Ship With Go-Kart Track Might Actually Convince us to go on a Cruise

We’ll just come right out and say it: we don’t really like cruise ships.

That’s not to say we take issue with cruise liners, but we don’t really enjoy going on them. There’s something about being ferried around and having your destinations picked for you that doesn’t really appeal to us, but you just might be able to convince us to go on the new Norwegian Bliss ship that is currently being built by Florida’s Norwegian Cruise Line.

Our interest in Norwegian Bliss stems from the fact that it will feature a huge go-kart track that spans two of the massive ship’s upper decks. The track is the first of its kind for any North American ship and will be joined by other theme park-like attractions such as a laser tag course, a water park, two pools and six infinity hot tubs. If you’re concerned that the go karts may smell up the outside areas of the cruise ship with the smell of burning fuel then not to worry – they’re electric!

“We have elevated Norwegian Bliss’s onboard experience to new heights,” Norwegian Cruise Line said in a statement. “bringing the best features from across our fleet plus exciting new first-at-sea activities like the largest race track and new dining concepts to create the ultimate cruising experience.”

Surprisingly, Norwegian Bliss isn’t the first of its cruise liners to feature a go-kart track. Its Norwegian Joy liner also featured a section for those that have been bitten by the racing bug, but Norwegian Bliss’ track will be 40 percent longer. If you’re into karting and need a vacation, we’ve found your mecca.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...
