Mailbag: Going Camping in a Sports Car Is Quite Controversial
This week's Ferrari-camping story caused quite a stir.
This week's Ferrari-camping story caused quite a stir.
The world is growing ever more populated with turbocharged engines, but is this good for drivers?
The 2014 LA Auto Show is the last chance of the year for the automotive industry to show off what they have now and what's coming up next. From realistic to only-in-your-dreams, the LA Auto Show has a lot to offer, but only the best are worth mentioning.
The million-square-foot Bowling Green Assembly Plant boasts little in the way of natural light, the handful of skylights the only hints of life outside the floor. Well, the skylights and WDNS 93 FM, which isn't too informative but at least strums "Jessie's Girl" through the door assembly area.
We meet the 2016 Volvo XC90 -- the face of the new Volvo right down to the new, getting-down-to-business logo.
Staying connected to your information -- whether that means access to music, social media, restaurant reviews, or navigation -- is essential, even when you're on the road. These are some of the best connected cars on the market today; they range from an affordable hatchback to a racy new minivan and all the way to one of the most luxurious rides on the planet.
Steep slopes, muddy trails, river crossings and scree slopes turn a garden variety trip into a journey. Adrenaline junkies, take note: off-road excursions are just as exciting as transcontinental road trips, if not more so. Set yourselves up with any of these great vintage off-road adventure cars and you'll see why.
The old-wood pine forests and gravel roads of the Neste Oil WRC Finland made for gorgeous scenery in early August. And Team Hyundai, plus two of their Finnish drivers, made for a great story.
This Week in Motoring: the most expensive car ever sold, plenty of eco-cars, the science behind Tony Stewart's tragic sprint car accident, Motor Trend's awesome drag race and much more.
A prancing black horse against a yellow backdrop: it's the conspicuous emblem of Ferrari. Sealed permanently into everything from pop culture to motorsport, Ferrari can at times feel overwrought -- its marketing includes branded tchotchkes and amusement parks -- but at its soul it's still the performance automaker from Maranello that Enzo built. And if there's ever been a brand more associated with a singular color, we can't think of one more yoked than Ferrari Red. To honor the glory of the brand, we've assembled an entire issue of Ferrari, ranging from vintage to modern, V8 to V12, race to hobby. Owning one might be a far-off dream, but it's certainly a dream worth visiting often. Slide in, buckle up and read on.
Featuring a slew of firsts, the Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 was wrapped in controversy, failed in sales and has been looked down upon by aficionados for years. Today there is a resurgence in the interest of this ill-fated groundbreaker. We talked to one proud owner to find out why.
We drove a Chevy Cruze Clean Turbo Diesel from New York City to West Michigan for a 2,000-mile round trip. Here's what we learned.
The only problem with hybrids is how boring they can be to drive. Diesel cars, on the other hand, offer outstanding torque with hybrid-like fuel economy. We take five great ones out for a spin.
Diesels have come a long way since the days of smoke spewing trucks and roaring German sedans. New advances in diesel tech have made the fuel a more viable option for passenger cars, and they may have some serious benefits over their gasoline counterparts.
The 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel will haul you and your stuff for nearly 730 miles on one tank, all the while spoiling you with leather, panoramic roof, digital screens and tons of hauling capabilities. Is this the best American SUV ever made? After six weeks and a variety of tasks and duties, we think it's certainly up there.
The BMW X6 been around since 2007 and has found shockingly good sales success for BMW, even earning a refresh this year: all this, despite its inferior specs, a small interior, and the fact that it looks like it's been whacked with the same ugly stick as the Pontiac Aztek. So how does the X6 manage to draw buyers?
Jeep is an American automotive staple, but it hasn't done anything radically new in, well...ever. This signature Jeep American-ness on four driven wheels now gets its biggest injection of originality in the form of the Italian-made, Fiat 500L-based 2015 Jeep Renegade.
While the marketing term "crossover" is a recent invention, the concept is not. Automakers have been making cars that fill the gap between utility vehicles and family cars for decades. Here are three that helped to determine what the crossover is today, along with their modern-day kindred spirits.
Twelve years ago, we said a Porsche truck was a bad idea. Boy, were we wrong. A quick drive in the 2015 Porsche Macan made our eaten words that much more delectable.
Your buddy's Rosso Corsa Red Ferrari makes your blood boil with envy. Unfortunately, your better half won't let you mortgage the house so you can buy one yourself. Though they may not have the prancing horse on the grille or elicit gazes from the bold and the beautiful, these 10 affordable driver's cars still delight with great driving dynamics and the kind of motoring spirit that makes you feel like a kid again.
Lincoln's new MKC crossover is a stunning success -- and the brand couldn't have needed it more.
Longer, wider, lighter and with brand new tech, the Mk VII Golf GTI goes head to head...with past versions of itself.
It used to be a well-known truth: getting an SUV that conquered the rough-and-tumble of off-roading and had good driving dynamics on the road was a holy grail, like marrying a woman with the physique of Lolo Jones and the brains of Marie Curie. Nowadays, that vehicular combination is no longer as elusive as you think. What you get in both the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport and the 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk are excellent on-road manners and the kind of off-road chops that will have herds of mountain goats bowing in respect. You just have to decide how much you plan on doling out.
If you're fortunate enough to possess a Mustang Fastback -- one of the grandaddies of the American muscle car -- you know the respect and admiration it garners from car lovers to kids. It's Americana on four wheels. That sort of red, white and blue clout requires a driver to pull off an homage to American style without resorting to a pair of Ol' Glory lined cutoff jeans. Here, we line up the right kit (light on the actual stars and stripes pattern) you need to get it right.
