I’m a bit astonished.
In view of this, my attention was drawn over the blog which I am currently reading right now.
Here is the quote about the vehicle I found at the site.
The Tiger, however, is a car I would be proud to own, and if its styling is any indication, then I think that
I know this is not new anymore, but still I want to blog about it. Pardon my being not the early-bird-kind, anyway as they say, its better late than sorry so here I go!
Honda had just launched a new ad campaign for their Accord based on Skydiving. You can look for the video at Youtube. The video itself actually doesn’t possess even the slightest indication of it being from Honda since it would merely allow users to go to DifficultIsWorthDoing.com. Once you go to this site, it will just appear to be a basic blog about skydiving but a wiser man would definitely observe that the Honda logo in the header as well as there is a build-up for the new Accord.
This is amazingly one of the best vehicle I’ve seen in my entire life..
Mean and green, exactly something that will allow your eyes to drool.
This model is known as the Scorpion which was created by Ronn Motor Company (RMC), and is expected to be created this fall perhaps by October or so. Unless your blind, you need not to wait for other to tell you how good looking this vehicle is since it is entirely a stunning car that possess a looks to compete with any exotic, but it’s the mechanics that are the real beauty.
This model is the living proof that environmentally friendly cars don’t have to be sluggish and disgustingly ugly. This car is a hybrid, but above anything else, it is run by hydrogen. Yes, you can let your eyes roll now! Goodness I really want to have this model!!! Actually, it runs on a 30-40% hydrogen/gasoline blend.
As anyone would know, almost all kinds of hydrogen cars do make use of fuel cells, a extraordinary but expensive system that should needs to be improved. In this method, hydrogen will enter the fuel cell in where it is electrochemically changed into electricity that is used to powers the car.
The specs are:
Price: $150,000 (estimate)
Engine: 3.5 liter V-6
Top Speed: 200+ mph
Horsepower: 450
Torque: 302 lb-ft.
0-60 mph: 3.5 seconds
Mileage: 40+ mpg
I really want to have one. I just hope my money would suffice enough to allow me to buy such a remarkable and I would say extremely gorgeous model! I can’t wait to see the actual model! I really could not wait!!!!!
PS: as much as I want to provide a picture, I cant find the one that I’ve seen before…my apology.
One of my friend gave me a Matchbox toys for a token and I love it. Somehow it had satisfies my cravings for vehicles. If I could not actually get one model then for sure I can buy this cute matchbox to enjoy the feeling of having a new collection.
Matchbox is a die cast toy brand currently owned by Mattel, Inc. Matchbox toys were so named because the original models were packed in boxes similar in size and style to boxes of matches. The series became so popular that the Matchbox name was once widely used by the public as a genericized trademark for all die cast toy cars measuring approximately 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) in length, regardless of brand. In the 1970s, Matchbox switched to the more conventional, plastic and cardboard "blister packs" used for other die cast cars such as Hot Wheels, although the box style packaging was re-introduced for the collector market in recent years, particularly successfully with the release of the "35th Anniversary of Superfast" series in 2004.
I remember the toy given to me by my dad when I am still young. I love reminiscing the past, it allows me to bring back to my ‘past-me’ someone who had been so brave in struggling to live a normal life despite the abnormalities of my being.
Thanks for the toy Ladee!
Rumors say that the new member of Ferrari will be called the Dino, which is aimed to be one of the most good-looking Ferrari’s ever made. Lets just wait and see the result after all, 2009 is just a year ahead. I hope its really going to be cheaper but without sacrificing the quality. Im itching here, I cant wait to see it!
JAY LENO TOLD
Intriguing. Come on, he must have been taking ‘courage supplements’ to talk this way. What do you think?
"It ain't that hard folks -- make better cars."—these are the same words dubbed by famous late-night television host and car collector. The hosts said that he believes that there aint nobody who builds trucks as competent as Americans do; he took Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado as examples. He also added that when it comes to performance, American make also lead the scene "The Corvette Z06 has 505 horsepower, comes with a big warranty, and can hit 200 miles per hour. It weighs almost exactly the same as a half-million-dollar Porsche Carrera GT and gets higher mileage - 26 miles per gallon," words that were exactly utter by Leno.
Conversely, he added that Americans are such a failure when making economy cars "In order to make the more expensive car more appealing,

Just in case you are thinking that Audi would stop creating good cars after the popularity brought by their Audi R8 then you better think again. Good for the company since they now want to create a newer and upgraded version of their R8 which they will call as the Audi RS8.
