Swarovski Crystals Mercedes

Nothing says "I'm wealthy, but in an understated way" like a top-o-the-line Benz covered in Swarovski crystals. This shiny ride fit right in next to the private jets and fur-covered sinks on display at the Moscow Millionaire Fair, which is the Russian counterpart of the RNC. While it's probably not safe to drive this around most parts of America, we can see this safely cruising the streets of Moscow in between a handful of black, bulletproof Gelaendewagens.
We're not sure of how this car came to be, but it looks at least like the spiritual brother of this, if not actual kin. If you want something similar for your Benz, you might want to check Garson out and, you know, send us a few grand for the tip.




Future Gas Station












At the corner of Olympic and Robertson in Los Angeles, you’ll find a new kind of gas station. It isn’t like an ordinary gas station. We started with the typical, everyday station on that corner and renovated it in an eco-friendly way — a little greener in its design and materials and in its use of water and energy.
It’s not a prototype “station of the future.” It’s a station for today that’s a little better, a living lab where we can try out ideas for other stations and where people can find ideas they might want to bring into their own lives. It’s a kind of a conversation between BP and people who come into the station, a conversation about how we can both move up a notch on the green curve.
This idea grew out of BP's commitment to balancing society's need for energy with a responsible approach to the environment. It reflects our belief that small steps in the right direction can make a difference.

Mario Party Car

Words, they fail us. All that we are able to mutter is a "Mario" and a "pink" before cocking our heads sideways in attempts to understand what exactly is going on here. This we know: This car was spotted in Singapore and it's very, very pink. There are plush toys of various Nintendo characters strewn about inside, Nintendo-themed stickers on the outside as well as PSPs in the back seat. PSPs? How odd. With those stickers and stuffed toys, shouldn't they, you know, know?!

World's Largest Parade of Ferrari Cars

Guinness World Records has confirmed that a new world record was set at the weekend (Saturday 9 June 2007) for the 'world's largest parade of Ferrari cars' with a total of 385 Ferraris circulating the Silverstone race track at the same time.








In order to comply with the Guinness World Record's rules for such an attempt, the cars must all travel over a minimum two mile distance, no more than two car lengths apart, and must be counted at the beginning and the end of the parade. With a starting grid of Ferrari cars stretching from Becketts all the way to Copse on the Silverstone Circuit, the cars completed one full lap and covered a distance of three miles, driving two abreast around the entire circuit.
With several rare and extremely valuable cars in the Guinness World Record parade, ranging from a 250 California Spider and a 275 GTB/C through to the ultra-desirable 250 GTO and the ultra-exclusive FXX, as well as several examples of Ferrari's iconic supercars, the F40, F50 and Enzo, a conservative estimate of the value of the cars in the parade on Saturday would be in excess of Ł60 million - a perfect number to mark the company's 60th Anniversary.
Massimo Fedeli, Managing Director of Ferrari GB Ltd, said: "What an amazing sight... We are proud to have the support of so many Ferrari owners today in setting a new Guinness World Record. We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Owners Club, our Sponsors and everyone who has been working behind the scenes for months to achieve this fantastic record." Ferrari's 60th Anniversary worldwide celebrations culminate on 23 June when the Ferrari 60 Relay baton, which has been carried around the world by enthusiastic Ferrari owners from every country, arrives in Maranello, Italy, the historical and present home of the Prancing Horse.