The 2014 MB E 63 AMG S 4Matic Wagon has more horsepower than a Ferrari 458 and gets to 60 a full second before a Porsche 911. And it has room for your family, their luggage and the family dog. We turned off traction control and let it loose on a dry lake bed.
After the journey from single man to husband and father, choosing a new car involves more than just driving passions. Life has become more pragmatic. How does one choose?
There's no question about a minivan's utility. But until someone comes up with one that doesn't at least partially emasculate red-blooded men, we choose to drive these other vehicles -- ones that offer up utility, a semblance of driving pleasure and better aesthetics than a toaster oven.
As good as BMWs typically are, they've lost some of their deft and agile performance in recent years. The 135i and the 1 M, released in 2008 and 2011, respectively, certainly did their share to make amends for past wrongs. But the new M235i does more than just try to make peace with the former BMW faithful. It's a whole new step in the right direction.
The office dress code can be a challenge for a motorcycle enthusiast; riding the elevator in an unzipped kangaroo skin onesie doesn't score too many points with the boss. Thankfully, there's some excellent motorcycle gear out there that provides the protection you need without sacrificing any of your executive flair.
With free reign on development (and deeper pockets) thanks to new ownership, Ducati's built a lineup that's billed as faster, sexier and more nimble than anything they've produced before. After spending a day piloting five models (Multistrada Pikes Peak, Monster, Panigale, Streetfighter and Diavel) through the Catskill Mountains, it became clear that this may be their finest vintage yet, at least for the majority of their models.
The beauty of classic automotive design is often in direct struggle with modern safety and fuel economy standards, not to mention the latest in technology. But there are still a number of shining examples around today, ones that echo the past and ones that break new ground but don't break the rules of good taste. These ten prove that less is more and that automotive design is not on the rocks.
Aston Martin has been putting cars on the racetrack, in movies and on teenage boys' walls for more than 100 years; no wonder even people who don't care about cars can recognize them in an instant. The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Volante ($296,000) is just another prince in their royal lineage.
Vintage has gained traction in recent years, arguably as a reaction to our digital, disposable age. This rediscovered appreciation for beautiful, meaningful objects from our past is exactly why the Mercedes-Benz Classics Center in Irvine, CA exists...that, and to bring back to life those cars which cause us to lust from the deepest parts of our soft, chewy automotive centers.
If you're in the market for a vintage roadster that adds a new dimension of style and sophistication to your life, and you're willing to throw reliability and modern amenities into the dumpster, then an Austin-Healey MkIII is an excellent choice. Since a good example of the MkIII is relatively affordable, you'll be able to add the right gear and adorn yourself in the right garb to match your new British steed's level of panache.
It would be a dream come true to own a flaming red Ferrari, but sometimes it's best not draw attention (jealousy, ire, the eyes of law enforcement) to your vehicle. Those who want the power and speed without the notoriety can look to "sleepers", cars almost intentionally built to escape notice while still secretly packing heaping loads of power and punch -- and chips on their shoulders.
Racing since age eight, missing prom so he could suit up for the Nascar Nationwide series, winning Nascar's Busch series championship at the tender age of 20: Brian Vickers sounds like a man of one dimension. That would be a false assumption.
Is Audi's first entry-level sedan created specifically for Americans truly a new car, or just a smaller version of the status quo?
Each corner at the Circuit of The Americas is an homage to the most iconic turns from the world of Grand Prix. The track's red, white and blue runoff areas make a declaration that's even more clear when seen from above, perched atop the infield's 250-foot observation tower: the international motorcycling scene has found a vibrant home in America.
Though the New York International Auto Show isn't a haven for many concept cars, there are always a handful of them to get your attention and whet your appetite for what might come. This year, there were four that we could count, and they're all worthy of your dollars should they make it to production in some form.
Sandwiched between the Geneva Motor Show and the Beijing Auto Show, the New York International Auto Show usually misses out on the biggest reveals of the year, but it still has plenty to offer. This year's show had its fair share of new designs and vehicles along with loads of improved sheetmetal. We've chosen ten standouts from our time on the ground that we'll be looking to drive in 2015.
The Jaguar of today is no bespoke joke. Now under Tata ownership, Jag's turned into a luxury automaker that cares about its drivers. The Italian Racing red paint, imposing rear wing and juggernaut 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque of the 2014 Jaguar XFR-S ($99,000) are evidence of that fact. It's not a car for the British dandy. Instead, it's the business end of Jaguar's quest to make a beastlier brawler out of already imposing XFR.
McLaren has been a racing powerhouse for 50 years, but they're a relative newcomer to the consumer supercar scene (their first was the extremely limited-release F1 in 1992). It was just three years ago that their MP4-12C ripped onto the stage, a rocket that hit the apex on its head with its first try. Now it's dead. Before you get upset, know this: its replacement, the 650S, is better by a fair clip. We take a closer look.
No car is more widely considered an American standard than the Ford Mustang. Sure, there's the Corvette, Camaro, Thunderbird, and GTO, but when you think of the Fourth of July Parade, which car comes to mind? That's what we thought. From the original car all the way to the fifth-generation version that pays direct homage to its forefathers, the Mustang simply can't be confused for any other automobile. On the cusp of welcoming an all-new sixth-generation car created for a world market, we take a look at the life of America's pony car.
The look is timeless: A muscular body with single round headlights; vents on the hood and rear quarter panels adding a touch of sinister; two bold Guardsman Blue stripes running from tip to tail over a pristine Wimbledon White paint job. It's the positively beautiful, 100 percent American 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350. No other Mustang in history will ever look this good again.