If you will put these two models side by side, the 2009 Audi RS8 will still projects a more influential twin-turbo V-10 engine that is longed to create 580 hp. Amazing, right? Come to think of this, the new model has110 hp more than the first thus you can expect to drive as you would do with a Lamborghini Gallardo. The new model is also expected to run the speed of over 200 mph and it can hit 60 mph in an inspiring time of 4.0 seconds. Whew!! I can now imagine myself riding this. But wait, of course any model that is able to create such power is expected to heat up easily, Audi has an answer to this since it is mounted with better and more advanced cooling components in order to prevent it from heating up and catching fire once it hit the street.
Let me clear it again, this model is expected to be release next year but I just cant wait..
If you are the type of person who would drool over limited edition cars or perhaps you just want to be noted on the street, then you must probably always on a search for supercar. Do you still remember the moment when Bugatti in 2007 planned to create an ultra-expensive vehicle? Tough luck since Pagani is also aiming for such with the whole new Zonda Cinque. You must not have heard enough about this vehicle but anyone who know this would love the fact that it is a street legal version of the new Zonda R.
So what does this car have to offer? MANY!
First thing first, it has a new carbon-titanium composite which was particularly designed for the Cinque by Pagani model itself. As expected, this material is much much lighter and tougher if compared to the carbon fiber. There is also a Cima sequential six speed, titanium and magnesium composite suspension and many new features. Now let’s go to the engine. It is mounted with 7.3 liter V12 that is skilled to pump out 678 stallions and 575 pound-feet of torque. Its highest speed falls on 217 mph.
Here are the SPECS:
Price: $1.5 million
Engine: 7.3 liter V12
Top Speed: 217 mph
Horsepower: 678
Torque: 575 pound-feet
0-60 mph: around 3.3 seconds

Cars come in wide range of colors. If you are in a car market to buy your dirivng machine, one of the most common problems you have to deal to is to choose your car color.
What is the color of your car? Mine is black, red, pink, beige and white.
The color of your ride depicts your personality. Read the list below and see if it really suits yours
Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who's an outsider or rebel.
Silver cars indicate someone who's cool, calm and slightly aloof.
Green cars can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.
Yellow cars signify someone who is idealistic and novelty loving.
Blue cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver.
Gray cars represent those who are calm, sober and dedicated to their work.
Red cars denote those who are full of zest, energy and drive and who think, move and
talk quickly.
Pink cars are chosen by gentle, loving and affectionate drivers.

controlled owners.
-The color of red agree to my personality of being a thinker though I’m not really that active.
-Pink agrees to my gentleness
-white is for status seeker and that’s ME!
-beige, no description.
Last time, I’ve posted about my encounter of a man who happens to meet an accident along the way due to his desperate attempt to use his cell phone while driving. In view of this, I decided to write about the common road accidents so people would be alerted on how to prevent these things from happening.
As simple as it may sound, people are aware that most of the time, this simple happening can lead to death. More and more people falls victim, each year the number of road accidents never seem to go down. It does not choose its victims; in fact much renowned personality had also suffered the same fate. Consider the case of Louis IV of
There are many underlying causes of road accidents; one is driving in the influence of alcohol which contributes partly to about 93% of crashes. Anyone knows the fact that driving and alcohol just can’t get along. Accidents due to alcohol results to about 100,000 accidents every year in
Fatigue is another factor for road accidents. Some signs to watch out for before attempting to drive which may indicate fatigue are heavy eyelids, a drifting vehicle that wanders over road lines, frequent yawning, misjudging traffic situations, varying vehicle speed for no reason, seeing things "jump out" in the road, or irritable and daydreaming. If you sense that you are having these kinds of problem then it is better to do the following:
· Take a break from driving at least every two hours.
· Get a good night's sleep before a long trip.
· Share the driving whenever possible.
· Avoid long drives after work.
· Avoid drinking before driving.
· Pull over and stop when drowsiness, discomfort or loss of concentration occurs.
· Find out whether any medicine you are taking may affect your driving.

Yesterday, I happen to come across an accident on the street although it is not something which means life and dead, I hurriedly cross the street to see what happened. It was a man on his late 40s, smiling like crazy after he loss track of his driving, telling people its ‘alright’ because he’s good as new. Perplexed by the scene, I sneak over the conversation of the police and this not-so-insane man, I heard the man was talking on the phone with his wife when he started to be so caught up in the conversation and BOOM he met an accident. Cellphone while driving? I could almost roll my eyes in front of this careless living creature standing in front of me. Although I consider myself as a pro when it comes to driving, I think being new to it should not be use as an excuse for doing such an unforgiving act while traveling on the road. For once, come to think about other people around you. What if a child crossed on the street and you’re too busy talking on the phone? What if you hit such an innocent child? And you started to blame their parents of being irresponsible for allowing the child to go out on the street alone. Although the parents have their own fault, still you cannot blame the entire things to them.
