Some times, keeping low profile is not such a bad idea altogether. That is what Airstream did at the launch of the PanAmerica- they practically did nothing. Even the product was no where to be found on the company’s own site. Now that’s taking the idea a little too further, if you ask me. What makes the product really sturdy and durable is the aluminum monocoque shell, which accounts for twenty percent less fuel consumption. It has an inbuilt garage having hookers and locks along with a foldaway ramp to keep your bikes securely.
The length of PanAmerica is a spacious 34 feet . All the models are disability friendly and the manufacturers are more than willing to customize the vehicle to making it more disable friendly, if need be. It is worthy of $85,000 that it asks for.

Have you ever heard about any one giving their house for free if you buy a replica of the house? I am sure none of us have heard about this cranky thing. That precisely is the reason why Gerry Mann and Cindy Mann are selling the toy house for $169,000 and offering their four-bedroom, two-bathroom home as free.
The couple living at 221 Bradley St were tired of waiting for any customers to arrive at their door for more than an year. Gerry Mann explained his classic case thus: “The Realtors do the normal thing; they put us in the book, they have an open house. So after a year I was thinking, I don’t know, I have this dollhouse sitting in my basement, let me see if I can do some creative marketing.”
Their ancestor, retired engineer late Ron Cadwell made a replica of the home 50 years back using a 1-foot-to-1-inch scale, as a play house for children. Little did he know that he his little replica home would be worth hundreds of thousands!

Those who can’t control their fingers from reaching classic arcade cabinet but fail to found one can now take a deep sigh. Christened as Retro Space, the designer cabinet is developed by Martjin Koch to memorialize the first ever cupboard for an arcade i.e. Computer Space, the cabinet unveiled in 1971. But today with the contemporary offering, it seems to mar the outdated machinery.
The arcade cabinet features over 100 arcade games, gamut of emulators and is accessible on a HD media jukebox. It also sports 1080p video playback, a 24-inch 1920×1200 monitor, Sanwa joysticks and buttons, and a trackball.
But if it falls an inch below your expectations then the retro cabinet also boasts of having a 2gHz Intel Core2Duo processor, 2GB RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Ethernet. If you vouch for my opinion then for sure it offers the arcade gaming befitting the 21st century taste.
