Rise of the robots

Modular robot reassembles when it’s kicked apart: everywhere on the internet today. Skynet rises. Seriously though, how long until these modules are itsy-bitsy? See also the NeoCube.

New BMW M1: sexxxxxxy. The body looks like two layers, as if the black underneath is cracking through, trying to escape. And check the I Ching rims! In other […]

Chaos

I went to get a sandwich and came upon this car which had exploded and been abandoned in the parking lot. Awesome.

What can go wrong with a 1992-5 W140 Mercedes

Ford F-150 vs. Mini Cooper. Yeah. Read the New Yorker article too.

I love cars, and I’m LOVING the Chrysler ME412.

You know who you are: AutoWeek review of the topless 350Z.

Paging Jay-Z

The long-awaited Rolls-Royce Phantom review and, bonus, RR vs Maybach vs Bentley. I love the design. AutoWeek sez: “It makes a strong statement of wealth, power, empire, exploitation… people will interpret it differently depending on their perspectives.”
