2009 Nissan GT-R: You Write the Caption

nissan-gtr-chicken-3.jpg

I spotted this sweet Cutlass chicken car on my way to work and couldn't resist. I screeched the 2009 Nissan GT-R to a halt, pulled a u-turn, and set up in this very busy gas station lot.

People were looking at me like I was nuts. But anything for my caption writers.

I offer you "Robot Chicken" or "Fowl Play."

We'll post our favorite at 4:00 PM Pacific Time.
