Top Gear is awesome, here the guys take these Alfa’s on a test track and see who can overtake the most cars. They try a few different tactics and have some slip-ups but just watch it

Crazy fast Go-Kart, great for Drifting (kinda)

Jim K — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:20:17 +0000

This thing looks awesome drifting around those corners. However, as you watch the video you can see it also looks highly unstable, he has to kick the thing out towards the wall before actually getting the thing to drift. Almost looks like he’s gonna smash into something quite a few times (he wasnt even wearing a helmet, i give the man points for having balls but not brains, lol). Don’t get me wrong, it looks like a blast to drive

Need more DIY?

Do you need more Do it Yourself projects? Then head down to Lifehacker.com and check out their DIY section!

One that i can vouch for is the Rain Gutters for PC cable management, it worked BEAUTIFULLY!

Here’s a pic of my cleaned up PC cables. That pic doesnt do them justice either, that angle was from the floor. From standing up and sitting in the chair you pretty much see NOTHING!

Nothing too crazy about this one, or perhaps it is totally crazy! Splattered paint in vivid colors, it is just really appealing to the eye. Awesome stuff.

G.I. Joe ballad

The Ballad of G.I. Joe from Olivia Wilde

Ever wonder what the Joes do in their downtime? Ever wonder what the Cobras do in their downtime too? I love how they got famous celebrities for these roles. Well done!

Top Gear: Polar Special Part 3

Jim K — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:46:11 +0000

Well here is the 3rd part and conclusion to the Polar Special. It was a bit anticlimactic but I blame youtube for that, we’re probably missing some of the show since it is just on youtube but all in all the Polar Special was especially fun to watch.

If you want to watch part 1 & 2 here you go.

Ken Block & Travis Pastrana having fun in the Salt Flats

Jim K — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:32:12 +0000

Here they attempt land speed records on things such as the little sleds you get from Walmart and trash cans. I personally think they just walked in Walmart and said, “Ok, what can we pull behind a car and possibly go fast on?” They’d probably have a cooler on that list but then they needed it for all the beer they bought.
