My first local map from my world map project.
I started with an area in the center of the continent, so no coastline at all! The scale is still waaaaay too big if I go through with what I have in mind. This is supposed to be the size of maybe 2/3 France, but it would be about 860 miles wide by what I originally thought of. Well, need to adjust that.
I changed the mountains a bit from my previous tryouts.
Here's a first peek, not that much there, but the mountainrange was an a***hole piece of work!
In the end I'm planning to add a little coloring, but for now I'll lay it out in black and white.

Nice work so far! I can imagine how long it took to do those mountains! I personally find rendering mountains from directly above the most taxing.
Starting with mountains isn't always a bad idea though as they can be used to determine where rivers come from and if one side gets a lot of rain while the other does not. The mountains are understood as mountains though having black lines along the ridges for me at least is a little conflicting visually. I would experiment a little with different styles of mountain shapes which black lines can fight against. Like it might be hard to express a large dome like mountain as it would have no obvious place to put a black line. The black lines almost feel like they could be canyons or rivers. You do definitely have the right idea with making the tops of the mountains lighter than the bottom of them though!
It depends on the level of detail you want with rivers but remember water would build up in those mountains in the top right and form lakes and rivers flowing out. Unless that is the region receives very minimal rainfall. There are a number of tutorials on rivers and mountains around here.
Keep up the good work.

I like your forests a lot, it's a really cool style. Mountains look good too. There's an inconsistency though: the trees are seen from the side, and the mountains from above. Also, the trees are very sharp, while the mountains are fuzzy. To me, these elements don't really match each other. As Viking says, removing the black lines could improve it, but I'd also suggest giving the mountains more, sharper detail and try to lower the perspective to make them fit together with the forests.
Thanks to both of you.
I get the confusion about the black lines on the mountainridges. I'm not sure yet of how to tackle that problem. If I remove them, as you suggested, it will look completely blurry (I'm not home right now so I can't show you). Maybe I should remove the grey shadow layers and just work with lines. That could take care of the trees not matching problem, too.
Thanks for the compliment on the forest! Figuring out that style took a few days.
This looks good for a newcomer! I'm not a mapper myself, so I doubt I could even do what you've done. I think it looks nice, I'd love to see it finished About the black lines, you could blur them to make them blend into the mountains more?
Thanks RippedWorld!
I found that once you get your head around Photoshop, it's actually easier than one might think. Still takes a lot of work and endurance, but it's worth the effort!
About blurring the black lines: this would still be confusing, since ridges are usually the brightest, not darkest part of a mountain. Also, blurring would take away the little sharpness that is there. But thanks for your thoughts!
Maybe try making the black lines white instead then? If they are on their own layer, you can invert the colors of it, otherwise selecting them with the wand tool and filling the selection with white should work too.
… but they would still not be in the same perspective as the trees
Ah well, not much progress lately, due to work. I'm stuck trying to resolve the perspective problem.
If I make the black lines on the mountains white, they look like a flock amobae. We'll see.
Long time no see.
After long thoughts and much fiddling around I decided to ditch the mountainstyle in favor of the forest to solve the perspective problem. Still a lot to improve on them, but here's a look at what I have been doing:
On the whole map (zoomed out) it looks like this:
I think the perspective on the mountains is still not quite right. Maybe there's also too much detail in them.
I'd be happy about any suggestions on how to change that side-view of the mountains to something more isometric.

