When I was growing up I harbored a great affinity for the James Bond films. And a personal favorite part of those movies for me, was seeing Q roll out some absurdly awesome gadgets that he filled some supercar with. Sadly, if you try to duplicate that by adding some side-winder missiles or an ejector seat of your own, you'll probably end up on some sort of watch-list.

Instead, maybe you should look into the RS82B DIY Remote Car Starter from Bulldog Security, an affordable way to add some novel gadgetry to your ride, without having to endure XZhibit laughing in your face.

When I opened up the RS82B I was able to ...There's more

If you're gonna be in South Florida on Saturday, June 25th, you've got to join me for a one-of-a-kind day of driving hot cars, eating great food, and learning how to create the absolute perfect date.

Infiniti and I are teaming up to take 15 lucky guys and girls on a multi-location road rally to the hottest date restaurants in South Florida. All while you get to test drive the latest and greatest luxury vehicles Infiniti has to offer. You'll slide behind the wheel of the new and green M Hybrid, the QX56, the FX, a hot G convertible, and be one of the first to drive the incredible, and incredibly powerful, new IPL G Coupe.

We'll start at the Ritz Carleton on Ft. Lauderdale Beach, then drive the scenic route to three different perfect date locations: YOLO in Ft. Lauderdale, Vic & Angelos in Delray Beach, down to Stork's Bakery and Café for dessert, then we'll head back over to the beach. Along the way you'll sample each restaurant's signature dishes, and I'll hit you with some dating tips and how-to's from my book, The Art of War for Dating. You'll also leave with a signed copy. (And I do not want to see that on eBay...)

You know you want in on this... For a shot at being one of the 15 Infiniti test drivers, hit us on Twitter @TheBachelorGuy and @InfinitiNews and convince us to take you along. Bonus points for including the hashhtag #InfinitiDate. (And by bonus points, I mean it's required.)

Next week, Infiniti and I will decide who gets to come along for the ride.

Let your neighbor have his expensive European sports car parked in the garage... this is 2011, and the real head turner to have is your own plane. And while we're not captains of industry, overpaid athletes, or rap stars riding on a G6, we can still have a sleek, sexy aircraft at the end of the driveway. And at our instant disposal.

Check out the ICON A5. A water-launched personal aircraft, with a folding wing design to let it stow comfortably in your garage, until you take it out to fly her to the islands for dinner. Or to the mountains for a ski weekend. Or to buzz the skyline at night. Try that in a Ferrari.

(Go here to see more videos of the ICON A5 in action.)

As soon as the weather warms, it'll be time to roll the bike out of the garage and get on the road. And taking your girl for a weekend ride is a lot more fun when you can talk to her during the ride. ("Wait, what?" I know, but just go with it.)

The new G4 PowerSet makes it easy not only to talk to her during the ride, but communicate with up to three other riders, take calls from your cell phone, or listen to music on your enabled MP3 player. And if you don't have one of those, it's got a built-in FM radio.

The handsfree, biker-friendly PowerSet with voice-recognition also lets you ...There's more

I spent this past weekend on Palm Beach test driving the radically new Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. Actually, I should say test driving the CrossCab and waving at the dozens of other drivers and pedestrians who were amazed by the sight of this two-ton, full-sized crossover without a roof. Who felt compelled to wave at it, jaws dropped, eyes glazed. (Plenty of pics after the jump.)

The first production SUV drop-top, the CrossCab definitely draws attention. (Even though my blonde, windswept driving partner, Aly, and I were looking pretty good, the car still drew more eyeballs.) And after driving it, there's good reason. Although the top-of-the Murano line CrossCab skews slightly more female than male, there's a lot for us guys to like about it. Especially if you're a family guy and want something less mini-vanish to haul your namesakes around in. And still take the entire Saturday foursome to the course for 18.

While it won't be hitting your local showroom floor until next month, here are some of the key things you'll want to know about the CrossCab:

Eyeball
There's no question the CrossCab is a head turner. Unless you're a regular at custom car shows, the sight of an SUV rolling topless is going to grab your attention. A couple of people asked if it was really a production car.

If you're familiar with the regular Murano, the only thing you'll see that matches is the front end. The rest is similar, but ...There's more

Last week I reluctantly handed over the keys to the 2011 Camaro LS with the RS appearance package Chevy gave me to drive for a week. (Pictured above.) To say that thing is fun to drive is like saying Charlie Sheen likes winning.

Now, it's not nearly as much fun as the 8-Cylander SS I got some wheel time in a couple of months ago, but it definitely beats the hell outta driving your average six-banger. And the car definitely turns heads. I took it to the Daytona 500, and race fans actually saluted and waved at the car. That was a first for any car I've test driven.

Besides the sheer fun of driving it, my two favorite things about the car were the heads-up display (annoying at first, then heavily relied upon), and the graphic on the interior trunk release, instructing you what to do, should you find yourself locked in a Camaro trunk. (that pic, and more, after the jump.)

Here's what else I thought:

Eyeball:
The car turns heads like its much more expensive cousin, the Corvette, or a six-figure Italian sports car. Everyone wanted to see it. And women wanted to ride in it. It's got a low, sleek look coupled with a seriously aggressive front end, and a rear end wider and firmer than JLo's.

