Inside this “boys only” tin can, you will find a Wii, Playstation 3, two flat panel TV’s, two different surround sound systems, a man-friendly kitchen which features a microwave, coffee maker, and various liquor dispensers.

More entertainment is available in the mobile which comes from satellite TV, Internet access, and even a Blu-ray player.

There is a shower, but it doesn’t work. After all, real men don’t need to shower, but if they do, a sign on the mirror reminds men that “real men shower outdoors”. The actual shower is located outside, on the rear of the RV.

Outside is also where you’ll find a grill, fold-out Foosball table and dart board.

You will for sure be decked out man-style with this bad boy!

Cupcake Cars

For example, the cupcake car. This electric car runs on a 24 volt electric motor and battery and tops out at 7 miles per hour. These babies are actually for sale- if you want to spend $24,000. I think I would rather just eat a cupcake then drive one. Although, those hats they are wearing are real nice.