The temporomandibular (tem-puh-roe-mun-DIB-u-lur) joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement.
The exact cause of a person's TMJ disorder is often difficult to determine. Your pain may be due to a combination of problems, such as arthritis or jaw injury. Some people who have jaw pain also tend to clench or grind their teeth, but many people habitually clench their teeth and never develop TMJ disorders.
In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorders can be alleviated with self-managed care or nonsurgical treatments. Severe TMJ disorders may require surgical repair.
Signs and symptoms of TMJ disorders may include:
TMJ disorders can also cause a clicking sound or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew. But if there's no pain or limitation of movement associated with your jaw clicking, you probably don't need treatment for a TMJ disorder.
Seek medical attention if you have persistent pain or tenderness in your jaw, or if you can't open or close your jaw completely. Your doctor, your dentist or a TMJ specialist can discuss possible causes and treatments of your problem.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) combines a hinge action with sliding motions. The parts of the bones that interact in the joint are covered with cartilage and are separated by a small shock-absorbing disk, which normally keeps the movement smooth.
Painful TMJ disorders can occur if:
In many cases, however, the cause of TMJ disorders isn't clear.
TMJ disorders most commonly occur in women between the ages of 20 and 40, but may occur at any age.
You'll probably first talk about your TMJ symptoms with your family doctor or dentist. If their suggested treatments don't provide enough relief, you may eventually be referred to a doctor who specializes in TMJ disorders.
You may want to prepare a list that answers the following questions:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
During the physical exam, your doctor or dentist will probably:
If your doctor or dentist suspects a problem with your teeth, you may need X-rays. A CT scan can provide detailed images of the bones involved in the joint, and MRIs can reveal problems with the joint's disk.
In some cases, the symptoms of TMJ disorders may go away without treatment. If your symptoms persist, your doctor may recommend a variety of treatment options.
In conjunction with other nonsurgical treatments, medications that may help relieve the pain associated with TMJ disorders may include:
Nonpharmaceutical treatments for TMJ disorder include:
When other methods don't help, your doctor might suggest procedures such as:
Becoming more aware of tension-related habits — clenching your jaw, grinding your teeth or chewing pencils — will help you reduce their frequency. The following tips may help you alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders:
Complementary and alternative medicine techniques can sometimes help control the chronic pain often associated with TMJ disorders. Examples include:

OAKTON, Va. (WUSA) -- The hottest technology on the market is in the hands of pre-schoolers at Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia!
Four and five year olds are learning shapes, colors and sets by taking pictures of things with the tablet computers and identifying the objects in their lessons.
They are also getting a handle on computer technology so early in their learning career they will be able to grow with technical improvements over time. Flint Hill is what?s called a ?One to One? school, which means every student gets their own tablet computer they will take with them from year to year.
Teachers say as the little ones learn how to focus and frame up a picture their hand eye coordination is improving as well.
What?s really cool, even at their tender ages Flint Hill school administrators say the pre-schoolers are teaching them new and more complex ways ways to use the iPad2's for future lessons!

