Ask any science fiction enthusiast what's the most famous droid of all time and he will have only one answer: R2-D2. This astromech robot is famous for is cylindrical shape, it's beeping "voice" and has taken part in numerous pivotal battles that shaped Star Wars history.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could relive the famous attack on the Death Star using the force as guidance or defend Nabu from the Trade Federation, like padawan Anakin Skywalker? Of course, R2 needs to be a part of that and you need a phone charger so you can tell all your friends about.
A company called ThinkGeek has remodeled the droid into a USB phone charger, which fits neatly into the cup holder and comes with two charging ports, each delivering 2.1 Amps of power. The $50 gadget will plug into the cigarette lighter adapter and even rotates its head.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
