Dinosaurs and Robots: Charming Lotus Cortina Race Car

Take a look at this hunk of junk.


Dinosaurs and Robots: Charming Lotus Cortina Race Car

Though perfectly charming in every way, the high $59,500 Buy-It-Now price is doing a wonderful job of keeping me from surrendering to the Lotus Cortina's considerable personality.



This care certainly does have personality. Sometimes personality goes a long way. Sometimes it really HAS to. Read more about this car and find the link to buy it now on eBay at Dinosaurs and Robots.com.

Modding Flying Cars

I've been saying it for years now. As a child, I was promised that by this point in my life, there would be flying cars. When I grew up I wanted to fly my car to work every day. It was inevitable. I saw it in Back to the Future II, so it will certainly happen. Zemeckis can't be wrong! But it hasn't happened yet and I've had to get over it. No more! Now I can see from the images and video posted on this graphic editor's site that actually creating flying cars is not too far off into the future. All that was needed I guess was Photoshop. Modding flying cars in Aviary.


Okay, admittedly the videos and images are all fake and don't have any actual basis in a live model available today. However, it's still cool.

Car Buying Tips: Step by Step: The Car Buying Checklist

Hey, so what if the economy is in the toilet. Everybody needs a new occasionally and what you need are the best car-buying tips you can get for free! Seriously!



Many people feel that they know how to buy a car from a dealer. They've bought many cars in their lives and they "don't need no stinkin' advice" to make the best deal they can make.


Before you go into the process of purchasing a vehicle, remember 2 things:



  1. Regardless of how prepared you think you are, there's probably something you missed if you aren't systematic about it.

  2. Most people buy a car every 2-5 years. Most salespeople sell 2-5 cars a week. They have a little more experience than you on "the battlefield".


Here's a step-by-step checklist that briefly describes the process you should use before, during, and after making a car deal.

Audi of America > See All Models > Audi R8

Just had an instant message conversation tonight from my brother-in-law, Nate, and he posted a link to a very beautiful car. Since he is a certified Audi mechanic he gets to see cars like this every day.



(7:51:16 PM) Nate Tuskey: check this out --hottest car we sell

(7:51:19 PM) Nate Tuskey: ive only seen one

(7:51:21 PM) Nate Tuskey: The Audi R8



Audi R8


When I agreed that it is was a very pretty car, he underlined the point of it's awesomeness.



(8:40:36 PM) Nate Tuskey: oh yeah --its like sex on wheels

(8:40:49 PM) Nate Tuskey: and faster than a cheetah on cocaine



Audi R8


Nice.



(8:42:12 PM) Nate Tuskey: oh yeah it tops out at 240



Audi R8


Okay Nate, I'm interested now. Are you gonna buy me one?



(8:43:12 PM) Nate Tuskey: but they do start at 150k



So, I guess picking out what color I want can wait for a while.


Audi R8



(8:45:36 PM) Nate Tuskey: yeah ---the only problem with the r8 it that its kinda hard to drive



Audi R8



(8:45:52 PM) Nate Tuskey: its a manual transmissions without a clutch pedal

Audi R8



(8:46:25 PM) Nate Tuskey: see --thats how confusing it is



I guess I can make some sacrifices. Nate is going to an auto show next month where there will be one of these and he will probably be uploading some more pics.
