Automotive
Time for the affluent to get out their check books: the Volvo XC90 T8 Excellence is finally here. Clocking in at $104,900, this SUV is the most expensive Volvo has ever produced. This newfound luxury branding has shown that Volvo can confidently compete with other high-end manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lexus.
Last week we showed you the spy shots of a new BMW M5 that were floating around the internet, and while those are great and all, they don’t hold a candle to some good Nürburgring video.
This weekend, RWB’s Akira Nakai built a monster Porsche 964 in our Brooklyn Studio. Fortunately for you, we recorded every single step for your viewing pleasure.
Gear
Digital cameras are great but they're more fragile than Kanye’s ego. Thankfully, Olympus has released the TG-870 waterproof camera for all your aquatic expeditions. Capable of traveling to depths of 50 feet, the TG-870 is perfect for a day on (and below) the boat.
Keeping your coffee warm during a long drive is pivotal for one’s sanity. To help with this necessity, Yeti Coolers has come out with the 20oz Rambler Tumbler. Capable of keeping coffee warm for insane periods of time—up to 12 hours by some accounts—this cup will quickly become your new best friend.
Lifestyle
Today’s beer pick takes us to Central Waters Brewing Company in Amherst, Wisconsin. This small craft brewery has focused distribution in the Wisconsin area but the coasts are occasionally blessed with some of their heavily sought-after brews. If you're in the mood for a world-class imperial stout, Black Gold is the beer for you.
Finding a pair of high quality but affordable pants is close to impossible, so today we proudly introduce you to Jomers. With a wide variety of limited-release styles, Jomers is the perfect place for someone looking to pick up some sharp slacks on the cheap.
