Katie Price makes a tacky pink palace on wheels
Katie Price isn't the icon of good taste or sophistication, so when she comes up with something outrageous or tacky, I hardly raise an eyebrow. However, this new pink horse box is really something else. It reminds of a cute little Barbie toy car that has ballooned up into something quite big and ugly. It is shocking pink mobile palace for this glamor princess which features her silver tiara insignia. She took this giant pink toy ride for a test drive today and she looked anything but happy. Is the truck not pink enough? Anyway, I'm not looking to bump into this glittery vehicle on the road. I suppose one had to expect this to be sickeningly pink and girly as she is famous for designing and selling equestrian clothes in the same shade.
BMW 7-Series' Gentle Function to help you be chivalrous
BMW's new 7-Series' Gentleman Function is attracting loads of attention. What is it, you ask? Nothing ultra amazing except for the fact that it allows you to adjust the passenger seat from the center control stack. To go into the details, it is an option in the iDrive directory under front seats which allows the driver to take control of the passenger side front seat. So I guess, it's convenient, but not absolutely necessary. I guess when the driver is driving, this is the easiest way to control the other seat without any discomfort or distraction. I like the more traditional 'Gentleman Function' which allows the men to hold the door open for woman. This is too much of a gimmick and I'm not sure BMW needs to go that way.
Cup holder Mounted Laptop Tray: Hot or not?
Lodging Laptops and gadgets in the car is as normal as taking a walk. Okay, these two can’t be compared, but the basic point that I’m trying to convey is that the use of laptops is inevitable, not that we encourage you to use it while commuting. Vehicles, these days are office-goers’ prime mobile offices, so it’s important that the workplace be made as comfortable as it can be, in a meager budget. Designer Mike Davis has created an in-vehicle laptop tray for his pick up truck for one tenth the cost of the high-end, commercial laptop trays.
Pac-Man and Space Invaders decorate the Mini Cooper
How I love the Mini Cooper and old school gaming. I'm so thankful to the Portland-based artist Matt W Moore who has brought together both of these. I can't express the joy I feel when I see Space Invaders and Pac-Man painted on a Cooper. It totally brings out my nerdy side. Check out the images to get a little nostalgic over your childhood! The Mini Coopers look so cute.

Super Universal Car Mount conveniently holds up three gadgets at once
This suction-cup mounted gizmo holder looks more like a candle stand than anything. However, it is quite convenient to have in your car, at least if you are a gadgets enthusiast and need them around you at all times. You can get it to hold multiple mobile phones or MP3 players or GPS or anything else you can think of. I don't know if it will hold your gizmos in place if you hit a bump, but it's a worth a shot. Just don't get too distracted by them while you are driving, safety comes first. The Super Universal Car Mount is available for $30 at USBFever.

This year's Life Ball to raffle off the Pink Panther MINI
It's great when fashion and music and cars come together. It is a rare sighting, but that is just what has happened with the newest and most unique MINI cabrio prepared for Life Ball 2009. We know that the MINI has taken part in the premier European AIDS fundraiser for the last nine years and this year is no different. This year the chosen designer for making a cute little retromobile is none other than the Hollywood fashion icons The Blonds. They are known for being a hit with pop stars. This leopard print MINI is something between an eye sore and a fun playful mobile, but it definitely doesn't draw inspiration from Pink Panther. In fact, Katy Perry is the one who has inspired this pink flirty design. She will perform at the gala in Vienna on May 16 and this is where the car will be raffled off to raise money for fighting AIDS. I'm not sure how much I like the pink leopard print design of the car, but I certainly support the cause.

Zigo Leader Carrier Bicycle: A parent powered transport
One look at the Zigo Leader Carrier Bicycle left me dumbstruck for quite some time. Promising to be the first of its kind family powered transportation system, this bicycle allows you to place one or two children in the ChildPod as you peddle away. And if you wish to go solo, the LeaderLink System allows the Leader to uncouple in 30 seconds or less, transforming it into the separate elements, Zigo ChildPod and Zigo Cycle. There is also a unique third mode called the Zigo Stroller mode that disconnects the Zigo Cycle from the ChildPod, converting your Zigo Leader into a fully functional, independent stroller.
