DREAM GARAGE: Mercedes Benz Sprinter

DREAM GARAGE: Mercedes Benz Sprinter

Nice van. Not words that you usually hear paired in a sentence. It’s like ‘genius supermodel’, or ‘honest politician’, it just doesn’t work.
Mercedes Benz is known as a purveyor of delicious automobile candy here in the states. But beyond our borders, they are known also for making super-compact cars, trucks (as in [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Project Kahn Aston Martin Vanquish

I know that some people out there might disagree, but I think that the Aston Martin Vanquish is and always will be one of the most beautiful cars built.  Ever.
The folks at Kahn Designs found a way to make it even more beautiful that the original by creating a slew of add-ons and parts which, [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder

We first saw this car in person at the L.A. Auto Show a few months back and named it the “Belle of the Ball” because it was the only supercar showstopper (for us at least).
Incredibly beautiful and incredible unique, this car will make anyone stop, gawk, drool and hate their financial status because they can’t [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Dodge Tomahawk

I know this is like, 7 years late, but the Dodge Tomahawk concept motorcycle still doesn’t fail to capture my imagination when it comes to crazy ass ideas.
Imagine what the conversation was like during the first meeting:
Designer: “I have an idea, but it’s a little crazy.”
Corporate Businessman: “Crazy is good.  It’s a concept car.”
Designer: “Well… [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Vyrus 985

Thanks to the folks over at uncrate.com, I think I’ve found my next motorcycle to put into the dream garage – the Vyrus 985.
“750 parts to make the lightest motorcycle in the world” – some philosophical words from Ascanio Rodorigo, a Project Manager for Vyrus Motorcycles.  Their belief is that their company is more like [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Aston Martin Rapide

Don’t you hate it when you go to a club, meet and party with 3 super hot Victoria’s Secret models, and as you are telling the valet at the end of the night to go get your car, realize that you brought your Aston Martin DBS which only comfortably fits 2 people?
It’s such a terrible inconvenience.
So much of [...]

DREAM GARAGE: WHY 58×38 by Wally Hermes Yachts

I love picking up the Robb Report and finding things that are so amazing that you hardly can believe they exist.  Well, the WHY 58×38 from Wally Yachts doesn’t exist – yet, but is in the process of being built as a collaboration between Hermes and Wally Yachts.
The WHY 58×38 is a 190 foot long [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Bentley Continental Supersports

Despite the 6-figure price tag, the Bentley Continental GT has never made our Dream Garage segment simply because – well – they seem pretty pedestrian out here in L.A.  A crazy thought, I know, but hey why have a car in a dream garage that you see all the time?
So what makes this particular Bentley [...]

DREAM GARAGE: Pagani Zonda R

DREAM GARAGE: Pagani Zonda R

Sometimes I have to think to myself, why wasn’t I born of nobility with a $3 billion inheritance?  Probably because with great power comes great responsibility and with that much kwan, I wouldn’t be too responsible.
In fact, I would probably be one of the first people to purchase the Pagani Zonda R, the last edition [...]

DREAM GARAGE: BMW S1000RR

I never thought I would see the day when I would put a BMW motorcycle in my dream garage.  As you can see, BMW motorcycles have never quite peaked my interest partly because of design, partly because I never liked the way the engine stuck out on both sides and partly because I could never [...]
