Women and motorcycles generally mix like oil and water. For the most part motorcycles, mopeds and scooters are a mans game, however there is a group of ladies out there who seek to change that. These are the Gaskets, a gold jacket wearing group of girls who dig mechanized machines as much as their twig and berry equipped counterparts. Understand that these are not just a bunch of dolled up pretty-faced posers, but down and dirty bikers (albiet small bikes) who not only wrench on their own machines, but bring a little class to the two-wheeled world. Thus far, the only problem I can see with the Gaskets is that there simply aren’t enough of them around.

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…

As odd as it may seem Bottrop, Germany is home to one of the biggest moto-culture car shows in all of Europe. For 2011 Pixeleye Interactive shot this little number for Dickies Clothing and in doing so managed to capture some of the coolest pre-1965 cars, trucks and motorcycles out there. Aside from the vehicles the Kustom Kulture Show in Bottrop also showcases some of the best known hot rod artists the world has to offer, as well as an 1/8th mile drag strip where show entrants can drag their rides.

Hmm… I might just have to put this baby on my international bucket list.

I don’t know what it is about fast cars and cleavage, but they seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly. This is Abdo Feghali, the Red Bull sponsored Lebanese rally driver who has one goal in mind… give fans a taste of what it’s like to run full tilt in a race prepped Subaru STI rally car. Now we could show you the video of how a passenger lost their lunch in the back seat, or how one grown fan was seen whimpering like a scared puppy. Since this is a weekend though, we’d figured we’d just stick to a subject that we know you’ll love – boobs and speed. Click through for the video and enjoy.

Over the past few months we’ve been posting video snippets of the upcoming film, Fast Five. If you haven’t guessed it’s the fifth flick in the Fast and the Furious franchise and the one that could go down in history as the most profitable installment to date. Streetfire.net has just posted an amazing video that not only gives us some great behind the scenes footage, but also gives us some greater insight into the plot and how our favorite automotive fugitives plan to heist $100,000,000. This time around director Justin Lin has taken queues from movies like the Italian Job and Oceans 11 by filling the script with what looks to be a proper plot line. Combine that with new cast members like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a hopped up federal officer and you’ve got the makings of over 90 minutes of adrenaline filled action. Click through for the video and get ready to get your horsepower fix for the day.

What is it about hot chicks washing old cars that gets our juices flowing? Could it be perhaps that in some way, shape, or form we as modern men secretly want to be the cars themselves? Or is it perhaps the thought that if we buy an old car that this will happen to us every Saturday morning as we read the paper and sip our coffee. Sadly, as a classic car owner, I must report that neither of the above will happen to you if you own a classic automobile – trust me on this because I own two of them. In fact the only way that this would happen is if first, I got divorced, second I paid some big money to some modeling agency and third, I rented a beautiful house that was far, far away from Queens, NY. So, with that being said click through for the video and enjoy watching a beautiful woman wash a car that you’ll never own. Sorry guys, but sometimes the truth hurts…

Since we all know Ralph Lauren has one of the most sought after collections of automobiles, it should come as no surprise he takes inspiration from these vehicles for his various creative endeavors. In the past he has created a furniture line and produced several articles of clothing that take queues from his collection. This year Mr. Lauren has come out with new racing inspired clothing for his higher end Black Label line. Although it’s a bit unfair to come out with such cool jackets for such an expensive price, I wonder if Ralph will ever consider creating automotive inspired clothing for his less expensive mass marketed lines. Click through for my top picks from the collection:

Fair warning: this commercial features a Lexus LFA spinning donuts around Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Rianne Ten Haken. Aside from that, it seems utterly pointless, and it lacks the embedded humor of Nissan’s recent SI Swimsuit commercials. I’ve watched this Lexus ad a few dozen times now, looking for some hidden meaning in the dialogue (because I’d never watch a video just for the bikini model), but I keep coming up empty. It does need less dialogue from the director, Yu Tsai, and even Rhys Millen manages to speak without saying anything relevant. I’d have to call it Nissan SI Swimsuit model ads FTW, but you be the judge. Video below. Read More…

Nissan, on behalf of grown men everywhere, I have to thank you for these wonderful and tastefully done new advertisements that you’ve done for your new 2011 Juke compact crossover. You’ve done all of us proud by combining two of our favorite things together in one fail swoop. I mean who knew that half-naked women and a mini bug-eyed SUV could be so exciting. Hell, I know we would have never put the two together. Regardless, you guys should be commended for pulling this off and please know that from this moment on I will tell everyone I meet to go out and purchase you’re little lovable crossover. Well… actually I won’t say that because I’ve yet to actually drive the Juke (hint, hint), but I will tell everyone to watch these ads. By the way, nice job partnering with the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. You guys seemed to make one hell of a team. As for the rest of you, click through for the ads and enjoy.

Apparently Bobby never paid attention to the warning sticker on the rear shock that said: “Maximum Weight Limit 350lbs – DO NOT EXCEED!”…
