A Sinful Meal at Yauatcha - 360 MAGAZINE | ART + MUSIC + DESIGN + FASHION + AUTO + TRAVEL + FOOD ...

360 Magazine — Some meals are sinful. Their decadence almost ensures your glutinous damnation. Each minuscule morsel is ravenously devoured with the same lustful rapture say a night of carnal pleasure on a secluded, moonlit beach delivers. It's wrong, but desire overcomes your senses and you lose your sense of time, space, and all forms of manners in ...

Scarbo Performance SVF1 First Drive Review | A hot-rodder's take on vintage F1

Scarbo Performance SVF1 First Drive Review | A hot-rodder's take on vintage F1

Autoblog — THERMAL, Calif. - Some turn their nose to the sky as soon as they hear the term, "replica." They only care for "originals," cars that are inevitably destined to collect dust in someone's impeccably clean garage, preserved for posterity, and never revved in anger or given the beans in fear of fouling up an "investment."

Husqvarna's Vitpilen 701 is the Best Anti-Depression Tool We've Ever Tried

Husqvarna's Vitpilen 701 is the Best Anti-Depression Tool We've Ever Tried

The Manual — The last few weeks have been the most trying of my life. Then I was granted a day on the back of the Vitpilen 701 and every awful and depressing feeling faded into the smooth tarmac. The new Husqvarna motorcycle allows for human flight and is a bargain for both newbies and seasoned riders alike.

Ink and Art: Talking Los Angeles' Tattoo Culture and History

The Manual — Ubiquity is defined as "appearing everywhere or of being very common," and if you look at the throngs of people along Sunset Boulevard, walking the Santa Monica Pier, or strolling up and down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, tattoos appear ubiquitous. Most would brush the omnipresence of tattoos off as a common site in a progressive city.

The Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Is the Marque's Modern Masterpiece

Robb Report — My only retort after climbing out of the DBS Superleggera, atop one of Germany's picturesque mountains was, "What a {expletive} machine!" Aston Martin has, after a century of production, finally achieved perfection. In the cadre of precious exotica I've driven, the Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is the best car in recent memory.

Why the Apollo Intensa Emozione Could Be the Supercar's Salvation

Why the Apollo Intensa Emozione Could Be the Supercar's Salvation

Robb Report — There was a time not long ago when drivers were pushed to their limits-and routinely past them-when piloting supercars. Early examples from this class were known for being untamed and raucous, fire-spitting and hellish to handle-a true driver's automobile. In other words, one needed a high level of skill to even begin to approach the car's capabilities.

unnamedproject.com — First pressing of the Beetle’s White album, or its millionth download on iTunes? A Christian Louboutin, or its $40 Beijing knock-off? Can you spot the differences? 99-percent of the public wouldn’t be able to, but we all want to feel special, included in exclusive clubs, and there’s no more elite club than the world of classic automobiles.

Arch Motorcycles - UnnamedProject

unnamedproject.com — When talking with Gard Hollinger, the mad-scientist mind that has shaped Arch Motorcycle, you get the sense that while he is a strictly pragmatic businessman, ideas, emotion, passion and love flow through his veins like all brilliant dreamers. He knows that occasionally art comes before the bottom line. He isn’t one to purely fret over bills, overhead, and cash outflow—he does this also because he’s the guy in charge—he sees the endless possibilities in shaping metal, forming carbon, and delivering a motorcycle experience second to none.

Jalopnik — I'm not sure what to say to Alli. "I'm sorry" just feels so meaningless. I've repeated it too many times over the last week. I said it to Teo every time he smiled at me. Every time I changed his diaper. Every time I made his bottle.

roadkill.com — Whereas tarmac has laws, statutes, rules, and general norms and mores governing its use-things Blake Wilkey is all too familiar with-dirt is uniquely lawless. Out amongst the sand dunes, cracks and crevices, and sooty desert floor, modern-day Max Rockatanskys can still shout "Witness me!"

Arrogantly, I reply, "Nah, the only thing we're going to disturb is a jackrabbit two dunes over." Joe's hesitation is understandable. We're unloading his baby-only narrowly second to his actual human child.

Koenigsegg Came to Nevada to Beat Records and Did - The Inside Story of How 277.9 MPH Happened | ...

Automobile Magazine — Spend more than two minutes with the man, and you get the sense that, unlike for Einstein, time isn't relative for Christian von Koenigsegg. His idea of speed, however, very much is. What we Camry, Golf, Civic, and Tahoe plebeians call potential jail time, von Koenigsegg conceptualizes as infantile crawling, a trait his mythic Scandinavian machines very much embody.

Automobile Magazine — blip of the throttle unleashes a maelstrom from the V-10's exhaust. The fury vibrates through my body and bounces off the concrete chasm that surrounds the Automobile office. Ever since I hung that orange Diablo poster on my bedroom wall as a child, I've been dreaming of this day.

Everything you've learned or experienced, the way you talk, interact with others, perceive the world, and react to stimuli has coalesced to the point that little in our ever-changing world can actually modify the neural network that guides every moment of our lives.

Playboy — There it is. The question is forming in their mind. They've learned I write about cars and it's coming. Young, old, male, female; no matter the variables, people always want to know my take. "Autonomous cars are right around the corner, right?" They ask. "Maybe five years?"

Playboy — I can feel their eyes boring holes into me. Every time I get onto the gas. Each time the monstrous V8 bellows upon downshift. Whenever I'm idling at a set of lights. The Prius, Leaf, Bolt and Tesla drivers. Environmentalists. Those who live and breath the second coming that is koala-hugging electric propulsion.