Here are some rules to guide you:
· 5 states (California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Washington), the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands have enacted jurisdiction-wide cell phone laws prohibiting driving while talking on handheld cell phones.
· With the exception of
· 17 states and the
· School bus drivers in 15 states and the
· Washington,

It is also a way to go away with mom and dad! Funny.
This is out of order. I guess authorities should be stricter this time; parents should also their means to prevent their kids from fooling around authorities. After all, when accidents happen it is only the time when they would regret their action and too bad, the regret comes late. School should also play their part. Why not instill to these kids the fact that driving around without a license isn’t fun at all?
Surely, this is not an overnight problem. Sooner it will get worse, its better to act as early as NOW than regret the fact of being too careless.

Back then, I’ve written here at my blog about my interest of buying the cheapest car in the whole universe! Well, I admit I wanted to make a scene. I wanted people to see that despite the price, it can still give the sense of pride and honor one would most likely get when they are traveling down the busy street. So, did I buy the Nano? YES!! this is what my new pet looks like
click on the image for the source
For a developing country like
Of course when you compare it to other expensive vehicle on the street, you’ll definitely choose the other but with the price of the Nano, why should I ask for more? This is an advancement of science that we should all be proud of and I wish the manufacturer would find their way to export this model to other developing countries so ordinary people will have a taste of how it is to drive a four-wheeled vehicle.
Til then! My dad asked me if we could road test my Nano.
P.S. I think daddy’s proud of my choice, I could see it in his smile. lolz!
The picture says it all; it is a true to life world crash test utilizing the ever nice Mercedes Benz Smart ForTwo city car. This incident took place somewhere in
I think, this is what vehicles should make of. I’m glad that despite their size, the company had exerted much of their effort in ensuring its toughness With this, kudos to Mercedes Benz for proving that they are still indeed the best in the industry! .
Aren’t you’re one of those people who are sweep on their feet the moment when they play racing video game? In this game, you don’t have to worry about police racing your way merely because you violated the speed limit of the road, a typical scene in life. With this, speed is the game and it is your speed which will determine your fate. The faster you are the better chance you have in winning. Its official! For this season, Codemaster won the bid for Formula 1 video games. The company triumphantly won over Sony after the later wished to renewing the ridiculously high bid. Lucky for Codemaster, they were able to get the right mix to finally allow Bernie Ecclestone to give them the right to license the fame. With this, people can expect a whole new game this time, it could be better or worse, who knows?
However, Codemaster, thrilled with the thought that they finally won the most coveted chance to finally host the game told the media about their intention that they will exhaust all means just to give every costumer the fun that they want as they try to fill up all the flaws seen on the previous games when it was still hosted by Sony. They proclaim that the F1 game will be created multi-platform which simply connotes that if in case you own any portable gaming system, next-generation console, or even a PC competent enough to host gaming then there is a big chance that you can triumphantly pick up the new F1 game from Codemasters. It is not a surprising idea that the company won the bid seeing that Codemasters would fork over the dough just to get the cherries on top. They are the same company behind the development of Colin McRae and Race Driver games.
“Formula One is ambitious in expanding its reach with more circuits planned beyond recent additions in the Middle East and
They further said that with the success, brings the dedication to face the challenge better. “The combination of Formula One’s new momentum of expansion and Codemasters’ contemporary technology and past experience is the breaking of a new dawn for the sport, on the track and on the HD game screen.”- by Chris Deering, chairman, Codemasters.
The said wiining gave Codemaster the chance to feature all Grand Prix circuits, Formula One teams, driver, and likenesses. They said that the championship game will be patterned along with the EGO Game which is the best so far in the industry. Looking for means wherein they can employ advanced graphics as well as physics technology so they could provide the best and perhaps the unmatched cinematic excellence to people most specially gamers.
With this, reviewers will most likely expect a rise in the demand of the newly released F1 game once it comes into the real world. Perhaps, it will be another best-seller. Lets just hope and pray that Codemaster will be able to stick with their words as soon as they release their version and I just hope that will exceed all features offered by Sony.
