Electric Hummer HX
Hummer is back, NOT! My Electric Vehicle has introduced the GM licensed Hummer HX and HX-T mini electric vehicles. Check out the below promo video. Want one? Contact MEV for pricing and availability. Image cruising around the golf course in a baby Hummer, nice.
New York Auto Show
The New York Auto Show kicks off today and runs through Sunday, May 1st. I have not kept up with the auto show news, so I have no clue who is debuting what. Whatever. Check out the Scion FR-S concept. I may post an update or two, but do not count on it.
Volt Sales
How is the 2011 Motor Trend "Car Of The Year" doing in sales? According to published sales figures, General Motors sold 321 units in January and 281 units in February. Anyone want to bet the Volt will not make it past the 18-month "pilot" phase?
Want to laugh? Apparently, there are over 50,000 people waiting for a Chevrolet Volt. Good luck with that one. I am calling the numbers bullshit. The waiting list data published on the Internet means zero. Post real data and we may believe it.
Raging Bull
Lamborghini reveals its new bull at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. On Thursday, Lamborghini introduced the 2012 Aventador LP700-4. Leave it to Lamborghini to design and build bad ass exotic automobiles. Check out the official site for more information.
Tortoise and Hare
Here is another driving-related post. Have you ever stopped to think about the 'profiles' of the drivers around you? Nope? I guess that I am the only loser who thinks about this stupid stuff. Anyway, I have come up with two categories. Check them out below.
Hare - the habitual speeder who cannot get to his destination fast enough. I think that says it all. These are the fuckers that speed in the rain, in traffic, in residential areas, etc. The only thing that will stop them is a tree.
Tortoise - the habitual slow poke who leaves a snail trail everywhere they drive. These are the fuckers that drive under the speed limit at all times. I hate these fuckers just as much as the speeders. I will post more profiles soon.
Raquel Racer
"Ricky Racer" is defined by Urban Dictionary as an expression usually used by old folks, for one who has to drive fast, everywhere. I think "Ricky Racer" should refer to men who drive fast, everywhere. Naturally, "Raquel Racer" would refer to the reckless female driver.
Wait, there is more. What is the profile of a "Raquel Racer"? I will give you two profiles, but need to conduct an unofficial study and report back. Ready? 1) The "soccer mom" driving a big ass SUV. 2) The "tight ass" driving a BMW or Mercedes. Thoughts?
Prius Tuner
This evening, I saw a sexy looking sedan. I did not recognize the make and model at first, so I had to get a closer look. Toyota emblem. What the hell? Did I miss the announcement of a Toyota sport sedan? Nope. The sexy sedan was a Prius (similar to below). Nice!
No Fat Chicks!
I was checking out Yahoo Autos when I stumbled on the below comment. I think the owner needs a "No Fat Chicks" bumper sticker for his ride. Also, why is the owner surprised that the Lamborghini attracts only gold diggers? The gold digger magnet is standard. Duh!
Ferrari FF
The Ferrari FF (Ferrari Four) teaser videos are popping up on YouTube and other portals. I have seen the spy videos and not sure I like the new model. What do you think of Ferrari's 1st four-wheel-drive model? Fugly?
The new FF seats four and will replace the 612 Scaglietti model. The FF is powered by a 6.3 liter V12 with 651 hp and 504 lb-ft torque. The top speed is rated at 208 mph and 0-60 mph in under 4 seconds. Nice.
