Incase unveiled their Combo Charger today, a charging device with two USB ports that allows you to get juice from either a standard wall outlet or a standard car power outlet. The device is $40 and comes in black and white. This seems like a nice and convenient way to carry around chargers for USB devices without having to worry about forgetting one over the other.

On November 11th in La Marque, Texas, Gilbert Harrison accidentally drove his Bugatti Veyron into a marsh after saying that he was distracted by a low flying bird and a dropped cell phone. The Bugatti Veyron is known to be one of the most expensive cars available on the market. Surely driving one into a marsh/lake is not a good thing.
A nearby driver caught the entire incident on film and you can see the Veyron plunging into the water in the video below.
And of course, here’s the salvaging effort.

Before Disney/Pixar’s Cars came along, there was this Disney short about Susie the little blue coupe. The story follows Susie as she goes from brand new car, to worn out junkyard scrap, to reconditioned sports car. [via]

Wow, I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a cake fashioned to look like a New York City MTA Subway car (an F train, too!). It’s not perfect, but it is kind of neat I think, so kudos to Dahlia’s Cakes for putting this together.

50 YEARS OF MINI from one pound pictures on Vimeo.
I’ve never driven a MINI before, but after watching this video, I’m convinced that sitting behind the wheel of one might just change my life. And if it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure I’d still like it.

According to BoingBoing, this out of control bus in Perm, Russia (tell me if I’m writing that wrong), nearly hits this man who is running across the crosswalk to make a light. Wow, this could have turned out so bad if everybody’s timing was just a bit off.
