I see two things here:

1) Grass’ worst enemy and 2) Neighborhood envy at it’s finest.

If you own any more than 2 square yards of grass then mowing is a chore. Like any good man your desire to turn chores into sweet sweet fun is inherent and there’s no better way to make that happen than upgrading your gear. Perhaps throwing away your Snapper push mower and trading in for an a diesel powered 24 horsepower full-time 4wd with a 62″ wide blade deck is overkill, but it never hurts to know the best.

The X749 embodies all that’s wonderful about American grandiose. Everything from it’s heavy-duty robotically welded frame to accomodate a myriad number of attachments, shock resistant nodular cast iron front axel, four-wheel steering for tremendous maneuverability and less time on that damn push mower, two-function hydraulic control system to control peripheral equipment, 12v power outlet for your iPod or cellphone, six-position tilt steering wheel, and of course a cupholder.

Better yet, this is only a few of the features you’ll find on the John Deere x749. Go ahead, build your own, but don’t blame us when your 4.5hp Toro suddenly starts to look just a little… diminutive.

What this means to you: Suddenly living in New York doesn’t seem all that appealing. Maybe a Saturday jaunt up to Central Park is in order. (Ed: Pass on the weekly summer mowing, but I’m drooling at the prospect of putting some baseball field patterns in someone’s yard - at least once)

Cost: $13,429 @ John Deere

We’re not sure where to start with this thing. It conjures up nostalgic hot rod feelings, mixes them up with a pinch of superbike then mashes that with one major dallop of WTF.

We suppose that’s what you get when you mix a fiberglass body molded into a retro shape and throw in a 1250cc v-twin engine from Harley-Davidson. Attach a 5-speed transmission, requisite street-legal accoutrements, and a trunk. Yes, it has a trunk up front. [via]

Amphibious technology has been around for quite a long time, dating back to the propeller-powered Amphicar of the 1960s, but never before has there been a swimming vehicle that could compete with singular-purpose vehicles. Along came a British company called Gibbs with the intention to blow the competitors out of the water… literally.

$100 million in development and 60+ patents later, Gibbs technologies has proudly announced it’s third foray into the amphibious world with the intensely personal Quadski. Half-quad, half-jetski, all James Bond, the most significant feature is speed. It has the ability to blur the landscape at speeds exceeding 50 mph on both land and water.

More images after the jump.

What this means to you: With the ability to convert from land-mode to water-mode in about 5 seconds, you’ll never miss a change to make waves, on whatever terrain you choose. Maybe that’s why we hear they just landed a military contract.

Price: $16,000 (estimated) @ Gibbs

This is one of those instances where the product description best describes what you’re looking at. Read on:

“Aggressive headlights, like the eyes of a jungle cat set to pounce, powerfully supported by four wheels, with a lean, exciting waist and a very special rear section. The GG-Quad from Grüter + Gut exudes pride in being a unique vehicle, hungry for fast roads, with power that is abundant yet always reliably controllable. No vehicle can compare to the GG-Quad in any respect.

For all its beauty and exclusivity, the bodywork in no way detracts from the precise and meticulously executed technical features. On the contrary: it leads the curious eye to the carefully designed details. In the process, it not only meets the needs of high-tech aficionados but transforms this quad into an artwork on four wheels. The GG-Quad is always in the limelight and stirs emotions.”

Somewhere in between a classic motorcycle, a European movie and the future lies the Enertia.

A bike culturally and technologically appropriate to the current day.

Using a high output electrical motor charged through a regular outlet the Enertia bike powers itself to a top speed of 50 mph over a range of 45 miles on a single 3 hour charge. The electric drive train and carbon fiber monocoque chassis ensure very little maintenance over time. There are dozens of other details we’re not listing here, but let your imagination run wild with thoughts and just know they’re probably all included here.

What this means to you: If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere where this type of transportation is appropriate and safe (read: big cities), then the Enertia bike should be on your horizon.

$11,995 - $14,995 @ Enertia Bike
