Cars Deadlier Than Guns For Cops

fast car police car accident Fast cars are fun, but sometimes deadly for law enforcement.

So should we ban cars? SUV’s? Maybe just ban “assault automobiles” since there is no legitimate need for souped-up engines, rear spoilers, wide tires, or any other characteristic of scary looking sports cars.

Junk Science

fast car mid life sports car On politics, natural selection, mid-life crises, and fast sports cars.

Truth Eight: The mid-life crisis is a myth--sort of. The authors state that a man goes through a mid-life crisis only when his wife does, running out to buy a red sports car or whatever because he is trying to attract younger women to further his reproductive destiny.

fast car red hood Click through for a great gallery of fast car photos from the Dalton car show.

After the BMW show I headed back up to San Marcos, since I had the day off, to check out the monthly show at Dalton’s Roadhouse Grill. When I arrived the parking lot was already full, summer has officially started and I can not wait because this show gets better every month as summer progresses. A huge collection of hot rods, muscle cars, woodies, led sleds, and sports cars.

Is It A Bike? Is It A Car?

fast car carver one A look at vehicles that might be fast cars.

Carver One What is it? Car-meets-bike- meets-fighter jet Price 27,500, carver-worldwide.com Engine 659cc turbo, 68bhp Top speed 115mph Seats 2 They might both have three wheels, but the radical new Carver has more in common with the Eurofighter than Del Boy’s yellow Reliant Robin. Like a fighter jet it banks into turns, the rear section staying level but the body and front wheel leaning into the bend. And just like a jet, it’s expensive; the 27,500 youll need to buy one would also fetch you a very nice sports car from BMW or Audi, or several superbikes.

Baby You Can Drive My Car

fast cars 1968 camaro convertible Nice taste in classic sports cars.

Nevertheless, I do like cars. I like old cars and fast cars. I love muscle cars. Big luxury cars don’t really catch my eye but show me a 68 Camaro, 69 Charger or a 72 Nova and I’m all over it. I keep hoping one of my sons shows an interest in auto body and car mechanics so I can get one of these classics and have someone to work on it for me.

Now back to my car design addicted fase, the Saab Aero X, is like dreaming of making a Jetsons (the cartoon) type car but for now, instead of the future, all the coolness minus the flying.But with the name Aero you never know, and Saab being born from jets its not exactly out of the question, or is it. No matter if it can fly or not the Saab Aero X is now on my top to get this for sports cars, its a car like this that will cause any person who can see to stop in their tracks, shit it may cause the blind to see.

Acer Ferrari 1004WTMi

fast car acer ferrari laptop Fast car drivers on a budget may be able to afford this Ferrari.

Since we reviewed the Ferrari 4000 last year, Acer has released a fleet of Ferrari-themed laptops in all sizes. The ultraportable of the bunch, the Ferrari 1000, has a compact chassis worthy of the sports car maker’s logo, and its speedy performance on our benchmarks would likewise make the Italian engineers proud. Unfortunately, its battery life came up short of what we’d expect from a machine that’s designed for maximum mobility. If you’re looking for a wide-screen ultraportable with stamina, check out the Fujitsu LifeBook Q2010 or the Dell Latitude D420. But if battery life can take a backseat to performance, the Acer Ferrari 1000 is a stylish speed racer.

Sports Cars In Vermont

fast car sports car vermont A little fast car in Vermont wrecks a marriage ... temporarily.

For her part, Marianne Donahue spent this morning fighting vicious rumors that she had become visibly anorexic since the Herald piece catapulted her into the limelight. And when it rains it pours: she and her husband Andrew began to feud over her lavish new tastes in sports cars and fitness trainers, and they separated, divorced, remarried, and are now — at a little before lunch time — again deliriously happy.

Small Fast Cars

fast cars small Fast cars? You be the judge.

I really don’t know if these cars are for real they’re so tiny. Fun to look at and I’m sure they’re even more fun to drive except for the fact that I would probably choke on the steering wheel. Other than that it would be a good time zipping around in one of these tiny cars. What do you think…real or not?

Fighting Traffic Tickets

fast cars speeding ticket Speeding tickets are the anathema of fast car drivers.

