We like our LEGO around these parts. Usually, when we are talking about a LEGO Technic car kit, we are talking about an insanely complex and expensive bag of parts. The $350, 3599-piece Bugatti Veyron kit is an excellent example of how extravagant LEGO car kits can be.

This awesome Pepperoni Pizza Corvette by Dan Collier may be cheesy, but it has some pep to it. Pepperoni that is. Dan also goes by the name PizzaMan Dan, because why wouldn’t you make your entire life about pizza?

Car Pool Tables, based in Largo, Florida, takes old sports cars and muscle cars and turns them into unique pool tables. If you have money to burn and don’t mind that these classic cars have been chopped up a bit, this should be your next car purchase.

Around these parts, we like gadgets, games, LEGOs, and lots of other geeky crap stuff. But we also like our cars. General Motors put out a press release this week about the engine that will be used in the 2014 Corvette, and the gear-heads around here got all tingly.

I am a major car guy. I lean more towards the Mustang, but I can appreciate sweet cars for other brands like Chevy and the Camaro and the Corvette. I like the looks of the Corvette and once I am 60 and own a few more gold chains, I might buy one.

By starting with a 1/6th scale remote-controlled Chevy Corvette ZR1 as the basis for his casemod project, modder Bill Owen managed to create a complete desktop PC on wheels. Under the hood of his “Project blur” Vette ZR1 is a Jetway NC64 Mobile ITX motherboard, housing a Quad Core Q9000 mobile CPU.
