Corvette Stingray (concept car)     The Stingray used elements of the still-born "Q-Corvette" design study as well as the SS underpinnings, featuring a 92-inch (2,337 mm) wheelbase. The new car was exceptionally light, with a dry weight of 2,200 pounds, nearly 1,000 lb (450 kg) lighter than a 1957 production car. Its fuel-injected 283 cubic inch (4.6 L) V-8 engine produced 315 horsepower (235 kW) at 6,200 rpm. The Stingray's body design strongly influenced the styling of the next generation Corvette, which saw production as a 1963 model year. It also was a test bed for many technical developments with a four-speed manual transmission, extensive use of aluminum and a de Dion rear suspension. The Stingray exists today with a 327 cubic inch (5.4 L), fuel-injected V-8 of 375 hp (280 kW).

Project ReD Black - codename 47 You might be thinking this guy is bit crazy, of well yes I am. I had my Ford's Calipers sprayed with Red High temp paint which makes it look nicer when the car is running. Then I realised the Drums are catching rust for some reason. so today on Christmas day, Me My brother and a friend of mine we took off the tires and completed this project. This is how we did. Initial stage : When We removed the tyre.   Then we cleaned the drums with some spirit and took off the rust. Stage 2 Then a re-spray on break calipers  Covering up the break caliper before a spray on the drum and also covering up mud covers and car paint.  This is when it was done and my hand looked so nice  After it was finished Front  Rear  Then I cleaned the discs to take off the color stains. It took me about 3 hours to do this.

Number 10: Gemballa Porsche Carrera  Top Speed of 209 MPH , runs from 0-60 in 3.9 seconds . Wow ! And this is only the last beauty on the list? This Porsche deluxe supercar seems taken out of Need For Speed, to say the least. It swifts on the track at horsepower 612, is made of Aluminum, 68 degree. All thanks to a water cooled V10 Engine. Base Price: 444.000. Number 9: Lamborghini Murcielago  Yes, only 9 in the top 10. The LP640 roars at max 213 mph+, 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. Horsepower: 640, by a V12 Engine. Base price of 430,000 green ones. I mean dollars, not something Green, you don’t even wanna know the mileage of this Italian stud. Number 9 equal tie: Spyker C8 Double 12  This Netherland citizen is tagged a bit lower than most cars on this list: $325,560. But it’s no joking atter,top Speed of 215 mph witht60 reached in 3.5 seconds.Horsepower? 400 round. Number 8: Pagani Zonda  This exotic sounding supercar is in many ways just a sportish Mercedes. Top speed : 215 mph+, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. Horsepower 650 coming from a Mercedes Benz M180 V12 Engine. Base price: $741,000 ! Sounds like a “Stay Away!” protection system or something but the tag is justified, they say. Number 7: Jaguar XJ220  Just when you thought there’s no Brit car in the top! Well, a nice Jag that’s faster than you can think and still half the price of the car above sounds nice enough indeed. Topspeed :217 mph+, 0-60 in 4.0 seconds. Horsepower 542 from a chic Twin Turbo V6 Engine. Oh, I forgot, “only” $345,000. Number 6: Ferrari Enzo  No surprise to find the Enzo on the list. It goes up to 217 mph+, 0-60 in 3.4 seconds. The famed F140 Aluminum V12 Engine powers the car with the roar of 660 horses. Horsie, horsie go ! Price is around thousand times the horsepower: $670,000. Hey, 1,000 bucks for an Italian horse doesn’t seem all that expensive, does it? Number 5: Mclaren F1  Probably a year-round favorite for many out there, the Mclaren F1 has 240 mph+, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds and features the BMW S70/2 60 Degree V12 engine of dreams. That’s 628 hp for : $970,000. Second expensive car on the list. Number 4: Saleen Twin  Someone I know responded, when first hearing about this supercar, “is that a soap opera title?”. Well,it’s actually the fourth fastest car in the world at this point, and Saleen are a cult manufacturer in the U.S. Top speed: 248 mph+, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds . Harsepower 750 thanks to a Twin Turbo All aluminum V8 Engine. All this plus a bag of fries for $555,000. That’s five five five big `uns ! Lucky number I guess… Number 3: (oh yeah, podium time!): Koenigsegg CCX  We just rised above the 800 mph limit. Cheers for Sweden then! Top speed: 250 mph+ , with 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds, 90n Degree V8 Engine pumping out no less than 806 horsepower. Nice specs indeed, and the price on the market is $695,000. Number 2 (close,close!): Bugatti Veyron  Hand down the most stylish vehicle on the list, the Veyron takes only 2.5 seconds to reach 60 mph. So you can’t even “count to three” till this mean machine hits the 100 km/h indicator! Max speed is 254 mph. Do you know the 1001 dalmatians? Well, how about 1001 horsepower? Now these are hard to loose… and they kind bark a bit louder than puppies.An aluminum , Narrow angle W16 Engine powers this wonder car, which can be yours now for only… wait for it… $1,444,000. Gasp! Yes, the most costy one in the top 10 fastest cars of 2009. Wonder in any will top it next year… price-wise I mean. Two photos of the Bugatti out of respect. Number 1, fastest car of the year: SSC Ultimate Aero TT  Well, well. SSC stands for Shelby SuperCars and TT stands for Twin Turbo. But that’s not the most interesting piece of trivia on this car. The Guiness Book of Records tested and recognized this car as the Queen of Queens, throning threshold of speeds never before reached: 257 mph+, 0-60 in 2.7 seconds, with Horsepower of 1183. Surprisingly, it costs almost half the price of the Bugatti Veyron, $654,400. At 413 kilometres per hour I’m sure the cops might ponder a bit whether to chase you or not…

