Stretch Mini Cooper Limo is ridiculous with a built-in swimming pool

min_cooper_limo1_12.jpg

I don’t think anyone (except maybe the designer of this car) has ever said to themselves “Ya know, I would really love a Strech Mini Cooper Limo with a built-in swimming pool”. But then again, people have said crazier. The Mini Cooper S Limo was designed by a specialist coach builder in Los Angeles (where else?) and is being nicknamed the Mini XXL for obvious reasons.

In addition to containing a built-in swimming pool, the 6-meter long XXL features a retractable flat screen TV, a DVD Player, CD and radio, air conditioning, first class leather and a telephone to talk to the driver from the rear. There’s no mention of the XXL containing an engine, but we’re guessing that’s included too. Why go on vacation when you have a Mini Cooper?

Hot Pod Floating Spa makes the rich more comfortable and us more envious

Filed under: Household, Misc. Gadgets

hot pod floating spa

Those rich guys just never have enough, do they? As if having an olympic sized swimming pool and lagoon style spa wasn’t enough. The Hot Pod Floating Spa helps the wealthy not have to strain their legs by walking ten feet to their in ground hot tub, by bringing the spa to the pool.

They can now enjoy both the cool, refreshing feeling of pool water, with the relaxing hydro therapy of spa luxury. The Hot Pod Spa works by taking water from your pool heater and pumping it through specially hydro-engineered jets, while the rest of the pool around you stays completely cool and serene.

Composed of heavy duty nylon, the Hot Pod is supposed to be made to last a while. But we know how those damn rich guys make their money. Our nylon tubes use to pop all the time when we were kids, so we don’t see the difference with one of these. Especially when your shelling out $800 for this floating spa.

Over-exuberant? Definitely. Worth the money? Probably not. Unique and top of the line? Seems like it. Should you get one? Not unless your neighbors with Bill Gates. Or Bill Gates himself of course. Oh, and Bill if you’re reading this, get some better developers. — Andrew Dobrow

Floating iPod Sound System waterproofs your music - CES 2007

ego case

Summer might seem far away now, with temperatures well below the comfortable level, but these frigid months will pass quicker then you think. When the temperatures pull a 180 and become uncomfortably hot, you might want to just lie around the pool all day and soak. And if you don’t have a pool, at least in an iced bath tub. But what’s the fun of sitting by the pool if you don’t have your favorite tunes blaring through the speakers. Sure, you could connect your iPod to a stereo, but then every time you want to change the song you have to get off your tube, out of the refreshing water, to turn the song, while burning your feet on the hot concrete surface as a bonus. Atlantic offers a solution.

We don’t know if we would trust our iPod in a “waterproof” device unless that thing was guaranteed to be tighter then security at the Rose Bowl. Though the idea is a good one! The Atlantic Ego Waterproof Sound Case can be used in the shower, as well as swimming pools, Vietnam, baptisms, and rain forest. Pretty much anywhere that there is a substantial amount of moisture that would once be a deterrent in lugging around your iPod, is now able to be safely navigated and funkified with the sound of your favorite tunes. The Case is available now for a suggested retail price of $200 or 40000000000 bottle caps. — Andrew Dobrow
