BING BONG! BING BONG! BING BONG! BING BONG! BING BONG!

I know I would be.

As much as I like Gizmodo, you guys post some really stupid concepts sometimes.

Glock started a revolution in the handgun world with their original models. They were able to use composites in a way no one has ever been able to before. Their safety mechanisms are not only elegant, but have made people think about gun safety in a whole new way. They literally changed how the world looks at guns…

I saw that Bentley State Limousine once! I was walking down Birdcage Walk toward Westminster, when I saw it coming up, with a small police escort, but no fanfare. Due to how the English like their limousines (no tint), I could see inside. I shit you not—It was Prince Philip with his head tilted back, asleep with…

Cool, thanks for sharing. I guess that clears it up.

@87CE 95PV Type Я: According to what I've read, that shit is built in Mexico, but VW does plan on importing them here.

I don't mean to get all Zapruder here, but I'm having a slow day, so I'll bite.

Hawt. So hawt.

@LandofMinos, proud hater: Subvert and survive!

Piezoelectric generation is a result of deformation of a crystal. It requires energy to deform that crystal, so it will increase rolling resistance for the same road surface composition. If the roadbed underneath the piezos is engineered to be less pliant (by laying down a less squishy compound than what is…

The electricity generated will come directly out of the pockets of the people using the roads. You don't get this type of energy for free. It will manifest in increased rolling resistance and poorer fuel economy. Of course, the amount of energy reclaimed will be orders of magnitude less than the extra amount of…

lol at the Intrepid and the red Explorer Sport.

Credit to the New York MTA for posting this awesomely bad anti-grafitti campaign from 1988 entitled "Don't Do It." I'm sure it stopped kids from starting a life of vandalism that would certainly lead their mom to get scared and say "You're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air."

I'd buy a piece of dog shit if it had Alpina decals on it.

Does that mean these are reproduction decals, since they don't have the fade like what you posted?

@turbosix: Whatever, dude. The truck and its drunk driver KILLED A GIRL. I don't think many of us give a shit if it passed inspection or not.

I'd like to know who in the western world was claiming the Earth to be flat around the time the Bible was written. The Earth has been accepted as spherical basically since classical Greece (i.e, hundreds of years B.C.).

It's probably based on an old car or truck rear axle, with the broom array attached where the driveshaft used to attach. That's really damn clever.
