A New Challenger?


I'm an old school muscle car fanatic. Although I was always a Ford guy, I've had a '70 Boss 302 and a '70 Mach1 in the stable, these new Dodge Challengers have really caught my attention. The '09 is the second MY and it looks beautiful and strong. These new school muscle cars come in dope colorways as well. I may have to start matching my sneakers with my cars. Holla!

Check out the detail and pics released by Jalopnik below.

"Chrysler has unveiled the 2009 Dodge Challenger SE Rallye option, which gets a five-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous four-speed autotragic. It also gets stripes!"

Kicks & Ass

Playboy took a trip over to Chicago shopLeaders1354 to pick up a few kicks to throw on a pair of one of their models. We don’t need to speak much more, let the photos speak for themselves.

SHAQ versus LEBRON - Pregame Intro Battle!!

Before the starters take the floor, LeBron pretends to grab a bunch of cameras from his teammates and snaps pictures of them as they pose for group shots like high school students out on a class trip. It looks like the great "Photo-Op" has been outdone by Shaq "The Big Lebowski" O'neal.

Personally, I think these guys are a bunch of clowns. I can't imagine Magic or Bird doing this before a game.

When Barack was one of the fellas...

This is real audio from Obama's audiobook version of Dreams From My Father. In these audioclips he is actually quoting a fellow classmate, Ray, who cursed like a motherfucker.

Barack Obama is tired of your motherfucking shit

Buy this condo and get a Lambo on the side.



With both the housing market and the new car market in the dumpster, the developers at South of Fifth luxury condos and the folks at Lamborghini Miami are understandably keen to change that. As such, they've gone and teamed up to offer a "free" Gallardo Spyder with the purchase of an oceanfront luxury beachfront home.

If you're interested, check out the link below, don't sleep – there are only seven of 28 units left. Haha!

Oh – one last thing about this deal has us a bit puzzled: Don't people buy Lamborghinis in part because they want something different from their neighbors?

This Lamborghini is no Gallardo.







Lamborghini finally decided the time was right to officially reveal the new Limited Edition Lamborghini MurciƩlago LP650-4 Roadster. These are the first pics released.

Who's got 1.21 gigawatts? Let's go Back to the Future.


Google Street View captures the strangest things — like this line-up of DeLoreans outside of the DMC Headquarters in Humble, Texas. Seriously, it looks like a Doc Brown mad scientist convention.
