This red, white and blue beauty is one of the rarest BMWs ever built. The 1980 BMW M1 AHG Studie features the best of what BMW had to offer to the racing class. The standard BMW M1 featured a modest 3.5L V6 engine with 273 hp at its command. Beyond performance alone, the 1980 BMW M1 AHG Studie is loved for its design as well. Another BMW M1 was painted by Andy Warhol as one of the most iconic BMW Art Cars ever created....

Steaklocker Ill admit, dry aging techniques for steak have always escaped me. To me, its a process thats more or less limited to professional chefs and butchers. After all, its pretty much impossible for the average consumer to safely dry-age their steaks. As such, its historically been best to leave dry-aging to the professionals. That may soon change. A projectsjust surfaced on Kickstartercalled Steaklocker. Not exactly insignificant savings, are they?...

Not familiar with Heimplanet? I covered theHeimplanet Maverickstent earlier this month, an inflatable extreme-weather tent capable of sustaining 100mph winds. Heimplanet tents use a tough air frame with inflatable tubes that raise the tent in minutes. Stakes are not necessary, but encouraged if winds are tougher than normal. Theyre working in that direction, however, giving Q3 explorers a great option to explore the great outdoors. My favorite part about this tent?...
By comparison to the SpaceX Dragon V2, current space travel is woefully inefficient. This hefty engine produces 16,000 pounds of thrust, and can be restarted multiple times as-needed. Its downright beautiful to see in action. Now that weve gotten the facts out of the way, its time for a bit of speculation. Flying with the Earths orbit, you could potentially arrive in just a few hours. Tell me that isnt awesome....

Beneath the sculptured steel surface, an interior space echoes the bold angles of the exterior. The living section features geometric walls that accent and separate the home into shared and private spaces alike. The sculptural character of the Daniel Libeskind 18.36.54 House is rarely paralleled in the world of modern architecture. [photography:nicholas koenig] Daniel Libeskind 18....
