Looking eerily similar to the Batmobile, the Veneno is built primarily out of carbon fiber and is festooned with spoilers and vents and a small little 750 HP 12 cylinder engine capable of rocketing it from 0-100km/h in 2.8 seconds.

The Veneno seen here is a prototype (chassis No. zero). The three “production” cars will wear red, green or white to celebrate Lamborghini’s Italian heritage. And if you’re curious about the name, the Veneno was a famous bull that killed a matador back in 1914 – something its trio of owners should note if they disable the traction control.

Let’s face it, there are always some builds that manage to stand out more than others…in a ‘sore thumb’ kind of way.

So I did a search today on ‘Star Wars’ vans…and lo and behold I found this beauty for sale on eBay.

Starting bid $9,000.00

The best part is the commentator knew what was going to happen.

Created by Charly Molinelli of Molinelli Designs, the crashed Ferrari was shaped so that it could fit inside the interior of a coffee table…and that’s the way you do it.

But seriously, that is pretty awesome. I’m now thinking of other things that can be “condensed” and be made into furniture.

It wasn’t bought with dollars…It was traded for a bunch of blankets infected with smallpox.

This massive Kinetic sculpture took Burden and a team of ten assistants four years to build, but sadly took Godzilla 1 hour to destroy.

Hot Wheels were never this cool when I was a kid.

After a sudden collision with a canyon sized crater of a pothole Claudia Ficca and Davide Luciano decided to channel their frustration into a positive project where the useless potholes would be a source of humor and creativity.

For some they are a nuisance, but for the folks at mypotholes.com, they are a work of art. You can check out the entire series here.

Believe it or not, the government is having a bit of a problem keeping up with the amount of money required to keep our highways from crumbling into dust, so in an all out guerrilla war tactic, the government is proposing the development of technology that would allow total vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to be tracked, reported and taxed.

The report added that not only will you get stuck with $3.50 (est) per gallon gas when you fill up, you will get jacked with the VMT tax.

“If VMT taxes were collected at the pump, each time fuel was purchased, information would be sent from a device in the vehicle to a device at the filling station.”

A type of mileage monitoring system would have to be worked out. AAA says it is currently reviewing the report, and it hasn’t yet taken an official stance.

“The bottom line is, there are a growing transportation demands and a growing need for revenue to fill those demands,” said Karen Morgan, an AAA Spokesperson. “This is just another option they’re looking at how to fund that transportation need.”

So let’s get this straight: First you are taxed on your income, then you are taxed on the purchase of a vehicle, then you pay a yearly fee to register that vehicle, add in the yearly fee to “test” the vehicle, you pay tax on the fuel for the vehicle and now they want to add on a new tax based on mileage? If the government is having cash flow problems perhaps a look at spending would be a better option instead of further taxation.
