The Shelby Cobra is a legendary automobile designed and built by Carroll Shelby and it first saw the light of day back in 1962. I didn’t know this, but the first Cobras were built in England and eventually brought to California to be fitted with their engines and transmissions by Carroll Shelby’s shop. Only 1,000 of these original legendary cars were built between the years 1962 to 1968 and there are nearly 40,000 replicas on the road today proving how popular this car was. Prices for these replicas range from $60,000 up to $150,000. Original Shelby Cobras can go for over $1 million and Carroll Shelby’s personal car sold for $5.5 million back in January of 2007.

I Hate The Toyota Prius And Global Warming Is A Bunch Of Crap

February 19th, 2007

Every time I see a Toyota Prius I want to vomit. The Prius screams dork more than white tape wrapped glasses and a pocket protector ever did. If Toyota ever wanted to design a hideous car, they truly succeeded in the Prius.

Growing up in and being interested in cars in the late 60′s and early 70′s could have been one of the best times to be alive for an American car enthusiast. The muscle car era was in full swing with trophy beauties like the 1969 Camaro, 1970 Cuda and the 1970 Chevelle. The days of cheap gas, real cars from Detroit and rock music made life as a teen quite enjoyable.

We were then hit with the dark days of the mid 70′s and the first inklings of environmentalist nonsense. The rubber hose was introduced by Detroit as a pollution control system and it seemed as if the clean engine compartment of a small block Chevy went from large enough to almost live in to a Medusa under the hood. It was like a mystery house under your hood with hoses seemingly going nowhere.

Fast forward to today and you have the evolution of the rubber hose in the Toyota Prius. Let’s keep the polar ice caps from melting with a geek car and let’s make it look so much like a geek car that nobody but geeks will buy it. Put some decent rims on the thing, give it some flared fender wells, please, make it look like something other than a college experiment from the engineering school.

Our leaders tell us we need cars like this because us humans are such a threat to the planet. So to prove that global warming is such a threat, Mr Global Warming himself, Al Gore, shows up at Berkley last October in a Toyota Prius. The problem with that show was that Gore’s motorcade included two limos, three motorcycles and a Dodge truck. I assume they needed the truck to carry all of hypocrisy.

So my theory holds:

Toyota Prius = Dork
Dork = Al Gore

Even if every car in the United States were replaced by the Prius, Al Gore would still be a dork, the polar ice caps would still be melting because of the natural cycles of the planet and sun and Toyota would be even richer. Oh yea, and Al Gore would still be a dork. I think that’s worth saying again.

I think I’m going to buy a Corvette so the next time I see one of these little dorkmobiles on the road I can race around it to get home quickly, get in my Hummer and play monster truck rally with the Prius coming the other way. I really do hate the Toyota Prius!

Wrecking Your $300,000 Lamborghini Murcielago

February 7th, 2007

Talk about having a bad day. Checkout this video below of these two guys wrecking a $300,000 Lamborghini Murcielago LP640. It looks like the air bag went off when they hit this light pole. It’s not a serious crash, just a little more than fender bender. It sure smashes the front of this nice Lamborghini real nice. If you had the good fortune to be able to afford a car like this, you think you might be a little more cautious when you decide to stomp on the gas, like maybe you’d look for a more open road. Duhh! Oh, it gets even worse, it’s a rental.

BMW Hydrogen 7 Concept – A Long Time Before It’s Really Green

December 29th, 2006

The promise of the efficient green automobile that will gain wide acceptance is as far off as ever. Not to be put off by that, BMW has introduced the Hydrogen 7 Concept car that is powered by a combo hydrogen or gasoline engine. The 7 series BMW with its duel fuel engine propels itself from 0 to 62 in snails pace (for a BMW) 9.5 seconds.

Not only is the technology to keep the liquid hydrogen at the required 420 degrees below zero expensive, the process to make the liquid fuel is not fuel efficient in itself. It takes as much electricity that creates as much carbon dioxide as would burning a half gallon of gas to make 1 pound of hydrogen fuel, far from practical at this point.

To make things more practical the vehicle will be leased to government agencies starting in 2007, at an astronomical price I suspect. Another efficient use of our tax dollars.
