Half Mini Cooper, half racing chair... all awesome

Filed under: Etc.

Most people probably describe themselves as casual gamers, but then there are the guys who stand in line for two days to buy a new title and call in sick for a week as they immerse themselves in it. If that's you when it comes to racing games like Forza and Gran Turismo, this gaming chair probably fits your lifestyle.

Yes, it's made from the front end of an old Mini Cooper. The super-seat features a racing wheel and three proper pedals, but that's just the beginning. It also boasts a pair of speakers connected to an iPod dock and a 500-watt amp, a mini fridge, an under-seat vibration pad, and a smoke machine. Sick. But it doesn't come cheap:the chair's price tag is $13,000.