I’m a speed buff, I rarely use the AC when I travel instead I take pleasure of how the wind sweep into my hair as it tries to caress my emotion. Lately, I’ve been intrigue of knowing what the fastest car is ever made so I tried to do some research and here is what I found:
On Sept. 13, 2007, the Shelby SuperCars' Ultimate Aero became the fastest production car in the world. The event took place on a temporarily closed, two-lane stretch of public highway in
The Ultimate Aero posted 257.41 mph on the first pass and 254.88 mph on the second for an average of 256.18 mph. Official data were collected via a GPS tracking system from Austrian data acquisition company Dewetron. Guinness World Records later verified data for an official top-speed announcement on Oct. 9, 2007. At that speed the Ultimate Aero broke the official record held by the Koenigsegg CCR (242 mph) and the unofficial record (253 mph) held by Volkswagen's $1.6 million Bugatti.
And the car could go even faster. NASA's wind tunnel testing facility in

If only I can own one of this car, it would be a dream come true! Calling daddy please get me one soon!haha
Wouldn’t it be nice to own a vehicle that travel on land and water? They are called amphibious cars meant to travel both on land and water just like an amphibian. But do not confuse them on classic landing craft because they are usually not considered amphibious vehicles rather they are merely an attempt to create vehicles that can travel on both surfaces. Because more and more people are getting into the craze of creating vehicles using highly efficient technological skills, they starts to desire to expand the off-road capabilities of land-vehicles into a whole new "all-terrain" capability. They are not only trying to make vehicles that can transport on land and water, but including other factors such as ice, mud, marsh, snow, swamp, and many more.
What I read before is that almost all land vehicles are potential candidate to be made into amphibious kind by merely mounting waterproof hull and a propeller. If the vehicle volume is larger than its displacement then it will result to floating. However, for those heavily created vehicles, they call for additional buoyancy measures in order to float.
One of the earliest known amphibious vehicles was created by Neapolitan Prince Raimondo di Sangro of Sansevero. However, the first self-propelled amphibious vehicle known in history is the Orukter Amphibolos, which is basically a steam-powered wheeled dredging barge, created in
I wonder if I can own this kind of vehicle someday. Lets see.
My body still aches up this very moment I’m trying to jot down this post. I had so much fun last night, so much fun that I’ve forgot all about my alcohol limit. Driving and alcohol don’t mix, I know and I’m not guilty of committing such crime! Never been and will never ever commit such foolishness. I’ve seen hundreds or make it thousands of life wasted merely by watching every day’s news. I don’t want to become the next victim of it and please spare my cars from experiencing such a deadly harm. lolz
I friend Sophie visited our house last night and ask if I can accompany her to her latest addiction, street drag racing! The sound of it makes me shiver, I’ve been driving ever since but I never surrendered myself to that kind of ‘good times’. But curious, she eventually persuaded me to join them. It was fun!!
About Drag Racing
Drag race is all about acceleration contest from a standing start between two vehicles within a measured distance. Mostly, quarter-mile (1,320 feet) or an eighth-mile (660 feet) is the acknowledged standard for that distance. If in case of losing, the driver will be eliminated while the winning one will progress to the next level until one driver remains.
The race is started by a device better known as Christmas Tree mainly because it is a multicolored starting lights. On the sides of the Tree, there are seven lights, the two small amber lights at the top of the fixture and the remaining three are larger LED lights.
The person who will reach the finish line first will be declared as the winner. However, if such driver had violated some rules like for example he runs quicker than its dial-in or index, the winning will be forfeited. Moreover, if the racer suddenly left the starting line too soon, touched the guardwall or guardrail, and many more, he will not be proclaim as the winner because he violated the rules.
It was indeed fun! My friend Sophie won the race but despite all the fun and excitement I felt that as if some thing is telling me that it is not a good act that young generations should do. I guess it because of the safety concerns I have towards it. You see, racing in such speed can cause unseen accidents and who knows if your life is at the line? I would love to see these races shown on TV, a replay of NASCAR event would be great but on real life? It’s bothering me.
Sad to say, accidents rarely happen because of the vehicle but they take place because of the irresponsibility of drivers. Have a clean fun as much as possible! I swear, I’ll never be on such event again. Its hard thinking that you are screaming in great hope for your friend to win but deep inside something within you is being torn apart, greatly wishing that accidents would not come your friend’s way.
Last night my friend gave me a call asking what brand of vehicle should she buy. Without any hinch of doubt, I told her to just go for BMW models. And she told me that she had asked a bunch of people and most of them would tell her to just go for BMW.
So what is really on BMW that make it popular?
I don’t know for some but for me, I think it’s the look, reliability, performance, safety and not to mention the X-factor. I’ve brought my second hand 3-series model 3 years ago but up to now, I’m still drooling over its good look and sophistication. If I have the money, I’ll buy another BMW for sure.
