Philly’s Mural Arts Program partnered up with The Design Center of Philadelphia University to transform 10 city garbage trucks into pieces of movable art. Sadly, the murals do nothing to disguise the trucks awful fucking smell. Just think about this… millions of week old cheese steaks rotting in the sun. But hey, it’s something pretty to look at as you ...

Ten years ago, this little bugger known as the 021c concept from Ford was unveiled. Universally despised, the car never made it to production due to the wild, radical design of Marc Newson, a furniture designer who had never worked on a car in his life. Sure, back in 1999, consumers weren’t ready for shit like this. But in today’s ...

Your child is the product of two wonderful parents, so why not buy him or her the best toys available? For a paltry $104, you too can have your kid driving around in a toy BMW that has real rubber tires. No fake, plastic Power Wheels bullshit here, folks. This is the real deal, straight outta Munich. Just make sure ...

When most people see a Mercedes and think of performance tuning, the letters “AMG” come to mind. Understandable, but what most people tend to overlook is a little company based in Germany called BRABUS. You want your car tuned to the max? You go and visit BRABUS. Take, for instance, the 2009 Mercedes E-Class Coupe. BRABUS will turn the standard ...

The word “Testarossa” has a certain ring to it that makes any man worthy of the title smile. Long a favorite Ferrari model by collectors, this 1957 Ferrari 250 Testarossa is the pinnacle of luxury. It recently sold for $12.2 million at an auction in Italy. There’s only 22 of them in existence and fashion mogul Ralph Lauren owns two ...

The concept was pretty simple. Take a bike and turn it into a drum kit. It sounds simple enough. But who would actually think of doing such a thing? David Osborne’s traveling drum kit takes about 20 minutes to transform from a bicycle into a… drum kit bicycle. The kit contains 5 cymbals, 3 snare drums and a foot pedal. ...

When I first saw the these renderings of the Kvant Motorbike, sort of a cross between a snowmobile and a motorcycle, my first thought was “Wow, those really would have been a convenient way for the Rebels to get around Hoth. The tauntauns just didn’t seem to be cutting it.” Wouldn’t most people be dreaming about owning one of these ...

Oh, wait. Yeah, sorry. It’s a skateboard deck with a boombox painted on the bottom. Boy do I feel like a dumbass. At $60, it was hard to tell since both are priced accordingly. Link [via]

Now here’s a concept we can really get behind. A folding skateboard concept designed by Jin-Seok Hwang. Dangerous? Probably, but c’mon, it’s skateboarding. This would make it much easier to bring a skateboard with you on a bike ride and would allow you to chuck it in a backpack and roll out. Though it’d really suck for this thing to ...

Twitter is causing a hubbub across the globe as the next step in communication and social interaction. Your Twitter URL is now considered to be as sacred as YourName.com. For many, this is totally justifiable. Creating and promoting your online “personal brand” on Twitter is quickly becoming the modus operandi of the modern business man. Can you really and truly ...
