The Dirtiest Corvette Ever. Corvettes are dirty cars. I don’t care how many times they go to Le. Mans with the Z0. Corvette will always remind me of Dirk Diggler, the 1.

Even the new ones. Most owners I know embrace their heritage rocking excellent vintage mustaches and jewelry. They learned at an early age that gold goes well with a Corvette. I learned this as a kid too. I also learned that you never button your top three buttons when in the presence of a Corvette.

You can’t let it know that you’re not cool. Watch A Screaming Man Online (2017). But this Corvette is different. It’s like someone shrank it into a little Miata and then turned it into a dune buggy!

This is Brian Ballinger and Chris Smiths’s build for the next Gambler 5. Before we get into how great this is, lets get one thing out of the way.

This is my least favorite Corvette model. It’s the one Barbie drove. It’s the Corvette most likely to enjoy the latest Michael Bolton album with its owner. Yet Brian turned it into heavy metal. You see this pull up and you pray he’s not here to pick up your daughter. No way Barbie would drive this.

This is awesome. I actually don’t know that much about Corvettes but I can only assume that the factory gas tank was somewhere near the rear bumper and all the stuff that Brian cut off. Watch Stay Cool 4Shared on this page. I assume that’s why there is now a giant fuel cell dominating the back of the car. I also can’t help but see the desert racing dune buggy like stucture that’s been hiding under all that sports car.

The Zebra Finches have been a most popular cage bird for over 100 years! They originated in Australia and belong to the Estrildidea family. In the wild, these are.

Amazing what a set of 3. Corvette. The mustache and mullet completes the look though. Brian and Chris call their creation the “Van Damme Vette” and it reminds me so much of my Baja Pig! The really cool part about their build is that its still on the factory suspension.

They just cut away the bodywork instead of putting the wheels outside of it. Brian’s entering it in the Detroit Gambler next Spring and you can follow the build on Brian Ballinger’s and Chris Smith’s Facebook page. Maybe I should build a V8 powered Corvette? I asked why he started with the Corvette and “Free” was the answer. Watch Luther Online (2017). Oh, and with the one condition that we race it!” This is how the best racing stories start. I naturally suggested he cage it and run in the Baja 1. Brian’s response was, “It’s on my bucket list.”.

The Fitbit Ionic Might Be the Smartwatch That Unseats Apple. After months of leaks and hints, Fibit has finally revealed its newest wrist wearable: The $3. Fitbit Ionic. Fitbit claims up to four days of battery life, a refined OS that pairs nicely with devices running i. OS, Android, and Windows, and a brand new sensor for tracking your heart rate. This smartwatch, which visually calls to mind the lovechild of an Apple Watch and a Fitbit Surge, is a natural progression for the huge wearable company.

Just last year, it snapped up notable smartwatch makers Pebble and Vector for a reported $3. And between the almost- perfect Surge and the incredibly unattractive Blaze, Fitbit has been interested in the smartwatch sector of the wearable market for a while. This is the culmination of that interest. It’s profoundly ugly—like every Fitbit that’s come before, but it could be technologically cool enough that you might not care. A smartwatch, even an unattractive one, makes sense for Fitbit right now. According to IDC, Fitbit’s market share plummeted over the last year leading the former number one wearable brand to drop to third place in market share behind Apple and Chinese tech titan Xiaomi.

While you won’t find a Xiaomi fitness tracker or smartwatch on many wrists in America, you will find the Apple Watch. Here in New York, I see a few on wrists every single day as I commute into work. Yet, while Fitbit has seen its marketshare shrink, the company still claims to have over 5. It’s down, but not out, and clearly hopes that the Ionic will help turn things around. When it comes to style it can’t hope to beat Google and its myriad of partners in the fashion world. It’s big bezel and sharp angles can’t even beat the gentle curves of an Apple Watch. The Apple Watch, by virtue of being Apple- made, is something of a fashion accessory now.

The Ionic will likely be too big and square to accomplish the same feat. So one way Fitbit is hoping to distinguish itself is by focusing on what it does best: Fitness. To that end. Fitbit claims it’s built an incredible accurate new heartrate sensor. The current Fitbits use its Pure. Pulse system which is an optical heartrate sensor using green lights that rapidly flash across the skin allowing and sensor to detect the pulse of a person’s blood flow. This is the de facto method for detecting the heartrate on the wrist. With the Ionic, Fitbit is introduces a new “triwave color sensor” that uses a combination of red, green, and infrared lights to detect bloodflow.

How well it detects it, and whether it is more accurate than previous Fitbit devices or the Apple Watch remains to be seen. For the fitness focused, the Ionic is also water resistant up to 5. GPS, has swappable bands so you don’t have to look like a gym goober all day, and can automatically detect when you exercise and when you stop exercising—useful if you jog with a dog. And with a claimed four days of battery life, it could certainly do that. Battery life has long been one of the things holding smartwatches back from more widespread adoption. They can handle a day of constant use, but generally crap out early into day two.

Meanwhile, the Ionic loaner Fitbit provided us on Thursday, which is running an early build of the software and nowhere near representative of the final product, was at 5. That’s more than three days of wear, whilst constantly checking my heart rate, and more importantly, polling my phone for notifications. Over the last few years, Fitbit has gotten pretty good at delivering notifications to your wrist, but it’s just not as good at it as wristables running watch. OS or Android Wear. The Ionic could, potentially, change that.

It allows for call, text, and calendar notifications. Theoretically, it can handle notifications from other apps as well, and I managed to get it to work with three of the other apps on my phone.

Besides notifications (and the option for different watch faces) another big smartwatch must the Ionic has is an NFC chip for cardless payments at retailers. At launch it is expected to work with Mastercard, Visa, and American Express—though Fitbit insists its working with banks for better interoperability.

But the best smartwatch feature coming to a Fitbit device are apps. Fitbit is going to launch a gallery where developers can add their own apps and watch faces for anyone to download. Apps will be subject to a review process and coded using Javascript and SVR. They’re expected to be designed in Fitbit Studio, a new web- based tool, similar to the one the defunct Pebble used to rapidly build a library of apps. In fact Tomas Sarlandie, Fitbit’s Software Engineering Director, told journalists at a recent briefing that Studio had already been seeded to select former Pebble developers in the hopes that they’d develop for the new Fitbit OS platform. And Fitbit had better cross its fingers they do, because at launch there will be exactly four non- Fitbit apps available on the Ionic: a Starbucks, Accuweather, cycling app Strava, and Pandora.

Those are meager options, but the Pandora one could be nifty, as it will allow you to take Pandora offline and onto the watch’s 2. GB of storage space (provided you have a Plus or Premium Pandora account).

There’s no Spotify, or Google or Apple Music, so if you don’t want to listen to Pandora you’ll need to side load your own music. All of it will play via Bluetooth headphones, including the pair Fitbit itself is launching around the same time.

The Fitbit Flyer are wireless Bluetooth headphones that Fitbit claims have six hours of playtime in them, compatibility with all available digital assistants, audio prompts for connectivity and battery life, and a small selection of wings, tips, and fins to help you find a better fit. The Fitbit Flyer wireless earbuds will retail for $1.

Fitbit Ionic will retail for a whopping $3. That’s not a super competitive price, but it’s cheaper than the better looking watches on Android Wear and priced the same as the super successful Apple Watch—which is rumored to have its own update coming in September. The Fitbit Ionic starts shipping in October 2.