A couple of weeks back, I spent an evening in my hometown of Woodstock, Illinois.
The city's annual Barndance—like cows and corn, barns are still plentiful in this small town an hour's drive northwest from Chicago—serves as a cancer fundraiser, and simultaneously is a great reason for everyone in town to get together. As a recent returnee to the Midwest, I had a chance to reconnect with people I hadn't talked to in 30-plus years.
"You'll see almost everybody here," one friend told me. "People we knew in school, even teachers come out."
Impulsively I asked about Chris Strong, one of our former English instructors who I consider to be one of my early mentors.
Indeed he was coming, my friend said. We tracked him down and after a few minutes refreshing the memories of long-past English classes at good ol' Woodstock High—go Blue Streaks!—I told Mr. Strong how he inspired me as I pondered my path in life. We talked for a while, promised to connect on Facebook (I still haven't) and parted with a warm handshake.
It was a completely spontaneous moment for me, but Mr. Strong seemed genuinely appreciative that I wanted to say hello. I walked away glad that I could tell him what he meant to me personally and professionally.
It's safe to say we've all had our own version of Mr. Strong, whether it was an instructor, colleague, boss, friend—or if you are like me, check all of the above.
My gurus have, for lack of a better term, sprouted up around me organically. Observation and experience have served me well.
While inspiring, committed mentors like Mr. Strong exist in the workplace, I fear they're a vanishing breed. Even mentors with that innate, natural ability to inspire need a climate of sustained corporate support, including a healthy sprinkling of training to grow and flourish.
Maintaining or even initiating such a philosophy these days is easier said than done. After several years of fiscal malaise in this "work-more" era of employees swamped with multiple tasks, let's be honest: Who has time to be a mentor?
Showing a newbie to the kitchen is one thing, but taking 30 minutes or so out of your day to observe someone's work is a huge obligation. Even if it's broken up—two minutes here, 10 minutes there—it can still take up 2½ hours out of your week. You do the math over the course of a month or a year. Ultimately, it adds up to a big commitment of time and energy.
A pre-recession mentor-program primer I found is naively comical: "How do you hang on to your brightest young talent and prepare them to lead? Simple: Recruit your more experienced employees to help teach and guide them."
Simple indeed. How early-2008.
Even in the best-staffed situations, striking the right relationship between the old hand and the greenhorn is a crapshoot. Potential personality clashes aside, too much structure is metrics-driven, form-filling overkill; a lack of oversight leaves both sides in the dark with the learner frustrated at what to do.
Which is not to say that I am authoring a new book titled Sink or Swim: How's the Deep End of the Work Pool, Kid?. To coin a really overused phrase, mentoring these days takes a village.
With our new intern Max coming onboard soon, one of our staffers will be his go-to person for the basics. But really, it's on all of us to help Max get the most out his experience, and, conversely, for us to get the most out of Max.
What Max takes away from his time with me will hopefully not be my in-depth explanation of a defined benefit vs. a defined contribution plan. Ten years from now if Max and I bump into each other at a barn dance in the boonies, my professional discourse on the nuances of onboarding might be forgotten in favor of an informal chat about career paths or our most influential bands. Does that make me a mentor? I think so.
Actually, I'd like to be among the Chris Strongs in Max's life, which reminds me: I have someone to friend on Facebook.

Our management decided to migrate us to Zimbra. However, since I don't like searching in my browser tabs to locate the Zimbra tab, and I wish to have mail notification in the form of a small envelope in the System Tray, I decided to try Zimbra Desktop. However, Zimbra desktop does not show all my folders (btw, they are shown in the web client) and it STILL doesn't show the little envelope in the System Tray. As a last resort, I decided to try the Outlook Connector. However, with it, Outlook ALWAYS crashes during some sync tasks in the beginning. It has never been able to sync properly and I have tried around 10-20 times already. Sometimes it crashes after 5-10 minutes, sometimes it crashes after a few second. The only immutable thing is that it crashes. I have attached screenshots of the sync tasks:
and of the crash:
So, what can I do now? Nothing works properly. My initial experience with Zimbra has been abysmal. Is there a way for me to use Outlook without crashing?

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Inga Orekhova scored 20 points, including five 3s, to lead No. 10 South Florida past Texas Tech 71-70 in the first round of the NCAA tournament on Saturday.
Andrell Smith added 13 points in the win over the seventh-seeded Lady Raiders.
ESPN's TV feed cut out for the final few minutes with the game tied, leaving the audience unable to see the conclusion.
Announcer Cara Capuano called the final 30 seconds over the phone. The feed finally came back after the final buzzer sounded, showing South Florida's cheerleaders celebrating the victory.
Texas Tech led most of the way, but three straight field goals by Smith with about 13 minutes left gave South Florida a 46-44 lead.

In 1917, while distributing Spanish Bibles in Guatemala, American missionary Cameron Townsend was challenged by his Mayan guide Fransisco Diaz to translate the Bible into his native Cakchiquel language. It was Diaz's long-held dream for the Cakchiquels to have Scripture in the language of their birth. Surely, Diaz told Townsend, God could speak to the Cakchiquels just as he could to the Spanish-speaking people. Townsend took the challenge and went on to learn the oral-only language, create an alphabet and translate the New Testament. The project took 10 years and inspired Townsend, in 1942, to found Wycliffe Bible Translators, named for John Wycliffe, the 14th-century Oxford scholar who first translated the Bible into English

