Of Course Someone Had This Built

 
Things I’m not usually a big fan of are hearses. You probably aren’t, either. I can’t think of a time that I looked at a hearse and thought, “Wow, that’s a good hearse.” But this Maserati Ghibli—which is meant to be a flashy sedan for those among the living—it’s a good hearse.

This is one of three luxury hearses customized by Ellena srl Autotrasformazioni, an Italian company that provides fancy last rides for people. Both of its other models are from the Mercedes-Benz lineup, but the lines and flow of the Ghibli set it apart even from other wildly expensive sedans-turned-hearses. CarScoops has pictures of the real thing rather than just the rendering above, and it is beautiful. 

In order to go from sedan to hearse, the car got an obvious extension of its roof and back end. The rear axle had to be pushed back on the hearse version of the Ghibli in order to hold the weight of a casket, and CarScoops reports that it moved back by about a meter. The hearse is a diesel casket wagon with a V6 engine under the hood, an automatic transmission and—from the looks of other models by the company—an interior fancier than the hearse of anyone’s dreams. (Please don’t dream about hearses.)

Lefty Adding To His Lore

Phil Beats Ryder Cup Teammates in Closest to Pin With Righty Wedge

Phil Mickelson won a closest-to-the-pin contest on Wednesday.

But that's not all. The competition was in Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, and Mickelson won with a right-handed wedge. Remember, this is the guy known as "Lefty."

Mickelson and his seven Ryder Cup teammates put on Patriots jerseys and hung out on the field on Wednesday, as he and the rest of the crew bonded off the course as they prepare for the first round of the Deutsche Bank Championship, just outside of Boston, on Friday. And, just for fun, a hole was set up 78 yards away on the field, and players took aim using captain Davis Love's wedge.

Mickelson stuck his shot four feet away from the hole.

Lefty talked about the shot on Thursday, and he made sure his Ryder Cup teammates remembered who won.

Lego Pulled A Fast 1 On This Build

Full-Size 1964 Lego Ford Mustang Is Amazing But Hiding a Shameful Secret

That secret? It’s not all Legos– there’s an aluminum chassis under there! I mean, it’s not that big a deal really, but for some reason I always assumed these massive Lego sturctures were pure, uncut Lego.
