Auto Review: BMW 1 Series M Coupe

June 8, 2011 / Paul Eide

From the minute the original BMW M3 came out it was one of the sleekest looking, best handling cars I’d ever driven. The M3’s engine was made for high speeds and swerving through urban or interstate traffic. The newest version, the 1 Series M Coupe, is now available for public consumption.

Unlike most souped-up engines, this BMW 3.0-litre straight-six is just there, murmuring gently, ready for the call in any gear and at any speed. This extraordinary, turbine-like urge is not at all like the old M3, with its hot cams and whirring chain drive, yet the M Coupé’s revs will climb to an astonishing 7,000rpm before the limiter cuts in. Your first overtaking manoeuvre is so ridiculously easy it’s hard not to laugh.

The Faux Hawk Won’t Die

June 3, 2011 / Paul Eide

Did anyone really believe the “Faux Hawk” would subsist this long? I remember the first time I saw it back in 2003 and at that time any person utilizing the style was subject to a lot of ridicule; it was like a built in cock (rooster) joke. But once David Beckham started rocking it, it spread like wildfire in a heavily wooded area thanks to a cigarette being flippantly discarded.
A quick description;

A variation of the “Mohawk” hair style. Hair is worm longer down the middle of the head and usually spiked with gel. Contrary to the traditional “Mohawk” style, hair is not shaved completely on the sides of the head.

Since it isn’t going anywhere, and thanks to the magic of the internet, you can give yourself a faux-hawk and watch the ladies swoon as if you were Jake Gyllenhaal.

How To Fade Your Hair

May 30, 2011 / Paul Eide

Fades are cool when done correctly, but when they aren’t “faded” they can look more like a bowl cut. Anyone can shave your head, but there is a fine art to a proper fade, one that your friends won’t text your other buddies about when your poorly cut head is turned. Here, that art is explored in step by step fashion. Don’t be the guy waltzing around this summer thinking your “self-fade” looks good; it doesn’t.

Sideburns Are Back Because They Never Left

May 23, 2011 / Paul Eide

Some of you are saying, “Paul, sideburns are dead ever since Luke Perry killed them in the 90’s.” And to you I say no one man is bigger than sideburns, just like no man can take credit for “inventing” them. That’s like saying Tom Selleck “invented” the moustache for his role on Magnum P.I. And contrary to those of you who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s when Dylan McKay was king, sideburns have been around much longer than the hit show Beverly Hills, 90210. Take a look at this link; and look at side burns through the ages all the way thru the present day.
