Toyota Geeks It Up Segway Style – Winglet
As if Segway wasn’t lame enough, Toyota joined the lineup of Segway’s knockoffs with a gimp little entry called Winglet. Winglet sounds more like a Maxi Pad knockoff for tiny cooters but I digress.

Chrome Ferrari 599?
So sad to see this type of thing done to a Ferrari 599GTB Fiorano, but at least the car is stuck in the desert. A, obviously rich and bored, Saudi Arabian fellow owns this blinged out Ferrari 599GTB. The car is not actually chrome… someone basically spent days buffing the aluminum body.

There are vintage bikes, a restoration area, a restaurant, cafe, and store. Admission will set you back $16. I just hope the dorks with the loud speakers on […]
