Flying Barstool – Start drink and drive

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Flying Bar Stool

More and more things that should not be tuned get tuned up: golf carts, huge giant motorcycles and what not. Now, this flying barstool was created for people that would actually care not driving while drunk and would want to make DUI legal: ride your barstool half drunk (or full drunk) around the bar and get more and more drinks with every other pass. One piece of advice, though: when you hit your head to the bar, don’t worry, it was just the floor. So stay there and sleep!

Flying Bar Stool

Well, if you have more than $2000 (without shipping) – the price of one flying barstool – you can set up some pretty cool races around. If the pillow fights are no longer your thing, barstool racing might just start being. And, since you even have a 4.5HP Subaru engine and good brakes on the thing, you can try to slide and drift. Just take very good care of the statues around. Or the windows. Or… anything that can brake, for that matter.

Children Bedroom Lights in Car Shapes

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

While this is not necessarily something to put in your Christmas tree, like our engine Christmas tree decorations, they could really add to the fun of the holidays. Since they are not really Christmas themed, you can let them hanging in the children’s rooms as long as you want.

Porsche Nvidia SLI Computer Mod

Porsche Nvidia SLI Computer Mod

Having a great computer seems to not be enough nowadays. As with cars, you have to have it tuned. It is called modding, but it is almost similar: lights, bodykits (cases) and so on. Well, someone thought of combining the two and made the Porsche Nvidia SLI Mod. See more after the jump. (more…)

Huge Motorcycle: Big Toe

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Not really a gadget, but truly, not a motorcycle either: the Big Toe, as it was named, is a huge motorcycle, standing at 7.5 feet high (2.3 meters). And, what is more important, it can be used on public roads.

Huge Motorcycle: Big Toe

Big Toe is powered by a 1975 Vintage Type E Jaguar SOHC 2 valve 60 degree 300HP 5.3L 12cylinder engine. Intake comes from 45mm twin choke Weber carburetors and a custom stainless muffler system handles the exhaust.

Engine Replica Christmas Tree Decorations

This is mad. If I had a wife, she would probably give me a hard time if I decorated the tree with something like this. But I would probably do it anyway :D

Engine Replica Christmas Tree Decorations

Yeah, they look great, they are greatly detailed and they come in many flavours: Chevy, Hemi, Hot Rod. Now, that will be a good looking Christmas tree.

The Remote Controlled Forklift for the Lazy Computer Geek

The Remote Controlled Forklift for the Lazy Computer Geek

Oh, yes, you have to be lazy to want one of these things: a mini remote controlled forklift to bring our beverages closer to the hand. Yes, it is easier and less time consuming to actually go and pick up the drink, but it isn’t nearly as much fun as this method. See the movie below to understand what I am saying (or go and buy it, if you want to):

Porsche Knives

Wednesday, December 12th, 2007

Well, nothing is gonna surprise me anymore. After Renault Formula 1 launching salt and pepper shakers, why not Porsche launching a set of knives? Soon, we will see Ferrari stoves, Chrysler spoons and what not. Anything to nake a cook happy.

Porsche Knives

Well, the Porsche you see on the knives, though, is not really related to the cars manufacturer we all love. The only connection is that the creator of the knives, F.A. Porsche is a noted industrial designer and grandson of the founder of Porsche automobiles. More, these knives are not used in a common kitchen, usually, these are the same knives prominently used in cooking competitions, including the legendary Bocuse d’Or.

Anyway, why not buy some? Who’s to now that they are not the same with the Porsche all want to drive, be it cabrio, coupe or SUV?

The Santa Claus Car Kit

Car or Reindeer - The Santa Claus Car Kit

No matter what you do, kids these days will almost sure not believe you Santa is real. Some of the kids will be even better than you at bringing soda next to their hand on the computer.

What if you show them the car Santa uses to come to bring the gifts? For any modern child, it should be clear that Santa uses a car (and what do you say, it’s identical to the one the kid’s parents have). So, how do you turn your car into Santa’s car? By using the reindeer kit. You have a big red nose and a pair of oversized 16″ jingle-bell plush antlers to attach to your car, as seen in the image above.

You can find them online for only $15.95.

Renault Formula1 Kitchen set: salt and pepper shaker

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Someone at Renault thought of celebrating the return of the prodigal son Fernando Alonso by launching… salt and pepper shakers.

Renault Formula1 salt and pepper shaker

What nobody prepares you for, though (like anybody would prepare you for a salt shaker from Renault) is the price: approx. $2200, or EUR1500. What the… ? Why would anybody pay that much on pepper and salt shakers? OK, I know, they are made from gearbox oil filter housing of the Renault formula one car. I knoooow, but still… Or, is it possible that there is only one set? Or is Renault facing bankruptcy? And this makes it an exclusive offer?

See below where those pieces come from in the car: (more…)

Geeky Bumper Stickers for the Geek in You

Monday, December 10th, 2007

I like my car, as you would expect, and I would not put bumper stickers on it. I payed quite a hefty sum on the paint job to care.

But, on the other hand, this shouldn’t be your choice. I mean, if I had the opportunity of these bumper stickers several years ago, when I paid on the entire car as much as I paid for the paint job on my current car, I would probably have filled the entire car with these stickers. And then wasn’t even fashionably to be a geek :D

So, here are some of the Geek Bumper Stickers you can find around the web: (more…)
