RideLust

She’s a fixture in the world of burlesque, a model and believe it or not, a pretty avid car collector. Dita Von Teese is the essence of the 1940′s. She drives a 1939 Packard 128, along with a 1946 Ford Super Deluxe convertible on a daily basis and seems to have an eye for the truly collectible. For most women driving either of these cars would be a daunting task, but for Dita Von Teese it’s just another day. Click through for the video and take a glimpse of what it was like to drive almost 70 years ago.

Muscle Cars at the Mansion is a yearly event where 40 or so of the coolest hot-rods, muscle cars and motorcycles gather for charity at the world famous Playboy Mansion. This year we were lucky enough to get an invite and with that a chance to cross off another item on the ole’ automotive bucket list. We brought our 1969 Dodge Daytona tribute car to display, and thankfully the big black beastie was pretty well received. Understand that this is not some backyard car show, but a gathering of some of the coolest cars on the planet. As for the Playboy bunnies… well, there was no shortage of them either. The Mansion was everything I expected. From the dark hidden paths that led to the game room, boom-boom rooms and zoo to the dim lighting of the fabled grotto, this place had it all. It also must have been an absolute riot back in its heyday. Here are some pics to give you an idea of how the night went down…

In the world of automobiles there is perhaps no better sight than a beautiful girl and a finely tuned hot rod. They conjure up R rated images in our heads and make us think naughty thoughts about what they do in their off time. These women are sexy, tough and at the end of the day, they help us bring a little style into the sometimes brash world of automobiles. These are pin-up girls and we here at Ridelust simply love them to death! Click through for the pics!

This concept is brilliant, and I wonder why no other auto show thought of this first. Hire a stunning, leggy blond, put her in skin tight dresses that show off her, um, assets, and have her give you a highlight reel of the New York Auto Show. As you may have guessed, it’s chock full of sexual innuendo, but you have to expect that from videos like this. Sadly, RideLust doesn’t have the budget to hire someone with Serene’s talents, and neither Mike nor I can pull off a sheath dress and five inch heels. That said, I think this series has more life than just the New York Auto Show; speaking for me, I’d watch Serene take us on a tour of a sewage treatment plant, a Shriner’s convention or even a trade show for morticians. Enjoy the extended coverage from the New York Auto Show below. Read More…

When a guy buys a car one of the first things they think about is what kind of impression their new whip will make on members of the opposite sex. Guys hope that their new ride will act as a big fuel belching pheromone that will make the ladies come running. More often than not however guys greatly overestimate the power of their cars appeal and it winds being more of a “Chuck” magnet than a “Chick” magnet. Keep in mind also, that since we’re guys and have no real understanding of how the female mind works, we usually end up just causing more problems for ourselves. I’m going to break this down into categories and give you a male pictorial perspective as to what kind of women we think certain types of cars will get us, versus what generally happens in reality.

Let’s face it, standing with a sign in your hand in the hot sun can be dangerous, especially when your daily caloric intake consists of a Red Bull, two stalks of celery and a piece of lettuce (without dressing, since that’s for fatties). This grid girl, working an ADAC GT Masters race, found out the hard way that locking your knees isn’t a good idea, either.

The driver, Ronald van de Laar, repeatedly asks his crew member to check the car after the grid girl falls on it. I’d like to think that I’d show a bit more compassion, perhaps making sure the girl is still breathing before I worry about the car. I guess van de Laar is more focused than I was, which is why he races cars for a living and I don’t.

You probably change the channel when a Geico or Esurance ad comes on; I know I do. Still, I have a feeling you’ll want to watch this video, for reference purposes only of course. It’s important to know what’s going on in the world of UK motorcycle insurance, even if you do live on the other side of the pond.

Martina Ivezaj, proving that sometimes 'mistuning' can be a good thing.

Tuning World Bodensee has released images of the contestants for the 2010 Miss Tuning crown, currently belonging to Martina Ivezaj, pictured above. The winner will be announced during the 2010 Tuning World Bodensee event, scheduled for May 13 to 16. Knowing the Germans, I’m sure the contestants have to do something other than look good in a bikini. I’m not sure if there are hands-free bratwurst eating contests, but if not, there should be.

In addition to fame and fortune (and lots of pics on the internet), the winner gets a yet-to-be-identified “sports car” and will be in a photo shoot “somewhere in the U.S. Great Lakes”. Which of course makes me wonder if the runner up gets TWO trips to the Great Lakes.

Anyway, enjoy the contestant pics below:

See those wheels? They're bulletproof.

OK, I don’t really know if the women in these pictures are hookers. Let’s call them “models with an affinity for cash” instead. Do you remember the Dartz Prombron? It was the Russian built uber-luxury SUV that allowed buyers to check the option box for whale-penis leather. They’re back for another go-around, this time touting the Red Diamond Edition of the Prombron.

Since I know you’re eager to pony up a downpayment on the truck’s $1.3 million asking price (it DOES have a tungsten exhaust and gem encrusted gauges, after all), I’m including lots of pictures below. In the interest of journalistic integrity, however, I will not publish the shot of the hooker model straddling the cannon shell, since it’s got nothing to do with the Dartz Prombron Red Diamond Edition. We have our standards, you see.

Ever wonder what a car show Babe is thinking when she lays eyes on you at a show. Sure, you might be thinking that she’s into you because she flashed you that little smile. Or maybe you think that you’ll go for drinks after the show if you just hang around her booth long enough. Hell, you may even think you’ll go all they way if you pony up and actually plunk down some hard earned greenbacks on a purchase. Odds are though you’re all dead wrong. Sure, these booth Babes are nice too look at, but I can assure you that if you look a little deeper into those eyes, you may come away with a different message entirely.
