This must be some sort of cruel joke. Why was I not aware of these? Why was I not born into wealth in the 60s so I could own 26 of these?

So, no car buff here. Red pick-up truck. Blue sedan. That's about the extent of my auto lingo. But seriously, seriously. Are these not the most perfect vehicles ever?

Not exactly practical, no. Extremely hard to come by, that'd be my guess. And most of my image searching reflected chubby old enthusiasts planted inside of them. Ooo, the jealousy! :)


And as if that were not enough torture, feast yours eyes on the fiat meets volkswagon bus love child!:


Tears! Sadly, so very sadly I will resign myself to only owning perhaps one of these:



Maybe...A 1965 cutesy reproduction is going to be just as hard to get my paws on but at least only cost me about £85 in the joyous event that I do.

Oh man,

Normally, we would say scour craigslist & find a golden shining prize of a used bike for half the price but can we just take a look at this blacked out 50s design Schwinn, please?



Oh, man. So sleek! $300 is not that much of a splurge right?

While we're at this wishful perusing business, set your sights on these:


Saw this great concept over at the always spectacular Cool Hunting blog a while back and have thought about 'em ever since. A little plastic pack attached to your frame applies powdered chalk to your rear wheel as you cruise about! Leaving a colorful streak that traces your route.

As the designers put it "inspire curiosity and remind bikers where it's safe to ride, new bikers are encouraged to ride and use contrail, contrail lines get brighter as community grows". Bravo! We love it!

Studio Gelardi came up with the Contrail which will be available soon here.
