The US President Obama has one sweet ride that is guaranteed to let him safely ride in style. There are still lots of details that have not been released but from what we know and can see it is one amazing vehicle. This Cadillac is made by GM but it is not based on the Cadillac, it is actually based on the huge Topkick truck! The 8 inch doors
We have all seen the amazing Tesla, it is a beautiful electric car that has some huge off the line power.

Here are a few interesting ideas that I am sure will catch on… The one pictured above and in the video is autonomous but I think there is still room for some
This DIY Net Gun project must be a blast to play with (pun intended).
