Remote Control Hummer For Snobby Rich Kids Who Thought They Had It All
From the inflatable to the perverted, we’ve seen it all when it comes to R/C powered toys. But what about for that one rich snobby bastard kid in every city who seems to have it all? The Remote Controlled Hummer is probably not something that little brat got under their Christmas tree last year. Yes, it is a full sized hummer. Fully capable of mowing down a small crowd of elderly couples and nuns, or even encasing a full night... Continue reading
Car Bombing Turns Artsy
While we were never under the assumption that car bombing could be demonstrated cinematically as an art form, we have been proven wrong. The “I Want To Believe” exhibition from artist Cai Guo-Qiang at the Guggenheim Museum in New York displays 9 suspended cars, sequencing the movements of a car bombing. Enhanced with a spectacle of lit strands and a great sense of complex balance, “I Want To Believe” is all the proof we need to show that even horrific... Continue reading
Who You Gonna Call? The Suburu Outback Ecto-1
Ghostbusters might not be the typical American classic film (especially since the stars of the movie are predominantly Canadian), but certain elements of the picture have built up cult status in the geek community. The Ecto-1 Ghostbusters-mobile is one the props that sticks out in my mind when I think of the movie. A member from the NASIOC forums (North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club) has posted images of his transformed Suburu Outback, which he has custom honed to resemble... Continue reading
Nissan Makes The Young Feel Old With Special Suit
When car companies do crash tests to test safety, they use test dummies. But what about testing automobiles for senior citizens? Nissan engineers have created a special suit which helps simulate movements of the elderly, which would help the company better optimize their cars for geezers. The complete suit uses several techniques to create worsened vision and decreased physical movement. Luckily, the suit won’t make your bladder the size of a pea, or give you urges to attend bingo night.... Continue reading
Riding On Quarter Shaped Dubs
Shown on display at SEMA 2007, these spinning rims are designed to look like you’re riding on a set of quarters. Behind the spinning blades is the image of George Washington as portrayed on the U.S. coin. Not only are they unique in design, but these rims are absolutely gigantic. The rims pictured are a massive 30 inches. Wouldn’t have 25-inch rims been more appropriate with the quarter design? We’d still love to see some rims like these LED Bike... Continue reading
This Fire Truck Can Really Haul Ass
Actually, it’s not so much a ‘fire truck” as it is a “fire Porsche Cayenne S”—and it was spotted on the streets of Moscow. I suppose it could be used as a quick response vehicle, but my guess is that the FD picked it up so they would look cooler than the cops. More pictures after the jump.
Talk to the wheels with the REAL Porsche cellphone
After seeing the cigarette phone and the detachable retro phone, this Porsche cellphone could be even more sensational. First off it’s shaped like a Porsche (kind of), flip it over and it’s a cellphone! There’s a Porsche logo up there and we have no idea if the random Chinese company had any sense of copyrights in mind, but who cares? Porsche won’t make phones anyway. Look closely at the windshield and you’ll find the camera. Specs were literally unknown, so... Continue reading
Laugh of The Day: Lingerie for your car
This car really shakes what its momma gave it. Wait a second…cars don’t even have mommas! But what they do have is big rears. A big rear, a pink thong, and a car. What else could a man want?
TV screen for those who want to crash their cars
This is perhaps one of the most dangerous designs we have seen for a while: TV screens on the sun visor at the driver’s seat. It is only meant to be used when you are not driving, or it’s for the person sitting next to the driver. Depending on what’s playing there, it can be very tempting to glance at the screen. After banning phone use when driving, TV watching might be the next on the list. These screens measure... Continue reading
Annoying passengers? Visor solves that problem.
Forget cellphones, all the screens going into cars nowadays are causing all of the crashes. It’s not that the driver of the car is driving wrecklessly, it’s the driver of the car behind the car with the movie playing. Really people, watching movies while driving is not safe! Now we have the Visor. It is a flip-down visor has a TV/DVD player with an FM transmitter in order to keep your passengers entertained and out of your hair. So however... Continue reading
