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."

2. This person is going 75 miles per hour.


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

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.

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.

List of Top 6 Ridiculously Expensive Things For Kids Of All Ages


Toys are generally thought of as being for kids, but kids don’t often have enough hard cash to pay for the really good stuff. Here are 6 really expensive toys for the kid in you – assuming you have a decent paying job or are just really bad with money. They range from small gadgets to giant extravagant conveyances. Take a look at the gallery below and imagine your second childhood with some of these babies in your closet – and a ton of debt at the bank. Probably a good thing you're just imagining it.


6.Arcade Keg Machine


It’s a video game cabinet, and a keg. So, to clarify: You can play video games on it, and get beer out of it. Knowing that, why wouldn’t you be willing to shell out $4,000 for it? It’s worth twice that, at least.

5.Boardwalk Photo Booth


What better way to spice up the walk from your living room to your den than with an “Authentic Boardwalk Photo Booth.” For $11,000, you’ll get the fun of having your picture taken in a booth (cost of film not included). It also doubles as an easy way to let your date know you’re rich as hell.

4.Touch Screen Pool Table


As you can see, this pool table has an interactive touch screen in place of the traditional green felt. The result is you can play pool on what appears to be rippling water, or presumably lots of other cool visual effects. And it only costs $25,000. That’s only like $25 per “wow.”

3.Stock Car Racing Simulator


It might not look like much on the outside, but this Stock Car Racing Simulator offers a totally immersive racing experience on the inside. Or it should, anyway, since it costs about $60,000. If not, you could always use it as a really expensive study room.

2.Hovercraft


Sure, you could argue that it isn’t a toy, but can you think of anything more fun to play with than a hovercraft? And look at that thing, it’s really up there above the water. It’s like a James Bond movie or something. Wondering how much it costs? Well, there’s the catch – this particular model will set you back about $190,000.

1.Giant Robot


The most money you can spend on a “toy” without buying something that’s just a regular gadget with a bunch of diamonds crammed into it (that’s cheating as far as I’m concerned) may be on the “Giant Robot Warrior,” which costs about $1.35 million. Just remember to keep it oiled up, and don’t let it fight with any of your other robots.

He still also has the 1963 split-window Corvette Stingray that he bought during the heydays of The Yardbirds.


4. Nick Mason
There must be something about car collection and rock stars because after Jeff Beck, Nick Mason, the drummer of Pink Floyd, comes next in our list. He has cars from all eras and he makes it a point to keep all of it in tip-top condition. Mason is known to have a love for car racing, having participated in Le Mans several times. It is no wonder that his collection is full of super cars, like the 1931 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300, 1927 Bugatti Type 35, Ferrari 312 T3, Ferrari Enzo, 1955 Jaguar D-Type, Maserati 250F, McLaren F1 GTR and 1990 Porsche 962.

2. Ralph Lauren
Like his designs, Ralph Lauren’s collection is about quality.

His collection is so unique that it has already been featured in a museum.


1. Jay Leno
Jay Leno loves his cars so much that he employs four mechanics and fabricators in a workshop fulltime. While his personal favorite is the 1995 McLaren F1, he actually just buys anything and everything that he likes. He has a 1909 Baker Electric, 1924 Doble Steam, 1955 Buick Roadmaster, a Stanley Steamer, pre-war Bugatti and a host of others.

List of Top 3 Most Expensive Watches Made By Rolex


Mention the name Rolex and you will automatically think of luxury and ultra reliable watches. Considered as one of the most valuable brands in the world today, the company is the largest single luxury watch brand. It produces around 2,000 watches daily and has revenues in the billions of dollars.
Alfred Davis and Hans Wildorf established Rolex in 1905. Originally based in London, the company eventually transferred to Geneva in 1919.
Sports lovers will always see the Rolex sign in tennis grand slam tournaments, particularly in Wimbledon and in the Australian Open. The brand has been used in the most extreme of conditions. It went down to 10,916 meters when Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh dove the depth of the Mariana Trench in 1960. Both men sported a Rolex Sea Dweller Deep Sea Special at that time.
It has also gone way up when the chief guide of the Hillary expedition to the peak of Mount Everest wore the brand in 1953 during their assault of the world’s highest mountain. Tenzing Norgay, as well as other members of the team, was sporting Rolex Oysters on their way to the top, reaching an altitude of 8,848 meters.The watch is a proven timepiece.
Here is a list of the Top 3 most expensive watches made by Rolex.
3. Rolex GMT 116769TBR – $485,350

This is the most expensive watch that comes directly from Rolex. It features a wave diamond dial with luminous hour markers. The hands are luminous as well, though it is lined in black. The bracelet is made of white gold weighing 18 carats. Along with the sides, it is filled with diamonds. The self-winding, automatic watch features an Oysterlock clasp and can go down to 100 meters of water resistance. Even the case and locks are encrusted with 76 brilliant round diamonds.

2. Eric Clapton’s 1971 Rolex Daytona - $505,000
Just like his guitars, Eric Clapton’s watch seems to be highly valued. The watch features a silver monochrome dial, a stark contrast to the more common design themes of Rolex that have different schemes. As a result, the watch was nicknamed Albino. The price of the watch in the market is around a hundred thousand, but Slowhand himself had worn this one, thus, the increase in its value.

1. 1942 Rolex Chronograph – $1.16 million
Only 12 pieces of this 1942 classic were made. Originally estimated to have a value of around $680 thousand, it went at a Christie’s auction for $1.16 million. The watch has a nickel finish and lever movement and silver matte dials. It features 17 jewels and pink gold Arabic and baton numerals. It also has outer minute divisions, blue telemeter, black tachymeter scales, two subsidiary dials for constant seconds, a 30-minute register, and a split second chronograph mechanism.