Valley's worship services are celebrations that proclaim God's love through scripture, prayer, music and inspirational word. We are vibrant and inclusive and we live out our mission of "opening lives to God."
Our first service begins at 9:30 am and includes the choir, monthly hand bell anthems and often special performances from Valley's many gifted musicians. Communion is served monthly, usually on the first Sunday of each month.
Our second service begins at 11:15 am. It is a more intimate gathering with visual interpretation of music and word. Communion is served weekly at this service.
Children are a vital part of our church and are always welcome in worship services. A children's sermon is always a part of the 9:30 service and there is a special "Kids Korner" in the sanctuary for toddlers and their parents with soft toys and cushions. There is special programming in this area during the second service to help small children participate in the rituals of worship. It is very interactive.
Nursery care is provided from 9:00 to noon for infants and children up to age 2.

More than a third of 12-year-olds and more than a quarter of 15-year-olds say they have been embarrassed to smile or laugh due to how they felt about the condition of their teeth, research has found.
Figures released by the Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) also show that just under a third (31%) of five-year-olds and nearly half (46%) of eight-year-olds have decay in their milk teeth.
Its survey of more than 13,500 children and nearly 10,000 dental examinations found that 41% of five-year-olds from more deprived families had tooth decay, compared to 29% from less deprived families. Well over half (59%) of 15-year-olds from more deprived families had tooth decay compared to 43% from more less deprived families.

