The Champion Hoodie Remix competition is a chance for you to show off your design talents and possibly win some fame and money in the process.
To start, you’re given the blank canvas of an all white hoodie, and you can then add colors and patterns to each area of the hoodie to make it your own.
Once you’re happy with the design, submit it to the gallery where others can vote to select their favorite, and the winner will receive $500, and their design will be produced by Champion.

With enough motivation (and time, money and beer), you can turn just about any car into the car of your dreams.
For Fourdin Auto Sport out of Belgium, that meant taking the 550hp, 7.0L LS7 V8 out of a Corvette Z06 and shoving it between the frame rails of a Chevy Matiz.
13 months and 1,500 man hours later, they ended up with the car you see before you, a pure-bred race car that will reach 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 162 mph. (For comparison, the stock Matiz takes 22 seconds to get to 60, and triple digit top speeds are out of the question without a long downhill road and a bit of a tail wind.)
Besides the engine, obvious modifications include a full roll cage, a SUPER wide-body kit, new suspension, wheels and tires, and a wing out back to keep the tail end planted on the track.
It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but when you dare to dream, the results of that dream can often come in the strangest of packages.

Michael Marcovici used to be eBay’s biggest powerseller, but after watching his multi-million dollar company go belly up in 2005, he decided to follow his true passion: Art.
Not content with just any art though, Marcovici’s art is some of the biggest (physically) in the world. One example of this is the piece he calls ‘One Billion Dollar’ which is, as you can guess, a billion dollars. The $100 bills (all 10 million of them) are stacked on 12 standard pallets, and is “not so much about what you see but what you could do or not do with the money”. In addition, Marcovici is proud to say that this “is the most expensive piece of art ever made’.
His second piece, called ‘Time Sand’, is a little more subtle, but no less impactful. It consists of 972 30Kg bags of Rolex Time Sand (the sand used in hourglasses) and since each bag takes about 30 days to flow through a standard hourglass, the goal is to represent a generous estimation of an average lifetime of 81 years.