A very versatile performer, Fierstein brought his talent for focusing the outlandish with his debut as an asthmatic lesbian cleaning woman in one of Andy Warhol's few theatrical ventures, "Pork", in 1971. During the 70s, a very up-and-down period for the actor, the one-act pieces which eventually formed "Torch Song Trilogy" were written, performed and reworked until they became a highly polished triptych of contemporary gay culture. In retrospect, it seems incredible that "Torch Song" didn't make it to Broadway until 1983, but his dual Tony wins for both Best Play and Best Actor brought a new kind of face into American living rooms during the awards broadcast.

Any help would be appreciated, as Zimbra continues to drive me crazy.
For some time now, entering any text in the search box and clicking search simply does not work. Just doesnt return results. Even for simple words that are obviously contained in the messages.
On top of that, when I compose a new email, the To field is greyed out preventing me from choosing an email address in the Address Book. I have to always manually key the email address in.
Advice welcome before I have to move to an email application that works.

PM Jen. Might be your best chance. She is not on the forum as much as she used to be.
Hey all,
posted in the spring, requesting some info on this unit, my first time there. Have about 5 days to get it done and it's coming up. ANY advice appreciated. I heard that Jen Bickel(sp?)has the scoop on this area. Jen, you out there? Plan is to set up a base camp somewhere east of the lake and check terrain based on what I hear, figure out, or where the weather tells me to go. Realize the weather is the big unknown. Going to hunt on foot and am willing to go extra miles to find a location that is NOT accessible by road traffic and ATV's, maybe spike out if I find a promising spot. Thanks all and hope you have or had a successful season, wherever you hunt. I expect to work hard to find a buck, maybe even a dandy.
PM Jen. Might be your best chance. She is not on the forum as much as she used to be.
I don't Break the rules, I Modify them.
I sent Sis a text for you she is extremely busy!
"Only two people have died for You and I, The American Soldier died for Our Freedom & Jesus Christ Died for Our Souls!" I thank GOD for them! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
NRA Life Member
Thanks for the help. I'll PM her. Shannon
If the snow continues I would check out the BLM. If it were me, I would backpack in from the National FOrest and hunt the borders of the forest and private ranches if the snow has not pushed them down yet.
If yo have an ATV I would bring it, a few two-track roads not passable in a truck that are passable in a ATV. If you dont have a ATV, then I would avoid those areas with two-tracks so to save you on frustration.
AT Hiker,
thank you much for the information. No ATV but good strong legs. Checked the weather and it looked there might be some white stuff and the long range forecast looks to have some more before the opener. Shannon
I read on the WY G&F forecast that they recommend hunting the edge of the forest boudaries, same as I suggested.
On the western boundary of the unit is a large reservoir, not sure if it will be open with the current government shutdown, but it may hold some animals if the snow pushed them way down. You can also access a lot of land from that area too, but I did see a lot of 2-tracks that I am sure get used by ATV's, UTV's, etc. Since you are not bringing a 4-wheeler I would study the maps hard and find a spot that requires you to walk in, and I am willing to bet you will not see many other people doing that.
Good luck and let us know how it went.
Roger that,
I will be getting some specific information from a local who knows the area, but your advice makes a ton of sense. Stoked that there is weather in the area. Hopefully it sends the deer lower and concentrates them a bit. Will post up a report upon my return. Best to all who continue to hunt this fall. SRJ
srj936, sent you a pm

