In life you meet new people just by walking up to someone and saying hello. Your appearance gives other people the first impression of your personality, your feeling, facial expressions, and the tone of your voice can give somebody a great picture of how you are. The world of cars is the same way with first impressions. If you see a nice car driving down the road, you think that the owner of the car has money, or has done a lot of work into the car.

Your car is a part of your life. When you drive to someplace new, the first thing people see is your car. Your car signifies what you enjoy and personality. This is why people design their cars the way they want to. A car is a perfect way to express yourself and to make a statement of your personality. What better way to do this that tuning your car to the way you want it.

Tuning your car can be done several ways. Some people go to get the most horsepower out of the engine; some people choose to make the paint job their tuning of choice.

Tuning your car for performance is a great way to show your work. Adding boost to your engine is a nice way to add power to your vehicle. A nice smooth delivery system for this power shows others that you know what you are doing. That power boost is controlled be the electronic brain, or the cars nervous system of your vehicle. All controls have to go through the brain box of the car but you can enhance the output of the cars performance. If you force air into the engine, it will keep the engine cool and make the combustion stroke add more power to the output of your engine.

If you want to avoid the brain control, you can have a valve control switch put in which allows direct flow of the combustible fuel right to the turbo unit. By installing the valve into the line, allows an even flow into the chamber and allowing the liquid to combine with the oxygen and the other fuel. This allows a faster acting control of the boost and the response of the vehicle to the boost of the fuel quicker.

Mechanical boost controls are sometimes added to give the driver of the vehicle more control over the whole machine. If you don’t think you can control the boost level while controlling the car, the electrical boost module is the best way to go. Have you seen a race like a drag race? You tune your car to the point of racing that is a statement, especially when you install the NOS system.

NOS are nothing more that the manufacturers name for the system that they designed. A common mistake when made is the name of the NOS system because they think that NOS stands for nitrous oxide, but it doesn’t. NOS stand for Dinitrous monoxide.

This gas is used in the airplanes today and is an easy modification you can add to your car to give it the boost you need for more speed. This is a non-flammable liquid by its self but when combined with air and regular gas from your engine, it gives your fuel the extra boost it needs to give you the power you are looking for. The change from liquid to gas during the injection process adds the power you want and it also cools down the engine if used in small bursts. If you think of adding NOS to your car, make sure the fuel delivery system can handle the boost of gas that can go through the lines. NOS need more oxygen than regular fuel that is why you need a fuel delivery system. Adding this system to your car is not very cheap, so when you use a boost makes sure you keep your bottles of NOS full. Once fully installed, you will be ready for the speed you are looking for.

Now that you have the engine modified to the way you want it, it is time to customize the outside of your car giving it the personal touch. Styling your car it all up to you and the way you want it. No one can tell you how you want it because it is your car. Design it and make it look like the way you want it. By designing your car, you make a statement about you and you have a unique car that is on the road.

If you are going for a cheap but flashy look, you can always buy stickers to add to outside of your car. You can buy stickers that say what you want to tell everyone and not get in trouble for saying it. If you have put the part into your engine, sometimes they send you decals or stickers you can put on your car. Tell everyone that you put time and money into your car and what parts you put into your car without opening the hood. If you decide to go with the decals or stickers, make sure the day is warm. Stickers will not stick to the cold surface of your car. Some stickers are translucent with means the color of your car will go through the sticker, changing the color of the stickers’ original color.

The last thing to consider when bringing your car to a car show is to make the interior of your car a statement of you. You can also get a shift lever and other control knobs to give your car a look that you want for not a lot of money. The easiest thing to change and give your car a statement is the car mats. You can get ones that are just out of this world or mats that just say what you feel. Now going into more detail, you can change the lighting and the styling of the gauges on your car. You can get many different styles of gauges at your local auto parts store. The gauges come in many different colors and sizes so pick out the one you like because ultimately, your car is a statement of you and your personality.

What is the Lamborghini Estoque?
Believe it or not, many exotic car lovers require much more than just speed and exceptional high performance, they also require a little utility- how about bringing more than just one supermodel with you at a time.  The Lamborghini Estoque will be the first sedan for this automaker- seating 4 and it is looking to be a winner.

