A Good Year at Ford

It’s been a good year for Ford. They did have to deal withsome recalls involving wheel bearing hub assemblies on some sedans and rustingfuel tanks containing fuel pump assemblies on trucks. However, like other autocompanies, Ford had a very strong year and will be giving out bonuses to theirworkers for the first time since the financial meltdown. Ford has gained steam thispast year selling more than 2 million cars for the first time since 2007, andthey show no signs of stopping with their completely remodeled 2013 lineup.

The Ford Escape, Fusion, Taurus and Focus will all show dramatic departures in styling from previous years in 2013. I’m really likingthe 2013 Ford Fusion whose front-end (to me) resembles that of an Aston Martin.The Fusion will come not only in a gasoline-powered model, but in electricplug-in and hybrid versions as well. The Ford Escape, which has kept its boxystyling since it was introduced over ten years ago, will now resemble more of across-over with its new curves and smoother lines.

What might be the coolest part of future Ford automobiles isthe technology that they will be equipped with. Ford’s MyFord Touch and SYNCsystem not only syncs all of your devices to the vehicle but takes it one stepfurther with voice-activated commands. You will now be able to tell your carwhat song to play, have it read you your text messages, and also reply to thosemessages through voice commands. New safety features include inflatable rearsafety belts and vehicle sensors used to monitor blinds spots and givecollision warnings. You can simply set a cruise control speed and the distanceyou want to maintain from the vehicle in front of you, and the car willautomatically slow down to avoid collisions. Other cool features includecap-less fuel tanks as well as the ability to control the color of dash and interior ambientlighting (blue, red, green, you name it!). Will 2012 be another great year forFord?

Super Bowl Car Commercials

Cooling fans suck, radiator fans blow, and Super Bowl fans are known for loving commercials. A lot of times they are better than the actual game.  Whether they are funny like the BudweiserFrogs, sexy like the Cindy Crawford Pepsi spot, or a marketing masterpieceresembling the Apple 1984 commercial, they’re always entertaining.  The auto industry has always been a keyplayer in Super Bowl ads and they will continue to be this year.

Volkswagen found a lot of success last year with acommercial staring a youngster dressed up like Darth Vader.  The commercial not only ranked high for theSuper Bowl, but it also won some awards for best commercial of the year.  The company hopes to grow on this commercial’ssuccess with another Star Wars themed spot. In this year’s advertisement, VW ups the cuteness from a kid to puppies.Check out a teaser of the commercial CLICK HERE

Chevy also released one of their Super Bowl commercials.  It’s called “Chevy Happy Grad.”  The commercial is a humorous romp created bysome miscommunication. Now, I can continue with pompous movie critic phrasessuch as “humorous romp,” or you can just watch the commercial CLICK HERE

Kia plans to air a sixty second commercial, and I don’t knowwhat it’s officially titled but it should be called, “A 12 Year Old Boy’sDream.”  It features UFC Fighter Chuck Lidell,Victoria’s Secret Model Adriana Lima, and Motley Crue.  It’s too bad 12 year olds can’t drive cars,and it is also a shame that I cannot figure out how to put those two littledots over the “o” and “u” in “Motley Crue.”

Other car companies that are going to buy commercial time onthe Super Bowl are Honda, Acura, Hyundai, and Toyota.  And,  for the very first time in the history of the company, Lexus is also going to run an ad during thegame,

Bio-ethanol May not Be The Biggest Hit But it Packs a Punch

Over the past few years car companies have been pushing theuse of alternative fuels for vehicles. Most of these have gone unnoticed,mainly due to the fact that they are less potent than gasoline.  The fuel pump and fuel pump assembly areable to handle Ethanol without issue and the engines can as well.

The facts about Ethanol are easily seen, while the fuel maynot work well in normal engines but once a few key components are changed towork with ethanol…watch out! The main issue caused by the way ethanol ignites, newinjector timing and ignition are the main issues. Companies like Honda or Toyotahave not really tried to push this set up because the cost to the averageconsumer would be around $3000 and not many of us are just willing to drop thatmuch coin.

