If I had so much money that basic financial security was a distant past concern, I might consider listening to my inner 12-year old and placing a bid for this
1984 Pontiac Trans Am KNIGHT RIDER replica.
this is an exact to detail replica of the famous Talking car known as K.I.T.T from the t.v show KNIGHT RIDER.
1984 Trans Am, black with t-tops , tan interior, 15" Turbo Cast wheels and caps, molded from original front bumper with working red scanner light, rear blackout cover.
features a 2tv dash with real working digital gauges with dual 4" lcd screens.....gullwing steering wheel,upper console, lower console, pod unit ...all complete with buttons and displays as they were in the show ! complete stereo system with DVD/CD/MP3 player, amplifier and speakers.
I'm pretty sure that it would go cheaper than James Bond's Aston Martin DB5.
It was Ginster Yellow, had black leather seats...and was stolen during a business trip to Laval. Tabarnac!
When it was stolen, VW had already transitioned to the MK4 platform (you 'dubbers out there will understand) and I didn't really like it. Plus the newer GTI's didn't look all that different from the old people-high mileage model TDI...
So I wasn't really into VW's for awhile (except to have some fun in Rue's 2001 Golf 1.8 Turbo!) but I gotta tell ya - the upcoming '06 is making me drool!
Rue has already mentioned the unpimp your ride campaign, and the Spanish campaigns even trotted out one of my most hated rodents: Speedy Gonzales. One of the commercials treats him as he should be treated - I'll leave you to guess which one I mean.
Intel showed off two prototypes of Ultra Mobile PC devices at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco on Tuesday. The models are examples of full-featured, low-wattage minitablets that can run a variant of Windows XP, developed as part of Microsoft's Origami Project.
Now, who wants to sign up to test the bleeding edge of technology?
When my Super-Villianing finally starts to generate some real hard currency flow (rather than the terrified shopkeeper IOU's that seem to make up the balance of my Villiany assets) I want one of these
On the classic Monaco side, the black shade of the leather strap and dial is discreetly matched by the silvered folding clasp and steel case. The small seconds register at 6 o'clock is entirely in tune with the harmoniously understated overall effect. This subtle equilibrium contrasts with the other high-tech side of the case with its digital display dial and 1/1000th of a second chronograph function. The Monaco Sixty Nine embodies the bold characteristics of a new icon, a prestigious and highly singular object that will delight the distinguished devotees of the TAG Heuer Monaco.
Now what they should do is have a James Bond-version for Casino Royale with some kind of remote spying device, or remote detonation controller, yeah! That's the ticket!
In case you're in an area that's short of pubs, you can pack your own:
as now the super-strong among us can carry around our very own portable, inflatable pubs, complete with faux stone siding and tin roof. Measuring 40 x 19 x 22-feet, Airquee’s temporary shelter for the alcoholic-on-the-go can be inflated in around 10 minutes (with two small pumps) and is able to pack in 30 of your closest pals. A sturdy, internal aluminum frame can be used for hanging speakers, plasmas, or a disco ball, and doubles as a safety-measure should one of your guests accidently spill that flaming Dr. Pepper all over those plastic walls.
Although I would kill the guy that brought the darts...
And yet here it is in all its greenish glory on the shelves of the BC Liquor Store
As its popularity grew, so did public hysteria over its mysterious effects. Absinthe was the subject of many studies into alcoholism, at the time it was referred to as Absinthism. Its use was even considered a ticket to the insane asylum. In August 1905, Jean Lanfray, a Swiss farmer and known absinthe drinker, shot his entire family. The story made headlines around Europe, proclaiming that he was under the influence of absinthe, and ignored the fact that he had consumed several bottles of wine and other spirits during the course of his day. Absinthe was eventually banned in many countries around the world.
