R2-D2 Projection Alarm Clock
When R2-D2 isn’t busy serving drinks on sand barges, repairing faulty hyperdrives and hanging out with prissy protocol droids, he likes nothing better than kicking back on the nearest bedside table and beaming the time on to walls and ceilings. It’s true. And it’s the reason why geeky gizmo makers have created the R2-D2 Projection Alarm Clock. Standing 6.5” tall, this...

“Have fun with KITT,” sniffed some AMG engineers when a group of Norwegians showed up at Germany’s Papenburg test track with a 1987 Trans Am. The smug smiles were quickly wiped off the faces of the Mercedes tuner crew when the ancient Pontiac’s practice laps were as fast as the AMG cars, and the F-Body wasn’t even working hard. Once warmed up, the 8.9-liter V8...
