What’s the most incredible or unusual thing you might find in your backyard? Say you pick up a metal detector and find an old coin, or perhaps comes across an arrowhead. That’s all well and good, but nothing even comes close to what two California boys found in 1978.
Because these kids found a Ferrari !
This is the front yard in a Los Angeles neighborhood where the vehicular treasure was discovered in early February of 1978.
A new family had just moved into the house when their two boys struck gold. The family called the authorities, and an excavation began. It turned out that the car was actually an insanely valuable 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS.
The car had been poorly mummified with towels and cloths. It was obvious that someone wanted to come back for it. But who? And why did they bury it?

Guy Builds Epic $17 Million Dollar Bunker Which Can Withstand 20-Kiloton Explosion
#1 $17 Million Dollar Bunker
This bunker occupies 4200 square feet in the beautiful Montezuma County, located in Colorado. From the outside it looks like any other house, albeit the massive tower behind it.#2 Inside
The interior is cozy and normal looking as well.#3 Metal Vents
Normal ends when you notice that the ceiling has metal vents that work to prevent contamination if a nuclear attack were to occur.#4 Steel Walls
And, even Superman might have trouble breaking into this house, since it's walls are made of steel.#5 Power Systems
The house has four separate power systems, in the event of an attack that leaves us powerless in every way.#6 Water
In a nuclear attack, or any other apocalypse on earth, the water would become contaminated. The house is prepared for that with a seven stage water filtration system.#7 Secluded
There's lots of land surrounding this epic house, and if you don't have $17 million dollars to buy it, you can rent it for $19,500 a month.Sunday, November 8, 2015

6 Drivers You Don't Want To Share The Road With
When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders.
1. It didn't take this drunk driver long to learn the meaning of "instant karma."
2. This person is going 75 miles per hour.
Also, just in case the picture seems hypocritical, the photographer is in the back seat.
3. This isn't an abandoned van, the driver's seat is apparently clear.
How anyone can stand driving this, I'll never know. And it's dangerous because they can't see through any of the mirrors.
4. Apparently, this drunk driver ran over some guy-wires.
And then, this happened.

Bugatti Gangloff Concept
Today we want to show you amazing concept car created by Polish designer Paweł Czyżewski. The Bugatti Gangloff Concept is a design study of a sleek supercar inspired by the 1938 Type 57 SC Atalante Coupe one-off. The name Gangloff is from the French coach-builder that created the Type 57 SC Atalante. As you can see from features like the size air intakes and the horsehoe grille, the car also brings in cues from the Veyron. “In times of commercial trash and plastic it is hard to see something that has a soul and is able to squeeze out a positive mark on the heart,” Czyzewski said about the car.

2012 Chrysler 300 Luxury Edition with a V6 Engine
The Chrysler 300 has been among us for some time now, with different options available and engines ranging from 2-liter 4 cylinders to the luxurious 300C powered by a 363 HP 5.7-liter Hemi V8. They’re now introducing a new version of their Luxury Edition, a V6 powered 300.
The car is propelled by the 292 HP 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that powers its regular sibling, connected to a 8-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive and optionally 4×4. Just like its bigger brother, it boasts a full-leather interior and a bunch of luxurious extras throughout.
Mainly, the V6’s interior is pretty similar to the Hemi version of the 300 Luxury Edition, with extravagant leather treatment for the central console, dashboard, armrest, steering wheel and door panels, plus lovely two-tone Mocachino or black seats, beautifully covered in Nappa leather, featuring double-mode ventilation, double-mode heat-system for both front and rear occupants and 12-way power adjustable front seats.
Apart from all these lavish leather use, we also need to mention the infotainment system with 8.4-inch LCD touchscreen and navigation system, power-adjustable steering wheel, pedals and column, dual heated/cooled cup holders, ambient lit foot well lighting, LED-illuminated instrument cluster with driver-selectable colors and interior door handles, front and rear map pockets, premium carpeted trunk mat, die-cast paddle shifters, natural Pore Mocha wood trim in matte finish and chrome door sills.
The exterior of the car boasts exterior mirror caps and door handles with platinum chrome fascia accents and 19-inch (4×4) or 20-inch polished-face (rear-wheel drive) alloy wheels. The sales of both the V6 and the Hemi V8 will start during February 2012 with manufacturer-suggested retail price of between $40,145 and $45,245, allowing us to say this is a true bargain.

Milan Abarth Supercar
It was unveiled last week in Monaco, and while it may have some influences in its design, mainly from older racing cars, it is, dare we say it, unique. However, if its racecar-esque looks don`t win you over, its proposed power figure definitely will, as the Milan Abarth is said to be available with power outputs ranging from 600 hp, all the way up to 1,700 hp.
Also, thanks to its very low curb weight of just over one tonne, if it has the right tires and gearing, it could sprint to 100 km/h or 62 mph in around two seconds (that could mean both under and over the specified value). Set to cost from €300,000, the car will be unveiled with official formalities in February of next year.

Vision SZR
The brand new supercar Vision SZR, that took part in the series “Done in 60 seconds”, will be equipped with a 6 liter V12 engine that produces 700 HP. A different version will also be produced, for the emptier pockets, powered by a 620 HP 6.2 liter V8, according to the upper-mentioned show.
The heaviest configuration will barely go above 1300 kg, given the fact that it is well-covered in carbon fiber and aluminum. This also ensures acceleration from naught to 100 kph in less than 4 seconds. John Misumi, the chief operating engineer, thinks of it as a muscle car for the 21st century. The development process started in the middle 1990s, with a redesigning in 2005.
Two reasons make this car undesirable to many: first – there is only one Vision SZR in the world, with a production cost of around $2 million and second – its design, resembling the 1990 Chevy Corvette CERV III concept car, in a twisted way.

ABT Sportline Audi R8 Spyder GTS
Abt Sportline is a pretty capable and successful tuner that specializes in Audi products that has dropped out of public view recently.In hoping to get back in the game they came to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with a tuned version of the Ingolstadt’s flagship Audi R8 V10 Spyder.Called the ABT R8 GTS, the German mid engined supercar gained a considerable performance upgrade which takes it up to 620 horsepower.
It’s a rare combination to get. Also, the 19 or 20 inch custom ABT wheels painted the same two tone red and black finish do help with the looks.I’m not sure the Abt Sportline brand is now saved but their version of the Audi R8 V10 Spyder is definitely an impressive looking machine.