The companies that have been able to take advantage of theethanol change are companies like Ferrari or Koenigsegg. While most of us willnever be able to afford anything that these companies off…especially Koenigseggwho mainly makes cars that cost close to a million dollars, the technology isthere for the taking.  New technology isalways showcased in the more expensive cars and trickles down to the rest ofus, usually in the Mercedes S class. Ferrari recently released the FF which isa 4WD that makes 650HP but tune it for Ethanol and that number jumps to around875HP. That’s right no forced induction just a good tune. Koenigsegg tuned theAgera R from 927HP up to 1,100HP just by using Ethanol and there are many otherexamples of this fuel doing great things. Maybe sooner than later it willbecome main stream…oh and did I mention that it is a renewable fuel source.

Lamborghini Aventador Look Like Hot

Lamborghini is really good at creating sinister super sports cars, but it is equally as talented at naming them. According to the company, "Aventador" was the name of a bull that entered into battle on October 1993 at the Saragossa Arena, earning the "Trofeo de la Pena La Madroñera" for its outstanding courage. Having the courage to go up against a new world of super sports cars will be the name of the game for the new Lamborghini flagship. Today’s world is extremely high-tech and many new players have entered the arena.

"Aventador" was, according to the best detective work we can muster, a bull whose career peaked in 1993 in the town of Saragozza, Spain, when he and the torero had a particularly spirited encounter prior to ol' Aventador's inevitable skewering.
This particular beastie belonged to the breeding stables of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides and, for unknown reasons surely banal, he bore the number 32 singed on his hide. And now he gets the strongest Lamborghini ever built named after him. And about damned time! The British were getting tired of mispronouncing "Murcièlago" over the past ten years and now they have a new proper name to mutilate.

The doors open upward of course
Truly impressive proportions come from an overall length of 4,78 meters (188.19 in.) matched with an impressive width of 2,26 meters (88.98 in.) including the exterior mirrors, and further accentuated by an extremely low height of just 1.136 mm (44.72 in.). It goes without saying that both doors of the carbon-fiber monocoque open upward - a feature that was first introduced in the now legendary Countach and then used for subsequent V12 models such as Diablo and Murciélago. However, the Aventador also evokes its immediate predecessor the Murciélago - electronically managed air intakes open depending on the outdoor temperature and the need for cooling air,ensuring maximum aerodynamic efficiency. And for those whishing to flaunt the heart of their Lamborghini, the optional transparent engine bonnet exhibits the twelve-cylinder engine like a technical work of art in a display case.

The price of the Lamborghini Aventador and market delivery

UK: GBP 201.900,00 (suggested retail price taxes excluded)

Europe: € 255.000 (suggested retail price taxes excluded)

USA: 379.700 USD (suggested retail price - GGT included)

China: RMB 6.270.000,00 (suggested retail price taxes included)

Japan: YEN 39.690.000,00 (suggested retail price taxes included)

The first customers will take delivery of the new Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in late summer 2011.

Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone Case

I know how to repair steering parts and I know how to diagnose a failed turbocharger, but I cannot figure out how to keep my iPhonecase scratch free.  Yes, the whole reasonwhy you buy a case is so that it gets the scratches instead of the phone, but Iam a car guy so any type of scratches bothers me.  Well, it looks like it annoyed some other,more important car guys too.  Nissan hascome out with an iPhone case that heals itself from scratches.

The Japanese car company says this case is the first one tohave “self-healing technology.” At first this sounded unbelievable, like somethingout of a science fiction movie.  This isa phone case, not an alligator’s tail. Nevertheless, as I read more about thecase it sounded more plausible.

The iPhone case’s outer layer of paint is the same scratchproof paint Nissan uses on some of their vehicles.  The active ingredient that makes this stuffmagical is called polyrotaxane.  (It’sword like polyrotaxane that make me happy to be a writer and not a reporter. Icouldn’t pronounce that correctly if you gave me a hundred tries.) When thecase gets dinged the chemicals flexible structure reacts by reverting back toits original state.  This action makes itlook like the case is healing itself.   Smallscratches can take less than an hour to heal, while deeper cuts can take up toa week.

The case is currently on a trial run in Europe.  If tests go well and demand is high, Nissanwill bring the iPhone case to market.  Iam not sure why they are spending all this money on testing these cases.  They could have just given my 3 year old nephewone of these things for a day and found out its true power.   

"You May Not Run Out of Gas" - Youngstown, OH

In light of news that Massachusetts has been charging $275to fight a traffic ticket whether you win or lose, I was wondering what other ridiculousregulations were going on out there in the car world. I’m not talking about requirementsthat ensure your fuel injectors and turbochargers are in good working condition.I’m talking about some ridiculous, yet very real, traffic regulations such asit being illegal for a driver in Alabama to be blindfolded while operating avehicle. This is obviously so dangerous that it should be illegal, but I wonderwhat happened down the line that this had to become an actual law.

