T-Boz Targeted By Honda We're Taking Your Odyssey
T-Boz might be forced to travel in the passenger side of her best friend's ride ... 'cause Honda is gunning to repossess the singer's car.
TMZ has learned ... Tionne Watkins is being sued by Honda for failing to make payments on her 2005 Honda Odyssey.
In the lawsuit, filed in Georgia, Honda asks the judge for the green light to take the car back. It's unclear how much T-Boz owes in back payments.
It's just the latest in a string of financial woes for the 42-year-old singer -- she filed for bankruptcy back in 2011 ... but failed to complete the required paperwork ... and lost the protection bankruptcy provides.
In other words, there's NOTHING stopping T-Boz's creditors from coming after all of her possessions.
We reached out to T-Boz for comment -- so far, no response.

'Sons of Anarchy' Fight Brewing with REAL Motorcycle Club
It's all over some pretty incendiary comments made by "Sons" creator Kurt Sutter -- aimed at the stars of "The Devils Ride" ... a Discovery Channel reality show about the Laffing Devils motorcycle club in San Diego.
Sutter's tweet read, "Watched Devils Ride. Probably get in trouble for saying this, but I'm pretty sure my SOA actors could kick the sh*t out of this 'real' MC."
Obviously, the Devils weren't happy about the statement.
TMZ spoke with a guy named Sandman -- a very scary member of the club -- who tells us, "I am concerned that Kurt's creative mind is stuck in make-believe land with his recent comment on twitter."
Sandman adds, "Here's a reality check for ya Kurt ... I am sending a personal invitation to your pretty faced Kurt Cobain look-alike star Jax to come down to San Diego and prove your point."
Yes, Sandman just challenged Charlie Hunnam to a fight.
And he ain't done yet ... Sandman continues, "And tell him to wear those shiny white kicks too. I hope he's a size 11, I could use some new shoes."
Sandman even mentioned Sutter's wife -- actress Katey Sagal -- saying, "I am a big 'Married with Children' fan, can you have Peg send me an autographed picture? I would appreciate it."
We called Sutter for comment -- so far, no response.

'Shark Tank' Star Oops, I WRECKED My Ferrari ... at 130 MPH
Robert Herjavec -- one of the deep-pocketed investors on "Shark Tank" -- slammed his ultra-fast $350K Ferrari into a wall at 130 MPH ... and TMZ has the glass-shattering dash cam footage.
It all went down this weekend during the Ferrari Challenge at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA ... where Robert was racing his 2011 Ferrari 458 against other rich guys in really expensive cars.
Herjavec tells TMZ, "I crashed in qualifying -- bad and hard hit."
"I was having an amazing lap very fast, just off the course record, and then just thought I could go a little faster (what race car driver doesn’t?)."
Herjavec -- who's reportedly worth more than $100 MILLION -- lost control and crashed into a wall ... crushing the front of his car like a soda can.
But Herjavec -- who miraculously didn't suffer any serious injuries -- didn't pull out of the race. Instead, he got ANOTHER Ferrari and pressed on.
"After the crash I went out and borrowed a friend’s car (good to have friends that lend you a $ 350K car) and 2 hours later I started in 29th and finished 5th. The next day, in the borrowed car, I got on the podium and finished 3rd ! Still leading in the points for the season."

'Swamp People' Star A Boat Saved My Life in Massive 5-Car Pile-Up
For the millionth time, "Swamp People" star Joe LaFont's life was spared by a boat -- except this time ... it wasn't in gator-infested marshlands ... it was on an Arkansas highway.
As we previously reported, LaFont and his gator-hunting stepson Tommy Chauvin were nearly killed on Monday in a nasty 5-car pile-up near the Arkansas-Louisiana state border -- when a tractor-trailer (below) rammed the truck behind him.
According to LaFont, the truck behind him was towing a boat -- and that's the reason he's still alive.
LaFont tells us, when the tractor-trailer hit the boat, it turned the truck sideways -- and the truck T-boned Joe rather than barreling straight through him.
Joe tells us, "If it wasn't for the boat, I would have been killed ... It was like a bomb went off."
According to Joe, his F-150 and its attached cargo trailer were totaled in the wreck.
Joe didn't suffer any serious injuries -- but he says his neck and shoulders have been bothering him since the crash ... so he's visiting a doctor later today.
Joe says he does not plan to sue.

Guy Fieri Cops FOUND My Stolen $200k Lambo!!
Guy Fieri had a GREAT weekend ... 'cause cops finally recovered the chef's missing yellow Lamborghini ... after it was jacked in a "Mission Impossible" style heist last year.
Guy last saw his 2008 Lambo Gallardo -- worth roughly $200k -- in March 2011 ... when some crook went into the British Motor Car Distributors dealership in S.F. ... rappelled down from the roof ... slithered through a window and sped off with the ride.
Pretty bad ass, right?
But this weekend, the Marin County Sheriff's Dept. made a HUGE break in the case ... when they arrested a 17-year-old boy on a gun charge ... and decided to search a storage unit that belonged to him.
When cops opened up the unit ... they found the Lambo. We're told the 17-year-old is a "person of interest" in the theft ... and the case is still under investigation.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the car is currently being held by the Sheriff's Dept. because it is considered evidence in the case ... but a judge could release the vehicle back to Guy in the near future.
TMZ spoke with Fieri ... who told us, "I would like to thank the Marin County Sheriff's office and the Mill Valley Police Department for their hard work and effort in the recovery of my car."
He added, "I'm glad we can put this behind us, and feel better knowing that justice is being served."

Patrick Dempsey's Heroic Rescue CAR CRASH CARNAGE
"Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey's rescue mission in Malibu this week was even more badass than we thought -- just take a look at the scene of the accident!!!
TMZ broke the story ... a teenage driver crashed and flipped his Mustang on the road right outside Dempsey's Malibu home -- and the actor came to the rescue, crowbar in hand to pry the doors open.
Dempsey successfully pulled the driver from the wreckage -- a 17-year-old named Weston Massett -- who tells TMZ, when he opened his eyes, the actor was looking right down at him.
Massett asked, "Are you famous?" ... and Patrick coolly replied, "I'm a doctor."
We're told Patrick called Massett's mother and told her about the accident -- keeping her calm the entire time. Massett was then airlifted to a nearby hospital, and Patrick followed to make sure the kid was okay.
Miraculously, Massett suffered no serious injuries -- just a concussion and a "stretched" optic nerve. He's expected to make a full recovery.
There was also a passenger in the car, Dylan Miller, but thankfully we're told Miller suffered no injuries whatsoever.
Wear your seat belts, kids.

Fortunately for Kim's driver ... the cop was in a good mood and sent him along his way with a warning ... and he eventually got to Kim's place with no further issues. Hooray.

Sean Kingston Saves Maserati with Last Minute Payment
Sean Kingston nearly had his Maserati repossessed for failing to make payments -- but after the leasing company filed a lawsuit, Kingston came through with the cash.
According to court docs filed in Florida, Kingston and his sister signed a lease in 2008 on a 2006 Maserati Quattroporte. The leasing company claims Kingston and his sister fell behind on their payments and stopped paying altogether last November.
The company claimed Kingston and his sister defaulted on the lease and owed $3,503 in back payments, plus the balance of the lease ... an additional $29,323.00.
According to the lawsuit, Kingston and his sister held onto the car despite requests to turn it over, saying the pair "concealed" it at their home in Sunrise, FL.
But the lawsuit got Kingston's attention and he made good on the payments. The leasing company dropped their lawsuit yesterday.