I’m not going to beat around the bush here: I like sports cars and I like pushing them to the limit! As you might expect, I’ve had more than my share of run-ins with the police. But even though I’ve been pulled over for speeding more times than I care to admit, I can’t seem to let up on the gas pedal. After all, it’s no fun having 300 horses under the hood if I’m not going to use them! So I decided that it might be a wise investment to learn how to fight traffic tickets.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

fast cars porsche 911 gt3 rs The 911 GT3 RS, another great fast car from Porsche.
Based on the all-new 997-based GT3, the RS shares its sibling's power numbers (its 3.6 liter six-cylinder produces the same 415 normally-aspirated horsepower), but ups the ante by shaving 20kg off its overall weight and leveraging an RS-exclusive six-speed transmission featuring closer gear ratios and a different flywheel.

Ford sent a fairly emphatic message to GM and Chrysler on Monday as it announced that the 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 officially produces 500 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers put the new Shelby on the same playing field as the Corvette Z06 and Dodge Viper, and set the stage for the inevitable King of the Hill comparison tests from all the big magazines later this summer.

What A Concept!

fast cars chevrolet camaro concept car Alex Nunez sends another great report from the New York Auto show, this time with snaps (and a video!) of the new Chevrolet Camaro fast car.
Even though it's only a concept vehicle (for now), Camaro makes all the right noises. The idle was a guttural rumble that made me want to hear what it sounded like under real acceleration. One guy next to me wondered aloud how much money it'd take to have the driver "light 'em up."

Sportsman Drag Racing

fast car gainesville raceway If you've ever wanted to take your own fast car for spin, check out the Sportsman drag events.
It’s 1,320 feet long, straight, with 2 tracks. Just your car, side-by-side with another one, ripping down the drag strip. A brief shot at glory before returning to your day job. That’s what makes the Sportsman (non-professional) drag events so much fun; regular people on the world-class proving grounds of Gainesville Raceway, trying to see what their car can do. During the Gatornationals, a pair of them is launched down the strip about every 40 seconds, all day long.

Ex-con Erikssen's Enzo

fast car enzo accident The L.A. Times has been following this strange tale of former Gizmondo exec Stefan Erikssen and his severed Enzo fast car.

If you be a-wondering whatever happened to that California Swedish ex-convict, Stefan Erikssen, the last I read is that he was cruising around Mexico on the missing yacht and that no one, including the police, was particularly concerned with his whereabouts, saying that his normal habitat ranges from Sweden to the UK to California, according to Pepperdine University’s “Graphic”. Erikssen is the fabulously rich playboy whose red Enzo sports car spectacularly split in two on the Coastal Highway near Malibu. The driver and suspected Ferrari Enzo murderer, mysteriously ran off into the Malibu hills, leaving Erikssen, the owner of the car who just so happened to be a “passenger”, virtually uninjured.

A little over a month ago, neuroscientist Stephen Rose did a radio interview with the BBC (listen) in which he mentioned that BMW had set up a neuromarketing lab.

You Kiss Your Mother With That Mouth?

fast car fear factor This sounds like a pretty stupid fast car stunt, even for Fear Factor.

The first team did the last stunt and they did really well. The moms had to drive a little sports car (sons were in the passenger seat) under a semi and get their car locked in under the semi. Then they both climb out of the car and up into the semi, grab a set of flags each, climb out of the semi and hang all of their flags along the side of the semi. Still with me? It looked like quite a crazy stunt and having been in several accidents I don't think you could have gotten me to do it so it's a good thing I wasn't participating. But the first team did it no problem so it looked a lot easier than I had expected. They did the whole stunt in 2minutes 20seconds.

Vanquished

fast cars aston martin vanquish v12 Why the Aston Martin fast cars are a cut above:

It's the noise they make, too. They sound like there's two rhinos under the bonnet having their bollocks mashed up by a mallet. None of this high-pitched 'Waa-Waa' crap you get with sports cars, but a deep, rumbling noise that just makes your guts shake. You can tell there's one coming because all the buildings around you fall down like a Japanese suburb. Oh, man, they're just fucking beautiful.

We Have Become A Nation Of Pussies

fast cars working on the car We've also become a nation of fast cars that are hard to fix at home.

And it doesn't take much to see when all the things I love are being threatened: for instance, when Tim Allen's excellent comedy routine on being a man was reduced to a that stupid sitcom Home Improvement. The show should have been called Man Improvement, because that's what every single plotline entailed: turning a man into a "better" person, instead of just leaving him alone to work on restoring the vintage sports car in his garage. I stopped watching the show after about four episodes.

