MINI ROADSTER
MINI’s latest redesign meets the open air with the MINI Roadster ($TBA). Arriving in Cooper, Cooper SD, Cooper S, and John Cooper Works models, this powerful pit bull-esque drop-top features power ranging from 122 hp in the standard model to 211 in the JCW, Dynamic Stability Control, a manually operated soft-top roof for that old-timey feel, an optional Harman Kardon hi-fi audio system, and the MINI Connected system with web radio, Google services, an RSS reader, and integration with Facebook and Twitter.

30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself
As Maria Robinson once said, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Nothing could be closer to the truth. But before you can begin this process of transformation you have to stop doing the things that have been holding you back. (via 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself)
1965 MERCEDES-BENZ 220SE CABRIOLET
When one thinks of movie memorabilia, items from The Hangover aren’t the first things that come to mind. Yet this 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Cabriolet ($85,000) is better than any prop we’ve seen recently. Beautifully restored, this original convertible boasts a shiny silver grey metallic paint job with a dark blue interior and matching cloth top, and offers not-so-common options like factory air conditioning, an automatic transmission, and power steering. One of less than 2,800 ever made, it’s one of only five used during filming, and thanks to blemishes on each side of the rearview, it’s the only one that’s easily identifiable on-screen, so you can boast about exactly what scene your new ride was in.

Terrifying Mountain “Refuge” Juts Out Over An Alpine Cliff
Named after the famed F6F Hellcat fighter plane of WWII, the Confederate X132 Hellcat Motocycle ($45,000) is a fighter in its own way. (via Confederate X132 Hellcat Motocycle | Uncrate)
In case of emergency. In case of zombie outbreak. In case of rabid squirrel attacks — whatever the case, you can rely on the Mossberg Just-In-Case Kit ($360). This all-in-one survival pack includes a 12 gauge Mossberg 500 Pump-Action shotgun inside a re-sealable clear bag, inside a waterproof synthetic carrying tube which also holds gear like a “Survival Kit in a Can” and a multi-tool and serrated knife combo pack.
