The new Razor Crazy Cart is probably one of the best toys to hit the market in the last 20 years. It’s obscenely fun for both kids and adults, and has the ability to make even the most hardened of individuals crack a smile and have fun. The guys at Razor also happen to be huge fans of Ken Block, and as such have created this tribute video to him and all of his gymkhana awesomeness! Check it out after the jump.

Go into any toy store and the odds of you finding LEGO play sets are pretty damn good. These little blocks have been around since 1932 and in that time they’ve helped expand the imaginations of both children and adults alike. Some people stick solely to the kits, however there are those who not only think outside the box, but blow the lid wide-f*ckin-open! Youtube user Sheepo’s Garage is one such person. He recently completed a LEGO Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 with an attention to detail that is simply astonishing. Check it out after the jump.

With the recent crop of automotive films such as SENNA, RUSH, and Patrick Dempsey: Racing Le Mans, I figured I’d post something up about a film that very few motor-heads actually know about. Love the Beast was the brainchild of actor Eric Bana, and tells the story of his first car – an old Ford XB Falcon. With appearances from Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and believe it or not Dr. Phill (really?) Love the Beast is one of those rare films that explains exactly why we love cars so damn much.

We sometimes forget that not everyone who owns a special car has to be an automobile enthusiast. For example, this is Lenny Hochteil and his 1981 Delorean time machine. Lenny describes himself as a “movie car guy” as opposed to an enthusiast, and he owns this particular car because of the way it makes him feel. Now, is there anything wrong with that? Well no, nothing at all as Lenny’s passion for this Delorean is the type of car that gets people excited and makes them ask questions about the hobby. Movie cars, race cars, daily drivers… it honestly doesn’t matter as we love them all.

Putting a Suzuki Hayabusa engine into anything that requires an engine is a good idea as far as I’m concerned. They make gobs of power, rev to the moon, and can be literally shoehorned into just about anything. Case in point – this RIDICULOUS golf cart that you’re about to see. I WANT ONE!

When the Tumbler first broke onto the silver screen as Batman’s new ride in Christopher Nolan’s 2005 Batman Begins, it cemented itself as an instant movie classic. It was bigger, badder and burlier than any other Batmobile that came before it, and looked to be a cross between a stealth fighter and a Mack truck. The cool part however is that this is an actual running and driving car and not just some movie prop as Jay Leno recently found out.

As I was doing some research on the Australian based Chrysler Valiant Charger, I came upon the short film, Peace & Quiet : Fast Pants – Tight Cars. To be honest it’s quite terrible and it reminds me of the video Sabotage from the Beastie Boys. There is however some kick-ass footage of old Valiant Chargers and classic motorcycles so it’s definitely worth the watch if you’ve got nothing better to do and lots of time to kill. Check it out after the jump.

This week on Jay Leno’s Garage, Jay Leno’s crew got the inside track on one of the coolest shows in Southern, CA, the Pixar Motorama 2013. This is a show that is put on for only the employees of Pixar Studios – you know, those guys who made the movie Cars, Toy Story and Wall•E. Everything from John Lasseter’s Woodie, to Steve McQueen’s Jaguar was on hand for the cameras to capture, so make sure to click through and check it out.

This is the Rage Comet R, and it’s as equally at home off-road as it is ripping around your favorite motocross track. It’s powered by a Kawasaki 1,352cc motorcycle engine that cranks out 200 hp. Pretty good stuff when you consider it weighs in at just under 1,100 lbs dry. 0-60 mph happens in around 3.5 seconds with a top speed of over 120 mph. Oh and by the way, it’s street legal… at least in the UK anyway. This is the type of road legal vehicle that enthusiasts over here in the U.S. would kill for. However since we can’t have it, you’ll just have to be content with watching the video. Click through and check it out.

Camping sucks – there I said it. Why anyone would want to go out into the elements, pitch a tent, and shit in the woods is beyond me. However there are those who love doing it. My idea of camping is different. You see I want a real bed, a toilet and a set of doors I can close that will actually keep wildlife and natures critters away from me. The Gall Boys Adventures down in Australia have camping down to a science, as not only do they make it fun and give you a roof over your head, but they give you a full dose of off-road awesomeness in the process. Check them out after the jump!
