Lara Croft (seen here) is best known for raiding tombs and being the relic hunting alter-ego of Angelina Jolie. And now, the town of her origin is honoring her with a road , Lara Croft Way. Hey, that’s cool, but I’ve had a road named after me for years. GW Parkway , anybody? High-five, DC peeps! The Tomb Raider babe, played by Angelina Jolie in movie adaptations of the hit games, was created by Derby-based Core Design in the mid-1990s. Bosses at the city’s council today announced their new £36million ring road will be called Lara Croft Way following a public vote. Nearly 28,000 people took part in the online poll, and Lara Croft emerged the clear winner — with 89 per cent of the vote. Congratulations, Lara, I’d drive on you. IN MY MONSTER TRUCK! I am gonna f*** your roadsigns up! Lara Croft is curvy new road [thesun] and Picture Thanks to Littlezan and Add still loves Elmo, who both have roads named after them because they are practically celebrities scammed the Make A Wish Foundation growing up.

Are you richer than God ? Are you considering the purchase of an Aston Martin Rapide? If so, please hire me — I’ll do anything. Sexual favors excluded. Sexual flavors , okay. Mmmm, this tastes like lube ! The AMVOX2 Rapide Transponder heralds the second generation of the revolutionary creation that sealed the ties between the Grande Maison from the Vallée de Joux and the legendary British luxury sports car manufacturer. Released several months ago, it is the first mechanical watch developed with the ability to control access into a luxury sports car by means of a built-in micro transmitter system serves to lock and unlock the Aston Martin DBS car, while maintaining the key functions of the famous vertical-trigger mechanism equipping the pushpiece-free chronograph. That’s right, a $30K watch that unlocks your car doors . It may even start the engine too, I dunno. But that’s not the point. The point is this: if you can’t even use a regular key you probably shouldn’t be driving. Hit the jump for another shot of the watch and one of the car. Vroom vroom?

Let’s face it, golf courses aren’t as safe as they used to be. So I’ll be damned if I’m cruising around the links in an unprotected buggy . Thankfully, now there’s the $45K Anti-Terrorist Assault Cart (Atac). *thwack* Fore! GO GO GO!! It weighs just under half a tonne, has bullet-proof windows and contains numerous firing ports. Furthermore it is able to negotiate corridors and lifts. Metaltech says the squat and heavily armoured vehicle can also withstand grenade blasts and last for six hours on a single charge - with a top speed of 25km/h (15mph). Sure being able to withstand grenade blasts is a huge plus, but I feel like those tires are just begging to be popped. I mean, for $45K I was expecting tank treads. Which, haha, of course I’d still drive on the greens! Jesus, it’s not like I’m gonna do donuts (unless I par). ‘Anti-terror buggy’ unveiled by firm in India [bbcnews] Thanks to Mr. H, who developed a crush on Ms. I because they always had to sit next to each other in homeroom.

This is a video of some sort of Russian-made chassis that turns your car into a treaded vehicle . I’m not sure how it connects or if you have to take the wheels off, but I do know I want one . Just not as bad as I want a kit that turns my car into a monster truck. 20’s? Pleeeeaase , I’m rollin’ on 200’s fool! Russian ’strap-on tank’ turns any car into a monster [dvice]

Because when you know you’re going down you might as well do it in a big pile of flaming pink shit, Dodge has decided to make ‘Furious Fuscia’ Challengers and market them to men . Chrysler Group is trying to better define its various brands and products as it attempts to claw back lost market share following years of slumping sales and financial cutbacks that ultimately ended in bankruptcy. Photographs don’t really do justice to Furious Fuchsia, Chrysler spokesman Dan Ried insisted, while acknowledging that fuchsia might seem an odd color choice for a male-oriented car. “I saw it in person and it actually looks pretty cool,” he said. “It’s tough to capture how it looks in the daylight.” No, it’s not hard to capture. It looks pinkish-purple. Now listen, Dodge, I’m not one to tell somebody how to run their business, but you’re doing it wrong. You want to succeed in auto making I’ve got two words for you: Lean manufacturing HOVER CARS. Trust me, put all your eggs in that basket. Dodge’s new tough-guy color: Furious Fuchsia [cnn] Thanks to JOeyKy, who tells women he rides his bike everywhere because he cares about the environment even though I saw him on Operation Repo.

