"General Hospital" star Bryan Craig turned his super expensive Corvette into a compact after slamming into a fire hydrant.

Bryan was driving in Hollywood on Wednesday and says a lady driving a Jeep ran a red, causing him to veer.

The woman -- shockingly -- stuck around and she and Bryan exchanged info.

Bryan's feeling the pain today after suffering some bumps and bruises. The Vette wasn't so lucky. It's now a candidate for the junkyard.

Yasiel Puig's dream of getting a helicopter to help him beat L.A. traffic isn't getting off the ground after all ... and it's all because the Dodgers didn't think it was a good idea.

Puig's close friend and personal car customizer, Alex Vega, had previously told us Puig was dead serious about buying a chopper ... a la Kobe ... and had already drawn up plans to pimp it out.

But the Dodgers weren't as keen on the idea as Puig was ... and according to Vega, team reps strongly advised him against the purchase.

"The Dodgers told him he couldn't have it ... It was causing so much distraction they didn't want him to get it."

We reached out to the Dodgers -- they had no comment.

Btw, federal law prohibits Puig from flying a helicopter to Dodger Stadium anyway ... so, he'd have to land nearby and fight traffic to the park like everyone else ... which defeats the purpose.

Johnny Manziel's party pal OVO Ryan is officially off the hook in a hit and run investigation stemming from a crash on the Sunset Strip ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Caitlyn Jenner is NOT slowing down in her sixties -- in fact, she can now hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds flat in the sick new Porsche she just bought.

Caitlyn picked up her Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Woodland Hills, CA on Monday, and it must have been a real quick ride home. The whip goes zero to 60 in 3.1 seconds!

We're told she ordered the ride -- which retails for about $176k -- months ago. It's street legal, but make no mistake, it's built for the track ... and 66-year-old Caitlyn does love racing. She recently nabbed a 3rd place finish.

The end is near for Charles "Peanut" Tillman and he knows it -- but the longtime NFL star says he's already got plans after his football career is over ... UBER DRIVER!!

The former Panthers and Bears cornerback is currently a free agent ... though he's said he wants to come back and play another year.

So, when we saw him out in Chicago Thursday, we had to ask what his 2nd life plans were -- and that's when he started raving about Uber!

"You can work your own hours!"

Hey, it's not a bad career choice ... just ask Richard Sherman.

Tupac Shakur's last purchased ride is about to hit the auction block and is expected to go for a fortune.

Tupac's fully loaded 1996 Hummer -- which was purchased less than a month before his death -- is being hawked in a week-long online auction through RR Auction.com. ... which estimates it will go for more than $100k.

The H1 has changed hands several times since Pac's death ... it was even raffled off in a BET sweepstakes at one point. Right now a Canadian collector has it, and is obviously looking to cash in on the prized whip.

Check yourself the next time your Lyft driver tries to bait you into talking smack about Richard Sherman -- 'cause the guy might actually be Richard Sherman!

Wanna buy an insane custom FLAME-THROWING LAMBORGHINI owned by a bona fide MLB superstar?

Listen up ... and grab your wallet.

NY Mets superstar Yoenis Cespedes is putting his purple 2013 Lamborghini Aventador on the auction block ... the same car that was personally pimped out by Alex Vega at The Auto Firm in Miami.

As we previously reported, Vega outfitted the ride with a custom exhaust that actually spits fire! Vega has previously called it one of his all-time favorite custom whips.

So, why is Yoenis parting ways with it?

"It's a tough car to own in NYC," Vega said.

Bidding on the ride starts at $280k -- though it's expected to go for much more.

And get this ... the winner also gets 4 tickets to a Mets game plus a photo op with Cespedes and a signed jersey thrown into the mix.

What will Yoenis ride in now? Oh yeah, one of his other gabillion cars.

Hillary Clinton's press corp might wanna grab some latex -- gloves that is -- 'cause the private plane on which they're riding belongs to Dan Bilzerian, famous for his Playboy-esque parties in the sky.

We did some checking, and the the tail number matches the one registered to Bilzerian's company, Goat Airways LLC. A charter company made a deal with Hillary's campaign org. to lease the plane.

