I Want That! – Cars You Will Never Own
17 Aug 2009, written by Revelation 0 Comments
O hello, look it’s James Bonds new car, and guess what, it will only be James Bond’s car because you will never be able to afford it. This is an Aston Martin One-77 that runs a cool $1.4 million dollars but also boasts a 7.3-liter V12, a carbon fiber chassis, a handcrafted aluminum body, and performance to match — including a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds and a top speed of over 200 mph. Go back to playing Goldeneye on N64 and forget Bond’s car.
Want a new supercharged, super awesome, supercar? Well sorry buddy but unless you got $185,000 your going to have to keep pushing your Toyota Tercel like a tough ass. Take a look at the Saleen S5S Raptor. This beast of a car delivers 650 horsepower, a 0-60 time of 3.2 seconds, and a top speed of over 200 mph. Choose from a 6-speed manual or paddle shifting. Keep dreaming looser.
So there are some nerds out there who don’t appreciate these cars because they aren’t “environment friendly”. Well let me introduce the Scorpion from Ronn Motor Company. This green machine will run on a 30-40 ratio blend of gas and hydrogen, which provides 40 mpg while still hitting 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. The fuel for the hydrogen-on-demand system is “derived from fracturing water molecules drawn from a small on board water tank, and will not require a high pressure on board storage tank. This tree hugger’s dream’s price tag is still $TBA (to be announced). But you can bet your solar panels and energy efficient appliances that this thing isn’t going to be cheap.
Silver bullet screaming speed? I think Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR Stirling Moss does just that. Truly a unique vehicle sporting no windshield, no roof, “swing wing” doors, and a mean styled carbon fiber body. Powered by a 650 hp supercharged V8 and limited to just 75 cars it is named after the legendary driver Stirling Moss. You can achieve a top speed of 217 mph, but the only silver bullet you will ever touch is that skunk Coors Light in your fridge.
Pardon Me While I Tell You About Incubus
11 Aug 2009, written by Revelation 0 CommentsYou see what I did with the title there clever right, yea I know. Anyway, everyone knows Incubus whether it be a song or two, or you are a hardcore fan all the way back to the first studio album “Enjoy Incubus”. What I want to explain to everyone is how good they are live. They played non stop for 2 hours, with a few little breaks to talk to the crowd, which included a loud “boooooo” when they mentioned Philly. What was most surprising about the night is that they played a song called “The Warmth” which is rarely ever played live. It is hard to classify Incubus to a specific genre, most say alternative rock, but you have to praise their ambition for unique sounds and ever changing style. In the show at PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey they used a variety of instruments including a djembe, sitar, didgeridoo, and bongos. I don’t know what the hell any of those things are, but they used them, and they sounded great! Enjoy the video we took at the concert featuring the full length song “The Warmth”.

The Best Dancer In The World
11 Aug 2009, written by Revelation 3 CommentsNo description really needed but feast your eyes on the greatest dancer to ever live on planet Earth. If you aren’t feeling his moves your brain must not be advanced enough to understand the sheer energy coming off his soul. If he alone wasn’t enough, his clone holds it down hard in the background. If your going to spend 2 and a half minutes doing anything in your life it must be to watch this incredible dance session. At 0:59 seconds he drops the fucking hammer so hard for a short period the Earth’s rotation stops.
For an honorary mention of an awesome showcase of dance skill and determination see video below. See how a dance party is really started
