Imagine rush hour and road rage...in three dimensions. A flying car would obviosuly be better than a hovering car. Ideally a verticle launch vehicle would be best.. something which could lift of vertically, then you could take off from your driveway, roof, back garden etc... not every home has space for a runway. Muhahaha... I have a quick 5min idea which could put me into earths orbit cheaply LOL LOL!!! Make a lil tiny ship, about 3metre square, and make it airtight lol. Then take it into the garden. Equip it with hundreds of BBQ gas tins, make some technical mechanism for the tins.. and have a hot air balloon on the top.. (a hot air balloon can take you higher than any jet aeroplace I hear), so when I get to the maximum height the balloon takes me, I can seperate from the balloon and ignite all gas canisters LOL... That actually probably would realisticly get me into orbit, Id probably be dead like, but it would work LOL. ____________

	I know that the Flying car has received a lot of press in the past couple of years. I'm a big fan of the Moller International Skycar. Their model M400b was advertised in the Christmas 2005 Nieman Marcus catalogue for a sale price of $3.6 million dollars. There were no takers. In October 2006, Moller attempted to auction the only prototype of its M400 model on eBay. It failed to sell. The highest bid was $3,000,100 which failed to meet the reserve bid price of $3,500,000. The company also had a bit of a legal setback in 2003. The Securities and Exchange Commission sued Moller for civil fraud in connection with the sale of unregistered stock, and for making unsubstantiated claims about the performance of the Skycar. Moller settled this lawsuit by agreeing to a permanent injunction and paying $50,000. In the words of the SEC complaint, "As of late 2002, MI's approximately 40 years' of development has resulted in a prototype Skycar capable of hovering about fifteen feet above the ground." So unfortunately funding for the project on the public stock exchange is a no-go. I really hope they find funding to carry on with the project. It would be wonderful if these ever became affordable. Here's a pic of the Moller 400b in action: ____________

	If I without notice, just launched, took off, and emerged, from my back garden in a flying car... and flew off into the sunset... Would the RAF (Royal Air Force, UK) come after me with fighter jets??? Also, if somehow I built an orbital space vehicle and phoned the governement and said "Im going to space, goodbye"... would they just think I was a looney... or would they scramble a fighter jet, a missile.. or even one of NASA's Shuttles after me lol??? And I wonder what the governents response would be if all of a sudden, a warp-powered starship swooped into orbit, with hundreds of humans on board.. from maybe 500 years into the future... How would we all act? Anyway, back to the flying car topic lol.. yeah, well... any flying vehicle doesnt handle as well as tires on a road does it... like a hovercraft or any other air vehicle, even a boat for that matter... you dont get the same level of handling... Would it be logical to abandon tires for an air approach?? James ____________

	Pimp my car!!! Good God!!! Is that an Austin Nash Metropolitan? Pee Wee Herman & a 1958 Metropolitan, circa 1985.

I asked myself the same question, then looked it up. The right side is the rear, I believe. http://www.seriouswheels.com/cars/top-2005-Pininfarina-Maserati-Birdcage-Concept.htm It was designed by Pininfarina, the famous coach-maker of the ferraris and also the lambourghinis (I believe).

	2007 Ford Interceptor Concept Concept looks too much like an actual Chrysler 300C to me, with the front end (grill, mainly, and bonnet) nicked from a Range Rover. Looks like they liked the looks of the Chrysler, but needed to mod it slightly to try and put people off the accusation of having no original design ideas.

WHen a sales man did show up, he was a bit condescending when asking what he could do for her. She said "I want that one". He said "Oh really? And how are you going to pay for it?.

