Going for a summer country holiday is always fun in a caravan, more so if it is an Airstream trailer, specifically the Airstream Bambi 422.

The kitchen, bathroom and living spaces are just amazing, equipped with air conditioning, an audio setup, TV and a set of kitchen appliances as...

For some people trikes have always been a “fleeting” escape from super cars and the Air Creation Tanarg seems to be the right option to turn to. It’s a standard trike that could be flown to sky soaring limits, but not off the cliff or a danger traffic zone since it certainly isn’t economical at a price range of $50,000-$85,000. We don’t know if it requires a pilot’s license, but considering the scope of this two seater aircraft, it...

A Grave that includes a Plasma TV, wine, bed and above all, his soul (truly) rests in peace![Speechless] That’s a grave that offers much more than what a dying guy would ask for. With the assets in there, the grave defies all laws of nature and those of the Bible too. No offence, but his/her folks would need to deploy a few guards outside the grave to steer clear of plunders. Seriously, I’ve never had so much fun writing...

Sure, you like neat, sophisticated BMW’s; but as much as you deny that you don’t like anime, we know a part of you loves flaunting it. This is a BMW decked out in anime, manga, animated Hatsune Miko, video game art and cutsey 2D girls and I can’t help drooling over it. Okay, it’s removable (if I wasn’t successful at convincing you), but you have to admit that it’s some real good work done over the car and doubles...
