Tesla Model 3 Announcement And Photos
After a long wait, the Tesla Motors master plan is closer than ever to becoming a reality. Tonight the Tesla Model 3 was unveiled with confirmations of the $35k price and the 2017 delivery date. The car looks good. In fact it looks like a Model S, but just a tiny bit smaller. Read on […]
Tesla Model 3 Preorder Lines Are Long
I just got back from the Tesla Motors store at Santana Row. My intention was to place a preorder for the Tesla Model 3. I gave up as the line was long. Crazy long. The line went around the entire building and then had to double-back on the other side of street because there were […]
Color Changing Bugatti Vision Gran Turismo
In typical Gadget King fashion let’s get right to the spoiler. The car isn’t actually changing colors. Apparently this is some magical video filter/editing trickery. If you look at everything other than the car you will notice it is all a bit grayscale. Still pretty darn cool.
How To Buy A Brand New 727 Horsepower Muscle Car For Just $39,995
As gas prices retreat muscle cars are hitting the roads in greater numbers. It is hard to believe that you can pick up stock cars that have over 600 horsepower so easily. For example; the 2014 Shelby GT500 (with a factory ROUSH stage 3 kit) has 662 horsepower and the Hellcat has 707 horsepower. Kids […]
Volkswagen Trailer Assist Behind The Scenes
This is a cool video of what appears to be a guy driving his car in reverse at high speed while towing a trailer. It shows the car passing cars on the highway, navigating tricky streets, and doing tight u-turns. All while towing a trailer. In actuality the trailer is the tow vehicle. This is […]
The Russian SHERP ATV
That is it. I am selling the Prius. The Russian’s have figured out what my next car is going to look like. It is going to look like the SHERP ATV. Mainly because it is going to be a SHERP ATV. The Russian SHERP looks like a lot of fun. Forget about the fact that […]
Legacy Jeep Scrambler
Remember when Jeeps weren’t family cars with plush interiors and 10 cup-holders? You know, the old 1980’s CJ-8 for example. The folks at Legacy Classic Trucks are pimping out an old Jeep Scrambler. The Legacy Jeep Scrambler ($110K) starts off the restoration with an aluminum 6.2L V8 engine that cranks out 430-horsepower. And then they […]
Carrand 94005AS AutoSpa Bagless Car Vacuum
Getting inside of a clean car always makes me happy. The opposite is true of a filthy car. Sometimes the interior just needs a quick vacuuming but that isn’t always convenient. Especially when you need to lug out the large household vacuum cleaner. Not only that, the attachments for the home vacuum aren’t particularly useful […]
Best UTV Skid Plates For The Money
If you were lucky enough to get a new UTV or Side-by-side for Christmas this year, congrats. I got a self balancing scooter. You know the “hoverboard” gadget that sends old men, like me, to the hospital. I’m not complaining. Thanks Uncle Vinnie. But… it isn’t a Kawasaki Teryx or a RZR XP 1000. I’m […]
Disney VertiGo Wall Climbing Robot Car
Disney Research (I didn’t even know they had such a thing) in collaboration with ETH Zurich has created a little robot car. A robot car that can climb walls. The Disney Robot Car, VertiGo, uses two tilting propellers that are used to move the car and also help it cling to surfaces. Cool right? The […]
