Website of the day: Gearpatrol.com

If you’ve got a hankering for adventure and the finer things in life, a wide range of experiences and interests, Gear Patrol is for you (http://gearpatrol.com/). Designed to appeal to your inner James Bond/triathelete/race car driver, etc, Gear Patrol is packed with adventure vacations, fine spirits and awesome gadgets.

As a really good example of what these guy’s are doing (and at the risk of stepping on Graham’s turf), check out this fantastic mini-documentary on the iconic Porsche 917 prototype: Faster. Farther. Porsche 917 (Click it, man. You’ll thank me later.)

These are definitely our kind of guys. In fact, I’ve just added them to our links page. But be forewarned: the site is huge with a ton of cool stuff. You could get lost in there for days so it can definitely cut into your productivity. But what a way to while away the hours until your next adventure.

Cars we want–2014 Corvette C7 Stingray

The Stingray’s back and coming soon to GM showrooms near you:

And we want one (euro snobs need not read on).

C7 Stingray: 6.2L direct injected small block V8. 0-60 in under 4 secs. 26mpg (believe it when I see it). MSRP $56.5k loaded. Aluminum and carbon fiber up the yin yang and magnetic ride suspension. Sounds like a bargain and I have a feeling it’ll be hard to come by without a wait.

And an excellent photo gallery and rundown from the boys at autoevolution.com

Place your orders, muscle car fans. And can we please have some of these in the new United Sports Car Racing series?
