THE STAIRCASE HOUSE - FRANCE

NO COMMENT

What: The Staircase House designed by H2O Architects (photography by Stéphane Chalmeau)
Where: France
Why: Designed for a teenage kid who was looking for "independence", in response his parents put him in this backyard playhouse. Yup... that is the truth.

Ransom x Endeavor Snowboard
Two of the sickest Canadian brands, I have been a believer in Endeavor Snowboards since day one. Their team is wild and now they have another wicked shred stick to show off. Good luck in the many years to come, ENDEAVOR 4 LIFE! Respect to Ransom still, good looking out homies.

AS ALWAYS BIG THANKS TO HYPEBEAST AND SNEAKERFREAKER.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Roadster & Mercedes SLR Speedster Render

DROP TOP BANANAS

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Roadster
The Bugatti boys shook up the car world today by releasing the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Roadster. No information has been released except that it will make its public debut at this year’s Pebble Beach Concourse d’Elegance, on August 16th, 2008.

BOTTOM LINE:
The Veyron Coupe is the king in dressed in a power suit, the GS Roadster is the king dressed to get crunky on a friday night baby. Either way, you are rolling with the king if you own one of these bad boys.




Mercedes SLR Speedster Rendering
After the release of the SLR Speedster spy pics, artist Jon Sibal, got so excited that he created these renderings to help us better visualize the upcoming debut.

BOTTOM LINE: An instant classic if the actual ride looks anything like these renderings. Mercedes/McLaren take note.

Below is the animated transition from the SLR Speedster concept to Jon's SLR Speedster version.




THANKS TO JON SIBUL AND WORLDCARFANS!
