Loki goes huge and weird with triple-axle adventure camper bus

More often than not, large off-grid adventure rigs are rugged hunks of utilitarian heavy machinery outside, luxurious glamping retreats inside.

But it is, inevitably, too late: there is no putting normal back when it never existed in the first place. Almost all fiction involves characters trying to fix or improve their world. But only one genre targets…

Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week: $450 AWD go-kart

Like many of the quirky electric vehicles I find for the Awesomely Weird Alibaba Electric Vehicle of the Week series, this fun-looking electric go-kart is a bit oddly proportioned.
