From Jalopnik: Lincoln Mark VIII Rolling Door Concept
Found On EBay: The 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII Rolling Door Concept Car Hides Your Heavy Doors – Jalopnik
Now just hold on here… a door that goes under the car? You know, I haven’t seen anything like that in car magazines or places where you can get customizations. I haven’t seen it in Plush magazine or DUB… but here it is. On Jalopnik you get the video of the car doing its thing (with sound!!!).
I originally found this on Digg (lots of comments over there about this). On Jalopnik, some (most from my last count) seem t totally diss the idea and the car AND the car maker. But not all:
junkman says:
@danio3834-You’re absolutely right about the Mark VIII in its day. I had a prototype that Ford had built to set a stock class land speed record at Bonneville. It ran 187+mph with relatively minor but highly trick modifications. The record stood for nearly seven years.
Yes… this idea stirred up the hornet’s nest. I like it, but not store bought. It would have to be something you put on later if you wanted or as an option at the dealer.
Mad easy to get into this car though… and everybody can see your fresh pair of kicks and your 210 pair of pants.
From Eastbay: The North Face Men’s E50 Boa
The North Face Men’s E50 Boa – Spackle Grey/Yellow
Cost: $124
Sizes 8-14 (no 12′s)
Nothing spectacular fashion wise… I just didn’t realize that North Face had a sneaker… and that it was so expensive. This style is for trail (it looks like all of them are for trail… except those flip flops… 25 dollars, not bad) and comes in different colors. Here is the site description:
The North Face E50 Boa trail running shoe adds stability and durability under a variety of weather conditions and temperatures. Abrasion-resistant bomber synthetic nubuck upper with highly breathable and protective sandwich mesh. Boa Multi adjust lacing system. TPU Injection Saddle offers optimal lateral and medial stability and support. Directional heel lining panel helps prevent heel slip. Northotic™ ergonomically designed footbed with Poron forefoot and heel inserts and AgION® antimicrobial footbed covering. Ultra lightweight IMEVA midsole combined with the X-2 polymer dampening compounds provides high impact cushioning and long lasting support. Rear foot compression cage provides mechanical assist to midsole components and neutral guidance for mild pronators. Proprietary TNF outsole with Tenacious Grip rubber compound provides excellent traction both on and off road. Wt. 12.7 oz.
This is just interesting to me. I wonder who is helping them make the sneak.. looks like a New Balance type of sneaker, but then again it could be Asics. Mizuno maybe? At any rate check out their different styles on sneakers.

While this story has been out for a while (a while meaning almost 2 weeks), I figured I say something about it. I like the idea, but I am not too sure about the execution of it. Maybe its ok.. its following the retro style everyone is into I guess I want more. I like these better though.
I love Wu-Tang. I think they are the bet groups out if not the best. Plus, its true Hip Hop originality, stories, life and even dreams. Think about it… who else would have come up with the story of C.R.E.A.M.? Everybody wants it, you end up with more problems with it, and it corrupts people. Who else would say get that money but be warned.
I think the Wu logo should be bigger… its the best Hip Hop group logo I have even seen and it works in so many ways its not even funny. I still don’t understand why Wu-Wear didn’t work… maybe the name, but it wasn’t the logo.
Drjays.com Super Sale – Evisu – UDON III HI-TOP CANVAS
Drjays.com – Evisu – UDON III HI-TOP CANVAS – Urban Hip Hop Clothing
Original Price: $120
Super Sale price: 52 dollars!!!
Sizes 7-10 are left… maybe if you go to a store, you might find more sizes.
This is a pure buy. Maybe even a collectible do to its styling and exclusiveness. I can bet that not many people are buying this to just keep in the closet, so if you keep it as a collectible, you are most likely the only one who has it for your entire region.
The color highlights are real nice and the detail is great. The double take some might give you when they realize those are not Converse’s… priceless. And yes I love the tread of this sneaker. Its just smooth all around.
They don’t have my size though… what’s up with that?

HOW THE HECK DID I MISS THIS??? While the sneaker, to me, doesn’t look that great (unlike the Air Max 97/360 combos), its still something you just want to get. I haven’t browsed any of the sneaker head sites yet so I don’t know if they even talked about this… I saw this from my featured Flickr Feed (currently featured is Sneaker Pimps)

Wow man!!! I’m impressed. I don’t like them and I am still impressed. I’ll search for a link to this… in the mean time, check this out.
By the way, the image is nice wallpaper size, so if you want to, you can put this on your phone, computer or laptop as a wall. Now who is looking out for you?

New Video: B5 – “Hydrolics” « A Hot Mess!
Now you have to know why this is here. No, no one seems to be wearing the most interesting and hottest sneakers out right now that no one seems to be talking about… its because cars are in it. yeah, I know I said that I will be focusing more on fashion and sneakers, but I really do think I will continue posting car news and cool wheel shots.
I mean, lets face it, you going for the whole look, right? Shoes on your feet, shoes on you whip. Now where did I put my Sprewell spinners at?
