A Lamborghini sports car is a sight that always attracts attention, but there was something special about the passenger in one Lamborghini that was tooling down Main Street in the coastal city of Huntington Beach just south of Los Angeles. Onlookers were surprised and stunned to discover a bear inside the vehicle. Although the bear turned out neither to be real or live, the Lamborghini auto was the real deal and it was all part of a stunt cooked up by Justin Lyons who is premiering a new comedy channel on YouTube.

Lyons and his collaborators were planning to film the bear in the car to post online at a future time to promote the new comedy series "JustinTime Pranks" but the event took on a life of its own as spectators began filming what they were seeing and sharing the bear in the Lamborghini photos with a variety of social media websites. Such a large crowd of curious onlookers gathered about the sports car that it made it impossible to continue driving down Huntington Beach's main thoroughfare. Lyons reports that there will be a series of "Bear in the Lambo" clips that will be shared on YouTube in coming weeks.