Hikaru Sulu (alternate reality)
this wiki
(split 2233)
Hikaru Sulu was a Human Starfleet officer in the 23rd century. He served as helmsman of the USS Enterprise from when it was first deployed at the destruction of Vulcan.
Sulu took over at the helm of the USS Enterprise because the originally-assigned helmsmen, McKenna, was ill with lungworm. As the fleet went to warp on its maiden voyage, Sulu forgot to disengage the external inertial dampener, leaving the Enterprise in Earth orbit for several moments as the rest of the fleet jumped away. Though embarrassing, the extra time afforded by this delay caused the Enterprise to enter the Vulcan system after Nero's assault had destroyed the rest of the fleet, likely saving the lives of the crew of the Enterprise.
Sulu participated in a space-dive along with James T. Kirk and Chief Engineer Olson to disable Nero's drilling rig as it drilled to the core of Vulcan. He was a skilled fencer and used his training in Hand-to-hand combat and a retractable sword to fight Romulans on the drilling platform, saving Kirk from a potentially fatal attack by one of the Romulans. Subsequently, Kirk endeavored to return the favor, diving into a free fall to save a falling Sulu.
Having been present when Pike appointed Kirk first officer, Sulu pointed out it was Kirk's right to sit in the command chair. During the battle for Earth, Sulu carefully maneuvered the Enterprise into Saturn's orbit, where the planet's magnetic rings would shield the ship from the Narada's sensors. He sped the Enterprise after the Romulan vessel when it left the Sol system in pursuit of the Jellyfish, firing all the phaser banks to disarm its missiles. When the Narada was being sucked into a black hole, Sulu fired all phasers and photon torpedoes at the ship when Nero refused Kirk's offer for help. Sulu was present when Kirk was promoted to captain, and remained the ship's helmsman under his command. (Star Trek)
In 2259, Sulu was piloting a shuttle on Nibiru to rappel Spock into a volcano that was endangering the Nibirans. Ash from the volcano damaged the shuttle, breaking the wire holding Spock, and forcing Sulu to dive to the underwater Enterprise.
During the mission to find the mass murderer John Harrison, Sulu vouched for 72 experimental photon torpedoes being brought aboard the ship that Scotty was refusing to allow on board. While Kirk and Spock went to Qo'noS to apprehend Harrison, Sulu sat in the command chair and broadcast a message ordering Harrison to surrender or be fired on. His message was so frightening that McCoy asked Sulu to "remind me never to piss you off".
Later, when the Enterprise was severely damaged and hurtling to Earth, Sulu defied Spock's order to evacuate the ship, preferring to go down with it. Almost a year later, Sulu attended a memorial service for those killed, and resumed working as helmsman on the repaired Enterprise. He and Kirk spoke about the taste he had developed for sitting in the captain's chair, and expressed interest in captaining his own ship. (Star Trek Into Darkness)
Memorable quotes Edit
"He has lungworm, sir. He couldn't report to his post. I'm Hikaru Sulu."
- - Hikaru Sulu to Captain Pike (Star Trek)
"So what kind of combat training do you have?"
- - James Kirk and Hikaru Sulu (Star Trek)
"Attention: John Harrison. This is Captain Hikaru Sulu of the USS Enterprise. A shuttle of highly trained officers is on its way to your location. If you do not surrender to them immediately, I will unleash the entire payload of advanced long-range torpedoes currently locked on to your location. You have two minutes to confirm your compliance. Refusal to do so will result in your obliteration. If you test me, you will fail."
- - Hikaru Sulu, to John Harrison (Star Trek Into Darkness)
""Captain" does have a nice ring to it. Chair's all yours, sir."
- - Hikaru Sulu to James Kirk on sitting in the Captain's Chair. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