1. It boasts how long it can stay up. Whereas previous versions of Windows were coy about how long they went between boots, XP is positively proud of its stamina. Go to the Command Prompt in the Accessories menu from the All Programs start button option, and then type 'systeminfo'. The computer will produce a lot of useful info, including the uptime. If you want to keep these, type 'systeminfo > info.txt'. This creates a file called info.txt you can look at later with Notepad. (Professional Edition only).
2. You can delete files immediately, without having them move to the Recycle Bin first. Go to the Start menu, select Run... and type 'gpedit.msc'; then select User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows Components, Windows Explorer and find the Do not move deleted files to the Recycle Bin setting. Set it. Poking around in gpedit will reveal a great many interface and system options, but take care -- some may stop your computer behaving as you wish. (Professional Edition only).
3. You can lock your XP workstation with two clicks of the mouse. Create a new shortcut on your desktop using a right mouse click, and enter 'rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation' in the location field. Give the shortcut a name you like. That's it -- just double click on it and your computer will be locked. And if that's not easy enough, Windows key + L will do the same.
4. XP hides some system software you might want to remove, such as Windows Messenger, but you can tickle it and make it disgorge everything. Using Notepad or Edit, edit the text file /windows/inf/sysoc.inf, search for the word 'hide' and remove it. You can then go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel, select Add/Remove Windows Components and there will be your prey, exposed and vulnerable.
5. For those skilled in the art of DOS batch files, XP has a number of interesting new commands. These include 'eventcreate' and 'eventtriggers' for creating and watching system events, 'typeperf' for monitoring performance of various subsystems, and 'schtasks' for handling scheduled tasks. As usual, typing the command name followed by /? will give a list of options -- they're all far too baroque to go into here.
6. XP has IP version 6 support -- the next generation of IP. Unfortunately this is more than your ISP has, so you can only experiment with this on your LAN. Type 'ipv6 install' into Run... (it's OK, it won't ruin your existing network setup) and then 'ipv6 /?' at the command line to find out more. If you don't know what IPv6 is, don't worry and don't bother.
7. You can at last get rid of tasks on the computer from the command line by using 'taskkill /pid' and the task number, or just 'tskill' and the process number. Find that out by typing 'tasklist', which will also tell you a lot about what's going on in your system.
8. XP will treat Zip files like folders, which is nice if you've got a fast machine. On slower machines, you can make XP leave zip files well alone by typing 'regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll' at the command line. If you change your mind later, you can put things back as they were by typing 'regsvr32 zipfldr.dll'.
9. XP has ClearType -- Microsoft's anti-aliasing font display technology -- but doesn't have it enabled by default. It's well worth trying, especially if you were there for DOS and all those years of staring at a screen have given you the eyes of an astigmatic bat. To enable ClearType, right click on the desktop, select Properties, Appearance, Effects, select ClearType from the second drop-down menu and enable the selection. Expect best results on laptop displays. If you want to use ClearType on the Welcome login screen as well, set the registry entry HKEY_USERS/.DEFAULT/Control Panel/Desktop/FontSmoothingType to 2.
10. You can use Remote Assistance to help a friend who's using network address translation (NAT) on a home network, but not automatically. Get your pal to email you a Remote Assistance invitation and edit the file. Under the RCTICKET attribute will be a NAT IP address, like 192.168.1.10. Replace this with your chum's real IP address
11. You can run a program as a different user without logging out and back in again. Right click the icon, select Run As... and enter the user name and password you want to use. This only applies for that run. The trick is particularly useful if you need to have administrative permissions to install a program, which many require. Note that you can have some fun by running programs multiple times on the same system as different users, but this can have unforeseen effects.
12. Windows XP can be very insistent about you checking for auto updates, registering a Passport, using Windows Messenger and so on. After a while, the nagging goes away, but if you feel you might slip the bonds of sanity before that point, run Regedit, go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explorer/Advanced and create a DWORD value called EnableBalloonTips with a value of 0.
13. You can start up without needing to enter a user name or password. Select Run... from the start menu and type 'control userpasswords2', which will open the user accounts application. On the Users tab, clear the box for Users Must Enter A User Name And Password To Use This Computer, and click on OK. An Automatically Log On dialog box will appear; enter the user name and password for the account you want to use.
14. Internet Explorer 6 will automatically delete temporary files, but only if you tell it to. Start the browser, select Tools / Internet Options... and Advanced, go down to the Security area and check the box to Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed.
15. XP comes with a free Network Activity Light, just in case you can't see the LEDs twinkle on your network card. Right click on My Network Places on the desktop, then select Properties. Right click on the description for your LAN or dial-up connection, select Properties, then check the Show icon in notification area when connected box. You'll now see a tiny network icon on the right of your task bar that glimmers nicely during network traffic.
16. The Start Menu can be leisurely when it decides to appear, but you can speed things along by changing the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Desktop/MenuShowDelay from the default 400 to something a little snappier. Like 0.
17. You can rename loads of files at once in Windows Explorer. Highlight a set of files in a window, then right click on one and rename it. All the other files will be renamed to that name, with individual numbers in brackets to distinguish them. Also, in a folder you can arrange icons in alphabetised groups by View, Arrange Icon By... Show In Groups.
18. Windows Media Player will display the cover art for albums as it plays the tracks -- if it found the picture on the Internet when you copied the tracks from the CD. If it didn't, or if you have lots of pre-WMP music files, you can put your own copy of the cover art in the same directory as the tracks. Just call it folder.jpg and Windows Media Player will pick it up and display it.
19. Windows key + Break brings up the System Properties dialogue box; Windows key + D brings up the desktop; Windows key + Tab moves through the taskbar buttons.
20. The next release of Windows XP, codenamed Longhorn, is due out late next year or early 2003 and won't be much to write home about

