We all get bored at work, at the office… So why not challenge our co-workers to a race?
The biggest problem? Productivity in the office will fall to be almost inexistant. Look at the video below and think about it: how many races until you get bored? At least 1-2 days of racing, ain’t it? Well, it’s worth it :D
You can buy these cars at ThinkGeek for only $14.99
Normally tiny R/C cars are hard to drive and control like crap. They zip off your desk and land in the trash the minute you hit the gas. Not these precision ChoroQ Qsteer Mini R/C Racers imported from japan. Amazingly we were able to zoom these mini cars all over our desk with nary a fender bender. Hit the turbo button on the top of the remote for even more speed. Choose from cute versions of the Nissan 350Z or the Mazda RX-8. Independent channels mean you can pit these mini sports cars against each other in a desktop duel to your stapler.

Your husband/wife is following you? The Government is secretly tracking your visits to the neighborhood store? The aliens are testing your behavior to unleash the attack against Earth?
SAY NO MORE! we have found the perfect device for you: the Anti GPS Tracker.
All you have to do is take this little gadget, plug it in your car’s cigarette lighter and there it is. No bad secret agency will ever be able to follow you around. Not even when you are going to buy some more tin-foil for your hat. Neat, huh?
Some technical details of the advanced weapon: none. You just plug it in.
One tiny observation, though: Mobile GPS signal jammers may not be permissible to import into certain countries due to licensing of broadcasts or other restrictions. Please check your country’s customs / telecommunications regulations before placing your order (our note: if your country allows it, check your galaxy’s regulations. Captain Picard might have a hard time “beaming you up”).
You can find this device here.
How many times were you stuck in traffic and wanted something warm to eat? Oh, never? OK, non-drivers please go away, I am talking to those that actually drive around…
So, here is the best invention ever: the in-car sandwich maker. All you need is some salad, some meat (or not, if you are vegetarian) and some bread. And that’s it. Turn on the sandwich maker, watch out not to burn yourself (or hit the car in front) and have a nice meal.
P.S.: I was kidding. This is one of the stupidest car gadgets ever. EVER. And if you still want to buy it, you can find it here. Image was taken from here.
OK, not really James Bond like, but almost similar. You can now flip the license plate of your car or bike and show a message to the guys behind you. Of course, it has to be a short and insightful message like “make love, not war”, “love thy neighbor”, “flower power”. No, not that kind of short messages! And no, you cannot ask that person to bring you beer!
Of course, it sounds funny and all, but you have to take into consideration that it might be sort of illegal. The guys that created the gadget say it should only be used off road, because it has the potential to damage your car if you use it on road. Yeah, sure! What else? You can, though, consider the led license plate frame:
Of course, you shouldn’t use it because of the cops. It might be fun to pass the speed traps with the license plate flipped, but think that you might fool a camera, but not a police officer. Sorry, what? Ah, yes, you just shouldn’t use it. Though it might be fun… Wouldn’t it? Oh, and it happened in New Zealand: a guy got chased and caught for using such a system. So it happens: you really get caught.
This is the latest action movie starring California’s Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. OK, it’s not, but it could be…
Don’t you hate when you go to your car, touch your car’s door and you get jolts of electricity through your fingers? Well, no more. The guys at ThinkGeek.comjust thought of a device to help with that “blessing”: the Static Electricity Eliminator. It helps getting rid of all the static electricity in the things around you (static electricity can even wreck some of you electrical equipment, devices or gadgets, so be careful). You can attach this device to your key and just use it whenever you need.
If you think you are “charged,” simply hold the SEE and touch the rubber tip to a grounded object (a metal desk leg, your car door, a metal peg leg, etc). You will see a little face flash on the SEE’s screen, and you’ll know you are static free. It’s that simple. And with no batteries to worry about (because you are providing the electricity), you’ll be able to use your SEE for years to come.
I don’t have my own kids yet, but I am the proud uncle of a 6 months old niece. And I don’t yet have a super car like the Aston Martin DBS, but I intend to buy one pretty soon (20 to 30 years soon).
So, what is the best investment I can do to assure that my niece has the smoothest ride possible? Of course, one of these Recaro seat for kids. No kid has ever puked in a more stylish seat than one of these seats.
I mean, the one in this picture is quite interesting: it’s in desert colors (so the kid will have no problem blending in while visiting Dubai, let’s assume), you can take it on the plane (nothing like the excitement of a Recaro seat while meeting some turbulences) and more, it’s adjustable with age, height and, of course, more important, weight.
All fun aside, I think I would buy one of those chairs for my kid. Really. Or one of these BMW Suaber Formula 1 Childseats
When I first saw this gadget (the Parrot SK4000) I thought: “Now, this is expected for a long time: a hands free for bikers. Good news!”
Then, it got me thinking: is it really a good thing? I mean, bikers already have to pay more attention to the road then drivers do, since an accident on 20mph will just scratch a car. So, is it good to be able to speak on the phone while riding a bike? Apparently, the guys at Parrot thought that it is quite ok.
Some details about the gadget: it will be compatible with all bluetooth devices, it will have voice recognition, a radio and mobile remote control.
If you’re a Ford Mustang owner, this new fragrance will perfectly complete your ‘Mustang’ profile and if you’re not, well, at least it will give you a little taste (or should I say a little smell) of the Mustang.
Fragrance experts have captured the essence Mustang has emobided for decades. It’s the classic reinvention of a free spirit that runs on adventure.
Rich tones of cedarwood and pipe tobacco make this new scent as bold, daring and legendary as the man who wears it.
Available in 3.4 oz 1.7 oz 1.0 cologne spray and 3.4 oz aftershave.
You can check out more details, get some wallpapers, send eCards and more on their website (click here).
No, that’s not a typo, Kicker announced the WX10000.1, an amplifier which will definitely wake the whole neighborhood (and at that power you’ll not only wake your neighbors but blow their windows, too) but hey, somebody’s gotta do it. However, this amp is not for everyone, because, first of all, you need eight 12-volt batteries and two 200-amp alternators on your car and second because you’ll need to come up with some serious cash for the sound system, because this baby costs $10,000.

While others think of golf carts only as a way for getting from hole 1 to hole 2, the guys over at Berlinecart don’t seem to agree with that and tries to tell that golf can be more fun, so they came up with these custom golf carts, which include the Cadillac Escalade, the Smoothster and the Berline LS. They look good, right? Well, you haven’t seen the best part.
These cart feature Alpine AM/FM/CD stereo (speakers and removable face plate included), custom hard top and frame in matching color, chrome tilt steering wheel column, 15 inch custom rims, golf bag holder, Billet Grille (only for the Escalade models), fog lights and yes, an iPod adapter. Other features include 48 volt electric club car chassis, fiberglass body, upholstered seats, drink holders, storage boxes and the list could go on.
Now you may wonder how much this costs. Well, the prices range, with the most expensive one being the Escalade ESV (which has 6 seats) and is priced at $16,995, while the Smoothster, for example, is priced at $15,995. View more photos after the jump.
