car - Bugatti Veyron

car AD's take on motoring, Article 4- Bugatti Veyron by AD
There comes now and again a car that has the balls to have no personality whatsoever. A car that earns respect by simply going fast. A car that is so bad that I would rather drown my youngest son and stab him repeatedly while I am drowning him than own one. I'm talking about the ugly, uncouth, unoriginal, cold, stifling and German (Oh great)- Bugatti Veyron. What's even worse is that they turned the grand name of Bugatti into a festering putrid bag of mouldering faeces. By they I mean Volkswagen. Typical for a German company to take a classic name like Bugatti and deform it into an indescribable mass of passionless vomit. So let us continue with what is my first but, judging by the state of this sick world we live in, certainly not the last negative review, this about the Bugatti Veyron. First off, let's look at the exterior. A German would say that the exterior is highly aerodynamic and technically perfect- the body of a true supercar. I would say to you that the exterior bears resemblance to a heat seeking missile- It does its job as effectively and efficiently as possible but is cold and unforgiving. Just look at this- it's the kind of thing Steven Hawkings would imagine. The retro styled grille just looks out of place, like the engineers just threw it on at the last minute. A shameless and perverted attempt to somehow try to win back the classic car enthusiasts' favour. Hah! So now we come to the numbers. The average soulless, penisless and sadistic German would go into epileptic fits of joy at this point and relay enthusiastically the Veyron's incredible top speed and its mind numbing engine displacement figures. I simply glance disgustedly at the figures and spit on them. I do owe it to my readers to show these figures, however, so here goes. The top speed is 253 miles per hour (like anyone gives a s##t), nought to sixty takes 2.5 seconds and 0-100 takes 5.2 seconds. It can do a standing quarter mile in 10 seconds and has 1001 brake horsepower. Happy? Cause I'm sure not! Those inbreeding Jew -burning Hitler- idoling idiots that are the German race have destroyed Bugatti! I mean, look at what those French geniuses used to come up with- the exquisite Bugatti Royale. This masterpiece was twenty one feet of style, flair and soul. Only six were ever made- mostly due to the fact that the world was in depression. But this was the ultimate in status symbols- If you owned one you were known as the unparalleled success story of your generation. The Veyron makes you look like the unparalleled prick of your generation- the sort of person who bores people to tears with your lap times and has an overhead projected timer bolted on your windscreen. Germans live in a strange world of car production- that every part if a car must have a purpose. They frown upon emphasis on aesthetics or character. They pride themselves on their wastelessness, full efficiency and little compromise. Their idea of a dream car is something like the Veyron- a soulless robot, neutral and unbiased, that is simply a bucket load of science and maths. They are so wrong. When will those spawns of Lucifer learn that a good car is not something you make with your head- it's something that you make with your heart. Never forget your heritage, Bugatti- The Royale was known as the best car ever made! Don't listen to those crap eating Germans. Be bold. Be brilliant. Be inspired. Be Bugatti.

