Arturo Alonso is the mastermind behind this reborn beauty. The 2009 Gullwing-America 300 SL Panamericana features a fiberglass-reinforced aluminum body on top of a powder-coated steel chassis. It will be powered by a Mercedes M-133-55 engine (370HP), the same 5.5-liter V8 in the supercharged SLR McLaren. A V6 option is also in the works. Owners will have their choice between a six-speed manual or a seven-ratio Speedtronic automatic transmission. Not to mention this car has all the modern amenities like air-conditioning and power steering. All of this could be your for about 200,000 euros. Image gallery and press release.

Glenn Jones is one of the most successful designers on Threadless, now he has his own company. My favorite from his new line is this Lego shirt for $20. Some people don’t agree with evolution, but everyone loves Legos. Take a look at the t-shirt.

This product is usually only for sale in Kentucky however now there are a few online retailers that have limited supply. Maker’s Mark Mint Julep is a good summer drink for any whiskey lover, and makes a great alternative to mojitos.

We like when our hand soap is more than just soap, and when brass knuckles are not disguised at belt-buckles. Soap Knuckles are made of all natural glycerin, and cost $15 for two.

MSI Wind Top AE1900

MSI’s new Wind Top AE1900 at first glance looks similar to Apple’s old cinema displays. Under the hood though, the AE1900 packs quite a punch for its price. It’s an all in unit featuring an 18.5 inch touch screen display (1366 x 768 resolution), integrated Intel GMA 950 graphics core, 4-in-1 card reader, dual layer DVD rewriter drive, gigabit ethernet, 801.11 b/g/n, and a 1.3 megapixel webcam. Two models are available, the cheaper going for $529 with an Intel Atom 230 processor, a 160GB hard drive, and 1GB DDR2-533 RAM. The more expensive model, at $640, has an Atom 330, 250GB hard drive, and 2GB DDR2-533 RAM. While the system is a bit limited graphics-wise (the GMA 950 was used in the first generation Macbooks — in early 2006, ugh), the touchscreen is a pretty unique aspect that could make the AE1900 a suitable kiosk PC.

This is an 11 pound hand cut Himalayan Salt Plate. Since salt is a great conductor of heat, and naturally antimicrobial, salt plates make a great cooking surface in the oven or on the grill. You could even chill it for serving sushi. They cost $40$50 depending on which size you want. See the image gallery.