Some of these laws are so old and just haven’t yet beenabolished, while others are due to not-so-smart people doing some not-so-smartthings. In California, no vehicle without a driver may exceed 60 mph. Also,women may not drive in a house coat. In Arcadia, CA peacocks have the right ofway to cross any street, and in Temecula ducks have the right of way at alltimes. In San Diego, it is illegal to shoot jackrabbits from the back of a streetcar.Is your car getting dirty? Don’t go to Downey, CA where it is illegal to washyour car in the street.

Head over to the east coast and you’ll find some prettycrazy regulations as well. In Hartford, CT it is illegal to cross the street ifyou happen to be walking on your hands. In Marietta, GA it is illegal to spitfrom a car or bus, but you can from a truck! In Tennessee, driving is NOT to bedone while asleep. In Virginia Beach, if you are drunk and not driving, but thedriver is drunk as well, you can BOTH receive a DUI. What if you happen to hita pedestrian in Sarasota, FL? Be prepared to pay the $78 fine.

While many of these regulations were made many, many yearsago and just haven’t been abolished, they are all still active laws in theirrespective states. While I don’t think that a woman would be ticketed fordriving a car without a man waving a flag in front of it (yes, this is still “illegal”in Louisiana), it is interesting to read some of these outdated traffic laws. Andback to Massachusetts charging $275 to fight a ticket. They say these fees arenecessary as thousands of people appeal tickets which are causingrising administrative costs. Sounds to me like pressure to just pay your ticketwhether it was deserved or not, and I don’t think you should be charged todefend yourself in court.

The Tow Plow

The kids are screaming in the back seat so you look down topress play on your DVD Player, but when you look back up you see what appearsto be an out of control semi.  You panicand yell out, “HOLY FUEL PUMP! That truck has lost control.” I am here to informyou not to worry; it is all part of the show. This crazy device cruising down the highway is called the Tow Plow.  It’s a snow plow on steroids.  It can do the job of two and a half snowplows all by itself.  It makes the Mr.Plow look pathetic.

The Tow Plow is basically what it sounds like.  It is another plow that a normal snowplowtows behind it.  The operator of the snowplow can operate the tow plow with two controls.  One of the controls lifts and lowers theblade, while the other steers the device. The primary use of the Tow Plow is toclear highways with multiple lanes. It can do its job at speeds up to 55 milesper hour, and can also come equipped with the ability to drop sand, salt, or liquidcalcium chloride.

The Tow Plow was developed in Missouri but is currentlybeing used in several states, such as Minnesota, Utah, Maine, andPennsylvania.  Even though it costs a hefty$100,000, states say it makes sense to buy them, because it does the job of twoplows and two snow plow drivers.  Check out a video of the Tow Plow in action, CLICK HERE.

Cars to Avoid on Friday the 13th

Car Problems are a scary thing.  It does not matter whether it’s a faultyDiesel Injector or a malfunctioning Engine Control Module.  The issue is either going to cause unsafedriving, or scare the stuffing out of your wallet.  Although failing car parts are bone-chilling,cars themselves can be even more menacing. Over the years, the movie industry has tapped into this and has given ussome classic movie villains.  While themovie, Friday the 13^th did not star any of these vehicles, I thoughtI would mention some of the definitive horror cars to honor this day.

Any conversation about horror movies and cars must start withChristine.  The killer in this JohnCarpenter movie was a 1958 Plymouth Fury. In Stephen King’s book Christine was haunted by her past owner, but inthe movie adaptation the car was born bad. The film’s tagline claims the vehicle was possessed by Hell.  So, before you decide to restore an oldPlymouth make sure you warn your girlfriend, because it may try to kill her.

One of the creepier cars to grace the silver screen was therusty old 1941 ChevyCOE (Cab Over Engine) in Jeeper Creepers.  The movie starts off with a young brother andsister driving back from spring break in a 1960 Chevy Impala.  As they drive through some corn fields themassive COE tries to run them off the road. Then a bunch of people die, more non-car related stuff happens, the driverof the COE grows wings and I think someone gets eaten.  At least I know the COE’s license plate was,B EATING U, so someone better have gotten eaten.

