Doo doo doo doo doo doo...... (that was cue the mucic). Anyway, it seems a lot of cars cease to function in the 5-block area around the Empire State Building. More at Neatorama.

Absolutely too cool. Extraordinary art sculptures from hubcaps making the rounds on the Net. See gallery at Jalopnik, credit to Spulch.

   

Kings, Queens and Presidents have their own state-supplied wheels. For a great gallery of what's on the road, visit Crooked Brains.  Sorta' ties into the armored vehicle article below.

   

Interesting lineup of Volkswagen cars designed for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Check 'em out at TheContaminated.com.

   

Over at Crooked Brains,  there's picture after picture of how they armor a vehicle. All to the tune of $70,000-$100,000 for the fix-up.

 

Real story over at CultureGarage on the Porsche RS Spyder. But, most of all, the photo was striking - showing off a huge photo studio and lightbox. Like insider art.

 Cherry Bomb^® has been Disturbing the Peace Since 1968 and now they will be even harder to ignore at the track. Cherry Bomb has introduced a new header-style Glasspack designed for those who want it loud, off-road vehicles, or a custom racing exhaust. Each new Cherry Bomb header-style Glasspack bolts directly to the header for immediate power and torque. Each one features a true 3” straight thru core. The new header Glasspacks are being released in four sizes.

20” with a 3” diameter flange, 3” outlet, part # 87554

26” with a 3” diameter flange, 3” outlet, part # 87555

27-1/2” with a 3-3/8” diameter flange, 2” outlet, part # 87551

36” side pipe design with a 3” diameter flange and side outlet, part # 87553- Great for Jeeps!

With direct flow from the block, straight through the special tuned tube wrapped in high temp packing, expect a loud, aggressive sound backed by maximum power and torque. 

Too cool. Love great creative. There are a couple more shots over at  Culture Garage, with the note that they may just be "spec" ads and won't appear in publications.
