Think You Can Drive? This Guy Can Wheelie an Excavator!

October 17, 2009

Well, I’ve seen some pretty bad ass driving in my life, and I don’t think I’m all that bad myself – but here’s a guy who can take like a 10 ton piece of heavy equipment and rock it onto two wheels and drive back and forth! I don’t know what they pay this guy [...]

There are quite a few things I want when it comes to motorized contraptions, but very few I want more than a fully electric motorcycle. And here is a contraption that’s right up that alley. A pedal powered electric bike from Germany called the eROCKIT allows a rider to go 50 MPH! I think the [...]

Crazy Motorcycle Riding in India

June 19, 2009

I saw this video weeks ago, but never posted it. However, every single time I ride my motorcycle on the highway I think of this. I can’t help it! It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen on a motorcycle! This guy is laying down on his motorcycle riding through traffic in India, where no one [...]

People who are really wanting to go all electric in terms of their personal transportation haven’t had a lot of options. Sure, you could get a Vectrix electric scooter, or if you had a boatload of cash you could buy the Wrightspeed X1 Supercar. But of course, there is one other option. You could always [...]

The Porsche Panamera is So Ugly… Someone Should Be Fired!

April 25, 2009

This wretched hog of a vehicle looks like an AMC pacer had it’s way with a 911, and the god-forbidden spawn grew up into the Porsche Panamera. Seriously, I wouldn’t care if this thing had 1,000 horsepower, and hovered. I will ridicule anyone who buys it. Mercilessly. Go ahead! Just take a look at what [...]

I Executed My AMG

April 10, 2009

Well folks, yesterday I committed a cardinal sin. I wrecked my new AMG that I just told you about not long ago. Those of you who follow me on Twitter got the news about an hour and a half after the wreck… just after the tow truck took my car back to the dealership from [...]

I gotta admit, that old TV show CHiPS from the 1970s helped me fall in love with motorcycles. There was something really cool about the fact that they were chasing people down on two wheels. But really, we never saw Ponch or John do anything amazing on their motorcycles. It might have left one wondering [...]

Ken Block Practices Gymkhana Autocross

January 14, 2009

First of all, thanks to Perry Quinn over at Lijit for turning me onto Ken Block! Ken Block is a driver for Subaru, and apparently whenever they need someone to do something completely insane, they give him a ring. He has gained worldwide notoriety for his exploits outside of rally competition, having successfully jumped his [...]

John P. Gets a Mercedes AMG CLK55 Convertible… and Loves It!

January 12, 2009

My long time readers are already aware that I have a veritable stable of vehicles, including my NSX and my Q45. In fact, right now in my driveway there are 1,780 horsepower worth of vehicles just sitting there begging me to take them out and blister some pavement. So last week when I drove up [...]
