Abandoned Japanese Highway – Motorcycle Ride

I don’t usually give two shits about cars, trucks, or any other sort of vehicle. There’s a good reason that I leave those topics to our other more capable, auto enthusiast writers here at Unfinished Man. Every now and then, though, I’ll see a video of a car or bike zipping along an interesting place, and it gets my adrenaline pumping. This is definitely one of those videos.

Filmed on an abandoned national highway in Japan, this motorcycle trek looks like quite the adventure. If you’ve seen the cinematic version of

The Flying Hovercraft

I’ve always been fascinated with hovercrafts, I don’t really know why? Maybe because a hovercraft is a boat that flies/glides over water and land, and who doesn’t like a flying boat? A normal hovercraft is cool but the “Flying Hovercraft”, shown here, not only glides over water and land; it actually takes flight like a plane.

The Flying Hovercraft does everything a regular hovercraft can do but it can also fly up to 50 feet above ground and reach speeds of up to 50 miles per hour. The flying hovercraft takes flight with the help of two lightweight integrated wings and is powered by a fuel-injected turbocharged twin-cylinder engine that produces 130 horsepower. The flying boat can carry a payload of up to 600 pounds and has a range of 160 miles.

BAIC B80VJ – Chinese Knock-Off Mercedes-Benz G-Class

Regular readers of Unfinished Man know just how much we like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and I’m sad to announce the Chinese have ruined this beautiful off-roader by making a knock-off of it (we have a post of other Chinese car knock-offs here). The replica G-Class will be showcased at the Beijing Auto Show in April and is produced by Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co., or BAIC.

The ~~awesome~~ shitty replica is called BAIC B80VJ (an equally shitty name) and is currently a “concept”, it will see mass production later in the year. The B80VJ does look very much like the G-Class based on the drawings/rendering below, except for the front part (which looks like one of the Jeeps, can’t remember what it’s called). I’m guessing BAIC changed the front thinking they’ve improved upon the G-Class’s design.
