Hummer H3x: My Must Have Car.

September 29, 2007

I’ve always hated big cars and SUVs. I absolutely despised them. They served no really purpose in my mind, they’re too big, they’re overpriced, drink gasoline like it was water and were difficult to drive. Try getting out of a parking spot at Publix on a Saturday afternoon in one. My opinion of Hummers were the lowest of all the SUVs.
I think GM made the H3 & H3x for all of us Hummer haters out there. They must have, because I absolutely love that car. I saw three of them last Friday. Two on my way to UGA. One on my way back. Because they’re smaller, they maneuver well. All three were driven by women and none seemed to have any trouble navigating through Georgia-on-a-Friday traffic.
Hmm… maybe it’s “the chick’s Hummer”? Well, whatever. I’ve seen dudes in Miatas. I’ve seen big-ass gym rats in Miatas. They looked secure in their masculinity. I don’t think they cared, so why should I? The mpg is still shitty, but it is much, much smaller than the other two – maybe even smaller than a Ford Explorer, yet looks as rock hard as a prize fighter. It drives well, looks good and the $38,000 price tag is justifiable. I think the metallic orange is HOT. Next year… oh, yeah. You will be mine. I don’t care if you are a chick’s car. You’re the coolest chick’s car ever and I love you.

Lamborghini Introduces 1.4 Million Dollar Car.

September 13, 2007

Now you know a person would have to be making serious dinero if they’re pushing one of these. Earlier this week, at the Frankfurt International Auto Show, Lamborghini CEO, Stephann Winklemann, introduced the Reventon – Lamborghini’s newest, most expensive member of the family which will set you back $1.4 million (¥159.7 million/€1 million). However, even if you did, you’re going to have to wait a bit. You see… Lamborghini has only mde 20 of them and they sold out in 4 days. Mostly to Americans.
The car gets its name from a bull that killed famed matador, Felix Guzman back in 1943 …Okay. The designers took the inspiration from fighter jets and is probably the only sports car composed of composite carbon fiber. The automobile has the same V12 60° engine as the much more affordably priced Murcielago. If you define affordable as $305.265 (¥34.8 million/ €219,600). Anyway… this little sexy Mother F-er tops out at 211 mph (340 km/h) – although I think you would need to have your head examined to push this whip around the highway at that speed – and does 0-60 (0-100 km/h) in an astonishing 3.4 seconds. I don’t think I can even blink that fast.
Ole.
