Coolest thing you'll see all day, Jerry Seinfeld's new season 7 premiere of Cars and Coffee, with a Petty Superbird and Will Ferrell in the passenger seat, plus a 69 Camaro, Steve Martin, and Pres Obama

Also, Garry Shandling, Kathleen Madigan and Sebastian Maniscalco, plus a 63 split window,

After Obama cited Seinfeld as one of his favorite comedians on Maron�s podcast, Seinfeld jokingly suggested that his production team should reach out to the White House. The executive producer of �Comedians in Cars� did just that.

�This was an opportunity to pull back the curtain for Americans on life in the White House,� the White House said in a statement. �The president and Jerry had a unique, candid conversation that focused largely on the lighter side of the presidency.�

�It was out-of-body for me,� Seinfeld says by phone afterward. �I�m not a guy who likes honor. In fact, I hate any kind of honoring. That I get to be a comedian � that�s the honor. But this was an honor: that [Obama] was okay with me, that he trusted me to do some comedy with him in the real White House.�

Episodes are estimated to cost roughly $100,000, with guests being paid in cash and the initial raw shoot lasting on average three-and-a-half hours, which is then edited over a two-week period down to a 12�20 minute episode. The process uses a lean production staff, involves a minimum of network interaction, and is designed as an edited and unscripted talk show without an audience that can be comfortably watched on a smart phone.

Prior to development of the series, Seinfeld was told by leading social network advisers, including those at Facebook and Yahoo, that a show length exceeding five minutes had little chance of success on the web. Howard Schultz, coffee magnate and Chairman of Starbucks, turned down the opportunity to sponsor the show. Acura eventually sponsored the show, giving Seinfeld creative license with creating the commercials and product placements.

Caterpillar Sixty silver and gold models were made for the 60th anniversary of the 1931 tractor

Above is a 1/12th scale model 

this model of the Diesel Sixty tractor was released in 1991 in a limited number of only 500 world-wide to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first Caterpillar Diesel Sixty.  It has been made of sterling silver and gold plated metal and bears a real diamond in the radiator cap. One was stolen from a Cat dealer in England, in 2009, and they felt it was worth 53,000 pounds. Far more than the 12 thou this is going for on Ebay http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/staffordshire/7829736.stm

Which was something I found when trying to find this seemingly plated 1925 model

Which might be the finished version of the 1/5th scale model at http://scalecaterpillar.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html because there are some obvious differences, like the front bumper and intake manifold
