Hummer Gets Bent
By Will Gock

Who needs the Transformers movie? We found a monster right here. There’s a lot of money in oil. Maybe too much. From Dubai, the same land that brought you the recently discovered Burberry Maserati, comes this Bentley SUV oddly disguised Hummer. We’re going to avoid passing judgment and leave that part up to y’all.

Hummer’s Big-Screen Break?
By Will Gock

Everybody knows it ain’t the best of times over at GM–especially at the General’s big-bodied Hummer brand. With ongoing talks of the truck’s fate spawning more speculation by the day, there is somewhat of a glimmer of hope for fans. As seen in the above photo, both the HX concept and H3T will have roles in next summer’s Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen. Will it be enough to breath a resurgence of life into the gas-guzzling brand? Let’s just hope it hangs on long enough to see.

John Pszeniczny designs a timepiece that’ll make you pump your brakes. There are automobile-themed watches, and then there are true, automobile watches. John Pszeniczny’s F1/Carbon GMT concept is most definitely the latter. The digital display shows the time at any of the 18 race tracks on the 2008 Formula One calendar. Just like an F1 car, the watch is constructed of carbon fiber, metal and rubber – with rubies and Swarovski crystals for some added flare. As for price? Let’s just say it’s well into the 5-figure neighborhood. So you might want to try winning yourself a race first.

Lucky for the owner’s sake, we can’t really hate on this pairing spotted recently in Miami’s South Beach district. Although the Lamborghini badge on the chopper might be pushing it a little bit, we’ll let it slide this time.

2008 Bentley Continental Speed
By Marcus Amick
Rides Magazine
Chances are if Captain Kirk had the option, he would’ve kept a Bentley GT Speed on the Starship. This ride’s got all the cachet he would’ve needed to impress those Vulcan chicks, as well as the speed to get back to the Enterprise before Spock and the boys could send out a search team.
Noted as the fastest production Bentley has ever built, you’ll like the fact that, aside from a few exterior details, the GT Speed maintains ‘Classic’ Continental GT styling. The beauty of this beast is less conspicuous, which will help keep the haters at bay. Inside, interior details like the diamond-quilted leather seats and sporty drilled alloy foot pedals let you know right off the rip that this ain’t an average Conti’ GT. Continue reading…
