Get your Jeep or Bronco holiday-ready with Mek’s “ugly sweater” vehicle armor

Protect your rig on the trail while adding a healthy dose of Clark Griswold-approved holiday cheer.

Your beer needs a koozie; your phone needs a case; and your dog needs a sensible jacket to go out on the cold. So it only makes sense to properly wrap your vehicle, too. Mek Magnet recognizes this need with its lineup of removable “vehicle armor,” including an all-new “Ugly Sweater” edition just in time for the holidays.

These entirely unnecessary, limited-edition wraps are available in Black & White, Green & White, Red & White, or (my personal favorite), Original Ugly Sweater — a horrendous mix of red, green, and white that would’ve made Clark Griswold proud. Every kit also includes brightly colored holiday lightbulb decals to bedazzle your vehicle’s new sweater with an extra layer of hideous.

Like all of Mek Magnet’s removable armor, it’s made for SUV and truck drivers looking to add serious off-road protection to their vehicle’s paint. The side and optional hood panels help fend off “pin-striping” on brushy and overgrown trails. Depending on the vehicle make, the panels are constructed from either thick magnetic rubber (for steel body panels) or lightweight ballistic resin with what the company calls “Nano-Hold Technology” (for aluminum body panels). The latter can be removed, washed, and reapplied up to 200 times. Once installed correctly, they’re weatherproof and designed to stay put in almost any conditions, including rain, mud, dirt, locust swarms, and more.

Mek Magnet’s Holiday Edition “Ugly Sweater” removable armor is available now for select Jeep and Ford Bronco trims, starting at $548. But they’re wildly popular with limited production runs and sell out fast. So, if you want one, it’s best to order now.

Porsche

A Porsche is one of the most recognizable cars on the road. You always know when you are looking at one. So, it stands to reason that people love them, right? Of course they do. But loving a car and knowing how to drive one are very different. What is it that Ja Rule said in The Fast and the Furious? “We know a few things. And one of the things we knows is, it isn’t how you stand by your car, it is how to drive your car. You better learn that.” How do you learn to drive a Porsche? At the Porsche Track Experience, which has offered programs on everything from a single-day basics class up to a three-day advanced course.

Now, the team behind PTX is expanding into new offerings for the car.

The next evolution of the sports car: Porsche redesigns an icon
City, Car, Transportation

Authenticity. It is what we are looking for nowadays as consumers. Thirty years ago, we looked for brand names. We strived for status and letting all those around us see that what we wore, where we lived, where we dined, and finally, what we drove, symbolized our success in life. Then all of that started to stumble, and every industry felt the recession. Of course, the recession was temporary, but the effects of it were not. What we started to look for after that was something real. We realized that stuff…was just stuff. Now, when I look at cars, or suits, or restaurants, I ask myself: What is this going to make me feel?

That is what the new Porsche Mission S does; it makes me feel like vintage New York and the upstate escape.