Background information Edit
According to his dossier at the official Star Trek movie website, as with his prime timeline counterpart, he is listed as having been born in San Francisco. Also referenced therein, Sulu was top of his class in astrosciences and advanced botany and founded Starfleet Academy's European Swordsmanship club. His prime counterpart was the ship's chief of astrosciences in the pilot before becoming the helmsman in the series proper, and had expertise in botany and fencing.
In the novelization of the film, while confronting Kirk about how he had been able to return aboard the Enterprise, he mentions having a doctorate in astrophysics and a master's certificate in interstellar navigation, not to mention having completed a wide assortment of advanced seminars in subspace theory and related disciplines, and therefore could handle whatever explanation Kirk might give - though he recants this conclusion upon hearing the truth.
Sulu is pictured on cards #58 "Combat Specialist H. Sulu" and #96 "Lieutenant H. Sulu" of the virtual collectible card battle game Star Trek: Rivals.
According to his dossier at the Star Trek movie app, Sulu is listed at being born in 2237 to Hosato (father) and Yoshiko Sulu (mother). He is also the brother of Aiko Sulu. He was listed as being a survivor of the Klingon attack on the colony world Ganjitsu in 2248. He enrolled in Starfleet Academy in 2255.
A sister, named Yuki (β), was introduced in "The Khitomer Conflict, Part 1", an issue of IDW Publishing's Star Trek: Ongoing' series. She was posted on the Enterprise as an engineering officer following her service on the Armstrong, and was later revealed to be a member of Section 31.

Was out Saturday evening, did not hear any bugles. I did see a group of cows with a bull. Before this weekend I was just seeing bulls in their bachelor groups.
Its been in the mid-80's and only getting down to the mid-40's at night in southern WY. Has anyone been out and heard any bugles or seen any rutting activity? I am heading out next week but a little worried about the heat.
Was out Saturday evening, did not hear any bugles. I did see a group of cows with a bull. Before this weekend I was just seeing bulls in their bachelor groups.
Ok thanks I am headed down your way taking my wife out on her first elk hunt. First as in she gets to do the shooting. I am gonna hunt 110. Have you ever hunted there? I have recently moved from southeast Idaho to Cheyenne.
Have spent more time in the North Platte wilderness area than in the Savage Run wilderness area. The best time to hunt that area is towards the end of the season with some snow on the ground. It gets very crowded, especially west of Pelton Creek. You would be amazed on how many people get elk out there by driving around. You drive by these camps and they have whole elk hanging in the tree. Where we got ours there was no way in he@# he was coming out whole. PM me if you want some more info.
It felt much cooler this morning I don't know about the elk but I am getting sooo excited. Driving the neighbors crazy with all the bugling. I get a few days off next week I hope it turns cold and they kick it up a notch.
I wouldn't say rut yet but I spent a weekend filled of close encounters and bugled a bull in 10 minutes after shooting light... They are setting dominance and bugling like crazy.... Could be different 10 miles away though.
they are rutting in idaho, not alot going on but deff got into some. watched a small 6 point working 7 cows. i dont think the heat plays into it, look at new mexico and arizona, those boys are rutting in 100 degree weather.
The heat really does not have anything to do with the rut IMO. The elk have to breed about the same time every year for calf survival. Thats just my opinion though. The heat may keep them just to rutting in the evenings.
Great I am even more excited now! Thanks for all the information and feedback. I wish all of you the best of luck this season. I am headed out on the 13th or 14th for a few days taking my wife out to hunt for her first elk. I will hope to have some pics.
Should be cold the first day of ML season this Sat at 12,000ft. It looks like a cold front is moving through.
I may be moving faster than normal to stay warm.

