Unbelievably Painful-Looking Body Piercings

#15 Fore-Real?

These forehead piercings look like they were installed with a nail gun. How do you sleep in those things?

#14 Wolverine

It takes a special someone to conceive of a piercing that’s just as painful for themselves as it must be for their friends. [Via:]

#13 Touche Internet, Touche

Before seeing this row of painful piercings we didn’t even know that “lime tree trapped in a man’s body” was a thing. And apparently this is the surgery you get for it. [Via:]

#12 Pedal On

Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is a bicycle pierced through that guy’s face. I don’t know whether to start with “how” or “why”. [Via:]

#11 Don’t Touch Me

Did you know that your fingertips are some of the most sensitive nerve-dense parts of your body? [Via:]

#10 Be Still

If this person makes one false move everyone watching is going to pass out. [Via:]

#9 Uvul-ugh

It’s hard to look at this without activating your gag reflex. We bet that piercer has seen more than one plate of cookies tossed. [Via:]

#8 Eye, Eye, Eye

If a particle of dust in your eye can make you blink and weep like a nutter what must an eyelid piercing feel like…every time you blink? [Via:]

#7 Headache

We don’t know exactly how you get those piercings in but we bet it involves a general anesthetic. [Via:]

#6 Smelly

These piercings aren’t what look terribly painful. It’s that cold, dry, burning sinus sensation this guy’s got to feel with every breath. [Via:]

#5 Tongue

Did you know that the tongue consists of eight muscles that are all very strong for their size? Did you also know that the tongue feels pain? Horrible lisping pain. [Via:]

#4 Ribbons

What if one of them snags? What if one of them snags?! [Via:]

#3 So Many…

When we were kids we used to count bottles of beer on the wall when we were bored. If counting piercings is the new version of that we’re going to go find something to do. [Via:]

#2 Busy

Which one of these painful-looking piercings do you think hurt the most? My bet is on all of them — every single one. [Via:]

#1 I Can’t Understand You

I didn’t even know you could pierce that. By the way, that little strip of skin is called the frenulum linguae and it’s extra hard to pronounce when you put a metal spike through it. [Via:]

1964 Ford Falcon

I love the look of the Ford Falcons; they have that old school look with some serious power beneath the hood. They offered this in a couple of different version, including the convertible and also a station wagon.

1956 BUICK CENTURION

Rather than a pointed and rounded nose, the Centurion’s backset grille gives it more of a look of mounted machine guns, ready to blast any competition away. It’s also got the rounded pointy rear, but the most unique aspect of the car might be the full glass bubble cabin. The Centurion name didn’t make its production debut until ’71, when a much less inspired and far less fun car was put out onto lots.

Street Parked: 1962 Chevrolet BelAir

Matte finished cars normally don’t catch my eye. Even when I do notice them, they hardly ever look good to me. This big sinister Chevrolet is different, the matte paint job really works. The car looks both elegant and frighteningly ⋆.

This car has been in the neighborhood for a while now, I shot it at a couple of different locations and times of day.

The color of this car really makes the design details jump out, and also the excellent Torque Thrust style wheels.

The BelAir was the middle of the line full size Chevrolet for 1962. The Impala was the top of the line and the Biscayne was the stripped out entry model. The Impala far outsold its lesser trimmed platform-mates: 704,900 Impalas, compared to 365,000 BelAirs and 160,000 Biscaynes (1).

These cars came with a wide range of engine choices. You could have a thrifty 235.5 cubic inch (3.9 liters) inlne six with 135 horsepower or you could opt for v8s in sizes up to the monstrous 409 cubic inch (6.7 liter) range topper that made 409 horsepower when equipped with dual four barrel carburetors. Although I’ve seen this car parked in a number of different places in the neighborhood, I’ve never heard it run or met its owner. I wonder what sort of engine is in there. Probably not a 409.

Big older American sedans like this get lost in the sea of muscle cars and other drive in favorites. Personally, I like something that you don’t see every day. I love seeing a car like this getting driven and creatively modified. I’ll post an update if I notice any significant changes to it. I think enormous flames painted on the hood and flowing down the sides and onto the roof would be interesting. It would need a healthy engine to back up this look, which would be fun.

Mercedes Ener-G-Force concept imagines the SUV of 2025

Every year, the Los Angeles Auto Show hosts a challenge among automotive designers to concoct far-flung ideas about the future of transportation. This year’s theme asked what the law enforcement rides of 2025 might look like, and the sketchers at Mercedes-Benz were so enamored with their design they built a life-size version, creating a Gelandewagon for the end of the world.

 

Dubbed the Ener-G-Force, the truck is in Mercedes’ own words “pure science fiction,” but it does provide a few hints as to where Mercedes designers see SUV styles heading. Based on the military-grade G-Class SUVs, the Ener-G-Force features built-in police lights, a bull bar integrated into the grille and 20-inch off-road wheels “guarantee the right-of-way even where no way exists.” Since this is 2025, power comes from a hydrogen fuel cell sending electricity to motors in each wheel hub.

As part of the design competition, Mercedes filled the Ener-G-Force with a few less realistic, imaginary tools. The hydrogen from the fuel cell comes from a more up-to-date take on Mr. Fusion that pulls hydrogen from any given source, and stores the water produced by the cells in roof tanks. The space where a spare tire goes on the modern G-Class is filled with tools. And the roof rack includes a “terrascan” topography sensor that adjusts the suspension for different terrain. Given that Mercedes already sells technology that attempts to sense the road and even the wakefulness of the driver, some of this sounds like it could be on a options list well before 2025.
