I personally do not like Hyundai vehicles before I saw this one and I probably like only this one for now. While it’s unlikely to appear at dealerships anytime soon, theHyundai Zombie Survival Machine is certainly ready for any undead action that comes its way. Based on the Elantra Coupe, it features a custom zombie plow — complete with spikes — out in front, armored window coverings, a roof hatch, a trunkfull of weaponry, floodlights in the front and back, spiked all-terrain tires, wheels with spikes for clipping nearby walkers, and an all-important CB radio system. After all, you don’t really expect your cell phone to work during the end times, do you?

Take your on-water experience to new heights — literally — with the Jetovator ($9,000) connects to the jet unit on your personal watercraft using a 40 hose, and offers simple-to-use controls to let you rise 30 feet above the water, dive up to ten feet below, and zoom along at up to 25 mph, all while your buddy driving the jet ski looks up in envy while you are singing: “I feel I can fly” .

DEATH WISH COFFEE

Some people like it “STRONG”. While it’s not as dangerous as the name might seem, Death Wish Coffee ($20) is serious stuff. Two times as powerful as your typical coffee shop cup, it’s made from beans with an especially strong amount on caffeine, roasted to a medium-dark level for a strong flavor, and then ground to a specific level for maximum potency.

Tired of using the software DJ on your laptop? If you’ve got a couple of iPhones or iPod touches laying around, you can get a more tactile experience from the Philips Mini DJ System( $470). This shiny, oversized boombox features dual rotating docks for Apple’s smaller devices, with a channel fader for mixing the two sources together. Other features include 300W of total power, a 3.5mm input for other audio sources, two 5.25-inch woofers and two 2-inch tweeters, an integrated dynamic lighting system, an FM radio, dual microphone inputs with volume and echo controls, an LCD display, a remote control, compatibility with the optional djay app, and integrated handles. Or you could just use djay, an iPad, and an Apple TV — totally up to you

The toys are surprisingly evolving into awesomeness. The Nerf N-Strike Elite Hail-Fire Blaster ($40) packs eight quick reload clips that rest in a rotating ammo rack, this Elite Dart-firing monster holds up to 144 rounds, and offers the ability to hit targets up to 75 feet away, two tactical rails for accessorizing, and a special acceleration trigger that activates a motor for semi-automatic firing. Ready for the Nerf Wars.

SPY HAWK

Ever thought of taking a look around you without going there with hidden cameras for your home. You can be using the Spy Hawk ( $400) for that purpose too in a quite effective manner. This unique RC glider sports a built-in 5 megapixel camera that streams a live video feed back to the 3.5″ LCD on the controller, which also holds an SD card for recording your flights. Of course, all of that isn’t much good if you can’t keep the thing in the air, which is where the intelligent autopilot comes in — fly it up to the required height, switch it one, and a built-in gyroscope will work to keep it level, even in gusty winds.

I feel this is an especially useful gadget for rescue operations for situations similar to one in Uttaranchal recently. Surverying can be done using planes like this and upon location of people, rescue copters can be called in.

After Man of Steel here is the Car of Steel. The Conquest Evade($580,000) means nothing but business. Built on a Ford F550 Super Duty chassis, this tank-like luxury vehicle offers a commercial-grade air ride suspension in the front and rear, 360-degree, roof-mounted, joystick-controlled searchlights, 2+2 limousine-style seating, laptop trays, a third sunroof, an unarmored skin made from an aluminum-mild steel blend, handles machined out of solid aluminum, and a steering wheel, hinges, running boards, and even the key machined from solid stainless steel