Add in the RS package (20-inch front and rear wheels, special head- and tail-lamps, rear spoiler) and the twin black stripes running down the middle of the Inferno Orange metallic paint job, and, like one guy said to me when I parked next to him, "That is the only color for that car. That's the one."

Balls:
The Camaro comes in three trim lines: The 6-cylinder LS and LT, and the ...There's more

We're finally on the final push of the Game On blogger road trip in the Chrysler 200. My boys Tom and Gerardo from Bullz-Eye.com are handling the anchor leg, and are apparently stranded in Houston in an ice storm, unable to get the 200 to Dallas. And my flight is delayed 8 hours. Come on, Jerry Jones, you spent over a billion on the stadium... can't you make a phone call?

You can also watch all the videos at Facebook.com/Chrysler. Like the one below of the second leg of the road trip, when Phil and Fred from Gunaxin.com take over from me and my buddy Adam. What I really want to know is how Phil got to ride with a pair of hotties, while we got stuck with Dan and Mo? (No offense Dan and Mo.) I'm thinking Phil's got a better agent. I want to renegotiate my deal...



I'll also be tweeting live from the Big Game, so make sure to follow me @thebachelorguy -- or watch the Twitter Widget over there on the right side of the page. Again, my prediction is: Green Bay 21 - Pittsburgh 17.

As you know, I'm part of Chrysler's "Blogger Game On Road Trip" to the Super Bowl in Dallas, along with the guys from Bullz-Eye.com, BroBible, Gunaxin and others. (Post)

Sure, they flew us to exotic cities like Detroit, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, put us up in hotels and fed us like we were going to the electric chair, and gave us tickets to the Super Bowl, but you have a chance to win a whole lot more.

One lucky football fan will win The Ultimate Football Fan Package – complete with a 55-inch, 3D TV; BluRay Home Theater System; an Xbox gaming system; an iPad; DirectTV with Sunday Ticket for a year; the Ultimate Outdoor Grill; Free pizza for a year, and a whole lot more. It's a total prize package worth $10,000. And I'm not eligible to enter... but you are, and here's how to get in on it:
Go to Facebook.com/get_your_game_on, then:

As I mentioned in a previous post, I spent the better part of last week weaving my way through the midwest in the 2011 Chrysler 200 on the first leg of the Blogger Game On Road Trip to Dallas. We had the first leg: Detroit to Pittsburgh. [Quick interruption for the legal stuff I am required by law to tell you: "In accordance with the FTC Guidelines, I am disclosing that my time, travel and accommodations have been compensated by Chrysler Corp. for my participation in the Blogger Game On Road Trip campaign. Although I have a material connection to Chrysler Corp., any publicly stated opinions of Chrysler Corp. and their products remain my own." Damn right they do. Now back to the post]

That's right, I said the 200. The rental-car-fleet staple Sebring finally got the axe, and the Two-Double-Zero is taking its place in the lineup.

Take a look. Quick first impressions? Mine were that is was "nice," but didn't have the grab-you-by-the-short-ones styling of its big brother, the 300. Sensible for the mid-sized sedan crowd, not bold enough for the "will I get laid because of it" crowd. But then the first group is Chrysler's target, so spot on. (Plus they just announced there will be a drop-top version coming.)

In my ride with me was my buddy Adam. Known him since high school, and he seriously needed time away from the wife and three kids. Plus, he drives a Town & Country around daily, and if that's not enough of a reason to get him in the 200, I don't know what is. In the other 200 rolling alongside us through the snow-covered roads was Dan Stoner from Autoculture.org,and his buddy Mo. Two of the funniest guys you'll ever met, and perfect road companions. That's us below.

Andy Love, Head of Chrysler 200 Brand Marketing, met us at the Chrysler Museum in Detroit, and (reluctantly) handed over the keys. Along with a few other things we'd need on the trip. Check out the vid below to see what he gave us. (And I have since apologized to Andy for the contents of the glove box upon the car's return. But that's another post entirely...)



I will say that my impressions of the 200 changed the minute I got in the car. You can't see it in that video, but when they gave us the green light to hit the road, and I put my foot on the gas, the 200 took off. Was a little embarrassing ...There's more

You may have noticed that my posts have been light so far this week. (Read: non existent.) That's because I've been in Detroit at the North American International Auto Show in lovely downtown Detroit with Chrysler to check out their new vehicles. (Complete reviews to follow.)

But before I fly home to sunny, warm and snow-free South Florida, I am test driving a Chrysler 200 (pictured above), from Detroit all the way to Pittsburgh, with my buddy Adam riding shotgun, to watch the Steelers take on the Ravens this Saturday.

Along the way we'll be stopping at the Duesenberg Museum in Indiana, then at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton. Then, a few weeks later, we'll fly to Dallas for the Super Bowl, where we'll be partying and tailgating until the (insert NFC champs here) take on the (insert AFC champs here). We'll mic'd for sound, wired for video, and followed 24/7 by a film crew, and the whole thing will be viewable on Chrysler's Facebook page and YouTube channel.

And I'll be tweeting live from the road, so follow @thebachelorguy -- or watch the Twitter Widget over there on the right side of the page -- to get live updates on what's going on over the next three days, and view pics I'll be taking along the way. You should also follow @chryslerautos and search the hashtag #200Trip.

Trust me, you'll want to catch it all. Let's just say I'll probably never be allowed back in any of those states...
