The SAE World Congress always brings out the crazy, this years event of course isnt an exception…
The balloon is attached to a tube which is attached to the cart… & can do 0-100 in 3.9 seconds (sorry, just livening up this post…)
Okay, so the car actually has purpose… it was built for the Jet Toy Olympics happening on April 22nd which features 500 elementary students racing balloon cars… I played in the mud when I was in elementary school…

RS Academy promises you’ll never have to hang out with poor people again…
Category: Uncategorized
Following The Monticello Motor Club & Race Resort Ascari as high-class, ultra-luxury, private racetrack clubs, the RS Academy opens up its doors in the UK. But it isnt exactly like those… instead of having their own private track, they operate on 3: The Nurburgring, Spa Francorchamps, & the aforementioned Ascari Resort. The featured cars available for use span from Renault Meganes to Lamborghini Gallardos & in time will add more new rides as the club grows. Membership includes insurance, an instructional, accumulating points that allow you to use the cars & a t-shirt that says “I have more money than God, get out of my fucking way”.
So what makes RS Academy different from any other high-dollar (oops, euro) track clubs? For one thing the venue changes. Its also the only conglomerant of its kind that is self-owned & allows shared membership… sounds good, one thing though… the company hasnt released any intel on membership costs… but I guess its true what they say about not being able to afford it if you had to ask…

Bernd last-name-noone-can-fucking-pronounce touted as next Opel CEO
Category: Uncategorized
In other Opel news… Not only is GM asking potential Opel buyers to please stand up (yes I just made an Eminem reference, let it go), theyre also looking for a new CEO for the future independent company. So who are they mulling for? Bernd last-name-noone-can-fucking-pronounce. Bernd last-name-noone-can-fucking-pronounce was the former chief at BMW & Volkswagen & was considered primarily for his work for the other 2 German carmakers. But wait a second… didnt this dude also purchase Rover while at BMW? Hmm…
So whats in store for Bernd LNNCFP? How about a swift kick in the pants…

LUMMA Design attaches a sticker on a bicycle, hikes up price in the process
Category: Uncategorized
LUMMA Design usually spends their time in a very clean shop in Germany tuning BMW M5s & Porsche Cayennes, in the corner though is something different… a fucking bicycle. The $4300 LUMMA Design Mountain Bike was co-developed by BMX world champion Jordi Miranda (I dont know who that is but I figured he deserved the name drop) & features an all-aluminum frame & Shimano components. Only 50 examples of these overpriced machines will be available in the market
But dude… $4300… thats one expensive sticker…
What are those things behind the models? Cars?… Cant tell… Enjoy the first of 2 galleries
Oh yeah, try not to make a mess

Save the planet and look like the biggest nerd on your block using one of these!
Category: Uncategorized
And with a name like Xcalibur Eco-Eagle, you might win that nerd trophy first before you save any planet…
The Xcaliber (or Eco-Eagle if you prefer) is powered by a 990cc engine running on CNG (compressed natural gas) thats both cheaper & cleaner. If cheap & clean doesnt do it for you, how about fast & easy? The Xcaliber (or Eco-Eagle if you prefer) can mow 9.2 acres per hour (sexy!). Want one? Got an extra $11,500 lying around? No? Okay then…
