Awesome Parallel Parking

Posted on 07 June 2007


This is a 3 mintue video of an Italian woman trying demonstrating some amazing parking skills, ah, or lack thereof. The car clearly is NOT going to fit in the space, but she refused to give up. Perhaps she needs one of those self-parking Lexus’ or a tape measure and driving lessons.

The Ship that Sinks

Posted on 02 May 2007


Check out this video of a container ship that sinks - on purpose. It’s made by Dockwise and is called a ’semi-submersible’. The intent to to allow it to deliver cargo while at sea, which I’m guessing would be another actual ship. The ole’ ship within a ship. If I’m not mistaken they developed a similar ship last century that goes underwater too, it’s called a submarine. But whatever.

BMW Concept Car - The next 8 seriesbmw cs concept

The BWM CS is a concept car that will likely become the new 8-Series. If you follow cool cars you’ll note the look of the Z8 in the front end. This beast is longer, wider and lower than the current 7-Seris BMWs and will likely require a kidney donation to pay for. But who really needs two kidneys when you’ve got a ride like this.

L1X-75 600 Horse Electric Car

Posted on 10 April 2007


Hybrid cars are nice, but if you’re not wowed by cheer gas mileage how about horsepower. 600 horsepower - in an electric. The all carbon-fiber electric looks pretty cool and will do 175 mph. If the guy conducting the interview and test drive would have put down the damn microphone we might of got a glimpse of what it can really do.

V150 French Bullet Train

Posted on 04 April 2007


Yesterday a French bullet train reached 357.2 MPH (or 574 KPH for the metrically inclined), and did it on conventional tracks. The only faster train is a Japanese bullet train, but that works with magnets. The short video of the French train is nothing short of awesome if you love speed. I can’t begin to imagine what the hell happens to a penny on the tracks at that speed. As much as I would love to ride this thing I don’t think I’d have the balls to commute daily at that on those tracks. Something tells me it wouldn’t take much to derail it and even less would be left intact after it happened.

New Audi S5 2-Door

Posted on 08 March 2007


The new two door Audi S5 looks pretty hot. With a big ass V8 hooked to full time four-wheel drive I’m sure it can move. The video of the S5 is cool if you’re into Audis. A few hot supermodels might have helped spice it up a bit, or me driving it. That would be off the hook.

VW Ball Bus

Ball Bus

Artist Billy F. Gibbons created a ball out of a VW bus. Makes me think of a big pill bug. Pretty cool. I can’t imagine it would actually be drivable. Just imagine a giant ball vomit heading down the highway.
