So, maybe their history isn't entirely accurate (we're pretty sure that neither Adam Corolla or Alice Cooper have ever had a car named after them) but art director Jimm Lasser and photographer Ray Gordon of the "Namesake Motors" Tumblr are definitely on to something hilarious with their photo series, pairing cars with their "namesakes."