I have about 4-5 people in here that give me personal chit for no reason. They will respond to a benign post with venom about me personally. Everyone here has seen this over the top BS. No big deal to me because if I don't respect you, you can't insult me. But, lurkers read this and go WTF. I'm not posting in there.
I'm in favor of not allowing personal insults. You can call their position stupid, idiotic whatever. But, the getting personal is over the line if you want more people to post in here.
I thought Zack went over a line with that, that said you are one of the most disingenuous people I have ever encountered~
The Trump campaign and Black Lives Matter movement are perfect for each other. Both sides filled with easily led and angry nitwits convinced they are victims~

Where do you work? Do you have an office space? Or a favorite spot on the couch? Is is quiet or in the middle of the chaos? I think it's interesting to see where people work. So, I'm sharing my space with you today. Here's where I work, what's on my desk, and the books I keep handy when editing and writing.
I used to just sit on the bed and work, since my main work time is 7:00-10:00 at night when my boys go to bed. I like to be close to them in case they need me. But, I was having trouble turning off my mind when it was time to go to sleep. We decided I needed a desk. We put it in our bedroom since I still wanted to be near the boys. Now I have a nice corner office. I think Stephen King would approve.
"It starts with this: put your desk in the corner, and every time you sit down there to write, remind yourself why it isn't in the middle of the room. Life isn't a support system for art. It's the other way around." – Stephen King
This is what my desk looks like today. I took the laptop off so you could see everything around it. In the left corner, I have my phone, a prescription for my son James that's on my to-do list today, and notes for the upcoming book Lee and I are writing. Then there's a picture of Lee and me from ten years ago! I have pieces by Red Letter Words ("She knew who she was in Christ and she dared to dream BIG") and Be Small Studios (a fall leaf that says "be loved'). I have two candles (honeysuckle and lavender vanilla).
The piece of wood has my university's abbreviation and the picture next to it is of my best friend and me at her wedding (behind the flowers). I cut the irises that bloomed yesterday and brought them inside because they grow on the side of my house and I can't enjoy them there as much as I can inside. My grandma grew lots of irises so they remind me of her.
On the desk this morning I also have a glass of water because I just took my medicine. I was diagnosed with pleurisy last week and apparently it can take three weeks to get over. The necklace I wore yesterday and my rings are also there, where I put them last night.
Behind those items, I have a picture of my sisters and me from my wedding, a mug with my favorite pens and pencils, and my calendar and writer's notebook. I also have the questions from the Scene It Harry Potter board game (not sure why they are on my desk and not in the game box). On the bulletin board are pictures of friends, my boys, and my Compassion child. On the wall I also have my college and seminary diplomas and a bigger calendar.
These are the books I like to keep close so they are right there when I need them. (Amazon affiliate links used.) I use The Christian Writer's Manual of Style and The Chicago Manual of Style most often. I also have a book of C. S. Lewis quotes, a book of poems, The Christian Writer's Marker Guide, Wordsmithy by Douglas Wilson, Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott, Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg, Self Publishing by Erin Ulrich and Teri Lynne Underwood, the Usage Dictionary, a text book on editing, On Writing by Stephen King, the AP Stylebook, and Steal Like an Artist by Austin Kleon.
That's my space! In the time it took me to write this post, I also added James's cup, my camera, and the cord that connects the camera to the computer. The windows are open and I can hear Lee mowing the yard. James is hanging out on the bed with the iPad and David comes in to tell me a story every few minutes. My desk is in the corner of all the life going on around me, and it's the perfect spot to write and edit.
Where do you write or create? What books to you keep close? Share in the comments!

Mumbai, Dec 22 (IANS) Many people felt that Aamir Khan's remarks on Himesh Reshammiya's marketing strategy and his trademark cap were sarcastic, but the musician-actor, who admits to being a fan of the star, chooses to take the seeming compliments on their face value.
"If Aamir has spoken so well about me, I won't even think of questioning it. I take his words as a big compliment. I've been hearing some terrific stories about his dedication from (director) John Matthew Mathan. I must say he's very inspiring," Reshammiya told IANS.
At a press conference Thursday, Aamir went out of his way to praise Reshammiya, calling him a master of marketing. "So much so that wherever and whenever I see a topi (cap) I think of Himesh," said Aamir.
But many thought Aamir was being sarcastic by praising Reshammiya for his marketing strategy at a time when it (the strategy) seems to have collapsed. His "Karzzz", a remake of 1980's Rishi Kapoor starrer "Karz", bombed despite all the publicity gimmicks.
"Or did Aamir praise Reshammiya because he is playing a role inspired by Aamir?" asked one of Aamir's co-stars.
Reshammiyya is in Palanpur, Gujarat, busy shooting for Mathan's new film "A New Love Ishtory", in which he plays a big Aamir fan.
"I am a huge fan of Aamir Khan. And what a coincidence that I'm shooting for a film where I play a tapori who's a big fan of Aamir. The role is inspired by Aamir's 'Rangeela'. In fact, my director is Mathan who directed him in 'Sarfarosh'. Both of us just can't stop talking about him," Reshammiya said.