	The last car I bought was a Buick LaSabre (don't laugh). I went into the dealers show room looking casual, walking around looking at the various cars (I had already picked out one in the their new car lot). When a sales person finally approached me I told him about the one I wanted and the MSRP price on the window. He quoted me a slightly lower price than the MSRP. I asked him for a pen and paper, took the MSRP, multiplied it by 0.845, which was the price they paided for it and added $750 for their profit. At first they wouldn't take my offer, fine OK, then I explained to them I knew that it was near the end of the month, the end of the quarter, and the factory inventory bonus time was coming up, as well as their having to make another inventory interest payment on the unsold vehicle. They asked me if I had ever been in the business, and I joked back at them...who knows? The sales manager said he would give me my price if I bought the car there and then...I said OK, and we shook hands on it. When they came out with the paperwork and started to fill in the financing agreement, I pulled out my cheque book and signed a cheque for the entire amount. The saleman was in shock, because there went his entire commission and most of the dealers profit, because they thought they'd get their money back through finance commissions. Oh well...it felt nice to screw the screwers. They didn't even get the sales tax because I was taking it to my home state (lower tax), where the DMV would collect the taxes. Mind you I had to wait a few days for the cheque to clear, but that was a minor convienence after saving thousands of dollars. ____________ Account frozen...

	Renault Reinastella Created back in 1992 by the imaginative Renault design team based in Paris, Reinastella was first unveiled to the public on 2nd April that year on the Champs-Elysees at the permanent Renault exhibition showroom. Reinastella was designed with the intention of showing how personal transport might appear in the year 2038 and was physically created following Renault?s decision to become involved with the world-famous Euro Disney theme park. The concept formed an important part of the attraction?s Visonarium 360 degree cinema trip through the centuries and at Goodwood this year, the astounding 12-year-old concept will undoubtedly turn heads once more and prove to be one of the most major talking points of the entire three-day festival. While Reinastella will be the centre-piece of a space-scape built to house the ?Future Cars? display in the Cartier Style et Luxe area, the event will also feature separate displays of the Renaultsport brand of roadcars - including the Clio 182, Clio V6 255 and Megane 225 ? a current R24 Formula One car and also a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the much-loved MPV Renault Espace ____________ MAKING IT SHINE IN 2009!

	You'll notice I haven't posted any Lambourghini pics. I'll tell you why: they may look good and go fast, but they are the most uncomfortable cars I've ever been in! :( They are loud, cramped, stiff seated, and have the bumpiest ride of any sports car I've been in. So looks aren't everything. ;) Wait a minute, more bumpy than a Viper ? Or a Jeep C-J5...? ____________

Either they never heard of shock absorbers or they figure the roughest ride is "part of the thrill". Go Figure. LOL Actually it is springs that reduce the harsh bumps. However if you have springs, you need shock absorbers to maintain control (worn shocks allow the car to rock several times after a bump - no shocks means that the car keeps rocking for several minutes after a bump). If a car has a harsh ride, the springs and the shocks are stiff for the weight (Lambourghini, empty dump truck). If it floats like a boat (Cadilac) the springs and shocks are a bit weak for the weight. ____________ BOINC WIKI

	The Cyclone, a 1959 show car 1959 Cyclone The Cyclone, a 1959 show car with an aircraft-inspired design, explored futuristic technology. An early version of a crash avoidance system was the Cyclone's radar-sensing technology that provided the driver with information on an object ahead, including distance to the object and stopping distance. When a sensor in the console detected rain, it automatically put up the one-piece bubble top. ____________ MAKING IT SHINE IN 2009!

	Ultima GTR720 The Ultima GTR720 is a world record breaking supercar manufactured in the UK. Available either pre-built or as a self-build kit, the Ultima GTR is really the benchmark for home-build sports cars. The '720' in the title refers to horsepower. Prior to the GTR720's introduction Ultima's top spec model was the GTR640, also a world record breaker. Power comes from a mid-mounted 6.3 litre Chevrolet V8 driving the rear wheels through a 5 speed gearbox. In July 2006, an Ultima GTR720 set four new speed records for a road car, breaking Ultima's own records. In road going form, with road tires, a GTR720 driven by Richard Marlow (Ultima's director) set the fastest 0-60 mph time (2.6 seconds), the fastest 0-100 mph time (5.3 seconds), the fastest 100 mph - 0 time (3.6 seconds), and the fastest 0-100 mph and back down to 0 again (9.4 seconds). This puts the Ultima GTR720 ahead of legendary supercars like the Mclaren F1, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT and Pagani Zonda F for accelaration and breaking performance. And while the styling might not be world class, it's not that bad either. ____________ MAKING IT SHINE IN 2009!
