Yamaha Y125 Moegi Concept Scooter

Yamaha Y125 Moegi Concept

If you have a look through our motorcycles category, you’ll notice we like to write about powerful and sexy motorcycles and it’s very rare we write about scooters or mopeds.  The Yamaha Y125 Moegi Concept does not meet our power requirements but it more than makes up for it with its sexy looks.  I’m not sure if it’s a motorcycle or a scooter but I like it.

With gas prices reaching the highest levels in history, a lot of people are turning to smaller displacement cars and some are even buying scooters to commute to work, but who wants to be seen on one of those ugly things with their tiny wheels and toy looks.  The Moegi, on the other hand, is the Ferrari of scooters, at least in the looks department.

Cruise Ships and Storms – The Ultimate Ride

I keep trying to convince a few friends of mine to go on a cruise with me, but they always tell me that they avoid them for fear of getting seasick. Well, after watching this video of a cruise ship in the middle of a bad storm, I’m starting to see where they’re coming from.

The video below was taking from inside the Pacific Sun after it encountered a huge storm about 400 miles off the coast of New Zealand. The cruise ship faced 25-foot-tall waves and heavy winds… waves and winds big enough to

Top Gear The Cool 500 Cars Book

Top Gear – “The Cool 500: The Coolest Cars Ever Made” Book

I can’t remember the last time I read an entire book; as I got older, I lost patience for the long-winded descriptions authors use to describe the simplest of things.  There are however, some books I don’t mind “reading”, like Top Gear’s “The Cool 500: The Coolest Cars Ever Made”.

The book is a must have (notice, I didn’t say “must read”) for any car fan.  The book features some of the coolest cars every produced, with amazing photography that’s signature Top Gear.  The book not only includes pictures, but in-depth commentary on the cars and all the technical information that should keep one busy for a very long time, if they’re into reading that sort of things.

How We’ll Drive In The Future

Concept Flying Car

Back in the 1960’s, we were promised flying cars by Hollywood (mainly the Jetsons), in the near future.  Well, we’re in the second decade of the 21st century and we have yet to take off.  Sure, there have been some concept flying cars but nothing that looks cool or can be produced, until now.

The concept flying car by students from the Department of Industrial Design at the School of Mechanical Automotive Engineering is designed by Pan Jiazhi, Zhu Wenxi, and Lai Zexin.  These students won first place at the First International Concept Car Design Contest, which is sponsored by FOTON motor company.
