…Lamborghini’s LP640 is automotive nirvana?

Lamborghini LP640

The Supercar Movies Lamborghini LP640 film is an amazing piece of automotive nirvana.

Every angle is highlighted, every curve is accentuated, every sound is emphasized, and every pixel is optimized.

And, since it’s available in HD, you won’t miss a single detail.

(Seriously though, for fans of the four-wheel machine, this is a must see.)

…Be Kind Rewind is creative?

Be Kind Rewind

How do you advertise for a movie about two video store employees that replace erased tapes with low budget recreations?

Simple: Replace the trailer with a low budget recreation.

Original:

Low Budget:

Brilliant!

BTW: Be sure to check out the Be Kind website, as it has also been “Sweded”, and is one of the best movie sites I’ve seen in some time.

…MacBooks are available as other elements?

MacBook Elements

Now that the MacBook Air is out, what about the rest of the elements?

To see what Apple might have in store, DVICE has created a line of alternative MacBooks, including a MacBook Earth, a MacBook Fire, and a MacBook Water.

It’s like Captain Planet Computing!

…It’s Things Thursday: FriendsWithYou Mimobots?

FriendsWithYou Mimobots

Mimoco is celebrating Valentine’s Day by releasing a “super limited edition” series of their Mimobots, done in collaboration with FriendsWithYou.

Mr. Phantom and Buddy Chub are the first in the series to arrive, and there are only going to be 411 of each made, so hurry if you want one.

The rest of the series (including Malfi, Smiling Malfi, Super Malfi, and Mr. TTT Rainbow) all arrive in March, so keep an eye out for these limited edition flash storage devices if FWY is your style.

…Ice chewing is the next big trend?

Ever heard of ice chewing?

The Wall Street Journal sure has, and they’re trying to prove that they’re still ahead of the trend game by dedicating an entire article to it.

However, judging by what they uncovered, calling this an emerging trend may not be too far off target:

Stores are selling it, there’s a message board dedicated to it, and chewers are even beginning to trade tips.

Think you’re cool enough to join the club?

…It’s Website Wednesday: Popurls?

Popurls

Popurls is “the dashboard for the latest web-buzz, a single page that encapsulates up-to-the-minute headlines from the most popular sites on the internet”.

Think of it as the best of the best, gathered up and laid out in a clean and easy to read format, with plenty of customization to make it your own.

If that’s not enough, you can also access popurls on your iPhone, via Twitter, through Jaiku, from Facebook, on the PS3 and PSP, and with the Wii.

…Jawbone eliminates noise?

Jawbone

Need to sell a few Jawbones?

Simple: Just get Miss Missouri to use it poolside.

What was that about sex and selling again?

…Your baby needs a mohawk hat?

Baby Mohawk

Babies will pretty much wear anything.

Thus, you can stick a hot pink beanie complete with hot pink mohawk on top of their head, and you won’t have to listen to a single complaint.

Want something else?

How about a fleece hyena hat with a mohawk attached?

It’s a bit of punk meets a bit of rock and roll, and it’s all awesome.

Doesn’t your Mini-Me deserve one?

…Scion xBs need more power?

Scion xB

Want to drive a toaster in the fast lane?

Then follow in this Scion xB owner’s footsteps and shoehorn a stroked 350 V8 into the engine compartment that then feeds 450 newly discovered horses into the converted rear wheel drive axle.

That’ll get the job done. Right?

…It’s Tuner Tuesday: Makela Auto Tuning’s 1929 Ford Model A?

1929 Ford Model A

A 1929 Ford Model A isn’t exactly the car that you expect to see for Tuner Tuesday, but when it’s been given a 250 HP rally-spec Cosworth engine for motivation, anything’s possible.

Built by Makela Auto Tuning, it’s basically a pristine condition classic with a few extra ponies added in for fun.

To handle the extra power, the original wood wheels were replaced with wood-look metal, and better seatbelts were installed to keep things under control should the going get tough, but besides that, it’s pretty much 1929 through and through.

What types of numbers are you looking at here?

How about five seconds to sixty and a top speed of 124 MPH?

Unique is one word for it. (Crazy is the other.)
