Kassou Concept Wishes It Could Fly

Filed under: Design, Transportation

What in the blue fuck is this thing? The strangest looking compact three wheel concept car we’ve ever seen, even stranger than the Cerva MC08. It’s called the Kassou, which means “glide” in Japanese and it’s from designer Britisher Dunderdale. It came in second place at the Car Design News Contest 2008, most likely due to it’s unique flexible rubber neck that is capable of extending the driver seat for improved aerodynamics or increased inside headroom. A side-car could also be attached providing an extra storage for bags and even bikes.

Dunderdale’s design scored the highest for “unique and appealing design” within the professional designer category, but what’s the deal with the wings? It can’t glide or fly, so what’s the point? It wishes it could fly higher than Rick James and that Maverick Solo Jet, but that’s not happening with wings like that.

The Burnout Machine

Filed under: DIYs, Hacks, Transportation

Ever seen a radical car do a crazy burn out in the movies? It seems Steven Laurie was big on watching that kind of stuff. So big that he decided to make his very own Burnout Machine. It looks like a moving dolly mixed with a lawnmower to be quite honest.

The machine works by powering it up and revving the engine. You hold on to one end to keep the thing from flying away and next thing you know, smoke is pouring out everywhere and you’ve gone to the hospital for carbon monoxide treatment.

Super Rub’a'Dub is game adapted from Sony ducky demo

Nostalgia is responsible for many people buying things they really don’t need. While the new game that will be released onto the Playstation Network is probably pretty fun, we can’t help but think that rubber duckies could have been replaced by some other item.

You read right, that demo that everyone saw of the ducks getting poured into a small pool has been adapted into a game. Super Rub’a'Dub is sure to get the geeks giggling with immaturity, but honestly, can this be taken seriously? Well, about as seriously as Super Monkey Ball (you be the judge of what that means.) –Nik Gomez
