Two Boys Were Digging In The Yard When They Uncovered THIS. But That’s Only Half The Story. -...

What’s the most incredible or unusual thing you might find in your backyard? Say you pick up a metal detector and find an old coin, or perhaps comes across an arrowhead. That’s all well and good, but nothing even comes close to what two California boys found in 1978.

Because these kids found a Ferrari !

This is the front yard in a Los Angeles neighborhood where the vehicular treasure was discovered in early February of 1978.

A new family had just moved into the house when their two boys struck gold. The family called the authorities, and an excavation began. It turned out that the car was actually an insanely valuable 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS.

The car had been poorly mummified with towels and cloths. It was obvious that someone wanted to come back for it. But who? And why did they bury it?

After an investigation by the police, the nefarious reason as to why it was down there was discovered.

The previous owners hired criminals to drive the car into the ocean so they could claim the insurance money. But those thieves hid the car in the ground in hopes of coming back for it.

With the mystery solved and the car making headlines all over the nation, it was auctioned off to the highest bidder. A mechanic with his own shop bought it and restored it.

The gorgeous car was like new again, except this Ferrari had a story unlike any other.

In addition to entering the buried Ferrari in car shows, the new owner put a vanity plate on it that read “Dug Up.”

Not a bad thing to find just lying right under your front yard.

Well, that doesn’t happen everyday. What a story.

5 Awesome & Crazy Bike Mods (Photo Gallery)

Most people have seen tandem (two-seater) bikes, penny farthing (old-timey) bikes, and even tall bikes (exactly what they sound like), but these crazy bike mods make those tried-and-true models look downright boring.

1 The Dino Trike

Who wants to wrangle a dinosaur without having to head to Jurassic Park? Check out this awesome T-Rex trike that was recently for sale on Craigslist. The rider can even make the old bag of bones open her mouth and turn her head.  (Source)


2 Bison Bike

Whether you love the bison of the American West, or you just miss the shag carpeting of the '70s, we're pretty sure you'll love this bison bike spotted in Copenhagen. I sure hope they keep it out of the rain, or it might just start smelling like a real bison.(Source)

3 Camper Bike

Plenty of people bike through the wilderness and camp out in tents. However, full-size camping trailers have been reserved for those using automobiles. Artist Kevin Cyr's camper bike finally gives cyclists the freedom to travel with a proper bed, kitchen, and entertainment center.(Source)

4 Game Controller Handlebars

Looking for a way to get gamers outside? Try making a bike with a controller in place of the handlebars. Sure, the buttons won't do anything, but maybe just having something familiar in their hands will be enough to keep people off the console and in the sunshine.  (Source)

5 Shoe Cycle

This crazy bike uses a series of shoes attached to sturdy spokes to simulate walking without ever putting your feet on the ground. This clever creation also appeared at a Tour de Fat bike festival in San Francisco in 2008.(Source)

6 Drivers You Don't Want To Share The Road With

When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders.

1. It didn't take this drunk driver long to learn the meaning of "instant karma."

via reddit / t_11

2. This person is going 75 miles per hour.

Also, just in case the picture seems hypocritical, the photographer is in the back seat.

via reddit / [deleted]

3. This isn't an abandoned van, the driver's seat is apparently clear.

How anyone can stand driving this, I'll never know. And it's dangerous because they can't see through any of the mirrors.

via reddit / tli3

4. Apparently, this drunk driver ran over some guy-wires.

And then, this happened.

5. It's hard to tell what the thought process was here.

I guess they wanted to see where that ramp went.

6. It sucks that he's late for his clown gig, but that doesn't excuse this.

This isn't the right way to multitask.

Bugatti Gangloff Concept

The Chrysler 300 has been among us for some time now, with different options available and engines ranging from 2-liter 4 cylinders to the luxurious 300C powered by a 363 HP 5.7-liter Hemi V8. They’re now introducing a new version of their Luxury Edition, a V6 powered 300.

The car is propelled by the 292 HP 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that powers its regular sibling, connected to a 8-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive and optionally 4×4. Just like its bigger brother, it boasts a full-leather interior and a bunch of luxurious extras throughout.
Mainly, the V6’s interior is pretty similar to the Hemi version of the 300 Luxury Edition, with extravagant leather treatment for the central console, dashboard, armrest, steering wheel and door panels, plus lovely two-tone Mocachino or black seats, beautifully covered in Nappa leather, featuring double-mode ventilation, double-mode heat-system for both front and rear occupants and 12-way power adjustable front seats.

Apart from all these lavish leather use, we also need to mention the infotainment system with 8.4-inch LCD touchscreen and navigation system, power-adjustable steering wheel, pedals and column, dual heated/cooled cup holders, ambient lit foot well lighting, LED-illuminated instrument cluster with driver-selectable colors and interior door handles, front and rear map pockets, premium carpeted trunk mat, die-cast paddle shifters, natural Pore Mocha wood trim in matte finish and chrome door sills.

The exterior of the car boasts exterior mirror caps and door handles with platinum chrome fascia accents and 19-inch (4×4) or 20-inch polished-face (rear-wheel drive) alloy wheels. The sales of both the V6 and the Hemi V8 will start during February 2012 with manufacturer-suggested retail price of between $40,145 and $45,245, allowing us to say this is a true bargain.

Milan Abarth Supercar

It was unveiled last week in Monaco, and while it may have some influences in its design, mainly from older racing cars, it is, dare we say it, unique. However, if its racecar-esque looks don`t win you over, its proposed power figure definitely will, as the Milan Abarth is said to be available with power outputs ranging from 600 hp, all the way up to 1,700 hp.

Also, thanks to its very low curb weight of just over one tonne, if it has the right tires and gearing, it could sprint to 100 km/h or 62 mph in around two seconds (that could mean both under and over the specified value). Set to cost from €300,000, the car will be unveiled with official formalities in February of next year.

2012 Bentley EXP 9F

This luxury car is powered by a 6.0-liter W12 engine that is mated with eight-speed automatic transmission resulting 600 hp and 800 Nm of torque.