Check it out ... the dirty bird appears in episode 11 of Showtime's "The Circus" with political strategist Mark McKinnon grumbling the press doesn't ride on the same plane as Hillary.

Now we know why.

Robert Patrick knows the dangers of the road, which is why he took his brand new Harley-Davidson to church to get it blessed.

Patrick -- best known as T-1000 from 'Terminator 2' -- took his hog to St. Thomas, the Apostle church in Hollywood, and got it blessed courtesy of Father Ian Elliott Davies. It's the second bike Patrick's made holy.

As for how it's done ... some words by the good Father, with a sprinkle of holy water before Sunday mass.

Patrick's endgame ... protecting him from harm as he tools down the highway.

Rob Kardashian's mission to bail out Blac Chyna cost him dearly -- TWO huge speeding tickets, one of which could cost him his license ... that is, if he had one.

Rob told us on Monday he'd lost his driver's license, and hinted it had something to do with outstanding tickets. That's not exactly what happened. We've learned Rob's license expired on his birthday, March 17.

His bigger problem is speeding. You'll recall, when BC got arrested in Texas ... Rob hopped in his Bentley and blazed across the desert to rescue her. According to law enforcement sources, New Mexico cops nailed him on Jan. 30 when he was headed east.

Then on Jan. 31 -- on his way home with Chyna -- CHiPs clocked Rob doing 107 mph in a 70 through Blythe, CA.

Rob's attorney was actually in court Tuesday, and entered a not guilty plea for that ticket. The expired license is just a trip to the DMV, but getting out of the 107 is gonna be tougher.

Women drivers will never be taken seriously in Formula One ... so says the man who RUNS the organization, Bernie Ecclestone.

Ecclestone -- the most powerful person in all of racing -- was speaking at an Advertising Week Europe conference in London when someone asked about women drivers.

"I don’t know whether a woman would physically be able to drive an F1 car quickly, and they wouldn’t be taken seriously,” he said Tuesday according to The Daily Beast.

He did however say when it comes to running businesses, "Women are more competent, and they don’t have massive egos."

French IndyCar racing champion Simon Pagenaud has had enough ... enough of people confusing him for Sacha Baron Cohen's wacky french driving character from 'Talladega Nights.'

We got Simon at the Grand Prix of Long Beach -- shorty before he won the damn thing -- and asked about his uncanny resemblance to Jean Girard ... Ricky Bobby's Franco-Foe in 'Talladega Nights.'

The resemblance is pretty uncanny ... and SP says he gets heckled and taunted for it all the time ... but tells our camera girl he's ready for it to stop ... FOREVER.

Good luck, dude ... might have to learn to live with this one.

They're race car ROYALTY -- Indy driver Graham Rahal and Funny Car star Courtney Force -- but when it comes to having kids ... the newly married couple says they're pumping the brakes ... HARD.

Graham and Courtney both come from legendary racing stock -- Courtney's family even had their own reality show on A&E ("Driving Force"). So, after they tied the knot last year, people started the same damn question every newly married couple gets ... WHEN ARE YA GONNA HAVE KIDS!?

Floyd Mayweather musta been feelin' saucy last week ... 'cause the boxer bought his girlfriend a $550,000 Rolls Royce "just because he felt like it" ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We spoke with Floyd's car guy Obi Okeke from DoctorBugatti.com who tells us Floyd hit him up last Thursday and ordered up a white 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe as a gift for his lady Bad Medina.

Okeke says the ride was delivered to Bad Medina on Saturday -- and obviously, she loves it.

"This is the 4th car Floyd has bought for her in less than two years from me. She has 3 Rolls-Royce Ghosts and now the 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom drop."

Enjoy ...

Just days after Will Smith was shot and killed in an apparent road rage incident ... another NFL star says he was a passenger in a similar situation where things got thiiiis close to getting violent.

Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall just tweeted about the situation ... saying, "My uber driver a G, Somebody cut him off and almost hit him. And he pulled up to the side of him and got out the car and told him to get out."

What's especially scary is the fact Marshall says his driver got OUT of the car to confront the other guy ... it's almost exactly what appears to have happened in New Orleans.

This time, it appears the situation was diffused before things got violent ... thankfully.

Stay safe out there people.