Stephen King makes his second contribution to this list withhis 80’s horror movie stinker Maximum Overdrive.  In this movie, Emilio Estevez is chased by abunch of vehicles that came alive because of a freak radiation storm.  The leader of these deadly automobiles is aWhite Western Star 4800 semi-truck, with the face of Green Goblin fromSpiderman.  Unlike the Spiderman moviethis Green Goblin was not voiced by Willem Dafoe, it simply made a lot of vroomvroom and toot toot sounds.

Honorable mentions go to, Herbie from The Love Bug and TheDelorean from Back to the Future 2. Herbie makes the list because anything thathas to do with Lindsay Lohan scares the me. Sadly, the Dolorean gets a mention because Back to the Future 2 was oneof the worst sequels of all time, It was scary bad.  Also, it’s 2012… WHERE IS MY HOVERBOARD!!!

Hope you have a frightening Friday the 13^th Muahahahahaha

2013 Honda Accord Coupe Concept

From a power train perspective, Honda’s playing a bit of catch-up to the industry. Like many of its competitors, the next Accord will finally boast a direct-injection four-cylinder- in this case, a 2.4-liter I-4 from Honda’s new “Earth Dreams” power train portfolio. This engine can be mated with either a five-speed manual or a new CVT. Honda’s 3.5-liter V-6 will also return, albeit in a slightly modified form that should yield a bit more power.

Honda’s also already playing up the tech angle, noting the next Accord will offer its new multi-angle rear-view camera, lane departure warning, and forward collision avoidance systems. All models will receive a conventional rear-view camera, Bluetooth phone connectivity, a SMS text messaging function, and Pandora internet radio compatibility as standard equipment.
The new Accord will also be the first to offer Honda’s new LaneWatch blind-spot detection system, which uses a camera mounted on the lower corner of the passenger-side rear-view mirror, and is tied to a display embedded in the mirror itself.

How much, how soon? The production version of the almost-there concept is expected to arrive in showrooms this fall, at a price in line with the Accord’s current range of $22,000 to $32,000, though the plug-in’s pricing is a wild card.

How’s it look? A curving roofline extends nearly to the end of the rear deck. A side line begins at the front wheel well and races up toward the tail. The headlights and parking lights are elaborately bejeweled and would be unlikely candidates for production. Over all, this is a trim and stylish coupe, if not a bona fide head-turner.

The more exciting news is the return of the Accord hybrid, which will be powered by a new two-motor plug-in hybrid system. In all-electric mode it will have a range of 10-15 miles and a top speed of 62 mph. It will take less than four hours to recharge using a 120-volt outlet or less than 1.5 hours with a 240-volt charger. In gasoline-electric mode the Accord hybrid uses a 2.0L Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine paried with an electric continuously variable transmission.
For more efficient high-speed cruising, the Accord Plug-In Hybrid can engage in a direct-drive mode.
The Accord plug-in hybrid will launch next winter.

ELEGANT AND LUXURY CAR TechArt Porsche 911 Turbo GTstreet R (2008)

Porsche 911 Turbo, Techart GTStreet R will be released for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show. This new GTStreet R model has 660Hp and 860Nm of torque and as a surprise it is suitable for the streets thanks to the LED day driving lights that were mounted and to the system that allows it to raise the front end with about 60mm.

TechArt mounted a 4 wheel drive system on the Porsche 911 Turbo,changed its clutch and modified the transmission so it would be perfectly optimised for what the power asks.

With these modification the Porsche 911 Turbo, Techart GTStreet R reaches 100km/h in 3.5s and has a top speed of 345km/h

TechArt couldn`t just send the car to the Geneva Motor Show without a streamlined kit, so they decided to lower the front spoiler to provide more downthrust and improve the airflow towards the intercooler an brakes. In the back for that optimal drag coefficient to be reached they modified the rear spoiler,created new air inlets and integrated a rear diffuser.All these improved the handling

The Porsche 911 Turbo, Techart GTStreet R was given TECHART Formula 5-spoke 19″ and 20″ light weight rims, dressed with Conti Sport Contact 3 or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Plus tires.

The interior of the Techart GTStreet R was given the finest leather.Also carbon fiber insertions and aluminum insertions can be found inside.TECHART leather sport seats could not be missing from this tuning package and of course theGTStreet R logo inserted all over the interior.
