On October 12th, Motorati put two SL replicas of real life vintage cars up for sale at the sum of 100,000L each. All proceeds would go to benefit the Electronic Frontier Foundation. After only two days, both vehicles sold! While I think this is wonderful, I can't help but feel it is overshadowed by their claim. They would have been fine saying that it was one of the most expensive.

Unfortunately this just isn't the case. When will companies learn to fact check before they make a claim like that? Not only is it not the most expensive, nor the second most, but it's also not the most expensive virtual car to benefit a non-profit. If they had comments enabled on their blog, someone might be able to inform them of their mistake.

As it happens, I know the anonymous owner of the actual titleholder. They purchased a limited edition Dominus Shadow during Relay For Life 2006 for a whopping 600,000L! I believe the runner up purchased their limited edition RFL 06 Dominus Shadow for around 400,000L. Congratulations to all of the lucky owners of these vehicles. Now if everyone would just ease up on the bigger, better, first, most ...

I saw this image of a Monster Truck Rally in Second Life over at www.3PointD.com and immediately thought this is what Second Life was really created for. You may have thought that it was for social interaction with people thousands of miles away. You may have thought it was created as a platform for self expression. You were wrong. In only one screen shot Second Life became the place to go when you want to drive a big truck fast, catch air with ease, and crush smaller less fortunate cars under your giant Goodyear radials.

What genius created this Monster Truck bliss? Well if you read the title you already know (cheater) it is Pontiac. That's right, they still exist and still build excitement. Despite the fact that everyone drives Japanese imports now. Not only that, but they are forward thinking enough to have created a Second Life island, Motorati, along with Millions of Us. They also have a website to go along with it. Which I think is the only place on the Web you can find a picture of a Furry in a Monster Truck.
