Wee-Man Takes a Ride in '62 Chevy Impala, Shares Skater Passion

Wee-Man is known to most people as the little fellow from that show Jackass. However, we get the feeling there's a lot more depth to his personality. He comes across as a genuine guy with passions most of us can relate to.

So what's he up to these days? Mostly hanging out in his badass 1962 Chevy Impala, eating tacos and skating.

This project started for him about six years ago, when he decided to get a classic car. A friend knew about an "old-man hotrod Impala" which he negotiated and bought.

Yeah, this is a promo video from AccuAir Suspension, the guys responsible for the air shocks underneath the Impala. But Wee-Man doesn't come off as fake; he genuinely loves to play around with the level system.

Wee-Man's real name is Jason Acuna. He was born in Pisa, Italy, grew up in California and is of Mexican and German descent. He became associated with the television series Jackass in 2001, being known for skateboarding as an Oompa-Loompa.

Of course, the antics never really stopped for him. He had a MINI Cooper covered in photos of him naked and sometimes appears in Steve-O's Youtube videos.

After the death of his colleague and friend Ryan Dunn, he had his portrait tattooed on the right leg. Exactly five years a few days from now, Dunn and Zachary Hartwell, a production assistant on Jackass Number Two, were killed when the former's Porsche 911 GT3 veered off the road, hit a tree and burst into flames in West Goshen Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Dunn and Wee-Man aren't the only Jackass members with a passion for cars. Bam Margera is famous for the antics he pulls in a blue Lamborghini Murcielago convertible. He also had a Ferrari and a purple Huracan, which he entered in the Gumball 3000. Somehow, Wee-Man is keeping things way more classy.
