Once your car has a mustache it’ll never want to return to its hairless ways. Just look what happened to Alex Trebek once he ditched his mustache. Rumor has it that he was mauled by zebras and his current replacement is a scientifically-created genetic clone. Luckily the government knows better now then to leave our nations game show hosts unduplicated. ...

And here I was, thinking that the city council just hired a bunch of midgets with rock hammers to dig out subway system. But nope, as it turns out the New York City Transit system uses a massive contraption called a Tunnel Boring Machine, or a TBM, which literally bores tunnel-sized holes through the�subterranean�catacombs of the city. According to NYC ...

Sure, you could argue that you might as well just use a traditional bicycle or maybe even walk for a change, but some people require variety in their life. The Treadmill Bicycle takes the treadmill out from the confines of your home and allows you to power walk your way through nature, without all of that troublesome pedaling. Sort of ...

Coffee breath. The downfall of the modern man. And possibly the modern vehicle. The Carpuccino is a 1988 VW Scirocco which has been modified to run off of coffee. Apparently this bad boy will run three miles per kilogram of ground coffee, making it oddly similar to the run time of an average human being. That’s about 56 espressos a ...

Don’t worry ladies. This gator wasn’t killed for the sake of fashion. This gator was slaughtered in the name of wildlife preservation, and then was magically chosen to appear as the star character of the GatorBike. The custom-made bike, crafted from the skin and skull of a real alligator that was culled by authorities to keep their numbers down, has ...

Whoever thought attaching a DeLorean to a set of monster truck wheels was a good idea deserves some sort of medal. Mystified and thrilled were my emotions when I first set eyes on this beautifully absurd creation. Does the addition of the heavy wheels mean we’re going to need more than 1.21 gigawatts? Great scott. Link [via]

As far as truck accessories go, I’d much rather have something useful, such as the Hitch Safe, rather than a pair of saggy balls hanging from the back of my bumper. The ingenious Hitch Safe slides out after its two security bolts are unhinged to reveal a little cubby for anything you might want to hide in the rear end ...

The lightweight Mosquito Helicopter concept by Cikaric Dragan, specifically designed for the Army to commute through difficult terrains, would have been perfect for the marauding caveman. No more multiple mile-long treks just for some fine tiger steak. You can even land this sucker right in the comfort of your own cave. A series of levers and a computer control the ...

While I’ll probably never be able to afford a real Lamborghini on my meager blogger’s salary, if I save up every paycheck, and every other Lambo fanatic somehow goes completely broke over the next few decades or so, than I might be able to save up enough for Benedict Radcliffe’s $65,000 Wireframe Lambo. All I want is bragging rights. Is ...

This gutted UNICAT TerraCross all-terrain vehicle has been modified into a pretty slick living environment. An apartment on wheels. Sort of like an RV with attitude. While I’m not one for living on the road, I’m sure many of you who love to travel would all-but sell your soul for a mobile apartment like this. I’ll stick to my non-wheeled ...
