Trailer For Tron 2 Reboots Bad 80s Flashbacks With New Lightcycles
A few nuggets of automotive goodness have already seeped out of the nerdry that is this week's Comic-Con, but nothing is getting us excited more than this quick peek at some in-movie footage of the trailer from the new Tron 2 movie (alternately called Tr2n or Tron 2.0). While it's a grainy and distant bootleg movie — the footage still looks simply stunning. The lightcycles? They look epic. Jeff Bridges? We'll agree with our gadget-obsessed brother site when they say he looks like some badass version of "The Dude." We're totally sold on this one. Let the lightcyclegasm begin.

Dutch Designer Creates Trailer-Based Porta-Park
The tent-attachment option for the Aztek let you bring some camping luxury on your travels, but what if you need to bring an entire park with you? What then, smart guy? Kevin van Braak has rigged up an old trailer so that it unfolds into a small-but-serviceable park, complete with landscaping and a firepit. We're not sure how well this thing would hold up under any sort of serious travel, but we like the Sawzallistic fervor on display here. [kevinbraak.com], via [designklub]

Vintage Trailers Brought Back To Life At Former Air Force Base
Having lived in the notorious Irvine Meadows West trailer park, which was all about Project Trailer Hell vintage tin, I can state that Airstreams pretty much suck for any sort of extended habitation. The cylindrical shape means that the interiors are cramped and storage areas are unusable. However, they sure look cool, and they're great for road trips. UDMan has discovered an operation in New York that restores old Airstreams- and other vintage trailers- on a former Air Force base. Make the jump to see all the photos and read UDMan's description.More »

DOTS-O-Rama Sunday: Studebaker Cruiser, With Bonus Boler Trailer
Even though 1964 was the last model year for Studebakers built in the United States, Canadian production continued through 1966. I'm guessing this Lark Cruiser, which Project Car Hell Song creator Jack Astro photographed while visiting Victoria, B.C., is a '65, but it could be a '64 or a '66. Jack also shot a pretty cool Mars Base-style Boler trailer in the same lot; make the jump to see the complete gallery.

Bruce Wayne's Subtle Lamborghini
As if Lamborghini didn't already inherit enough Bruce from their parents at Volkswagen/Audi, now the supercar brand is associating itself with a different type of Bruce. Yes, we're talking about Batman's, or rather Bruce Wayne's, Murcielago. It's a nice subtle daily driver— well, compared to the Tumbler. This inevitably leads to the question of who would win in a race: Batman in his Murcielago, or Iron Man in his R8?

New Speed Racer Trailer Shows Regenerating Tires And Speed As A Kid
Here we have the latest trailer for the live-action Speed Racer movie. It drops some backstory and provides our first insight into what made Speed Racer a demon on wheels. We're still not that impressed by the Wachowski brothers' extravaganza, based on these early looks. However, there's definitely some kinda cool stuff going on with Speed's famous set of wheels. For example, this trailer shows the Mach 5's ability to replace its own shredded tires while flying through the air. I bet Tony Stewert is really jealous right now.More »
