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]

Back in 1980, cocaine was up and coming and Europeans had plenty of it. As they did their daily bumps, shoving the cursed powder into their bodies, an idea sparked in the mind of one Trevor Fiore. He’s the designer behind the car you see here. It’s called the Citro n Karin and it’s probably the ugliest automobile you will ...

Gillette has finally realized they have been missing a key demographic with their marketing. Zamboni enthusiasts! The totally souped-up Zamboni features a snazzy ad campaign for the Gillette Fusion Power razor. Now I know what your momma shaves her ass with. I kid. But no really, your mother is huge and hairy.

Jesus Christ, Porsche. Tom Cruise would have never done Risky Business had he known one day you’d be coming out with a four-door sport sedan. The Panamera is just that but don’t let the extra set of doors fool you. Starting at $89,000 the Panamera is aimed to be the premiere luxury car of 2010. Wondering how fast it goes? ...

Legs just aren’t what they used to be. Human limbs used to be the driving force behind America’s booming industry, once ushering in a new age of wealth.