This is a conceptual Red Bull motorcycle as designed by Barrend Massow Hemmes. Riding it makes you look like you’re boning a giant red bull from behind, which, I suspect, is the reason the internal combustion engine was invented in the first place. Is there anything sexier? Yes, but it involves mermaids and a wet t-shirt contest and….God, I got the shivers just typing that. And by “shivers” I mean “garden hose from the garage”. Tell your sisters, Ariel. Cash prizes. Hit the jump for two more pictures, including the original sketch.

Wow, did the GW really just post a picture of a girl sitting on a car with a ‘ZELDA64′ license plate ? DAMN YEAH HE DID, HIGH-FIVE! But wait, there’s more. You see Alyssa there is on an adult website that just launched called Pixel-Vixens. What is Pixel-Vixens? Every model is a real geek - Comic book nerds, otaku, cosplayers, tabletop gamers, video game fans. What’s hotter than a girl who can kick your ass at Halo & rolls 20’s? That same girl…naked! Well TOOT TOOTLE TOOT, Alyssa! Also, I heard if you go to Pixel-Vixens there’s a rather provocative shot of her where you can see a sweet Zelda tattoo on her leg (preview page, bottom left corner — don’t let the blond hair fool you). Not that I saw it myself, but a perverted friend told me about it. Me? Into naked Zelda cosplay? Puhleeeeaaase. (I think this warrants a free membership) NSFW NSFW Pixel-Vixens NSFW NSFW via OH YEAH BABY thats mah license plate! [watchtheguild] Thanks to Jiakasuma, who only cosplays in the buff. So, uh, doesn’t that just make you a naked person?

The Sharker, despite its name, has no interest in pulling your top down and exposing your breasts in public. No, it’s cool just being a monocoque motorbike and feeling the occasional butt on its supple leather seat . While most cars switched to monocoque construction (a technique that supports structural load by using an object’s exterior, as opposed to using an internal frame) back in the ’60s or ’70s, motorcycles have stuck with a traditional supporting framework, sometimes with an added fairing for aerodynamics, pretty much since they were first invented. The Sharker breaks this tradition by using its sexy carbon bodywork to support the rider, engine, and wheels, resulting in both lower weight and improved stiffness. Performance is impressive, with 140 horses ready to propel the Sharker to over 60 MPH in four seconds. Top speed can vary between 125 and 174 MPH depending on gearing choices. Neat. So what do you think — is this what motorcycles of the future will look like? No. Is it still cool looking though? A little. Is this what a motorcycle inspired dildo would look like? Absolutely. Sharker motobike is a real land shark for the 21st century [dvice]

This is a Predator-themed motorcycle . If you really must know, it’s a 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa with a bunch of pieces glued on and all airbrushed . Plus some skulls for good measure. It’s pretty wicked. Granted, it’s not as wicked as a Witch of West bike would be, but that bitch was baaaaad . Hit the jump for several close-ups and a link to an even larger gallery.

If you’ve been reading Geekologie for over a year (gold star reader!) you may recall the story we ran about Lamborghini donating two Gallardo’s to the Italian police for use in high-speed chases involving other supercars . Well, if you couldn’t tell by the picture, one of them isn’t doing so hot. The 200mph Gallardo ploughed into parked cars after it swerved to avoid another vehicle that had just pulled out of a petrol station. It was being driven back from a special show for students when the accident happened near the city of Cremona. Two police officers in the car escaped with only minor injuries. No-one else was hurt in the crash. Police also use the vehicles to ferry transplant organs in specially fitted fridges. Hell yeah, transplant organs. Say — any livers in that fridge? Kidding, I’m vegetarian! Hit the jump for one more shot from the other side.
