Yesterday, the LEGO World event began. To promote the event Leon Krijgsman of Jetix (more X-Men, please) rolled through the streets of Amsterdam in this LEGO Ferrari F1. This automobile is made up of 80,000 LEGO bricks and that’s not counting the LEGO pit crew who maintain it.

The event will be held in Zwolle until the 21st and will demonstrate some of the most innovative projects regarding LEGOs. Perhaps we’ll see more LEGO automobiles or maybe even another tower of LEGOs. So long as no K’NEX projects make an appearence, I’ll be happy.

Futuristic aerodynamic cars seem to be all the rage among automakers these days and the craze has made it’s way to Formula One racing where so-called “shark fin” cars are popping up left and right. Last week, Ferrari became the latest F1 racing team to try out the distinctive finned engine cover at a race in Jerez, Spain. Red Bull was the first F1 team to try out the design in February. Since then, Toyota, Renault, Toro Rosso, McLaren, and Force India have all jumped on the shark fin bandwagon. The design is thought to be more aerodynamic, but race teams are still wary that it might be vulnerable to crosswinds. After the jump, check out more shark fin racecar porn pics.

If you own a Ferrari, there’s a good chance you already converse with it anyway. “Yeah, that’s a bad little car!” You make me sick, with your shameless flirtation. You might as well just skip the foreplay and just pick up one of these F1 Phones.

The F1 Phone, designed to resemble the Ferrari, even has some moderately impressive specs for a novelty cellphone. Offering dual-band support (900/1800 MHz), a 2.2-inch touch-sensitive LCD display with 260k colors, a music player with equalizer, a video player, a camera for maximum picture size of 1280 x 1024 pixels and even a video recorder, along with an assortment of other goodies. You can get yours for around $190. (more…)

If you don’t have a robot mowing your lawn for you, chances are you don’t have too much fun doing it (unless your my old Asian neighbor, he worships his shitty lawn, on which I do not purposely let my dog do his business.) At least you can look good while doing it.

This F1-themed lawn mower is the sexiest damn lawn mower we’ve ever seen. And we’re not ones to refer to lawn care products as sexy. You might be one of those people who likes those 3-in-1 jobbies, but can you honestly say you don’t want to mow your lawn with this thing? Hell, I’ll fire my landscaper so I can do it myself with this monster. — Andrew Dobrow
