The Veritas RS III

(it gets better)

The Veritas RS III - 02

The Veritas RS III resurrects the magic of Germany’s first Formula I racing car. Its design is a modern homage to its ancestor and has been combined with a state-of-the-art and powerful technology to create a unique masterpiece. The feeling of driving it is far beyond all previous experience.
Some impressive 373 kW / 507 HP produce a top speed of 347 km/h and pay tribute to the moving history of Veritas.
Every single Veritas RS III is handmade on-site at the Nürburgring. Limited to only 30 pieces, the super sports car becomes a very personal delight for its owner.
Be fascinated by the emotion that tells more about the Veritas RS III than every technical feature: true race feeling.

This is one aggressive looking vehicle. It is for sure not for everyone, but it is not for everyone. It is smooth and mean and expensive. For more visit the site.

woah… Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept

Bugatti 16C Galibier Concept

(just freakin wow)

And the idea of having a 4 door luxury car that goes 150+ miles an hour and do 0-60 in under 5seconds continues. For the simple price of 1Million plus, you can have this too. Since this is now becoming a trend, it makes me wonder if Cadillac is ready to release that Cadillac Sixteen that won rave revues and everyone was talking about. Shouldn’t they get together and try to bring Cadillac to the uber luxury level like they seem to want it to be?

The 4 door car fight continues…

An interesting iPhone App for car drivers is… interesting…

Blacked Out Bentley

Blackout Bentley

(not exactly a grown up look, but its still hot)

its another winner that came out of SEMA 2009. Ever heard of Satin Paint?  Well you got it here (I actually at first thought it was a matte finish). The body kit pushes the taste barrier though but I am sure many of the adults in the room was thinking what they could do with that Bentley. More pics on Autoblog.com

 

 

 

Auto: Bewerp Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS

Bewerp Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS

(one hot ride… and those escalators are cool too)

Bewerp Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS (2)

Check the details:

Unveiled at the Top Marques show in Monaco, the company claims the Roadyacht is the only four-door, topless supercar in the world, and as far as we can tell, they’re right. Based on the C6 Corvette, Bewerp’s superconvertible is packing a supercharged LS7 V8 putting out 670 hp at 6,200 rpm and 538 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm. Although Savage doesn’t divulge what materials were used in the build, the performance specs – 0-60 mph in 3.4 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph – suggests a prodigious diet of aluminum and carbon fiber. Autoblog.com

The fact that its sub 400K means that its not as “expensive” compared to other super sports cars and its unique look (of which will not be for everybody) will sure to get you noticed.

Not sure why is called a road yacht thought. Is it because it can seat 4 people?

The Supply Side Revolution from the Kudlow Report

Posted in Political, Uncategorized with tags , , on October 23, 2009 by begrownbesexy

Ok everyone, I think this is an important video to watch. This is what I was taught when I took that economics course. This is what most people are taught… even those politicians who seem to say otherwise. I know we all have our political views, but I bet we can all agree one one thing: The US government needs to give us more of our own money back. Stop taxing us to “create wealth” somewhere else, let us do it. Lower taxes during a recession, not increase it, give businesses the ability to re-invest in themselves so they can hire more people and buy more products, allow people to start their own business easily, get us as much of those tax dollars you can spare and le us recover the economy.Period

Make the economic pie bigger, don’t just slice the one we have into more parts.

The new normal indeed… Watch the video, especially the first minute.

Lets be grown about this. Let us really and TRULY get all sides of this and what is going on. I can tell you right now that we may be in for some trouble if our government continues to spend money it doesn’t have and print money just to pay its own debts (while at the same time devaluing the dollar… those gas prices are going to go up again, but not because oil is more expensive, it because you dollar is worth less than it was)

One thing to really remember (and I am going to write about this in detail one day), the reason why the American middle class is shrinking is not just because the rich are getting richer; It is because the money we earn is worth less and less. For people with millions (especially high net worth earners), it doesn’t matter as much, but for us, it matter allot.
