Rainworks Invisible Spray

Rainworks Invisible Spray

Spray Rainworks through a stencil onto concrete, and you’ll create street art that can only be seen when it rains. On dry days, it vanishes. Our favorite part of the product description: “Please note that Rainworks Invisible Spray will not make you invisible.”

2017 Mazda MX-5 RF

2017 Mazda MX-5 RF

The already amazingly good Mazda MX-5 Miata gets a retractable targa-style top, which frankly, makes this the looking MX-5 ever, with its smooth, fastback look when closed. Not only does the roof retract, but the back window folds to allow for maximum exhaust note ear candy.

Best Foot Chase Ever

Ukulele Batman v Bagpipe Superman

Ukulele Batman v Bagpipe Superman

Given the fact that Superman could destroy a universe with a sneeze, we’re unconvinced that Batman has a chance in hell in a fight. Even with the oddball Portland, Oregon versions of these superheroes doing battle, it’s clear who’s possesses the real power.

Hydraulic Press vs. Hockey Puck

The Hydraulic Press Channel tests the destructive power of their press yet again. This time they see if it can crush the almighty hockey puck, which managed to fend off a red hot nickel ball, then put up a pretty good fight against thermite the last time we checked in.

Miniature Rube Goldberg Machine

Miniature Rube Goldberg Machine
