KABOOM! Lighting hits

So today turned out to be pretty badass. The weather brought upon a terrible storm (which made traffic at TJ Maxx slow, huzzah!" Well my friends pulled up and ran thru the rain, so I thought i'd watch and laugh. They walked in right behind them across the street a lightning bolt hit a transformer and KABOOM! Giant explosions, fire and electricity everywhere. I was like, omg, that's amazing. I'm going to call 911 now. Response time: 15 mins...damn. That and the flipping car I've seen are now the two coolest things I've seen personally.

Futuristic cars of today

Remember those old episodes of Looney Tunes with the Cars of the future? One had a compartment waaaay in the back for that naggy mother-in-law. Well, here are some really cool vehicles that appear to be from the future.

Code X Yacht - This comes complete with touch screen control, a Kevlar/carbon shell with phototropic-shaded screens and windows and a GPS-controlled virtual anchor system that utilises the electric motors to maintain a stationary position regardless of wind or currents.:


Samsom Motorworks Switchblade - How awesomely funny would it be to drive past one of these on the highway, then it just decide to capriciously take off out of nowhere? On the ground it can reach speed of 90 mph on wheels and 134 mph when airborne. It can also travel 880 miles on ground and 340 miles in the air. The Switchblade is supposed to become FAA certified and available in early 2010.



2009 Fornasari Buggy - This is build out of special steel piping chassis in molybdenum-chrome with 450 pipes running across to maintain the stiffness and torsion, while weighing just 150kgs. Zero to 62mph in just 3.8 seconds, topping out at 174mph.



Hybrid Seven Roadster - Where are the cushioned seats? And what about the dashboard!? Who knows, who cares. Created by designer Eric Stoddard, the roadster is made of structural foam panels, sandwiched between layers of carbon fiber, with a projected weight under 450kg.



And finally, check out this sweet concept, the CarGo by designer Adam Schacter. It goes from "Smart car" to mini-truck. So cool.



...But where are the flying cars? I was promised flying cars...
