T-shirt Who-Er

Shown: Exploded Boombox
Oddica
More awesome brand-less shirts. This time from Oddica. The prices are a few more bills than Ten Bills and a bit more jokeless than Threadless has been as of late.
1 for $20, 2 for $32, 3 $15 ea.
Update: Some of them are just as cheese ball as Threadless.

Nike + Stuff


Nike Amp - Josh Spear
Here's a kinda cool addition to the Nike+ line. I don't really wear watches and I use an iMojo wristband, but those weren't the case I would probably get this.
At its most basic, the Amp is just a watch; link it to a Nike equipped iPod Nano, and it becomes a full-on control station for your wrist. Integrated into the Amp are all the normal iPod controls that you’d find on your Nano. Press a button, and information scrolls visually across a series of otherwise hidden LED’s embedded just beneath the surface plastic above the controls.

10 points for the subey


2008 Forester Sports 2.5 XT
Motortrend did one of their Demon Tweaks on a 2006 Forrester with good results. Most, if not all, of these upgrades should be applicable. The Sports XT Forrester, off the lot, is about $28,800 after the addition of a short throw shifter, boost gauge, and a few other small additions.
Our debut guinea pig is a 2006 Subaru Forester 2.5XT Limited, a vehicle we’ve admired for its roomy interior and punchy, 224-hp turbocharged engine. Although that engine is the same one found in the barn-burning WRX, the Forester XT has a suspension that’s too soft for our tastes. The mission, therefore, was to sharpen the handling with different tires and a retuning of the suspension. More power is never a bad thing, so we also cranked up the engine by increasing the turbo boost via a reprogrammed engine computer.

Our three-stage sharpening of the Forester cost us $1745...


Power (SAE net):224 bhp @ 5600 rpm
Modified 250 bhp @5600 rpm

Torque (SAE net):226 lb-ft @ 3600 rpm
Modified 238 lb-ft @ 3400 rpm

She bought a red journal book, drilled a hole and put a red ribbon through it to signify a kiss. Then she passed it around to her artist friends. Go see some of what happened.

Quake shaking up Japanese car production

Quake forces Toyota to halt production - Yahoo! News: "The temporary closure of auto parts maker Riken Corp.'s plant at Kashiwazaki city, near the epicenter of Monday's magnitude 6.8 quake, has forced Toyota, Nissan Motor Co. Mitsubishi Motors Corp. and Fuji Heavy Industries to scale back production."
Fuji Heavy Industries makes Subaru. Damn! This'll probably hike prices up somehow.

Guess who's on top?