Video Evidence: Manchester City will be onto a winner if they sign Palermo's Edison Cavani
In last season's transfer window Manchester City bought a whole host of strikers. Of the three that they purchased, Carlos Tevez has been exceptional whilst Emmanuel Adebayor and Roque Santa Cruz have both suffered poor seasons.
It is therefore unsurprising that the Citizens have been linked with a mega swoop for Fernando Torres but what has gone somewhat under the radar is that they also have an interest in acquiring Edinson Cavani, Palermo's 23-year-old striker.
Palermo's President, Maurizio Zamparini, has publicly revealed that Manchester City are chasing the star. His public admission is unsurprising as the striker has a €25 million release clause, if the price is met, the President's hands are tied and the player will be off.
The Uruguayan came through the youth system at Danubio F.C. and made his debut for the first team in 2006. He was part of the 2006-2007 Apertura Championship winning squad, scoring nine goals in 25 games in his only season with the club.
Whilst he enjoyed a great debut season, it was not his club form that brought him to the attention of European scouts but his performances for Uruguay in the South American Youth Championship.
Several teams were interested in signing the striker. The list of suitors included Juventus and AC Milan. However, it was Palermo who stumped up the cash and he was off to the Rosanero.
In the ultra defensive Serie A he has continued to impress and bagged 32 goals in 107 appearances, an excellent haul for a team that struggles to get into the Europa Cup on a consistent basis.
Cavani is a tall (he stands at 6 ft), quick and agile striker. He is predominantly right footed and plays as the spearhead of the attack. He is excellent in the air and is a constant danger form set pieces and crosses.
He uses he speed to exploit space between the centre back and left full back, scoring most of his goals running onto through balls into the space between the two defenders.
In addition, he is calm in front of goal and is able to wait for what seems like an eternity for the goalkeeper to make the first move before calmly slotting the ball home.
A criticism of his game would be that he fails to provide assists for his team mates. This year he has none to speak of and last season only two. This is surely not enough, and Manchester City will be looking for him to do more work to create space and assists for his fellow strikers.
Serie A is a league that Roberto Mancini knows well, and for him to recommend his acquisition to the Manchester City board he must be sure that he will settle into the cut and thrust of the Premier League.
He will not be in Manchester City's first choice partnership but for a club where money is no object and attaining Champions League football is a must for next season, Cavani is definitely a player who can make a vital contribution to this requirement.
Video evidence of Edison Cavani can be seen here.

From Cheap Cars to Cheap Housing
"Tata's housing division is targeting a segment of the market that was largely overlooked during the housing boom. India's builders were concentrating on building shiny new high rises and mansions on golf courses. Builders were after profits, but they were also trying to justify their fast-accelerating land costs, especially in and around Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) and other major cities.
But some business consultants (most prominently, C.K. Prahalad) were arguing that companies would profit handsomely if they target the "bottom of the pyramid" where the bulk of consumers are. It looks like Tata is taking that advice.
Luxury flats in Mumbai can cost more than ones in Manhattan. But these apartments won't be luxurious. The Tata apartments will be built on 67 acres in Boisar, an industrial area where many lower-wage commuters already rent. These apartments will be absolutely tiny. The carpeted area of the smallest units will be 218 square feet, too small even for most Manhattanites. The largest units would be about 373 square feet (Click here to see the floor plans)."

text: Krypto 'SAM' saiyaN 178 Posted March 1, 2015 [Download] http://tomcsi.comule.com/ [Comment] I'm glad that LegendTTA return back after he disappear for a while before.

Like the other LegendTTA creation, this Gaara play very well, easy to pull a combo and has a great AI. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