The Tesla Model S, the Spark in Electric Cars

cars car in dream ca

The Tesla Model S, the Spark in Electric Cars by Dave Foord





Why is it that most electric cars look like they've been designed by five year olds? The Gee Wiz, the Nice MyCar, the Sakura Maranello 4, all cars that would, without the benefit of CGI, fit quite comfortably into the next Pixar Cars Movie. Why? When electric car designers roll up their sleeves and sit in front of a drawing board, do they suddenly regress to an age where trees look like lollipops and sheep bear a striking resemblance to the clouds above them. Funky, innovative, ground breaking designs that are hardly ever practical. That was until the launch of the Tesla Model S.
Now many people will point to the Tesla Roadster. That doesn't look like it's been designed by a child. And no it was wasn't, it was designed with help from Lotus. A beautiful looking car without a doubt, but hardly practical. In fact rumours abound over the internet that Governor Schwarzenegger - one time android and full time green warrior - would like to return his roadster as he has difficulty fitting in it.
So why is the Model S any different? Put simply, it looks fantastic and it is extremely practical. Designed by former Mazda man Franz Von Holzhausen, the Model S would look just as at home on the streets of London as it would in the Hollywood Hills. Drawing inspiration no doubt from the likes of Jaguar and BMW, The Model S has distinctly European looks and will appeal to a worldwide market, which is more than can be said for many other "normal" American cars.
With a price tag of just under $50,000 after a $7,500 tax rebate the Model S may look slightly expensive, but if this price is achievable it will only be $4,000 more than a BMW 5 Series 528i, certainly not a price that could prove prohibitive. So what do you get for your hard earned cash? The base model will come equipped with a battery pack with a 160 mile range, add more cells and a range of 230 miles can be achieved, move up to the high capacity battery pack and the Tesla Model S will offer a range up to 300 miles. Tesla have also announced plans to allow owners of base models the ability to rent higher capacity battery packs when they need to make longer journeys, although it is not yet that clear how long it will take to change batteries. Charging time could be as little as 45 minutes on a fast charge, although a full charge is more likely to be in the region of four hours, making overnight charging the best option.
With regard to performance the Model S will certainly be no slouch, nought to sixty times are expected to be under six seconds with a top speed electronically limited to 130 mph. A sport model slated to be released in the second year of production is expected to trim another second off the 0 - 60 time.
It's not just technology that produces power for the car, a video screen in the centre console that is effectively a small computer with 3G internet access - a computer that Tesla can access with your permission to diagnose any problems - controls the cars systems including sat nav , audio, air con plus many other features and it's a touch screen too.
With seating for up to seven, the tessla Model S shows what can be achieved when the right people get together, hopefully Tesla will get adequate funding from the American government to push this technology through, before they spend it all on Chevy Volt - a car that certainly won't se
ll worldwide.

If you own a vehicle, you know how expensive they are to maintain. On top of car loans that need to be paid on a monthly basis, you also have gasoline costs, repair, maintenance, and insurance premiums. Many of these expenses are out of our control to regulate, except for our car insurance rates. There are many ways you can compare car insurance in today's market. Contacting a local insurance agent to have them provide you a car insurance quote that contains an adequate and recommended coverage, as well as acceptable deductibles, is just one way to compare car insurance premiums. One of the most popular ways to compare car insurance rates is through the internet. Most major insurance companies provide comprehensive websites where you can choose your desired coverage, enter in personal driving information, and ultimately receive a free car insurance quote from the comfort of your own living room. Most insurance websites will require correct and current information about your driving record, age, marital status, location, and the make and model of your vehicle. The more accurate the information you provide, the more precise your car insurance quote will be. One of the most important things to keep in mind when you compare car insurance is to compare all desired coverages, apples to apples. If you are requesting a different coverage and deductible from different companies, you will never truly receive an exact comparison of policies and price.

Car Auctions: The Vehicle Pioneers (Willam Lyons)

Car Auctions: The Vehicle Pioneers (Willam Lyons) by Marian Aldana

In times of serious economic pressure, people have to cut back on expenses and find ways to save cash. People need to be selective with their purchasing, making sure that they get the most value out of their money. Alternative resources need to be examined. In buying cars, auto auctions are an alternative venue that should be looked into. An auto auction generally offers used vehicles. In the USA, the general public does not generally participate in auto auctions, since most are closed events, where only dealers can join. However, an auto auction provides a major venue as a wholesale market for second-hand vehicles. As for auctions that are open to the public, most are usually used as a means for financial services firms to dispose of surplus off-lease returns, as well as for rental and other companies to sell off old models, and for car dealerships to dispose of trade-ins and other unnecessary items. As with pretty much any other business transaction, a prospective buyer should do some research before closing a deal. He should gather information on the car he is interested in buying. Whenever possible he should compare prices of similar models with similar features. He might even be able to negotiate and reduce the price of the vehicle he wants to buy at a car auction. The development of cars is a long and detailed process, involving various contributions from many inventors. Sir William Lyons, sometimes referred to as "Mr. Jaguar" was, with fellow motorcycle enthusiast William Walmsley, the co-founder of the Swallow Sidecar Company, later known as Jaguar Cars. Their business prospered during the 1920's and they went on to manufacture coaches as well. Togethery they designed and eventually built a stylish little two-seater automobile. Most vehicles at the time were plain black cars, and thus the two-toned Swallow caught the public's attention. It soon became very popular, that in 1928 Lyons and Walmsley decided to relocate their operations to the Midlands area of England. They moved to the Foleshill Factory in Coventry, which was regarded as a reliable source of labour supply and other industrial resources. Since car auctions sell mostly previously owned cars, interested parties need to gather information first in order to make the best possible purchase. A potential buyer needs to know the details of the car's make, model, physical condition, and many other things, in order to decide which car would best fit his needs. Fortunately, such information on car auctions is available online. Alameda County Auction is a car auction open to the public, where private individuals can personally go to and view an array of vehicles that come from bank lease ends, fleet returns, county used vehicles, government agency vehicles, and more.