Fuel cost would escalate in a blink of an eye! And so I found myself sitting here in front of the computer trying to research if water is feasible enough to be used as gasoline? Some would smile on this thought but for those who had already heard about the invention, surely this is not a new thing for you. I just could not understand why such invention was never approved by the government to be used on public vehicles.
The technology of using water as a fuel had in fact been around for a long time. In fact, many inventors had successfully done this to their vehicle and the result is remarkable! Are you still in doubt? Then a simple search on youtube or google perhaps using the words "water for fuel" or else "water gas" will essentially gives you many videos on how people truly invented hydrogen engines or engines that produce hydroxy. I’ve watched all those videos patiently and as expected, I want to talk to even one of those investors to test their invention on my vehicles! This spells big savings!
Aside from a great deal of money that you could save, the end result also produces cleaner air that would surely lessen the damage brought by technology to our environment. On my previous posts, I’ve tackled about those bad effects that could be given by those highly damaging exhausts to the air. I guess the moment when we start using water as an alternative to fuel; Mother Nature will start to love us more therefore there will be highly reduced natural calamities. I have this feeling that this sounds like the solution to the world's global energy crisis and global warming problems.
Ok everyone would agree that the technology is great but why is it the technology so comparatively unknown to people these days? I think the reason behind this is the fact or perhaps my presumption that oil companies do not want this technology to grow because they are afraid of the impact it will cause to their sourced of living. They will lose economic dominance in the energy market which will surely spell trouble for them. Come to think, water as fuel will reap such powerful benefits that might entirely wipe these oil companies out of the automotive business or at least decrease a huge part of the pie share. This is definitely one of their greatest fears so they suppressed the technology.
Water is everywhere and it is also recyclable while fossil fuels are damaging to the environment and they cost high!
Just a quick post before I leave for the mechanic, my Chevy’s AC was busted! I was feeling really hot while inside the cabin. Too bad its summer! So I have to drop at the nearest mechanic for a repair!
PS: please check every part of your vehicle to avoid problem like this.
I’m a grown up! For heaven’s sake I’m on my early 20s but last night as I watch my niece watch Disney Car movie, something in me was so caught up with the scene. I even sat in front of the television thinking what if all my vehicles would talk? What am I going to call them? Will they race with one another or would they simply stood there at our parking lot just like what they are doing now? I guess it would be nice if they’ll have a Car Community or whatever they want to call it wherein they’ll interact with one another and made me their queen! Enough of my fantasy! Hey you can’t blame me after all, the movie was great!
I know I’m being childish but let me do this even once. Let me give you a quick rundown of the main character o the movie:
Lighting McQueen- He’s the main character here. He’s actually a racing car and if this character is a real car model, I guess he would look like this:
I’ve been working like crazy these past few days! You know why? I am eyeing over a new car. I think it would be nice to buy something new after all the toils and exhaustions. I’m thinking of getting the cheapest car ever!
I want to get the Tata Nano simply because I am intrigued of what it can give and perhaps because I want to collect those vehicles that falls on the ‘extremes’. Actually, I never really seen an actual model of the vehicle but just seeing the pictures on the web, I guess they’re totally cute and lovable! And of course not to mention, they won’t hurt your budget. Better known as the People’s Car, the model is available for 100,000 rupees which is also the price of DVD player in a Lexus! See the difference? I’m really going to have this model now!lolz Its 3 meters long that can contain four or five people comfortably on place which is potent enough to travel 65mph.
Actually, I first heard about the vehicle from a friend, the very first thing I ask was, ‘why NANO?’ I mean with millions of words that you can use on the vehicle, why did the manufacturer ever thought about naming the vehicle as Tata Nano, I think it sounds a bit hilarious. Of course, I had to google the name and I found out that the prefix Nano was derived from the word ‘nanos’ which is a Greek terms that means dwarf- I guess it all makes sense. Also, in Gujarati, nano also means small.
Let me show you the interior:
As you can see, the interior is not as chic like what you can expect to Dodge and Ford vehicles but with the price like that, what would you ask for more? Im so excited to get my model!
It’s been too long since I had time to update my blog…
Let me tackle now about the health benefit of driving less.

Diamonds are girl’s best friend? I doubt so. I’m Timmy Gray and my passion for vehicles started when I was 3. I can vividly remember when daddy gave me my very first Ferrari collectibles, mom was angry back then as she argued that a girl like me should never be introduced to toy cars. The more my mom revile daddy’s act, the more I grew fond of these shiny and sleek machine shimmering in front of my eyes.
