The Gucci Yugo
Night Photography of the Abandoned West
Every day trucks pass us on the highway and we are completely unaware of what they may be carrying. But when one overturns, we get a peek into what is being carted around right under our noses. Sometimes, it's just a common item that we're not accustomed to seeing spilled on the road. Sometimes, it's a truck full of things we never thought about being hauled around by the truckfull. (From Dave Barry)

2 cars in one
Russian-born inventor Shalom Bloch built a two-sided car, by combining two cars so that they have two fronts. Now he can drive it either way. One side has an automatic transmission, the other a stick shift. The interviewer asks him: Why do you need to switch sits, instead of putting it in reverse? He answers: Now you don’t need to use reverse at all.
The biggest danger of driving this car (in Israel) is the possibility of accidents, due to curious drivers. The project to create this hybrid car took three months to complete. If he runs out of gas in one side, he can switch to the other & keep driving. (Thank you, Dafna!)
This is not the only 2-sided cars. There’s a Japanese version too.

Hey Folks, This one is really wild, but make sure you read the info below before you view the video and turn up the volume if you can. This is a car advertisement from Great Britain. When they finished filming the ad, the film editor noticed something moving along the side of the car, like a ghostly white mist. They found out that a person had been killed a year earlier in that exact same spot…

The Hipster GPS
Believe it or not, there are lots of people who have already done the same thing. School Bus to RV conversions are collectively called "Skoolies" around the Internet
Introducing the Hipster GPS. (Hat tip to Merlin Mann, father of the hipster PDA.)
This vehicle was specifically prepared for nationwide Dunkin Donuts commercial which is currently airing. It is truly a unique piece - possible for display for a variety of different business entities. It is certainly an attention getter. This vehicle is on dollies. It is self contained and supports itself on its own weight. Easy to move. Could be significant draw to any business with the right exposure. Park this in front of your place and draw a lot of attention. Cut away 1980 Eagle
