Perhaps you’re sick of seeing rabbits in battery commercials, but Panasonic is trying something new in Japan. This morning the company demonstrated a race car that runs on 192 pieces of their Oxyride AA-sized battery (yes, the ones you use in flashlights and older CD walkmans). And this amazing little car was able to attain a maximum speed of 122km/h ...

The two-wheeled Dirtsurfer is a truly unique product which offers the feeling of snowboarding, surfing, and skateboarding all on an off-road terrain. Using a low center of gravity, maintained by a set of two BMX style bike wheels makes for an excellent use of good balance on rough surfaces. The original concept was to produce the feeling of surfing, yet ...

While we might not be sure if Marty McFly and Doc are still zipping around in their DeLorean (although we’re pretty sure they are in other dimensions), we are being told that the original DeLorean could once again be available for a very limited number of drivers. DeLorean Vice President James Espey is said to have a surplus of 200 ...

The Fiat 500 series of automobiles, more specifically, the first Fiat 500, was one of the most beloved cars Europe had ever had the pleasure to drive. With the release of the newer model of the Fiat 500, many car owners would love to have the feel of the new car, with the look of the old. The Fiat 500 ...

Based on the BMW 625, the BMW Sinister 6 has an Alpine modification featuring 26 inch wheels, 7 monitors, and 4×12 base sound boxes. All around, this car is one mean looking mother shut-yo-mouth. The Sinister looks like an evil cross between the Batmobile and the cover of Emerson, Lake and Palmer’s Brain Salad Surgery album, except more prepared for ...

Hummers are made for armored transportation, not chewing. At least, that’s what we always say. Though, designer Heidi Hesse has the nerve to believe the exact opposite. This life-sized Hummer replica is made entirely of gum balls, excluding the non-edible tires. The artist says that this Hummer is a symbol of pop culture, but also bares the message that handing ...

Some people love the sleek feel of a Mercedez-Benz under their grips. Hell, even female blues singers want a Mercedes (thanks for that Janis Joplin). Though, what would they think about a Mercedes covered in a pen design. The Mercedes Pen is covered from hood to ass with a creative pen design, over 6,000 pens glued to this 1981 Benz. ...

This isn’t the first use of a recycled Boeing that we’ve seen, but it’s almost positively the most effective use of one other than using it as an actual jet. The Cosmic Muffin is actually a rare Boeing 307 stratoliner that has been converted into a luxury yacht with all the fixings. The Muffin can travel at speeds of nearly ...

Alright, so Hummer golf carts we could deal with. Hell, we could even do with the Stretch Mini Cooper limo, though this Tank Limo might take it a step too far. The Tank features a white finish with a green interior, which gives it a miniature golf-like feel. Included is a cocktail bar with a jacuzzi in the works. But ...

Instead of making some small improvements for the coach sections of their planes, American Airlines has chosen to make first-class even more of a pompous title. The new AA 777’s will feature an updated “Next Generation Business Class Product”. While us back in the coach section will still be lounging with the rats and sleeping on sheets of metal. The ...
