The City Car was an interesting way of simplifying a vehicle from 30,000 components into 300. The engine-less car works on solar power, which makes sense that he would utilize a natural power source as all of his work is based on nature. Lovegrove makes use of the solar power by having the car radiate light at night and transforming the car into a street lamp. By stripping it down to its bare minimum, the design displays the sound organic form of the cellulose structure of DNA.

Will Smith was using a trailer so big, the business people in Soho got it kicked off of the neighborhood streets and into a parking lot
Asking price is 2 million by the manufacturer, Anderson Mobile Estates, and this one seems to be regularly used by the movie company Columbia Pictures while the movie Men In Black III is getting filmed.

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is the ultimate sports car; this car was built for incredible speed and it goes from zero to sixty in just 4.2 seconds. American car enthusiasts have been clamoring for Aston Martin to release the V12 Vantage for sale in the States and our wish is finally coming true. This incredible sports car has only been available in Europe due to the fact that the luxury automaker wasn't sure if there would be a demand for it in the States. Apparently they were wrong, who wouldn't be interested in one of the finest crafted automobiles in the world with a V12 engine to top it all off? This is going to be the most powerful and fastest Aston Martin vehicle ever produced, with an astounding 512 horsepower and 410 lb feet of torque. That is an incredible amount of power packed in one small and sleek package.
Just like all other Aston Martin vehicles, the V12 Vantage will also be built in Warwickshire, England.This car was originally built for the European market only and had to be redesigned in order to meet United States federal crash regulations. The V12 will be available as a limited edition in the US and can be ordered in advance exclusively from Aston Martin. To the delight of many fans, there will also be a limited-edition model available in Carbon Black which will have carbon fiber accents, black ten-spoke alloy wheels, a black obsidian interior and will be painted metallic black for that all-black effect.
What truly sets this car apart from the rest of the pack is its V12 engine! It is extremely rare to find a car with a V12 engine due to cost and the complexity. This Vantage is equipped with a 6.0 Liter V-12 with 510 HP and 420 lb feet of torque. When you combine all this power with the sleek, compact Aston Martin body you get a world-class sports car that can outrace them all. The Vantage V12 is very popular for its engine roar and fans will delighted by its legendary thunderous exhaust noise.
Between mid-2006 to mid-2007, only 40 more of the said model were going to be made and then released as the Vanquish S Ultimate Edition. With much better interiors and an "ultimate black" finish, those last cars were the first of all the Vanquish cars to be fitted with gearboxes for manual transmission. Before handing over the title to the DBS V12, the Aston Martin Vanquish was the company's flagship automobile and to this day remains as one of the most coveted sports cars in recent history.
You can experience what others are experiencing and that is relaxation. When you know you made a right choice at the right time, it just feels so good. When you are driving down the freeway and your car drives so smooth, it makes you feel like you taking care of your business and don't have to worry about the problems that other vehicles can provide to you. The Toyota Prius has been tested and tested over and over so you will not have any problems as far as accidents are concerned. The air bags are safe and secure and will work properly if anything was to happen.
The Toyota Prius was produced and privately imported to New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom between the years of 1997-2001. The Toyota Prius have very good advantages because it is a Hybrid and not like those other conventional vehicles out there. There has been a rising fuel cost lately and you shouldn't want any part of it. Hybrid cars are environment friendly with lower toxic emissions as the conventional cars are powered by gasoline and that's why hybrid vehicles use less gas. The Toyota Prius is environmentally friendly because it does not cause as much pollution as those conventional vehicles that are available.
Hybrid cars can offer you more savings because you can get tax incentives for your purchase. This has been done in 2005 when President Bush signed an agreement to give all citizens a tax relief incentive. You would always get an outstanding experience when it comes to the Toyota Prius.
Carter told Autoweek that while the company has not made a final decision yet, the concept of a true 7-seater Prius minivan for the North American market is “being seriously studied”. He added that the three-row Prius would have to be based on a dedicated platform and meet certain criteria such as feature an aerodynamic shape, be able to return at least 40mpg and have a strong value-price equation.
Another Toyota executive, corporate manager of product planning Ben Mitchell, confirmed that his team has put several proposals for new hybrid vehicles in different segments on the table, including that of a larger 7-seater Prius as well as hybrid versions of the Sienna minivan and Venza crossover.
26 yr old Kyle Busch... Nascar Sprint Cup driver, in serious danger of losing his regular drivers lisense for 128 in a 45 in South Carolina
0 comments Posted by korekore at 8:13 PMHis nickname "Wild Thing"..., his crime? Nearly 3 times the speed limit.
Careless and reckless driving plus speeding. His wife was in the car with him.
On two lane Perth Road near Troutman, N.C. in a yellow 2012 Lexus LFA sports car, unregistered, still a dealership supercar he was loaned by Toyota-Lexus.
A very special supercar by Lexus, a 552-horsepower LFA coupe that began production in December with a very serious price tag of $375,000. Just 22 of them have been delivered so far to U.S. customers, with 500 examples planned worldwide.
Really? (as they say on Saturday night live) You really had to find the top speed of a Lexus?
If convicted, Busch can lose his license for up to a year and face $1,000 in fines.
"I was test driving a new sports car and I got carried away," Busch explained. "I went beyond the speed I should have been going on a public road."
Kyle is already on Nascar probation for infamous rule 12-4-A, "actions detrimental to stock car racing," from the Darlington incident with Kevin Harvick http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/NASCAR-Kevin-Harvick-and-Kyle-Busch-clash-after-Darlington-Cup-race (Harvick climbing out of his car to take a swing at Busch who stayed in his car. Harvick's ends up crashing into a wall) , but NASCAR decided Busch's speeding on a 2 lane at a splinter under 3ximes the posted limit didn't fall afoul of that rule... could it be that to link this incident to that would possibly result in a loss of championship points?
Near that area several other notable people have died in higher speed collisions.
