Done by DC Shoes, in the same vein as Ken Block's Gymkhana but for the freestyle motocross crew. I really enjoyed it, at least up until the actual video was over and they started in with the five minutes of clothing commercial. :laughing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VHaQeY88po For the...

My 2010 VW GTI is coming up on its 36k mileage mark (I bought it used) and, being leery of the "German Money Pit" reputation that these cars tend to have depending on who you ask, I was considering a 3rd party warranty since VW doesn't sell them directly, from what I understand. Most of them...

I'm not sure if General or For Sale is more appropriate since I'm not actually the one selling it, but I was down at the Solvang Motorcycle Museum this past weekend and was checking out their website. I have always loved the Hawk and have lusted after one since first seeing it many years ago...

Hey all, My wife and I are travelling to Malaysia in late June (gonna die from the humidity and heat!) for a friend's wedding, and are taking a short jaunt around southeast Asia beforehand. Our flights are running through Siem Riep in Cambodia and Bangkok, with a few days in each. We probably...

Swiss trains, gorgeous countryside, Canon 5D Mark II, and tilt shift lenses. Pretty fun video. :thumbup http://vimeo.com/4946315

:rofl http://www.nba.com/video/channels/barkley_zone/2009/05/11/nba_20090510_askchuck.nba/ Apparently the Round Mound of Rebound sunk a million bucks into the company, but doesn't really get the definition of monkey butt. :laughing

Well, would ya? I think if there was a free, reputable outlet, I would almost certainly continue to patronize that site over one I had to pay for. If there really were a paradigm shift like Murdoch sounds like he's hoping for and good free news sites went the way of the dodo, I would probably...

Hi all, I've recently upgraded to an LCD so I'm no longer in need of this monster. It's fully functional and still looks great for a CRT. I bought it about 4 years ago for ~$600, and I'm just looking to get it out of my living room. It's got three inputs, 2 in back and 1 in front (side...

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/tech/2008/10/20/neisloss.india.brain.mapping.cnn Interesting technology. It sounds a lot like a no-response-required lie detector test, but the possibility of false conviction would still scare me. I guess that's why lie-detector tests can't usually be...

Hi all, this jacket is overall in excellent shape. I'm not super familiar with the line, but at one point I determined that it is a Technic Lightning, I believe it was called. Out of date now, so couldn't really find it on the web anywhere. It's red, white, and black, with decent foam armor in...

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5764886.html Dudes are big time pot. . . heads. :rofl Dave Chappelle's got a new addition to his list of "MacGuyver Smoker" implements. :laughing

I'd like to avoid going to somewhere like Matco because it sounds like you won't get a good result unless you do the prep yourself and I'm trying to avoid that. I did a search, and it sounds like Cyclefinish would be ideal. I'd love to go there but they're booked for quite a while it sounds...

I know someone's probably going to pop on with an immediate link to a review of it, but I DID search and couldn't find anything. :laughing I just saw it on New Enough but haven't heard anything about it. I like my light smoke shield because it's tinted enough for most sunny conditions but can...

I'm headed down to meet up with the fam in Pismo Beach, leaving EARLY Saturday morning (6am-ish?). I can't dally too much as I'm due for a late brunch on Saturday. I'll be headed back Sunday probably late morning to early afternoon. Here is my proposed route down there...
