Why I Dont Like Top Gear U.K.

Hear me out, Top Gear U.K. is a great show for a good laugh.  Sure if you like cars than ya its a great show.   But some of the things that they say are just plain ridiculous.  For example i dislike how they fully put down cars as great as the BMW M3 because "cocks drive them."  This really is not a reason to hate a car.  Sure they are a great show- and one of the better car shows out there.  Except I just think their reasoning for their decisions is bad.  

1971 Barracuda

There are many musclce cars that one can look at and can consider beautiful and great.  For example, in my opinion i feel that the 1970-1973 Firebirds were some of the nicest cars every made.  As well as with the 442, partifularly the 1969 model.  But there has been another car that i have fallen in love with over the last year.  This car is the 1971 Plymouth Barracuda, commonly referred as 'cuda.  When i originally fell in love with Firebirds, which was two years ago I decided to buy one, a 71 Trans Am.  Before i bought the car though i had researched it completely.  I knew everything from different posi rear ends to just the reason the of how the car was actually designed.  This has happened to me again though.  I for the second time in my life have compeletly fallen in love with yet another car.  None other than the 71 'cuda.  Like the Trans Am it as well has a shaker. Like other cars, like the challenger, it has shout outs on the side, commonly referred to as billboards.  Right when you see that Billboard that says Hemi on it you know you have found a fast and truely good car, regardless that it is a mopar.  Except the thing that i love the most about this car is how i have gotten indulged into studying them, just as i have studied the Firebird.  I have seen so many videos on youtube about the car, only wishing that i could have seen more.  The 71 'cuda is a very rare and beautiful car.  There production was so low that i doubt that i will every see more than a handful of them here in the Northeast of the United States.  'Cudas especially the 70 to 71 years are very hard to find.  In all my years of going to car shows i have only seen one of them, a Sassy Green 70 with a shaker and made into a hemi clone.  Now begins the search of car.  Ill be spending hours on end now searching craigslist nationally for just  the car, regardless of where it is.  There truely is no greater car than a 71 'cuda in my eyes.


   

A New Mustang and even maybe a New Camaro?

A couple of days ago i was reading off of Moter Trend's website and I saw a story of how the mustang was going to get a makeover in 2015.  I saw some of the pictures of the Mustang and to me it looks like its just going to be a shinier and newer Evo.  But still something that I have noticed is with these pony cars is when one company changes the body style than another company changes the body style of their car.  I noticed this relevant back with cars like the Pontiac Firebird how it had a new body style in 70 from the original body style in 69.  This is also apparent with the Cheverolet Camaro how it had some change from 69 to 70.  Even Cheverolet did this with the Camaro at the time.  Oh and by the way these body styles that i am calling them re actually called generations.  But anyways, what worries me that Cheverolet may decide to go with the flow that Ford is doing and decide to begin creating a new generation for the Camaro just to give the Mustang competition for buyers like you.  I think though that now the Camaro is actually a really nice looking cars like the 12 version is really nice and in my opinion a lot nicer than the mustang.  I hope Camaro doesnt do it but i feel they will. 

Cars, Gas, Advice Too???

Cars are at that point where there is nothing better than them now.  We are finding out new ways to make them all better as long as your ready to pay that extra buck.  But what worries me is what is going to be happening in the future for cars.  I honestly doubt well have anything like those in the TV show the Jetsons except what I am worried about is that right now we are hitting well a period of just crappy cars.  This is only a opinion but this wouldnt even be just the first period because weve seen a period of crap before in 85-95.  We had just hideous cars because at that time people were understanding that they needed better gas mileage.  Back then yes they worked to it and they set us up for today as a landmark as how cars could possibly be.  Now though we see people going to dealers going to used car lots and all they care about is the gas mileage.  There all going there looking for Civics and Corrollas with the 21st century body styles.  And these are expensive too depending on the gas mileage.  Back in 01 if you wanted a new car you could go out and buy a base new VW Jetta for just about 15k now that idea is gone and people are having to pay like a good 12k-13k for just like an 07 corolla.  Its all dependent on the mileage though.  I mean though people are being looking at Corollas now that are really not even nice looking cars to me but wouldnt you rather get something like a Cadillac CTS,  Sure obviusly it would have more miles and you would be paying more on gas but guess what ive noticed as a trend on craigslist lately.  These cars like the CTS are going for the same prices as those corollas.  Now i dont know if something is wrong with those cars or something but still.  People need to start looking and weighing their options before they just jump to conclusions about these cars.  Think it through.  To me its CTS>Corolla. 

Happy Birthday Ford Mustang!

Today is the Ford Mustang's 48th birthday.  I honestly can say that i hate the mustang and that its a horrible in my view.  But throughout these 48 years you can notice change coming through.  Ford started the Mustang as a small call that they werent sure would completely work.  The mustang is a huge reason of Ford's success in the years.  I feel that Ford would not be were they are today if back 48 years ago today the decision of the Ford Mustang was made.  I may hate it but it still is a great car for people to look up to and thats how it went into the hearts of people all around the world.

Ferrari 458 Italia

Overall today there are many great cars that everyone would want.  There is the stunning new mclaren there is the bugatti veyron, hell there's even the Ariel atom v8.  All of these built to be fast and great.  But the one I think is the best and on my top 10 list is the ferrari 458 Italia.  I mean this car is stunningly beautiful and I am not just saying this because it is a ferrari.  In fact not all ferraris were all beautiful.  For example take the f60, which is more commonly known as the enzo.  It was only fast it wasn't beautiful.  I know it was only desighned like that to be aerodynamic but its as if they had all the parts for the car and then gave a 10 year old pen and paper to desighn it.  Back to the 458 though.  This car is beautiful.  It like  the  enzo was desighned to be aerodynamic.  Except with the 458 it wasn't desighned so much better.  It's scientifically smart too.  For example when you are going at high speed the air ducts all hunker down to get more air into the engine.  It also has direct fuel injection which recently hasnt been to common for ferraris lately.  The thing I don't like about the 458 is the steering wheel.  The problem is with the 458 and many other cars is that there are to many things on the steering wheel.  I mean it was fine when there was the traction control and some other stuff on it.  But let's say you are at a light about to turn left then you turn left and need to turn right immediatly.  You just woudnt know which indicator to use.  It's a confusing mess.  Luckily though you don't need to use indicators on the track, because this car is even better on the track than on the road. It's acceleration is just great and when you get to those high speeds it still feels great. This car is great. 

p.s. i am unsure still of why the post is coming up highlighted. 

Porsche 918 Spyder

Arite guys so many of you may know how much of a huge fan of Porsche fan I am and when I hear they are putting a new car out I go crazy.  This new car is beautiful.  This new car is fast.  This car will hopefully be coming out some time during 2012.  This car is the Porsche 918.  So far I have learned a good amount of information about it.  This car is both a normal car that runs on gasoline buy also it can run on purely electricity for up to 30 miles.  This car is a combination of the Porsche 917 and the Porsche carrera GT.  Most of the body style comes from the Porsche 917 while much of the interior comes from the carrera GT particularly the center console and the dash board.  This car though also is said to be very vast because of its immense speed.  It is said to be even faster around the nurberg ring than the Porsche carrera gt.  I just can't wait for this car to come out.  This to me is a beggining to a new Porsche.  Starting off with technology that is now going to affect the whole supercar world.  When the car is finally released I will definetly post about it with more info
