I got a chance to check out the Roadster Shop’s C1-RS Corvette this past weekend at the Goodguys West Coast Nationals, and was AMAZED by the level of detail in this award winning street machine. (Street Machine of the Year to be exact.)
Under the hood lies a 618 horsepower LS7 with a T-56 transmission that does its best to transfer all 640ft lbs of torque, while Detroit Speed & Engineering suspension keeps the tires planted and 14” Brembos bring everything to a stop.
Outside, the ‘vette features carbon fiber side louvers, a front end that was entirely customized out of aluminum (including all grills, grille surrounds, front bumper and grille bar) and a rear end with enough carbon fiber to make an F1 team jealous.
Inside, it’s all luxury, with Italian leather, Alcantara suede, a hand-sculpted aluminum dash, and Classic Instruments carbon fiber gauges all around.
In sum, it’s a car that has been thought through, massaged over and customized to perfection, with few peers and no substitutes.

Diesel’s new DZ4160 watch (aka the Freak of Nature) is definitely an interesting take on the timepiece.
Can’t decide between leather and steel, gold and silver, or futuristic and simplistic? Easy, just go with all of the above and stop worrying about what’s on your wrist.
The split-faced hybrid watch is half of one watch and half of another, and it’s all been crammed together and combined to give you the best of both worlds.

The Porsche Cayman S Design Edition proved that the stunner from Stuttgart looks even better in tones of black, and apparently Porsche agreed, because they went on to create a Boxster S Design Edition, and now, a Cayenne GTS Design Edition.
The all black beauty gets special black striping on the doors and hood, along with 21-inch SportPlus wheels that are painted to match.
Inside, it’s plenty of carbon fiber and black leather to coddle and comfort the driver, and ‘Porsche Design Edition 3’ badging can be found both inside and out.
The big selling point however is that in addition to the SUV, buyers get Porsche Design accessories that match, including a chronograph watch and a four piece luggage set.
Not fond of black?
That’s just too damn bad.

Nothing lasts forever, but at least with the new Dr. Martens For Life boots and shoes, your footwear can last as long as you do.
Thanks to added weight and thickness in the inner core of the sole and a highly resistant and supple leather called Hardlife, the new For Life line comes with a lifetime guarantee, meaning when they eventually wear out, Dr. Martens will repair them, and will continue to repair them for the rest of your life – guaranteed.
