Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork. The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold – he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that – well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) – pivot with the steering wheel.

Syrian Electronic Army Reported Takes Over Twitter's Domain Registration

Syrian Electronic Army Reported Takes Over Twitter's Domain Registration

Some of you guys might have heard a while back that the website, The Onion, was hacked by a group calling themselves the Syrian Electronic Army. Now it looks like the group is back again, and this time they are claiming that they have taken over Twitter's domain registration. For now it appears to be true as a Whois lookup on Twitter's domain name reveals evidence pointing at the Syrian Electronic Army. This includes the admin's name which reads "SEA SEA", and the admin's email which points towards "sea@sea.sy".

First production Volvo P1800 stolen

First production Volvo P1800 stolen

Want further proof that car thieves are the scum of the Earth. Some crooks in Sweden made off with a prized Volvo - the very first production P1800. The P1800, a two-door coupe, is a classic that's been growing in popularity over the years, thanks in no small part to its gorgeous sheetmetal. This particular example, wearing chassis number two, wears red paint with a white interior. It was swiped from a locked storage facility in Stockholm, according to Hemmings, between August 21 and 22. The P1800 was owned by Mats Eriksson, vice president of the Swedish P1800 Club, who had given it a thorough restoration.

3D Hubs Shows 3D Printers Available In Your Locality

3D Hubs Shows 3D Printers Available In Your Locality

3D printing has seen a significant rise in its popularity, though they're not as common as your average printer. The main reason behind this is that 3D printers are expensive, an average unit might cost over $1,000. So even though everyone would like to use it, they won't be able to because of the evident problem. 3D Hubs is a new service that fixes this issue to an extent. The service will display 3D printers that are available in your locality, you can upload your design and the owner can print it out. You can then meet the owner, pay a fee and pick up the printed object.

The service has been publicly launched today.

Motor Recall app makes game out of identifying vehicle lights at night

Motor Recall app makes game out of identifying vehicle lights at night

What will they think of next. This is an app called Motor Recall, and if you're at all like us, it's pretty much the equivalent of any nighttime car ride as a kid - see a pair of headlights or taillights, pick out the make, model and if you're lucky/good, the year. Now, the clever folks at Case By Case Studios have turned that time-honored way of surviving a long drive into an app. Loaded with over 250 different headlight and taillight patterns, players have the choice of either matching the headlights with taillights in a game called Match, or out and out guessing which vehicle is being shown, not surprisingly, called Guess.
