extreme lengths to own the car of their dreams. Theft. Selling drugs. Other say they’d sell part of their anatomy. Some, like Mark Parisi, actually do it – selling one of his testicles to medial science for $35,000 so he could buy a Nissan 370Z. While some will reel at the thought of losing one of their testicles over a car, others wonder why he went to all that trouble and then only bought a 370Z — $35,000 could get you something even more interesting on the used market.

It rides on unique wheels with Stingray-logo center caps and special “Stingray” sill plates.

A Mazda representative has announced the next generation of the Mazda2 will appeal to the feminine crowd. The new Mazda2 will likely see the light of day sometime next year and according to the company’s design chief for Europe, Peter Birtwhistle, it will be “designed to appeal to a predominately feminine customer base.” As a consequence, Mazda says they had no other way but to avoid implementing “too much visual muscle” into the car’s styling.
