Just in case you missed it in the theaters - really, how many times are you going to see Napoleon Dynamite? - the latest installment in the Fast and Furious saga hits DVD retailers on Tuesday. Tokyo Drift follows the "dangerous underground of drift racing" behind the wheel of "tricked out cars" on the "stylish streets of Tokyo." Hmm…are they the same streets we know in Roppongi where random smells can knock a man down at 20 paces? Keep an eye out on the DVD for the ATL's own Bow Wow and don't forget the surround sound for the flick's hip-hop soundtrack. At major retailers like Target, Wal-Mart, and Amazon.
ShatterSports Decals, $6-$20
ShatterSports decal |
Hilarity is your middle name, along with Milhouse. You can't resist a joke anywhere, even on the vitally clear glass surfaces of your vehicle. So what do you do? You apply one of ShatterSport's clever trompe l'oeil stickers and confuse people who think fish are erupting you're your Honda's windows, or that a baseball has shattered your Porsche's sidelights, or worse, that you've hired a faux-finish artist to have at your 'Slade to ill effect. Trust us, these decals are way cheaper and way more effective-and removeable. Choose from sport-ball stickers or opt for the "cling bass" and its 3-D gasps for air at Target, Dicks Sporting Goods, or online at www.shattersports.com.
Quick-find that pen and paper you stashed in your car in the next fifteen seconds. Yeah, we knew you couldn't. That's why some people are gifted with great memories and others resort to ingeniously inexpensive accessories like this Auto Marker Board. Strap it to your sun visor, flip it down and Dri-Erase your notes right in front of your eyes - directions, grocery lists, reasons to own a minivan and want to live. Seek it at the Amazon link above. Oh, and by the way, we can't find our memo pad either, but we did find our Katrina and the Waves CD. And you guessed it, we're now walking on sunshine.
