Now that you know where to get one, make like this fellow and drive it like this guy did in this internet classic video way back in 1976. Nice twist at the end -it all suddenly makes sense, doesn't it?

More details on the film here. Comment about it.

Supposedly pictures don't do this car much justice - you've got to see one in person to really appreciate this supercar.   

The Enzo (named after the founder of Ferrari) was styled by Italian designer Pininfarina and comes in either red or yellow. It has a downward sloping nose with a rear spoiler that only pops up at speeds over 140mph. I've always wondered what a state trooper thinks when one cruises doing the normal speed limit with that rear spoiler up? (more...)

Tomorrow's date is 07-07-07 and this means casinos are going to be jam packed. Although we haven't started our posts proper on the winnable casino games (poker, craps & blackjack), here are a few tips to prevent you from being plucked like a spring chicken.

Caribbean Stud: You can never become the favorite at this game, 'nuff said. House edge is up to 5.3%. Pass! 

Roulette: This is as close to a slot machine as table games get. House Edge is 5.26%. Pass!

Slots: Why even bother? The house has a monster advantage here, up to 20% Pass! (more...)

In terms of price, that is. Meet the Samsung Upstage (Sprint). Then again with similar features and the ability to add a 2GB memory card - this might even be a better deal than the iPhone ($500). If you hurry now (promotion ends tomorrow 07/03!) you can get one for FREE (with a 2yr contract) plus a $50 rebate from Sprint while supplies last.

The Samsung Upstage is an ultra-thin, lightweight (2.6oz) phone, about the size of an ipod nano (1.73in w x 4.07in l x 0.37in thick). It's a single unit with 2 screens, one side for phone features the other side has a larger screen for entertainment. Add a 2 GB memory card to store hundreds of songs you can download straight to the phone.

There's Bluetooth, EV-DO, a 1.3-megapixel camera & music integration all in a very sexy and slim package. Watch more than 50 live TV channels with Sprint TV or stream music with Sirius or MTV. You can also download music wirelessly from Sprint at $.99 per song.