Aston Martin Offer Hands Free Bluetooth

fast car aston martin vanquish For all you Aston Martin fast car drivers, you may now keep your hands on the wheel.

Motorola announced today that its IHF1000 Bluetooth car kit is currently available in Aston Martin’s, Vanquish S and DB9 sports cars. Motorola’s leading in-vehicle technology, provides Aston Martin owners with a seamless communications experience that keeps them connected to their office, home, friends and family through innovative Bluetooth technology. The Motorola IHF1000 mutes the vehicle’s stereo system on receipt of an incoming call or the start of an outgoing call, so drivers can conduct hands-free and wire-free mobile phone calls. Unlike standard speaker-dependent voice recognition systems that rely on exact pronunciation of a recorded name, the IHF1000 accurately recognises voice commands, regardless of accent or articulation. A highly advanced noise reduction system ensures background noise has no affect on voice commands. This allows the driver to connect seamlessly the first time, while on the move in some of the world’s most desirable sports cars. Incoming calls, SMS messages and battery monitoring are also announced to the driver through the car’s sound system and speakers.

Use As Intended

fast car mercedes convertible Put that fast car in gear!
Old men who fork out the cash for fancy ass "fast" cars and drive them like their a corolla. What the fuck? Your old and close to dying anyways. Live a little. Use the car as it was intended for. When my pansy ass Toyota mini van is sailing past you at Mach 3, and you and your fancy ass little black convertible Mercedes (I only know this cause I recognized the symbol) is puttering along a highway that is clearly marked for the Speed 80 NOT 60, you need to rethink your vehicle purchase.

Lotus Sport Exige 240R

fast cars lots sports exige 240r Automobile Blog is running a lot of informative reviews of fast cars like the Lotus 240R.

Let’s face it: while the Exige is a sports car enthusiasts’ dream, it is not above criticism. For example, the 1.8-litre Toyota engine has to be worked very hard to enjoy the best of its performance. And despite those track car looks, the Lotus’ chassis lacks the adjustability which circuit drivers crave.

MR2 Turbine

fast cars mr2 red convertible Get a fast car or get a practical car?

It’s about time I get a more practical car: non-neon colored, no body kit, no exhaust where you can hear the car idling alone from three blocks away… So many choices: luxury sports car, or pure sports car. Coupe or convertible. Rear wheel drive or all wheel drive. Fast and cheap, or fast and more than downpayment on a home in the Bay. Black/silver or red/yellow/big flashing lights that say “pull me over.”

Renault Ends Clio V6

fast cars renault clio v6 Too bad, the Renault Clio looks like a fun little fast car!

In the space occupied by the regular Clio’s back seats sits a 3.0-litre V6 developing 255bhp. It’s enough for a top speed of 153mph and 0-60mph in 5.8sec - figures more usually associated with serious sports cars such as the Porsche Boxster. Renault has said only 20 Clio V6 models remain unsold at UK dealers, costing £27,100 each.

Dark Knight Rising

fast cars batmobile Yeah, who wants a fast car when you can have a Batmobile?

For starters, it had a story. I know that sounds like a revolutionary concept for a movie, especially in the middle of the summer blow-up-everything-and-make-it-loud mega-super-blockbuster event time that we find ourselves, but this film actually has a compelling story about a man learning the difference between vengeance and justice. It also resolved one of my first questions about Batman’s mythos: How the heck can Bruce Wayne have all of this high tech equipment show up at his place and have no one at his company ever question it? The suit is quite cool (no nipples) and the car was perfect; seriously, how can you knock over concrete barricades if you’re driving a sports car?

Simple Philosophy

fast cars sports car bmw 645 I like simple philosophy, especially for fast cars.

i’ve got a simple philosophy on cars. drive a humble little japanese one til you can afford to upgrade to either a) a nice continental saloon, like a 5 series or b) wait a little longer til you can afford a decent sports car. or if you want a bigger car, how bout a sports saloon? say.. the BM 645 or the CLS 500.

Monaco Parking Lot

fast cars sports cars monaco casino When you visit the casino in Monaco, it seems like you'd see a lot of great fast cars.

I was expecting a few more high end sports cars to be in the lot, but I guess that it was a quiet day with only 1 Ferrari (it did have a clear glass engine cover) and about 6 Porsche's of various recent models.
