One person who will always remain larger than life, even in death, is pop legend Michael Jackson. The world has seen him rock  them with his music, dance, charisma and eccentricities. We have seen how hard his fans are trying to keep his memory alive, and frankly, we do not have a single doubt in their effort. His clothes and CDs were auctioned. In fact, he also earned a documentary ‘This Is It’ which saw packed houses for everyone wanted to see MJ in his last days, preparing for his much awaited comeback that sadly never happened.

Well, now it is a 3D version of the singer that has got everyone to sit up and take notice. Truth is that when alive, Jackson had taken 3D scans of his body with a hope to build a virtual reality body double for himself. And this very 3D scan data has been put on sale on eBay by an anonymouse person from the US with a claim that these belong to the 37 year old MJ of 1996.

The price is huge at $1.5 M but if the details are to be believed then this data can create an MJ who will speak, laugh, sing and even dance for you. The data was gathered by using the same equipment which ceates data for video games and realted stuff. Is this it? We are wondering.

Technology has indeed taken BBQ grills to newer levels, but this time we spotted creativity doing a real slick job with the whole outdoor cooking regime. And in all fairness, we are completely blown away by it. First, it was the barbecue train followed by Dragon BBQ grills but even those could not satiate the hunger for more styles, and so the pistol-shaped BBQ grill was born. This time it is a truck, or should we say Ford truck to be precise, that is at your service to cook up some crunchy meats and breads for you on the go.

This one comes decked with all the high-tech gadgets giving one the ultimate in tailgating. In fact, it might just remind you of the Fire Truck grill that was launched last year. Well, the two are different and you will know once you take a look at the Ford Truck grill’s price tag which is a huge $15,000.

There isn’t any word on the specs of this beauty. All we know is that it is up for sale on eBay and is looking to add a certain magic to all your outdoor eating sessions. You will definitely rule with this one.

Ferraris will be Ferraris – exclusive and so spectacularly stylish! eBay is auctioning off one that was named in the honor of the auto company’s Italian founder Enzo. Yep, you heard it right, the Ferrari Enzos is indeed up for sale. Just so you know only 399 units were manufactured in 2003. So, that’s definitely rare but it gets more so owing to its color black, for when have we got a chance to spot a black Ferrari, not too often we can safely assume.

The sexy Enzo in eBay has a price tag of $1,325,000. And this black beauty and stunning black interiors to match. We are told that this dream machine is one of three with this configuration in the US.

The Ferrari Enzo comes with all the regular gimmicks like the original window stikcer, two keys, car cover, battery tender and luggage. Though we do realise that a true Ferrari die-hard would prefer the car in red but a black one too looks great and like we said, it’s very rare.

The Ferrari never really does conjure the image of a stylish chopper mobike in our minds. It is always the famous Italian supercar that is known to have torn up the racetrack for so many years now. So, neither you nor we can be blamed. Because one very enterprising and, might we add, daring motorcycle bulder has devised a contradiction of his own. And he likes to call it the Ferrari Chopper.

The picture above showcases the machine in reference in its mechanical splendor. We are told that only two such bikes have been made. One has been powered by an inline-triple from Triumph. On the other hand, the second one makes use of an inline-four that has been yanked from a Yamaha R1.

And if it helps, both these bikes have been on the show circuit with a lot of mileage gained on both the Internet and in print. One of these bikes was recently auctioned off on eBay for a huge $40,000.

All through the life of this beautiful actress, women wanted to be like her and men wanted to date her. Marilyn Monroe was more than just a desirable woman; she was the epitome of beauty sensuous perfection that seemed ethereal and eternal. It’s no wonder that even years after her death, people hunger to get close to her.

We recently featured an article on eBay auctioning the grave plot next to that of Monroe’s and the stunning interest the auction had received. The bidding has now come to an end and a mystery individual has won the rights from seller Elsie Poncher for the crypt in the Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park. The crypt, which was till recently occupied by Elsie’s husband, had earlier belonged to Monroe’s husband and has now been sold for $4,602,100.

The Los Angeles neighbourhood is well known for the number of celebrities living there, including Playboy owner Hugh Hefner. No one knows, so perhaps it was even Hefner who bought the grave and would rot eternally next to the legendary beauty.

Today we are going to talk about a dream roadster. Called the Voxmobile, it was designed and built by George Barris along the lines of the Bed Buggy, Munster Rod and Batmobile which by the way were made by the same man around the same time. We are told that the main car in reference here was designed as a promotional gimmick along with all the design razzmatazz of working amps, keyboards and guitar racks for the VOX prodcuts. In fact, from what we hear the car was even supposed to co-star with Jack Nicholson in the film Psych-Out but the deal did not work out.

The Voxmobile is based on a street rail with a leading arm solid axle front and cut ford 9″ rear-end.  There is a 289 Cobra motor that pumps up the jam to 275 bhp. No wonder, the car can reach 175 mph.

The 12 speakers strewn all across the vehicle as well as the 12″ primaries can withstand up to 32 Vox guitars through the beatle head. Now, you must be wondering what exactly will it take you to own all of this! Well, we can give you a hint. How about $175,000? Yep, that is price tag with this macho vintage beauty on eBay. Are your game?

Things that one does for the love of music! Last year had Australian singer and song writer Josh Pyke commissioning guitar-smiths Maton to create a boat that looked just like an acoustic guitar. Remember, Pyke rode the boat at Sydney Harbor for his Make You Happy music video. So after enjoying the guitar boat and using it for his PR, the man now wants to sell it for charity.

Pyke feels that his guitar boat has gained popularity as one of the highlights of his music album and wants it to go on and charm the lives of so many others. Apparently, Pyke will soon be launching ‘Busking For Change’ along with the Indigenous Literacy Project, and he expects the boat to raise some monies for that.

The guitar boat will be auctioned from February 9 onwards on eBay and will be up for just four days. So, if you have a dream of floating down your local river on a boat that looks like a guitar, well you’d better get the dough ready for you will soon have no time to waste!

Just go over to eBay as quickly as you can and maybe you can still manage to outbid someone for this cutting-edge technology in surveillance system that uses infrared imaging to analyze data even in wobbly conditions. The FLIR Thermal Imaging System that has been earlier used in a chopper is now up for grabs on eBay with its ‘Take it Now’ price being a mere $40,000. There are “surprisingly”, no current bids on it and so you can get it for that fabulous discount if you hurry.

The FLIR can pick up data even in stormy conditions as new gyroscopic technology embedded in it will allow you to get the perfect infra red image even in shaky weather. So you go and bid for it and get it home with ‘free shipping’ that it offers. But what do you do with it after that? Well, you could hunt rats with it, smoke out infestation and if you happen to be some kind of terrorist then can use it for your next bombing. (Though shipping to Afghanistan and Pakistan is not free)
