Blik Autographic by Ami Kealoha
Blik, makers of the Space Invaders Wall Decals featured on CH in 2004, have recently announced their foray into the world of automobile customization. After realizing that "there's only so much you can do with Calvin, surfboards, and Hawaiian flowers" the decal innovators created Blik Autographic, 12 body graphics and six window graphics to Blik your ride. Designs include works by Ilan Dei and Matthew Haggett, as well as various designs inspired by nature and graphic design. Blik Autographic start at $20 and are available online.

Airstream x MINI Cooper S Clubman x Republic of Fritz Hansen
For someone like myself who grew up traveling in converted buses, this new Republic of Fritz Hansen-designed Airstream and coordinating modified MINI Cooper S Clubman doesn't look exactly practical, but it does look dreamy. At 6.8 meters long (about 22 feet), the Airstream trailer makes for a relatively compact way to make a road-trip luxurious—for fans of both sea and sun. Incorporating neoprene, acid...

Having been the passionate owner of two Volkwagens already, I was more than thrilled at the prospect of test driving this introduction on the highways and byways of the Windy City. Over the years, Volkswagen had managed to...

Ferrari: Formula Uomo
Soon after a report in the June edition of Wired that talks of spying and sabotage against Ferrari causing a Formula One fiasco, I was understandably a little surprised to be invited to Ferrari's Maranello, Italy headquarters to celebrate the latest installment to Formula Uomo, a program started in 1997 aimed at holistic and continuous improvement of the company. After watching test cars roll...