Honda ‘Personal-Neo Urban Transport’ Concept The Honda Personal-Neo Urban Transport (P-NUT) design study model demonstrates a futuristic concept for an ultra-compact and sophisticated city coupe, American Honda Motor Co., Inc., announced today at the 2009 Los Angeles Auto Show. Conceived around a small “footprint” for maximum convenience in tight urban settings, the packaging concept integrates a center driving position configuration and a rear powertrain layout. The exterior styling leverages crisp angles with dynamic flowing lines that originate from the front of the vehicle and span outward toward the rear. The end result is a sleek and aggressive exterior that also allows for a spacious and open interior with excellent visibility.      The exterior styling is intended to capture a future direction for premium sophistication while balancing the need for maximum interior space and an aerodynamic appearance. The interior layout, in conjunction with the rear powertrain design, contributes prominently to the exterior’s overall shape.The layout of the interior space, with its center driving position flanked by two rear seats, provides generous legroom for all occupants, roughly the equivalent of a mid-sized sedan in a vehicle that has an exterior footprint similar to a micro car. Interior functionality is increased by rear seating areas that fold up and out of the way to increase storage capacity. The windshield serves as a heads-up display for the navigation system and the back-up camera.The modular rear engine bay, depicted on the exterior by blue composite material, is designed to accommodate a wide variety of potential propulsion technologies including a conventional small displacement internal combustion engine, a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain, or a battery-electric powertrain. Specifications Size class: Ultra-compact Layout: Rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive Passengers: 3 Length: 3,400 mm Width: 1,750 mm Height: 1,439 mm Powertrain: Internal-combustion engine, hybrid-electric or battery-electric

MAzda 2 Concepts Mazda 2Evil    This concept is inspired by the weekend track car but one that can function equally well as an urban commuter. The body has been modified to show a more aggressive front spoiler and a deeper side rocker for improved aerodynamics and lower overall stance. A strong lower diffuser is added to enhance the rear proportion and more emphasis is placed on the exhaust tip. The rear upper spoiler was redesigned for both additional downforce and a race appearance. The dynamic MAZDA2 body is finished in Ceramic Grey metallic with subtle motorsports inspired graphics. The graphics are finished off with the historic number 55, a tribute to the 1991 Le Mans-winning Mazda 787B race car. Wheels, mirrors and other details are accented in Spirited Green. To top it off, the performance and stance are enhanced with 17? wheels, 215/45/17 Yokahama Advan tires, lowered coil-over suspension provided by H&R and Magna performance exhaust. Mazda Active2 Surf    The Active2 Surf exterior showcases a more aggressive front bumper and rocker. Adding to the sport theme, 17? wheels with 215/45/17 Yokahama Tires and H&R coil over suspension were applied. The sheet metal is finished in Spirited Green and detailed with Active2 graphics. These subtle effects are displayed on the hood and driver-side fender. The graphics are finished in graphite and white, with matching wheels and mirrors. To support the overall concept, the Active2 Surf has been set up with a Thule roof rack system and a matching carbon fiber surfboard. Mazda Active2 Snow     The Active2 Snow exterior showcases a more aggressive front bumper and rocker. Adding to the sport theme, 17″ wheels with 215/45/17 Yokahama Tires and H&R coil over suspension were applied. The sheet metal is finished in Frozen White and detailed with Active2 graphics. These subtle effects are displayed on the hood and driver-side fender. The graphics are finished in graphite and Spirited Green, with matching wheels and mirrors. To support the overall concept, the Active2 Snow has been set up with a Thule roof rack system and matching snowboards.

A woman was walking down the street when she was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked for a couple of dollars for dinner. She took out her wallet, got out ten dollars and asked,
- "If I give you this money, will you buy some wine with it instead of dinner?
- "No, I had to stop drinking years ago", the homeless woman said.
- "Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" she asked.
