Every week we sift through a truly amazing amount of “stuff” in the dozen or so hours we spend online—you know, the time spent not driving sweet cars. A lot of the cool stuff we find has to do specifically with new cars, naturally, but there’s also a huge amount of awesomeness that doesn’t completely fit in the normal Winding Road world. Once, we were in the habit of simply reading, watching, or talking amongst ourselves about this web detritus, but recently we thought it might be a good idea to start sharing it with you all. Thus, The Hot List.
Read, enjoy, and comment. If you happen to know of something that you think would make for a good inclusion on next week’s list, drop us a line at [email protected].

Remember Otis? Neither do we, but we do remember Jay-Z and Kanye destroying a Maybach with various power tools and rearranging the body panels in, um, interesting ways. Now the monstrosity is getting auctioned off for charity, only the mega rich need apply.
Because nobody really wants to read an analog clock anymore, get the coolest digital one ever made. This sleek and futuristic, yet retro design basically works with any apartment, and is practical and stylish to boot.
