Ducati Monster Diesel Edition

Two iconic brands, Ducati and Diesel come together to bring you the Ducati Monster Diesel Edition.

The bike starts with Ducati’s Monster 1100EVO and comes with the standard black Trellis frame, wheels and engine covers. But here’s where it gets interesting. The Monster Diesel Edition features an exclusive ‘Diesel Brave Green matte’ military-style paint job, Diesel-label seat, leather passenger seat cover, front brake callipers finished in bright yellow, new exhaust system heat shields and personalized nameplates.

And the bike isn’t the only thing you’ll be rocking from this collaboration. The brands also announced a Diesel-designed Ducati capsule collection that includes slim-fit biker jackets, shirts, jeans, belts and bags for men.

World’s Largest Scrabble Game

How do you justify having a game of Scrabble in the man cave? Blow it the F*** up!

The World’s Largest Scrabble Game spans more than 49 square feet and is nearly 5x the size of the original. It mounts on a wall and was handmade by John Kahn, renowned mixed media artist. We could bore you with what it’s made out of, but really all you need to know is that it’s quality construction and will last for generations.

Aside from being massive, handmade and ridiculously expensive, there are also only nine of these boards in existence. Naturally, we want it.

EXO | Electric Jet Ski

When James Bond goes to the lake for the weekend, this is likely the personal water craft he tools around on. It’s like a tiny aquatic B-2 stealth bomber and gives the distinct impression that little heat-seeking missile launchers could spring out of both sides on command.There’s also something undeniably cool about the way you ride on it: lying prone, head-first, superhero style. You look kind of like you’re trying to defuse its warhead before it destroys an aircraft carrier.

Now, don’t go thinking you’ll be an unstoppable water missile on the EXO. It’s pulled by an electric motor, which means no emissions and very little noise, and tops out at 31mph. So it’s really more of a casual family fun vehicle than the experimental torpedo weapon its sleek black lines suggest. But it’s definitely a wicked-looking family fun vehicle.

Sealander | Amphibious Camping Trailer

Camping trailers are great for just parking and camping out wherever you want: in a parking lot, in the woods, on the beach, in the water…Wait, in the water? It sounds like a mistake, and if you look at the images it kind of looks like one too–like somebody backed up just a little too far on the beach and the thing got away from them. But the Sealander lives up to its name.

Aside from being a full-featured camper with a cooking/washing module, cooler, heater, table, and benches that can all be rearranged, converting into a sleeping room, or removed entirely depending on your needs, it also freaking floats.

It can be launched without a boat slip or trailer system from just a small patch of shoreline, and has a 5HP outboard electric motor for puttering around in the shallows. You’re not going to win the America’s Cup in it, but if all you want to do is cast a line right from your bed, could it get any more perfect than this?

IWC Pilot’s Watch | Double Chronograph Top Gun Edition

If you’ve ever wanted a watch that both reminds you of Tom Cruise’s early career and costs more than your car, IWC has stepped up to the plate. This bad boy is going to run you a cool $12,000. Trust us, you read that right. Why does it cost so much? Damned if we know, but apparently there’s all sorts of cool top-of-the-line watchy type stuff going on here. Stuff like:

Mechanical chronograph movement
44-hour power reserve when fully wound
Sapphire glass, convex, antireflective coating on both sides and secured against displacement by drop in air pressure
Soft-iron inner case for protection against magnetic fields

It also has the Top Gun logo on it, too! That, alone, probably tacked at least, at least, an extra $30 to the price tag.

Aviator Lounge Chair

What do you get when a designer (with three decades of experience) puts over 3,000 hours into a piece of furniture? One helluva good chair.

Each handcrafted chair brings together a blend of wood, aluminum, steel and polymeric fabric suspension components. Straight from David Catta’s (the designer) mouth:

“With the Aviator series, I aspire to create an industrial sculpture evocative of early aviation that is functional, yet engages the viewer to embark on a journey – a journey to explore it’s seductive curvilinear shape, the handcrafted technical details that become visible through a slow walk-around, and the inner workings and subtleties that are revealed through the semi-transparent suspension fabric.”

A limited edition of 5 chairs will be released.

2012 Scion iQ

Have you seen one of those Smart Four-Two’s lately? Compare that to the new Scion iQ, which basically looks like a Four-Two on steroids: Which would you take?

Built on the Japanese version, the Toyota iQ, the Scion is targeted directly at consumers living in close-quarter, bustling cities like L.A. or San Diego. It seats three occupants comfortably (four depending on, um…his/her body size), and employs a modest (yet pretty adequate) 1.3L, I4 engine—worthy of some 94 stallions and 90 lb-ft. of torque. And consider that the car’s wheelbase is even shorter than a two-seater Lotus Elise and that it weighs a very lean 2,150lbs (the average midsize is about twice that), then Scion’s claim of an estimated 36/37 fuel economy and 315-mile range is easily believable.

The west coast gets first dibs on the iQ, then the East coast, and by March of 2012—the landlocked states. Can’t wait? You may just have to settle for a Four-Two for now.

2012 Hyundai Veloster

Honda and Toyota, prepare yourselves. Hyundai has been at the forefront of innovation over the last couple of years and they show no signs of slowing down.

Their newest creation, the 2012 Hyundai Veloster is rolling onto dealer lots this week. Just don’t expect to get your hands on one anytime soon. There’s a long waiting list of orders that need to be filled first (trust me, I checked). With a double-scooped aggressive front end, dual centered chrome-tipped exhaust outlet, sport-tuned suspension, hidden 3rd side passenger door, and 40 MPG on the highway, it’s hard to argue with a price tag starting at just above $17k.

Safety is taken care of too, including Vehicle Stability Management system (VSM), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Traction Control system (TCS) and an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

Want options? How about a panoramic sunroof, proximity key entry, push button start, 18-inch alloy wheels with painted inserts, 7-inch multifunction touchscreen with navigation system, and even backup warning sensors.

Gentlemen, this isn’t the Hyundai we once knew and you better believe that’s a good thing.

Custom Golf Carts | By Pennwick

The problem with most high-end, expensive cars: they’re just too darn big to drive on your lawn. If your taste tends towards the stylish but you’d rather drive pathways than highways, here’s a great choice.

Pennwick’s custom built luxury golf carts come in five different kinds of cool. If you’re into sleek and Italian, there’s the F5 sports car model. If you lean towards classic cars, there’s the Smoothster, based on late 30’s roadsters. There’s even one based on a 1950’s pickup truck.

Each has a heavy duty fiberglass body and maxes out around 20mph. And true to the word “custom”, there’s a bevy of options, like 6-passenger upgrades, leather seats, stereo system, and golf bag holder. A golf bag holder on a golf cart? What will they think of next?!
