Red Bull F1 Car Tears Through NYC’s Lincoln Tunnel

In BRAND, Cars, Gear, Lifestyle, Red Bull / 17 August 2012 / 0 comments

Former Formula One driver David Coulthard drives the Red Bull Racing Running Show Car through the 1.5 mile Lincoln Tunnel, which connects New York and New Jersey. Coulthard had loads of horsepower (and no gridlock) on his side, so he no doubt set the record for the fastest-ever commute through the tunnel. The Formula One team is in New York City this week with the high-revving demo car around the tristate area. Somewhere Vin Diesels ears are ringing. Next season the Grand Prix of America is expected to race through the streets of Weehawken, NJ, right across the Hudson River with NYC as a backdrop. Red Bull Racing decided to take advantage of some free summer time by taking a joy ride right around the corner of its future venue. Everything you need to know about the 2013 Grand Prix in New Jersey Sebastian Vettel was in New York a couple of months ago for some hot laps of the New Jersey circuit and to make an appearance on “Late Show With David Letterman.” This time, Red Bull Racing ambassador David Coulthard is behind the wheel.
Awolnation- Kill Your Heroes Music Video

In AWOLNATION, Music / 17 August 2012 / 0 comments

The Roosevelts favorite band, Awolnation, just released the video for their new single “Kill Your Heroes”. Can’t help but think of Weezer’s “Buddy Holly” for this retro Mr. Rodgers-esque intro. The song itself is one of the more catchier songs on their new album, “Megalithic Symphony”. Check out the video and try not to hmmmm the tune all weekend.

The Most “90′s” Music Video Ever Created

In Music / 17 August 2012 / 1 comment

I found this gem while updating our Music Videos From the 1990′s board on Pinterest. Steps – “5,6,7,8″ has it all. A Jock Jamz style beat. A fiddle. A sweet RAV4 looking car. Girls line dancing in bikinis. A bro with Zachery Ty Bryan hair wearing an open button down. Quads on the beach. Andy Samberg’s twin brother. The blatant attempt to create a new wedding reception dance craze to compete with Macarena. Only reason this song didn’t completely take off is because a UK band singing a techno country dance song makes absolutely no sense at all but it’s still the best. music video. ever.
