Designed for a race-boat establishment in Dubai, this Audi R8 inspired 29' catamaran will be powered by either a single biodiesel V10 or twin V8 gas engines. Dubbed the R8.8 Biocat, it is supposed to hit 110 mph in the water while looking like it can hit 200 mph parked.

Complete with Gullwing doors, the R 8.8 is no joke and a definite head turner.

This is the one Ralph needs to buy to match his R8.

 A study commissioned by a phallically named insurance company proves beyond all doubt that the unbridled roar of an Italian supercar turns women on but the soft purr of a fuel-efficient econobox doesn't stimulate anyone's MPG-spot. David Moxon subjected 40 men and women to the sounds of a Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari, then measured the amount of testosterone in their saliva. He found everyone had higher levels of the stuff — a measure of their arousal — after hearing the revving exotics, but the amount the women had was off the charts. The econobox, however, left everyone colder than a January day in Nome.

The study was commissioned by the ultra-exclusive British insurer Hiscox (we swear we're not making this up), which was curious to know how people respond to high-end luxury cars. "We knew owners of luxury cars felt a connection with the sound of their vehicles," says Steve Langan, managing director of the insurance company. "We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel when it comes to cars." To test the theory that high-performance cars get people hot, Moxon had 40 men and women listen to recordings of the three Italian exotics and a Volkswagen Polo. Everyone had significantly more testosterone after hearing the exotics, and all of the women were turned on by the Maserati.

The guys, on the other hand, were drawn to the Lamborghini. “We saw significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body, particularly in women," Maxon says, noting that even women who said they had no interest in cars were turned on. "Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a primeval physiological response.”

Earlier tonight I passed by Platinum VIP and bought an STD – but I like it! LOL. This is a new coil over setup that John's making and while the quality of the kit looks great….the name is a bit questionable but then again it's pretty damn hard to forget. So get yourself an STD and I'll follow up with some pictures once it's installed.

There's nothing like Boa Steakhouse delivered to the house. LOL! Lastnight I sat down with Patrick and Tahmoh to grub and let's just say that my fat ass was stuffed and loving life. Here's the plate……Lobster mash potato, spinach, onion rings and Porterhouse Steak.

To finish it off I had to take the cheese cake home and let's just say that that it murders the Cheesecake Factory.
