A sunny forecast, a full tank of gasoline, enthusiasm for the star-studded "line up" on the last day of the Fresh Island festival, a relaxed holiday atmosphere of three friends, what could possibly go wrong? My festival experience was fun and interesting and anything but predictable. A reliable companion by the name of Renault Captur stood by my side the whole way.
Backwards Drag Racing is an unusual competition that recently took place at Beech Ridge Raceway in the US state of Maine. The video is not flipped backwards, because it is reverse car racing, which is a relatively new sport. Backwards Drag Racing is kind of an American staple, and like most American motorsports, it only gets interesting when something goes wrong.

BMW is no stranger to motorcycle concepts. The BMW Titan motorcycle is a futuristic motorcycle concept conceived by Mehmet Doruk Erdem and not built in Batman's lair but BMW's factory, although it looks like it was commissioned for Batman.

During the years of the flower-power movement and Woodstock, the legendary Bulli (Volkswagen Type 2) became popular with hippies and is still considered a symbol of peace and free life. Like sleep in a way. But if our grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers and fathers once traveled halfway around the world in Bulli and often slept in it, today's children can do the same. But not in some restored Bulli, but in the Bulli bed of the Circu company, Bun Van, which is a replica of this now 66-year-old car. Instead of Woodstock, this Bulli will take them to the land of Nija.

In 2000, Adidas and basketball player Kobe Bryant presented sneakers based on the Audi TT model, but they did not meet with an overly good response. Puma, on the other hand, created a much more pleasing design inspired by the GINA Light Visionary Model concept car that BMW introduced in 2008. It was the first ever shape-shifting car wrapped in fabric.
