I bought these cool molds to create these fun car shaped mashed potatoes (for my allergic son – severly allergic from eggs) & the fish shaped boiled egg for his brother. They loved it so much, they asked for two servings!

Water Powered Car


The ultimate eco-friendly car that runs on nothing but water. Not a specific type of water: it works on sea water, river water, and even tea! That is pretty amazing, but quiet scary for the Arabian Gulf states who are totally on oil income.

BMW’s IPad and Iphone Integration


We all know the Microsoft dominates the computer sales worldwide and that Nokia is the biggest phone retailer worldwide, but none of these retailers have the appeal that Mac does. Mac products impose themselves on all kinds of manufacturers from Louis Vuitton to BMW! I am not a big fan of BMW but I would like to get my car pimped up with my Mac gadgets like the 2011 BMW Models! These integration systems come factory installed and are a lot cheaper than the obsolete DVD players that BMW used to have!

How innovative, they produced their own car seat!

Ferrari Recalls Italia Cars


Now it was hard for me to accept Toyota and Lexus recalling cars, considering their quality control methods but to have Ferrari recall their cars that is unacceptable! People pay thousands of dollars for such a car and expect to get the best sport cars out there, not moving bombs!

The Italia cars run for around $260,000, which is about KD 85,000. The owners with the burnt cars will receive new models of the cars as a replacement. The current Italia owners sending their cars in will get them modified and shipped back to them. Ferrari claims the problem was traced back to adhesive used in the wheelarch assembly. (BBC)

Start Your Car From Anywhere In The World!


I have always imagined getting in my car in Kuwait during the heat in the summer and not having the car be too suffocating and hot! Well, now it seems like technology figured a solution for this!

Check out the Video:

So a bunch of you have seen Knight and Day, the movie with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, and some might even have wondered (just like I did) how the hell did Tom Cruise start his car with his Iphone! After watching the movie, I came back home and researched it only to find out that it is a simple app you install on you Iphone or Blackberry! How cool is that?

The Flying Car is Here!


In the Middle East, Gulf area to be specific, you can find thousands of Ferrari’s and Bentley’s but not one of them can fly! This flying car which costs around $200,000, the price of one of these fancy cars, is ready to take off in 2011 as there are 70 customers that paid a down payment to get their hands on one of these toys.

The Terrafugia is a small airplane that can transform from a car driving 65 miles an hour to a winged aircraft in a mere 30 seconds. It seems like we are on the verge of exploring the lives of The Jetsons and Back to the Future! The website is calling it “The Transition.” Below are the specifications listed on their website.

The Transition®

Every pilot faces uncertain weather, rising costs, and ground transportation hassles on each end of the flight. The Transition® combines the unique convenience of being able to fold its wings with the ability to drive on any surface road in a modern personal airplane platform. Stowing the wings for road use and deploying them for flight at the airport is activated from inside the cockpit. This unique functionality addresses head-on the issues faced by today’s Private and Sport Pilots.

Terrafugia’s award-winning MIT-trained engineers have been advancing the state-of-the-art in personal aircraft since 2006. Now you can streamline your flying experience with the revolutionary integration of personal land and air travel made possible by the Transition® Roadable Aircraft.
