Dope Sheit; Night Drift in Warsaw

Warsaw Night Drift from InterCars

This short, yet incredibly sweet video hails from Poland, where it looks like they had a competitive drift event on (closed) public streets! Not only does it look like they are blasting through downtown Warsaw, it even looks like they are pummeling their drift cars across cobblestone roadways! This video has some nice build up to it, with some simple, yet effective motion graphics. One place I think this video really shines is it’s emphasis on sound design. I think a lot of people tend to forget that the audio is half of the viewing experience. I hope to see a lot more videos like this from the InterCars camp. via- Andy Sapp

Swag Splash: Kevin Pererira

kevinpereira.com- "Kevin Pereira, hopped up on antibiotics and nasal sprays, dons a sweat-stained Godfather T-shirt and "comfy pants" to drum along with "Amazing" by Kanye West. He knows the drums are way too busy for this track, and could really care less, because it's just too much fun to play..."

well enjoy the video! Than checkout his Ping Pong challenge to Susan Sarandon. (owner of SPIN ping pong club in NYC)

Dope Sheit: 500hp Lotus Exige

Ok this is probably the craziest street Lotus Exige I have ever seen. This rocket sports not just one but 2 forms of forced induction. Were talking about 500hp from a turbocharged and supercharged motor setup. The car is very light already and with this much hp a widebody had to be fitted to be able to handle some wider wheels and tires for the extra power. Check out a video to finish it off.

Random OD: Best Comment Ever x The Truth About College.

Lmao. with that said I leave you with the Truth About College.

The Truth About College:

College is a bunch of rooms where you sit for 2,000 hours or so and
try to memorize things. The 2,000 hours are spread out over four
years. You spend the rest of the time sleeping, partying, and trying to
get dates.

Basically, you learn two kinds of things in college:

1. Things you will need to know in later life (two hours). 2. Things you
will not need to know in later life (1,998 hours).

The latter are the things you learn in classes whose names end in
-ology, -osophy, -istry, -ics, and so on. The idea is you memorize
these things, then write them down in little exam books, then forget
them. If you fail to forget them, you become a professor and have to stay
in college for the rest of your life.

After you’ve been in college for a year or so, you’re supposed to
choose a major, which is the subject you intend to memorize and
forget the most things about. Here is a very important piece of
advice: Be sure to choose a major that does not involve Known Facts
and Right Answers. This means you must not major in mathematics,
physics, biology, chemistry, or geology because these subjects
involve actual facts.

If, for example, you major in mathematics, you’re going to wander
into class one day and the professor will say: “Define the cosine
integer of the quadrant of a rhomboid binary axis, and extrapolate
your result to five significant vertices.” If you don’t come up with
exactly the answer the professor has in mind, you fail.

The same is true of chemistry: If you write in your exam book that
carbon and hydrogen combine to form oak, your professor will flunk
you. He wants you to come up with the same answer he and all the
other chemists have agreed on. Scientists are extremely snotty about
this.

So you should major in subjects like English, philosophy, psychology, and
sociology – subjects in which nobody really understands what anybody else
is talking about, and which involve virtually no actual facts.

I attended classes in all these subjects, so I’ll give you a quick
overview of each:

ENGLISH: This involves writing papers about long books you have read
little snippets of just before class. Here is a tip on how to get good
grades on your English papers: Never say anything about a book that
anybody with any common sense would say. For example, suppose you are
studying Moby Dick. Anybody with any common sense would say Moby Dick is
a big white whale, since the characters in the book refer to it as a big
white whale roughly 11,000 times. So in your paper, you say Moby Dick is
actually the Republic of Ireland. Your professor, who is sick to death of
reading papers and never liked Moby Dick anyway, will think you are
enormously creative. If you can regularly come up with lunatic
interpretations of simple stories, you should major in English.

PHILOSOPHY: Basically, this involves sitting in a room and deciding
there is no such thing as reality and then going to lunch. You should
major in philosophy if you plan to take a lot of drugs.

PSYCHOLOGY: This involves talking about rats and dreams.
Psychologists are obsessed with rats and dreams. I once spent an
entire semester training a rat to punch little buttons in a certain
sequence, then training my roommate to do the same thing. The rat
learned much faster. My roommate is now a doctor. If you like rats or
dreams, and above all if you dream about rats, you should major in
psychology.

SOCIOLOGY: For sheer lack of intelligibility, sociology is far and
away the number one subject. I sat through hundreds of hours of
sociology courses, and read gobs of sociology writing, and I never
once heard or read a coherent statement. This is because sociologists
want to be considered scientists, so they spend most of their time
translating simple, obvious observations into scientific-sounding code.
If you plan to major in sociology, you’ll have to learn to do the same
thing. For example, suppose you have observed that children cry when they
fall down. You should write: “Methodological observation of the
sociometrical behavior tendencies of prematurated isolates indicates that
a causal relationship exists between groundward tropism and lachrimatory
behavior forms.” If you can keep this up for 50 or 60 pages, you will get
a large government grant .

Swag Splash: Gregg Gillis a.k.a Girl Talk

Girl Talk also known as DJ Gregg Gillis, is quickly rising out of obscurity. He naturally combines dozens of hip-hop, pop, and rock hits in every song. His most recent album, Feed the Animals, has more than 300 samples on it. In one of his songs, “Like This” he works in Beyonce, Rick Astley, Nine Inch Nails, and Yo La Tengo in a 90-second sequence. It is not just Girl Talk is definitely an artist you need to check out.


He wasn’t the first guy to splice a few songs together, but he’s taken the mash-up to obsessive and euphoric new heights. Is it art? Ask a grad student. Is it legal? Gillis, for one, doesn’t much care. Is it fun? Judging by the thousands of sweaty, writhing bodies packed in at every show and the women leaping onstage to get next to his near-clothesless body, we’re going to say yes -GQ

Random OD: The 9 Words Women Use

9 WORDS WOMEN USE

thought this was hilarious, and TRUE.
you tell me, is there truth to this assessment?


(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are
right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an
hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given
five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,
and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing
usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement
often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an
idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and
arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of
nothing.)

(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women
can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard
before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just
say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true,
unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not
thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’. That will bring on
a ‘whatever’).

(8) Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying F—- YOU!

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement,
meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several
times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man
asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response, refer to # 3.

Notice the turntable platter-inspired dots around the heel, and of course his logo on the tongue.
