There is nothing like painting your car in an outrageous color to really make it stand out from a crowd. Of course, if you are an owner of a Ferrari 458 Italia, it doesn’t take too much to stand out. We have seen quite a few cars in the recent past to get themselves a pink makeover, from this Pink Rolls Royce FAB1, to this Chrome Pink Range Rover Mystère or this Pink Mercedes SLS. In fact, pink luxury cars are becoming so popular, that makers should just consider offering the color in a limited edition themselves! The latest addition to the club is a very bright pink Ferrari 458 Italia which was spotted in the city of Zhengzhou in the Henan Province of China. Unlike some of the others, pink seems to suit this beauty of a car quite a bit. It manages to accentuate the feminine lines and curves to a most advantageous effect. The owner seems to have gone one step further in his/her makeover by giving the sexy car a sexier black grille, racy tires, incredible 5-spoke black alloys and red brake calipers.

There aren’t many things inspired by movies and comics that manage to do justice to the original from whence they were imagined. No one would have thought it is possible to create a Batman inspired vehicle that can actually convey the sheer force and ferocity of everyone’s favorite superhero. However, this incredible Batmobile Monster Truck gets it exactly right! The truck is officially licensed by DC Comics and has a replica of the Batmobile as the body. Of course, it has been around for a while, and has already competed in a few Monster Jam World Finals in its lifetime. Can’t you just see one of these in the actual movie! How exciting. It’s a shame we can’t all have one of these parked in the garage.

It doesn’t matter what kind of person you are before you are engaged – calm, cool, practical – everything changes as soon as that ring is on your finger. Brides are notoriously well known to become control freaks around their wedding. You want everything to be just perfect. However, if you are anything like me, it will be the really small things that matter. Like what car I leave in after I am married! This awesome couple from China did it exactly like I would like. This sweet couple in Shanghai used a very very pink Mercedes-Benz SLS as their wedding car. While details about the wedding, like who the couple are, what they do and what was the thought process behind this car, are still unavailable, we can say that we really really love it! I would get myself one of these in a jiffy; and not just for my wedding. Hint: There’s a Velentine’s Day gift hidden in the above words.

Well, if pigs can fly was a overused phrase, here is some shocking reality . Your most loved pets, the little dogs have accomplished which a lot of women cannot! They now drive! Yes, animal experts have managed to teach dogs how to drive – and let them loose on a racetrack. It took three canines just eight weeks to master the basics. These New Zealand experts first trained the dogs to drive a wooden cart and then graduated to a modified Mini in which they sat on their haunches in the driver’s seat and their paws on the steering wheel. Their feet go on extension levers, which are attached to the accelerator and the brake while their paw rests on the gearstick.

You have probably seen law enforcement personnel going about their duties on one of those adorable electric bikes, and wanted one for yourself. Now you can! The Police Officer’s Electric Chariot a.k.a the T3 Powersport is bringing its years of expertise with law enforcement to the consumer market. This green electric personal transport vehicle ensures that you are doing your bit for saving the environment. It can achieve the equivalent of over 400 miles per gallon of gasoline. To put it in perspective, it has an operating cost of less than a penny per mile. The zero emission “chariot” is 100% electric, and runs on two lithium batteries, which are capable of powering it for 25 miles. It has a zero-degree turning radius, allowing you to make the narrowest turns possible. Besides, the front-wheel drive and 10:1 gear ratio allow you to climb up to 22° inclines. It is capable of going at speeds of 5-, 8-, 10-, 12-, or 20-mph.
