It has been a long week up late Monday Tuesday working on the car getting it running well, then 11-12 hour work days Wed-Fri so boy am I glad it the weekend.
Like most people, buying an automobile is an exciting adventure! Unfortunately, like most of us, buying a vehicle can be a daunting task. Throughout our experience, our choices have always been limited because of our income. But let’s assume money is not an issue at all. There are so many beautiful dream vehicles on the market to explore, but we have come into agreement to stay faithful to our top three dream automobiles…
#1: 2010 Range Rover HSE

It still is, and will forever be our dream to settle with one of these automobiles! If we had to choose between a BMW and a Range Rover, we would be Rover-ing the Range… But we would be more then content and highly satisfied with a 2007 330cic White or Black BMW…

#3: 2010 Honda Accord Coupe LX-S

We make the Honda Accord Coupe LX-S our # 3 pick of vehicles we would like to get into! Now keep in mind… If we had the opportunity to get into a Range Rover HSE or a 328i BMW Convertible, we’re rolling with those choices.

Who wouldn’t love themselves a BMW? I’ve always had a dream of aquiring a E46 M3. Was close to buying one a few years back, now regretting now taking the plunge. Awesome looking car stock and modified. This one is no exception, has an awesome stance. Modded very tastefully, simple and clean!
I’m moving out of my cousin’s basement this weekend and will now be contributing to society like a normal human being. It’s exciting. I found a place in Humboldt Park right near Hipsterville…I mean Wicker Park. It’s by no means a lavish environment but it does provide me a place to lay my head at night. It’s a cozy little dumpster in the back alley of…NO. I’m just kidding. It’s an actual real apartment that I will be sharing with two other guys. They seem normal enough and it’s just a few feet from the bus stop that I will be taking to work so I won’t have to burn any unnecessary calories. It’s certainly a win win. In fact it’s a whole lot of win. You know what I’m talking about. If you don’t, here’s a visual:
On a completely unrelated note, Emily (my lovely partner in crime) and I attended the Chicago Auto Show. It was not as impressive as we had both hoped but I did get to see some a nice a automobiles. (You really need a good Italian accent for that one. Think Mario and Luigi.) Porsches, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Lotuses, and a Toyota Corolla. Seriously though, for all you car nerds out there…it was a good turnout. Here’s a list:
Nissan GTR
Audi R8
BMW M3 (which I got to sit in and almost wet myself)
Maserati Granturismo
Lotus Exige and Evora
Mercedes SLS AMG (the gullwing)
Acura ARX-02a prototype
Fisker Karma electric concept
Lamborghini Murcielago and Gallardo
The list just goes on. Actually, it doesn’t and that’s why I was disappointed. There weren’t very many concept cars and many of the companies weren’t even showing their top-of-the-line vehicles. Audi didn’t have the RS4 or RS6. They didn’t even have an A8 for that matter. There was no M5 or M6 from BMW and Porsche only had three models, one of which being the appalling Panamera. It looked like a retired football player. Gross. Long story short, it was disappointing but I guess for 6 bucks I shouldn’t be complaining. I would’ve paid that much just to sit in some guy’s BMW out in the parking lot. Also, I got to skip church, so double bonus. Just kidding…but seriously.
Be prepared because my next post may very well come from my new abode. Get pumped. I know I am.

Η Οικολογία και η οικολογική δραστηριότητα αποτελούν κυρίαρχο θέμα παγκοσμίως ( π.χ Συνέδριο Κοπεγχάγης). Εμείς με τη σειρά μας σας παρουσιάζουμε μια καινοτόμο κίνηση της αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας BMW με το μοντέλο Hydrogen 7 το οποίο κινείται με υδρογόνο και “ρυπαίνει” την ατμόσφαιρα με νερό.
Σας παρουσιάζουμε τα οφέλη αυτής της καινούργιας τεχνολογίας αλλά και κάποιες από τις αδυναμίες που εντοπίζονται στο πρώιμο ακόμη στάδιο εγκαταστάσεων…..
This might be old news for those of you who follow the show scene (we confess, we don’t particularly), but a car we’ve had on here before (on multiple occasions at that) appears to have bitten the dust. Love it or loathe it, it was an instant forum/show scene classic, and it got wilder and hairier with each passing iteration, culminating in the craziness you see immediately below. What a shame.

Not only is the car nice. I chose to share this because I like the location. A few of our blog contributors are located in Downtown LA and whenever I go to visit, I always want to stop and just take some pictures here. Unfortunately, we’re usually on our way somewhere else, like a party or a shoot. So I have yet to do so. Anyway, take a gander.
JANUARY U.S. AUTO SALES Toyota sales fall 16% in Jan.; Ford, GM, Nissan rise
Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc., hobbled by suspended sales on eight recalled models, suffered a 16 percent drop in January demand while most competitors rose from depressed levels of a year ago.
U.S. sales at Toyota Division, which markets each of the recalled models, fell 19 percent. The Lexus luxury division, which wasn’t targeted in the Jan. 21 recall, gained 5 percent.
Sales at Ford Motor Co. jumped 25 percent — the company’s fourth straight monthly increase. General Motors Co. was up 14 percent, while Chrysler Group, the other survivor of a 2009 bankruptcy, fell 11 percent. In unit sales, Chrysler fell behind Nissan North America, which advanced 16 percent. American Honda slipped 5 percent.
Subaru, the only brand with U.S. sales gains in each of the past two years, began 2010 with a 28 percent sales jump.
Shinichi Sasaki, Toyota’s vice president in charge of quality, said today in Japan that the automaker’s sales probably will take a hit. On Jan. 26, Toyota halted U.S. sales of eight models following a recall of 2.3 million vehicles tied to faulty accelerator pedals.
