Safety features have come along way since 1959 and to prove their point Chevy puts an ’09 Malibu against a ’59 Bel Air. Who did you expect to win?
Man I love crashes. I guess that’s part of being a man though.

Buckle Up!

Saw this on The Hollywood Reporter. It is not Freakn’ Sweet in the traditional sense, however it is a PSA that does not ram the message down your throat. Rumor has it that it first started circulating last week. It is also disheartening to see what we can only assume is candy being wasted. This one may be sappy enough to get me fired.

2012 Ford Focus is kinda hot
by cwhitmore | Posted January 25th, 2010 at 4:03 am
I know… I can’t believe I said that either. I was never a fan of the Ford Focus but I definitely did a double take when I saw the 2012 Ford Focus ($TBA; Early 2011) . This re-imagined descendant of Escort will boast an electric power assist system, Dynamic Cornering Control, the Sync connectivity package with an 8-inch MyFord touch-based control panel in pricier models, a new 2.0-liter DI Ti-VCT engine, and a dry-clutch six-speed Ford PowerShift automatic transmission.
If you feel the need for a hybrid don’t worry, Ford will also offer a fully battery powered electric version, with a driving range of 80-100 miles.

This is an awesome video that Brent from Blaccessorize.us passed on to us. It’s pretty much what the title says but it really is incredible. It’s crazy to see how much some of those cars and bikes get off the ground in turns.
Let us know what you think

The grandfather that originally owned this Vespa recycled it into an amazing rocking horse for this grandson. The craftsmanship is remarkable!

Mario Kart eat your heart out
by cwhitmore | Posted January 2nd, 2010 at 12:38 pm
Ferrari has just unveiled what must be the ultimate racing simulator rig. The only catch is that you have to be a Ferrari F1 race driver if you want to take it for a spin.
New rules in Formula 1 racing have made on-track testing almost impossible during the season, so the teams are having a hard time getting their drivers familiar with new tracks and changes in the cars. Ferrari’s solution has been to build a racing simulator that would make any gaming fan think they were in heaven.
This thing is insane! It’s controlled by 10 computers with a combined 60GB of RAM and uses 174 horsepower just to move the hydraulic actuators. There are five 3D video screens that provide a 180 degree field of vision, while a 3,500 watt Dolby surround system recreates the sound of the real thing. Total power consumption is a staggering 130,000 watts. The main difference compared to the real experience, is that standing still you won’t need a helmet.
Unfortunately the Ferrari F1 simulator will not be available to the public any time soon so you’ll have to stick with Mario Kart.
