It’d be super nice if we could all afford a $277,000 Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M, but alas, the world is completely unfair. It’s unfair because despite Ferrari offering up a limited run of 499 of these Spiders, its new iPod Touch dock will cost extra.

The 16GB Touch will feature custom Ferrari sounds and themes, as it’s the usual practice of a luxury auto manufacturer to include cheesy gimmicks on a phone or DAP when purchasing a car. If you can actually afford one of these slick new Ferraris, be sure to let us know how that dock is working out. You know, the one you paid extra for.

I don’t care how much heat is wasted through the exhaust pipe, I refuse to eat a burger which is cooked using the heat and fumes from my automobiles excrements. The ExhaustBurger was shown off at the Dining In 2015 exhibit.

My love for meat holds almost no limits. I would use a burger as my phone. I might even consider eating a burger cooked on a tetanus-covered hot rock. But never would I eat something called an ExhaustBurger. — Andrew Dobrow

The only people that will probably be passengers for the new 787 business jet are the same people that can afford BMW’s automobiles. Meaning, not me. Most likely not you either. But honestly, I envy those guys. They get to travel around and see the world, all in the luxury of BMW beauty.

The BMW 787 will contain white leather lounge chairs with accent burgundy pillows, a full bar, artwork, luxury bedroom accommodations, and glass panels built into the ground so that passengers can watch their actual BMW cars in the lower garage. Sounds like a hell of a flight. (more…)

If you’re reading this, odds are that you weren’t alive to see how early of a jump people got on creating environmentally friendly cars. The pictured article was published in the April 1924 issue of Popular Mechanics. While the motive behind the article was most likely for sales reasons and a certain “cool” factor and not for the post-discovered global warming, the idea of electrical automobiles being thought of in the 1920’s shows a growing concern for the future of oil and fuel.

We’re glad we don’t live in the time where the electric car could only bring you 5 miles before it needed a recharge. With how heavy the thing must of been using all of the metal that they suggest, it’s a surprise the thing could move at all under its own weight.

Catch the jump for another pic.