Im interested in the Aqualung express open heel fin why does no one have a size chart for thier fins. I had the chance to dive a pair of regulars the other day and really liked them, however the footpocket was large enough for my size 9 foot with a 5mm bootie to move around and give me blisters on each of my second toes. I would like to know what size the small will fit. Can anyone help.
The Express fin is now available in an open-heel version. The Express ADJ fin represents the latest in technology and material innovation. Comfort, power and efficiency are the hallmarks of this propulsion machine. Strap a pair on and see for yourself.
The Express fin works on the same principle as the popular Slingshot and Hotshot fins. The function of the Slingshot power bands has been converted into the Express "Armadillo". This patented, elongated membrane is made from ultra-elastic rubber. Like power bands, it accumulates elastic energy during the down stroke and returns it at the end of each kick cycle.
The Armadillo also bridges the gap between the front of the foot pocket and the back of the blade, which eliminates any water transfer through the fin.
The blade connects halfway back on the foot pocket at the mid-foot flex joint. This eliminates hyper-extension of the toes and ankles.
The foot pocket is not only comfortable, but provides different thickness zones which properly secure the foot to the blade for maximum energy transfer.
Rubber side ribs channel the water down the length of the fin minimizing the spill-over effect.
Features the ESBS (Ergonomic Strap and Buckle System). The protruding press – to- release buttons can be operated easily even while wearing thick gloves.
The strap, made of rubber with anti-aging compounds, has three convenient loops. This makes strap easy to tighten or pull up over the heel even with the thickest of gloves
Over-sized, anti-slip rubber pads on the bottom of the fin
Fin Care and Maintenance
Care Before and During the Dive
Avoid standing your fins on the tips of the blades for any extended period of time.
Avoid hot temperatures and hot surfaces as these can damage the fin.
Avoid placing the fins in a car trunk on hot days as the temperatures inside car trunks can exceed the temperature tolerances of the fin and the blades may distort.
Care After the Dive:
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and towel dry before final storage.
Store in a cool, dry and protected place out of direct sunlight.
Avoid any contact with alcohol, oil, gasoline, aerosols, or chemical solvents.
Do not expose any part to aerosol spray, as some aerosol propellants attack or degrade rubber and plastic materials.
Do not use any type of alcohol, solvent or petroleum based substances to clean or lubricate any part.
Do not store your equipment near any oil, gasoline, chemicals, or solvents.
Available for shipment to U.S. zip codes only

