Bernie's Favorite: New Fiat 500L has built in espresso machine

This is EXACTLY what I need. According to USA Today, Fiat has teamed up with the Lavazza to create “the first standard-production car in the world to offer a true espresso coffee machine”. The new Fiat 500L is a slightly larger four-door car that has intergated the espresso machine (with matching cups!!!), but it will be available without it as well.

The new Fiat 500L goes on sale in Italy first, of course, in October, then it'll make its way to the US in 2013. However, even though the new 500L is far more Italian than the Olive Garden, it will have a touch of America by adding the Beats by Dre sound system. You gotta love it.

P.S. Lavazza is the Italian version of Starbucks and Dr Dre must be filthy rich from the Beats by Dre empire.

Butler Tire Shows Off a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

Before I begin, life caught up with me and I didn't want to update my blog when I'm down and out. I tend to shut down, and I know that it's not always the best method. So I'm back and throwing myself into my blog...

The guys at Atlanta's Butler Tire released some shots of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti that they had the pleasure of working on. This particular 612 Scaglietti was outfitted with 22 inch Dub Technic Wheels which actually made the Ferrari stand out even more. Check this out...

Estevan Oriol does Gumball 3000 Rally

Frequent collaborator to Mister Cartoon, and respected photographer, Estevan Oriol had the pleasure of partaking in this years' Gumball Rally (so jealous). As any artistic talent would, he documented his weeklong journey. From New York to Los Angeles, he captured it all... well most of it. Check it out to figure out why he couldn't make it to one of the stops...




I wasn't kidding when I said that I was jealous. But I also know that my time will come. Patience is a very hard quality to possess.

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: Street Whipz and Dreamteam Customz Car and Bike Show

Last Sunday was the first annual Street Whipz and Dreamteam Custom Car and Bike Show in Atlanta. It wasn't the first time Street Whipz put on a show. At first they were known as GA Toyz, but some of the guys disbanded and now the remaining guys are known as Street Whipz.  Luckily they haven't lost their touch on how to put on a car show.



I  had a lot of fun. Most of the show was filled with cars that I've never seen before (which is always a good thing). But I had to move fast while at this show because of the heat. I've said it plenty of times, I'm not built for the heat. Yes it does get hot in New York, but the beauty of it is that when it thunders, it cools things down for DAYS, but in the south, it cools things down for minutes, or if you're lucky, hours. And Bernie can't handle it. I don't need to blackout at a car show... again.



Anyway, enough of my tales of "Things I hate about the South", here's some photos...
