What’s the most incredible or unusual thing you might find in your backyard? Say you pick up a metal detector and find an old coin, or perhaps comes across an arrowhead. That’s all well and good, but nothing even comes close to what two California boys found in 1978. Because these kids found a Ferrari ! This is the front yard in a Los Angeles neighborhood where the vehicular treasure was discovered in early February of 1978. A new family had just moved into the house when their two boys struck gold. The family called the authorities, and an excavation began. It turned out that the car was actually an insanely valuable 1974 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS. The car had been poorly mummified with towels and cloths. It was obvious that someone wanted to come back for it. But who? And why did they bury it? After an investigation by the police, the nefarious reason as to why it was down there was discovered. The previous owners hired criminals to drive the car into the ocean so they could claim the ins

Snakes these days usually are pretty small. The largest, by mass, is the green anaconda. The longest is the reticulated python. Titanoboa would have eaten them as a snack. Measuring over 12 meters in length, it was the size of T. Rex and its diet usually consisted of giant crocodiles and turtles that shared its territory. Thankful for Tyrannosaurus, Titanoboa lived right after the dinosaurs’ extinction, ruling the earth just as the dinosaurs did before it. via: 1

It might look like an enormously generous fairground prize. But no goldfish bowl in the world could contain this catch. The orange koi carp weighs 30lb – the same as an average three-year-old girl – and is thought to be one of the largest of its kind ever . via: 1

The monster that makes this car move is a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 delivering 430 HP (321 kW). There’s more, as it can be fitted with a supercharger, which raises its output to a whopping 525 HP (391 kW) or even 624 HP (465 kW).

The 2011 Dodge Durango features two engine options: the standard fuel-efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and the available 5.7-liter HEMI engine with fuel-saving, Multi-displacement system (MDS) four-cylinder mode. Both engines feature variable-valve timing (VVT) and are available with all-wheel drive. In addition to great efficiency, the engines provide exceptional V-6 and V-8 towing capability with standard trailer sway control (V-8 – 7,400 lbs. and Best-in-class V-6 – 6,200 lbs.). When equipped with the HEMI® V-8, the 2011 Dodge Durango can tow more weight than a 24-foot boat and trailer.

Practically nothing you need and everything you want: a 411 horsepower 6.1-liter V8, four-wheel drive, a suspension that could take you to the Baja 1000 and a face that makes lesser trucks move to the right. Now, you can go all yuppie on the trails with available HID lighting, but it’s still just country vicious. Two of these suckers flank you, and you’re dead meat.
