Rolling Stones Mercedes Auction

Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions

In order to support the Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang tour, Mercedes-Benz is auctioning off a Rolling Stones Edition R-Class and Fender Telecaster guitar, both signed by each member of the Rolling Stones. The auction will run on eBay from April 10-20 and profits will benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters. The car has an airbrushed Rolling Stones A Bigger Bang design as well as Rolling Stones embroidered headrests and floor mats. You can pre-register online now for bidding ease later. And here, I thought Jack Osbourne's BMW was the height of rock tackiness.

Turbo Wall Sculpture

Filed under: Decor

The design spotters at Inhabitat drew our attention to the Turbo sculpture. The sculpture is aimed at those of us who made model cars and airplanes when were were little, laboriously popping out the tiny pieces and gluing them together. The sculpture from Jellio is inspired by those kits. I'm not sure I love it for a living room but I bet the guys from Autoblog are wishing for this under their Christmas tree. It sells for $2500 and there are only ten available.