1968 is the new 2008.>
Dodge Challenger Drag Racing Package
Remember the ol' Hemi Dart and Barracuda "package" cars from 1968? Mopar does, so to fte the 40th anniversary, it's going to have a similar program for the '09 Challenger. For now, we know the limited-production run will feature a competition-ready Hemi and that the race-only parts will not be street-friendly, but will be NHRA-friendly. More info to come!
The cast-iron Aluminator. Kidding.>
Ford's New Aluminator Racing Crate Engines
Like the Mustang GT's 4.6L? That engine is the foundation for Ford's brand-new lines of all-aluminum blocks. The 281ci mill can make 700 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. There's a Ford Racing supercharger as well as an '03-'04 SVT Cobra intake. Long- and short-blocks are available; short-blocks will start at $4,500.
You know a car won't last when a photo from a year ago looks circa 1982.>
Crown Vic Gets Dethroned
The Detroit Free Press has reported that Ford won't sell the Crown Vic to customers at retail anymore; dealers will push the Taurus and other models. But if you're set on a Vic, you'll need to get a new job, one that has a fleet, since that's what Ford will sell the car to in bulk now, like the government. You can still get a Lincoln Town Car or Mercury Grand Marquis, however.
'Good used Vics are available at police auctions. The '03-and-newer cars are the best. The Panther platform is probably the last body-on-frame, rear-drive American passenger car that will ever be made.
Feed me, Seymour.>
New Hemi Parts
Chrysler has intro'd a bunch of new stuff for the second-gen Hemi engine. A few of the offerings include an aluminum block (PN 5153864), a cast-iron (PN 4529898) and aluminum (PN 5153779) head, a 426 street Hemi intake manifold (PN 5153737), an aluminum race roller-rocker system (PN 5153782), and a single-plane intake manifold for large-displacement engines (PN 5153781). Stuff for the 5.7L and 6.1L Hemi includes an aluminum block (PN 5153897), 6.1L single-plane intake manifold, CNC-ported cylinder head (5.7L RH: PN 5153344, LH: PN 5153343; 6.1L RH: PN 5153350, LH: 5153349), and 5.7L dual-quad intake manifold (PN 5153556). Conversion kits for '04 model-year-or-earlier 5.7Ls are available.
Guys Who Design Cars Design Toys
What took them so long to come up with this? Hot Wheels' people thought outside the toy box to celebrate the brand's 40th anniversary by holding the first-ever Designer's Challenge. Automakers were invited to design die-casts that not only look cool, but can also complete a loop on the Hot Wheels orange track. Dodge, Ford, GM, Honda, Lotus, and Mitsubishi took on the deed. Their winning designs will be on sale in the spring.
Magnum, but not magnum opus.>
Chrysler has killed the Dodge Magnum and the PT Cruiser convertible (the hardtop is still breathing), as well as the underrated Crossfire. The official line was that the triple homicide "allows us to focus our resources on new, more profitable and appealing products." Hemi Challengers, maybe?
People and their engine.>
Boss 500 Drag Racing Engine
John Force Racing and Ford have developed the Boss 500. The 500ci nitro engine has Ford main bearings that you can order right out of the Ford catalog; the valve covers are supposed to make you think vintage Ford Boss motor. Ford says the plan is for the new Ford Mustang driver to run the engine in 2008 as it goes through development, then John and Ashley Force will be among those trying it out next. Fun fact for technogeeks: The drag racing mill was designed via analytical tools.
Colored thingies.>
Ford Gets Very Serious About . . . Paint
"Ford is planning its biggest paint changeover in company history," is what the Blue Oval said. Sheesh. They can make anything sound important. The automaker promises that by 2009, 45 percent of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles will feature new paint colors. We were hoping Ford would go all Harry Potter on us-Earwax Clearcoat, Booger Metallic, Sausage-but among the new shades are the tamer Grabber Orange, White Chocolate, and Kiwi Green. By the way, Ford says its research has uncovered that 40 percent of consumers will head to another brand if they can't find the color they want. At least consumers have their priorities straight.
Such a tease, we put a dollar under its wiper.>
'08 Concept 'Cuda
Tasty! We spotted this car at the '07 SEMA show, and like every other enthusiast there, we immediately had to start thinking about baseball and cold showers. As cool as it is, the bummer is that it's not actually a concept from Chrysler, but a privately owned car. It includes a 6.1L Hemi, a Pistol Grip shifter, a lowered suspension (1.5 inches in front, 2 in back), Pirelli PZero rubber (265/35ZR22 at the front end, 305/35ZR22 at the other), Zenetti 22-inch wheels, and six-piston Brembo brakes. The interior is inspired by the Charger SRT8. And that's a carbon-fiber body. How likely is it to see production? Not. But all the drooling reiterated to Dodge folks that the Challenger is the absolute right thing to build.
Not robots.>
'08 Viper SRT10 In Production
Did you know that the workers who handbuild the Dodge Viper and its engine are called craftspersons? Well, those crafty types are kicking the '08 model up a notch. The 8.4L V-10 now makes 90 more horsepower (bringing the total to 600).
The view for spectators will look a lot like this, only less green.>
F1 Loves The Night Life, May Love To Boogie
Next September, Formula 1 will hold its first night race-F1 Grand Prix racing hasn't done this in its entire 57 years. It'll be on a street course in Singapore.
So lifelike. The lizard, too.>
Calling All Artists
For 20 years running, Geico has held the Safety Belt Poster Contest, but this will be the first time it's being opened up to 16-18-year-old high school students, making four eligible age groups. The contest is about helping to spread safety and seatbelt awareness, be it an expression of paint, drawing, cutting, or whatever ("whatever" excludes interpretive dance). In fact, for the first time this year, computer-generated art will have its own category. The winning posters will get reprinted and circulated throughout the country, but what you'll probably care most about is the cash reward that goes with it. The contest ends January 19; learn more at geico.com/about/poster.
Panel SS, coming soon.>
Chevy HHR Panel SS Concept
What happens when you take a race suspension, a turbocharged 2.0L, and a panel body style? You get the HHR Panel SS concept, which Chevrolet says is a peek at a future limited-production model. The 260hp Panel will be at dealers in 2009. The '08 Cobalt will also sport two S's; the turbocharged coupe will make 55 more horsepower than the previous SS (for 260 ponies) and feature a tuned sport suspension, Brembo brakes, and a short-throw shifter. It'll be on sale in mid-2008.
