I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to car stereos, but I know what I like and I like this! Flickr gallery poster, kaizokurisu, has put up a ton of photos of his awesome Super Mario Brothers themed subwoofer made for him by a friend.

We calculated what the internal volume of the enclosure was supposed to be for maximum performance and based on that made a box that had that volume but was also the size of 2 cubes side by side. Also the enclosure was built from scratch, but the Woofer is actually a 12" Shiva for those wondering. And yes, the sub sounds amazing in my car!

That is just straight up badass. I'll have two, please.

Apparently, during the filming of a Project Gotham Racing 4 commercial, the driver of this Ferrari F430 hits a patch of something (maybe stupidity) and drives straight into the safety wall. You can hear the pained groans of the watching crowd as the sickening scrape ensues. The best part is the voice of the camera man saying "I got it" right as the video ends, knowing he just filmed internet video game obsessed geek gold.