2010 X1 Luxury Compact Crossover SUV Expands the BMW Sports Activity Family

2010 X1 Luxury Compact Crossover SUV Expands the BMW Sports Activity Family by B. Aboul-Nasr

You already know the BMW X family of SUV models. Yet, if you thought that the Bavarian brand was going to watch compact SUVs mushroom from under its X3, you'll have to reconsider.
This time, the BMW X1 is ready to join the growing segment of premium compact crossovers with power, elegance and avant-guard technology in safety, convenience and last but not least, fuel economy measures.
From this autumn, the family of BMW X models will welcome its newest member, the X1 compact crossover SUV, fitting neatly under the larger X3, X5 and X6 brothers. For the United States, the X1 is expected to arrive in calendar year 2011.
Targeted to a younger audience, the new BMW X1 compact proportions should give it the agility and versatility of compact cars (C-segment, lower medium) with the technical substance of a modern premium vehicle made by the largest luxury cars manufacturer in the world.
The X1 body is 4.45 metres (175.2") long, which is significantly longer than the other 1 Series models (4.24 metre / 166.9'' for the 3- and 5- door bodies, or 4.36 metre / 171.7'' in the 1 Series coupe and convertible). Quite logically, it remains shorter than the 4.57 metres 1.79.9'' of the larger X3 brother.
In wheelbase terms, the X1 enjoys a rather long dimension for the compact segment (2.76 metres /108.7''). It is equal to the 3 Series wheelbase (the X1 is a variation of the 3 Series platform), significantly longer than the wheelbase of the 1 Series models (2.66 metres / 104.7'') and slightly shorter than the 2.79 metres /110'' wheelbase of the X3 (More about the main exterior and interior dimensions of the new BMW X1).
On the practical side, the rear seat comes with an adjustable backrest (for angle) and folds down in a 40/20/20 split, extending the luggage compartment capacity from its original 420 litres to a maximum of 1,350 litres. Above the 5 passengers, an electrically operated Panorama glass roof is available as an option.
Depending on the model variant, the X1 proposes gasoline and diesel engines, rear-wheel drive (sDrive versions) or all-wheel-drive technology (xDrive), as well as a range of BMW EfficientDynamics features including Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start Stop, and a gearshift point indicator.
Standard features include three-point inertia-reel seat belts all round, frontal and side airbags as well as head airbags at the side, adaptive Brake Lights and daytime driving lights. Options include Xenon headlights, Adaptive Headlights and a High-Beam Assistant.
X1 active safety equipments include high-precision power steering (rack-and-pinion), high-performance brakes, Dynamic Stability Control including Dynamic Traction Control and, as an option, Performance Control acting on the brakes.
In conjunction with the optional Business and Professional navigation systems, the X1 is equipped with the latest generation of BMW iDrive including a Controller and direct selection buttons on the centre console, a Control Display integrated in the instrument panel, and favourite buttons beneath the control panel for the standard air conditioning.
Sophisticated HiFi systems are available as an alternative to the audio system fitted as standard, and the AUX-In port likewise featured as standard may be supplemented by a USB interface.
