I was reading an article about the new Lamborghini LP-560-4 in the Maxim magazine and I noticed something wrong with it. Ky Henderson, the author, needs a lesson in mid-engine cars before he goes and posts. Sorry, the engine isn’t in the front, so those massive air intakes do not cool the “beleaguered” engine; however they do cool the front calipers and rotors for the brakes.
Maxim needs to get some new authors or editors. Next time Ky, you need to get your shit straight, before you go ahead and use big words; bro, my spellchecker doesn’t even recognize the word “fasciae”.
Yeah.

Dodge, Chrylser, and Jeep are doing $2.99 gas for your truck, jeep, or car for three years if you buy one of their vehicles. You can only fill up to 12,000 miles a year, so the biggest money savers are going to be the trucks: It takes more miles per gallon to get to 12,000 so Truck Drivers will be saving more money!
For instance a Chyrsler 300 has an average 20 MPG, so it’s only allowed to fill 1800 gallons a year. If gas is $4.00, you’ll end up saving 1800X3, which is $4800. But if you get a Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup, you can get 2400 gallons per year at $2.99 to save a whooping 7200 in gas dollars(If gas is at $4.00).
I would definitely get a Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep if they had some good looking cars. All their cars look like shit, and trucks waste too much gas; even though you save more with getting a truck, you have to spend more to get to 12000 miles.
Seriously, if they had any decent looking cars I’d definitely hop on this deal. Not only are they giving you gas…

After successfully reaching its job-cutting goal of 11,000 jobs, Chrysler chairman Bob Nardelli announced a very enticing incentive to lease a Chrysler. Until May 31, Chrysler will be offering $2.99 gas for three years at 12,000 miles per year. No matter what the price of gas, a card from Chrysler will pay the difference, only costing you $2.99 per gallon.
On the surface this looks like an extremely enticing deal, especially with the price of gas breaking new records nearly every day recently. Some say the average price of gas could reach $4.00 per gallon during the summer of 2008, however, with some rough math the savings aren’t as great as expected.
I made some very rough estimates, saying that the average Chrysler vehicle hold 18 gallons of gas and averages 20 miles per gallon. Then I estimated that the average price of gas over the next three years would be around $4.20 (luckily in Texas we don’t see near the average). That equals 360 miles per tank of gas, meaning you would fill up 33 times per year at the 12,000 mile limit, equaling 100 total fill-ups during the 3-year leasing…

In 2000, BMW wanted to experiment with a new way of advertising. They decided instead of marketing their cars directly, they would make five short films and have their cars in them. The name of the series of Films is called The Hire, and they are surprisingly fun to watch! The films all last for six minutes and have the main character, Clive Owen, driving a BMW. But every film has a unique storyline and a different BMW.
Here is my favorite: The Hire- Star. This video has Madonna!
They spent 60 millions dollars total for five films, do you think it was worth it? The films are all very good, but stopped making them because it cost them too much money.
Yeah.

The company is run by 7 people and it only costs about $40,000. It has a supercharged Civic Type-R engine and a better horsepower to weight ratio than a Ferrari Enzo. Oh yeah, it can also easily beat any bike you see on the road. Talk about a bargain, I just wish I had to money to throw around for it right now.
