Now sure, this is probably not the CES post that you were expecting to see — but please, just indulge us for a moment. The story goes like this, we have been overwhelmed with gadgets and technology over the past week and well, seeing this sitting on the show floor at CES was a really more »

The car that was made famous by Back to the Future is coming back in the future. The DeLorean Motor Company will be bringing the iconic car back to life and modernizing its insides for today’s environmentally friendly audience. A DeLorean that runs on electricity will be sold starting in 2013. It also won’t be cheap to be green and retro-stylish. The electric DeLorean will be sold between $90 and $100,000.

Ford is trying so hard to have its Sync take off and become mainstream. For the first couple of years I was like any other person and said, “Cool feature, not gonna go out of my way to buy it.” A lot of people agreed with me too that Sync was just not a selling more »

Long lines at the airport. Flights delayed or canceled. Increased security making the wait longer and figuring out “Am I allowed to bring this bottle of shampoo or will it be considered a weapon?” I mean, it’s not even like they give us the free drinks and snacks anymore to make up for all the inconveniences. Traveling by air has lost the allure for many, and often the wish is that we could have simply done the trip by our own car. If it wasn’t so impractical mileage-wise that is. Well, the Terrafugia Transition may just be the genie in your tired-of-airports bottle.

There have been hints and rumors of it coming, and now it arrives…the flying car. Nope, no joke. The Transition is a two-seater automobile that in just thirty seconds can transform into an actual plane that goes 115 mph for up to 450 miles. On the road, it is front wheel drive and can go highway speeds, and it fits in a normal size garage when in “auto” mode. Both modes run on standard unleaded gasoline that you can buy at any gas station.

Okay, you’re driving a rented car around a city you probably don’t know. Unless you have a GPS, you’re trying to figure out how to get where you want to in an unfamiliar environment. What’s missing to add to your anxiety? It has to be Spongebob Squarepants’ laugh, of course.

Avis Budget Group is using AT&T’s new CruiseCast to offer satellite TV and radio to car renters.

The idea of having hydrogen powered cars is nothing new: the theory has been around pretty much since World War II. However, there have always been several flaws in the practicality of using hydrogen as a source of power. It is expensive and energy consuming to make it usable. Hydrogen is also not widely available, the batteries are bulky, the cars are expensive and they usually look horrible. So why has Honda made a hydrogen supercar?

The FC Sport revealed at the LA Auto Show is the pinnacle of design and hydrogen technology, combining the two in some environmentally chic blender in a way that has a product that can still classify as a supercar. This is, as Honda so aptly put it, “a glimpse of the future of the supercar.”

So, Junior just got his license and you’re worried about how fast he’s going to be ripping around the neighborhood, huh? Well, Ford just may have the solution you’re looking for. They’re coming out with the new MyKey and it is aimed to help parents both monitor and limit certain areas of their children’s driving habits.

With MyKey, drivers won’t be able to go over 80 miles an hour, and a warning chime will go off at 45, 55 and 65 miles per hour. Kids won’t be able to turn on the radio until they are nice and safe and secure by fastening their seat belt. Even once they can turn the radio on, there isn’t much danger of them blasting it, since the volume is limited to 44 percent of the maximum allowed.

So, most of us probably already use the easy route of auto locks for our vehicle and the familiar “beep-beep” as we walk away is nothing new. The thought of actually having to fumble around and (gasp!) insert a key in the lock is an almost foreign concept these days. But the new smart key offers oh so much more than that.

From as many as several hundred yards, drivers are able to send information to their vehicle to set their seat position to just where they like it, program the radio to their favorite station, even exchange navigation destinations downloaded from a computer. The key has a mini-screen which can display information like whether the vehicle doors are locked, if the alarm is turned on, how your tire pressure is doing, and whether you soon need to stop for gas. Nice little reminder for those who tend to forget that rather important little tidbit.

What else does this thing do? Find out after the break.

Product: Jabra SP700.Price and Availability: $99 out nowPros: Doesn’t make you look like a tool. Easily answer calls in your car. Makes not upgrading to the expensive new cars “tech package” a lot easier to live with. Sound is great, surround sound through speakers is even better.Cons: no air of superiority that comes with a headset (wait, maybe that should be in the Pros?)Overall: I’ve already ordered two for my cars. I give it 10/10

If you are like me, you’ll go to almost any length no to wear your bluetooth headset. An incoming call when I am in the car sends me fumbling around my front seats for the tiny headset, the awkward install into my ear and then my eyes are back on the road. Surely that is safer than just answer the phone?
