Today we bring you the crashes, outtakes and foibles that went into it's production. Enjoy the infectiously addictive soundtrack!

Two days worth of shooting went into Ken Block's infamous Gymkhana practice clip, so it's safe to assume a large amount of glorious footage had to go to the cutting room floor - no matter how hoontacular. Thankfully, the guys over at DC Shoes and Mad Media knew we'd have a hankerin' for some more tire shredding and assembled a compilation clip of everything that didn't get into the first lineup. Sit back with a tire dust whippet and enjoy.

<![CDATA[Incase Two-in-One iPod Charger Works in Car, Home]]> Wow. It's only taken a couple decades for someone to make a dual-purpose charger—yes, a charger capable of 12V DC and AC charging. This 2-in-1 from Incase is designed for the iPod or iPhone and can easily plug into a 12V DC outlet for charging your gadgets on the road, but it can also be taken in and used in a standard AC outlet. Holy convenience, Batman!

The price is $40, and as Jason Chen over at Gizmodo notes, that's is the price of two cheap chargers by themselves. But Incase's combo is all about convenience and luxury. Now, let's see one gold-plated and shaped from carbon fiber! [Gizmodo]

<![CDATA[It's Good To Be The Mayor! Automotive Rhythms Pimps DC Mayor William Anthony's 2006 Cadillac STS]]>

Yeah, we know this happened at the beginning of this year, but we're only now hearing about dis here tightness. Apparently, just in time for the 2006 DC Auto Show back in January, the DC-area customizers at Automotive Rhythms "flipped" D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams' new whip, an '06 Caddy STS. Now, while most mayors we know go for bling rides, in this era of budgets being cut on the local level and high unemployment in our urban city centers, most are too afraid of hurting their street cred with the voters by letting it become the subject of a quick n' dirty MTV-style PMR episode. But not DC Mayor Anthony Williams, yo. He throws it down correct, right?
