GMC Yukon XL Motorcoach By Lexani Motorcars

We’ve written about a couple of vehicles modified by Lexani Motorcars such as the Toyota Sequoia and the Mercedes Sprinter and today we bring you the GMC Yukon XL Motorcoach which is strictly business on the outside and a huge party on the inside. The Yukon XL you see here can now be referred to as an XXL as this large SUV has been extended by 30-inches allowing lucky passengers more freedom to move around, work, and of course play.

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept

The hottest little car in the tuning world is about to turn up the heat a little more with the unveiling of the convertible Toyota FT-86 Open. The FT-86 name was given to the concept version of the now Scion FR-S, Toyota GT86, Toyota 86, and Subaru BRZ. The FT-86 Open is still a “concept” and it will be making its first public appearance at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Apparently the Toyota FT-86 Open is only one stage from the production trim.

No word yet on whether or when the North American Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ will be receiving the convertible versions of this vehicle. The Toyota FT-86 Open will continue to have a 2+2 seating configuration and besides the missing roof, the overall appearance of the vehicle looks the same as the standard coupe. Changes that we do know about include new alloy wheels, and a couple of body modifications such as the windshield to accommodate the retractable roof. The roof will be a soft-top but I’m sure after market companies will be quick to provide hard-top options offering several variants in terms of design.

2014 Volkswagen Golf GTI MK7

I’ve never been a fan of the Volkswagen family and I have always seen them as overpriced and just average vehicles. The 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTI (MK7) was recently unveiled in its production trim and looks quite similar to the previous generation MK6. Perhaps the GTI MK8 will have more drastic changes. The 2014 VW Golf GTI gets the standard upgrades over the regular model such as red accents on the front grille, smoked LED tail lights, honeycomb grille inserts, a twin pipe exhaust, rear spoiler, diffuser, and side skirts. The GTI also sits on a pretty nice set of 17-inch alloy wheels.

The interior should be similar to the previous generation of the Golf GTI with the base model featuring the classic tartan pattern fabric for the sport seats, black headliner, flat bottom steering wheel, and red ambient interior lighting.

Life After Death With EterniTrees Urns

For thousands of years, people have believed that a death does not necessarily mean that it is the end. That there is another life waiting for us whether it be in heaven, hell, or being reincarnated into something else. Whatever your belief, there is no proof of life after death although scientists are hard at work trying to figure it out. While we look for answers, a few companies have taken the “life after death” thing into their own hands by thinking outside the casket box.

Eternitrees for example, have developed a biodegradable urn that will use the ashes of your loved one and grow into a tree. Cremated ashes contain beneficial plant nutrients which can be released with the help of a unique mixture that can be found in the EterniTrees Urn. The ashes on their own are actually harmful to plants but the formula found in the EterniTrees Urn can cancel out that negative effects. Instead of spreading the ashes of the deceased, this method allows you to have a memorial for your loved one right in your backyard for generations.

2014 Jeep Cherokee – What The Eff?

Seriously, what in the world is this shit? The Jeep Cherokee disappeared off the map for a few years and its back and looking fuglier than ever! The 2014 Jeep Cherokee will be replacing the Jeep Liberty as their new mid-size SUV. If you think the Nissan Juke is unique looking, think again. I don’t really even know what to say about this new SUV besides making my point of it being hideous to the power of 10. It’s good to be unique in this competitive market but maybe a little too much in the case of this new Jeep Cherokee.

It would make a lot of sense if these photos were released on April 1st but I’m afraid that’s not the case here. What does this thing remind you off? I think the main issue here is the name of the vehicle. The Jeep Cherokee was a great SUV and quite capable. The 2014 Jeep Cherokee might be capable in the performance department as well but the design aspect of it does not live up to the Cherokee name. Maybe if it was a completely new SUV with a different name, the reaction might be different from everybody.
