Glass Truck – Chiang Mai, Thailand

Utility, the common known descriptor used to quantify the relative satisfaction received from consuming a particular good or service. When it comes to things on wheels, the term applies directly to clever use of space. Another way of putting it…how can I extract the maximum amount usefulness from the vehicle’s interior. People usually go right to SUVs, Trucks, Station Wagons, and Minivans, but that’s not to say clever use of space is not important for sedans or other body configurations. This interesting little hauler, spotted in Chiang Mai, Thailand, is glass heavy with minimal sheet metal. Vehicle height supersedes the small footprint in achieving a spacious cabin. With the rear bench folded down, one could seemingly move out of a small apartment with all the cubic feet of storage space on reserve. Check out the zig zag step ladder and massive greenhouse in the rear. It’s far out in a far east sort of way. All I can think about is the crazy amount of broken glass splashing rear occupants in the event of a side impact. Let’s hope it’s plexiglass for their sake.
Garage Queens: Porsche 911 GT3 RS – West 14th Street, NYC
June 30th, 2011 by
This 2010 911 GT3 RS (RennSport) might be restrained by acres of concrete and metal railings, but it still manages to look blindingly fast while standing still inside of this West 14th street parking garage. The Carerra-based racer is essentially a street legal race car. Seriously, it’s a homologation version of the GT3 RSR racing car used for competition events like Sebring and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Hopefully the owner escapes from the concrete jungle once and a while to let this baby stretch out her lightweight flywheel (yes, I’m talking dirty with automotive jargon).

Corvette Convertible – Hudson & Jane Street, NYC

It’s a pity not all the C3 Corvettes clunking around nowadays look this good. We love the color combo, bars behind the headrests, racing gas cap and louver detail throughout. We have definitely seen some nice ones before, but nothing as striking as this one. No matter how nice an example though, I can’t help but think of Mark Wahlberg’s well endowed character in Boogie Nights every time I lay my eyes on one of these.
Robocob’s Segway – Union Square, NYC

We’re all for creative solutions to mounting urban mobility challenges, but the mental image of cops chasing bad guys on one of these things doesn’t inspire much confidence in the future of NYC law enforcement. Can’t they at least mount machine guns to the sides or something?
Nissan GT-R – 7th Ave & 13th Street, NYC
April 10th, 2011 by
The Nissan GT-R, amongst other high-po sports cars in its price and performance range, is a relatively low key vehicle. Throw a super loud paint job like this into the mix and you can no longer fly under anyone’s radar. Hell, you can see this hue from space. Godzilla, as it’s lovingly known by enthusiasts, looks a lot better in Orange than I ever could have ever imagined though. Very exotic. Very slick. Very fast.
It’s hard to tell from this vantage point, but the hood is actually a carbon fiber affair. This thing is shoe in for Fast Five
