THE SUPERCARS POST....

the pagani cinque roadster ($1.8 mil for that ass)

Thos carbon fiber/titanium Roadster is expected to run to about 217 mph thanks to its 678 horsepower Mercedes-Benz/AMG V12 – a terminal velocity that's the same as its hard-hatted brethren. Because the fixed-head coupe's structure is so robust, Pagani hasn't gone crazy with buttresses and braces, meaning that like the Coupe, the Roadster weighs 1210 kg (2,662 pounds) – a figure that Pagani says should help get the car to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds.


German manufacturing present the Gumbert Apollo Speed which can be customized to have an 800 HP engine (well damn...)


the Tramontana F1 all done up like a fighter plane EWWWWYYYYUCCK!

SNEAKER AFICIONADO TV- 1st SOLE ADDICTION INTERVIEW...

Ok ladies and gentlemen here it is... the first installment of Sneaker Aficionado TV aka S.A. TV. So the brief story behind this interview was I met Aj Tai one of the two brothers that helped open up Sole Addiction in Morton Grove, Il (Just north of Chi-Town) and we started to talk. Long story short 5 days later we shot this interview in University Cafe in downtown Fredericksburg. Please excuse the fact the my little Sony point and shoot couldnt be edited in any movie software. So I had to post two clips... Clip 1 is the introduction, clip 2, which had to be linked via youtube because of file size, is the interview. The background noise is a bit annoying but bear with me and the team while we work out the kinks. Oh and yes, you can definitely expect a second interview at their shop in Chicago.

THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