While the Lamborghini Estoque is still seeking VW’s board approval for the go ahead, if things go well (and most are expecting so), this vehicle can make an appearance as early as late 2010 or 2011.  While it is still unknown what will be under the hood in the end, most in the know think that it looks good that the Lamborghini will offer this four door- four seat sedan with a turbocharged 8 cylinder or a more beefy 5.2 liter V10 that is already offered in the Gallardo.  With the 5.2 liter V10, you can probably expect about 500 horsepower and 450 lb ft of torque.  In addition to these options it is still possible that other engines including a hybrid or diesel can be available. Besides a nice choice of engines, it can be a very real possibility of matching the engine with a new 7 speed dual clutch gearbox.
So, for those wondering, just how much this vehicle will go for in 2011?  Well if production is about 3K a year, expect this vehicle to fetch in the $240K price range.

A few new cars have been introduced and the pictures are hotter than ever.

Here’s the photo gallery we’ve chosen from the best we’ve seen at the expo.

Check the new models (I mean the cars, of course, not the girls), use them as your PC desktop wallpaper, print them, give them to friends, whatever, but enjoy!

Originally founded in 1929 as a racing car brand as Scuderia Ferrari its founder, Enzo Ferrari, was faced with the problems that came about during the second world war – as the Italian government absorbed his company, but due to its small size it was not affected by the machining for war – and his company survived although it was banned from making race cars for four years after the war. Enzo was forced to make regular cars and other things in order to keep the company profitable, but he did not favor that as he preferred to create racing machines that could devastate the competition.

In 1947 he changed the name, and his fast well engineered cars began to become famous, as they outperformed everything else and soon were popular among the rich. Enzo is also famous for severely disliking his customers in the extreme seeing them as just wanting the cars to show off, and not use to their full powerful potential that they could be. Unfortunately in 1969 the company hit fiscal problems and Enzo was forced to sell it to fiat in order to save the company and keep it floating. He continued to maintain control over the racing division until his death at 90 years of age. Today Fiat owns most of Ferrari and recently they have given an opportunity to college student to design the next generation of Ferrari cars as a profitable way to outsource design concepts and save money – in addition to find new innovation.

Although this is the usual schedule, an exception to this is the Monaco Grand Prix held in Monte Carlo. In here, Friday practices are done instead on Thursday and each driver is allowed to practice twice on Friday and once on Saturday. In addition, a team is also permitted to use three drivers during their Friday practice but they should only use a maximum of two different cars.

Practice sessions are held before the start of the qualifying sessions. In Formula One racing, Friday and Saturday mornings are considered as practice days.

The qualifying sessions, which then follow, are used to organize the participants according to their starting positions during the main event. A “knock-out system” is used for multiple sessions, which eliminates the six slowest drivers in each round. The starting positions are determined in an ascending order. The first six slowest drivers assume the final positions in the line-up until the fastest drivers among the group fill up all the starting positions.

On the race day, a light grid is installed at the starting line to signal the start of the Formula One racing. The race is approximately a little over 190 miles long and the number of laps to be raced varies according to the current venue’s track length.

Before beginning the said event, racecars undergo a warm-up formation lap. This process is used by drivers to be able to place their cars in the correct starting position. This avoids the possibility of getting delayed due to equipment issues when cars undergo their respective pit stops. During pit stops, race cars get their tires changed, tank refueled, and equipments checked and maintained. Work must be done within a few seconds, keeping accuracy in troubleshooting concerns and safety as the top priority. During these pit stops, spectators are highly prohibited from approaching the pit areas.

Throughout the race, audiences will see race marshals waving flags to communicate with the drivers. Each flag has its own specific color to serve a specific purpose. The flags serve as both warning and information for each driver’s status during the race.

As the race comes to an end, the top eight drivers are the ones who receive points. The number of points received ranges from 1 up to 10 in Formula One racing. The first driver to finish receives 10 points together with his team while the one driver who comes in at second place gets 8 points. In Formula One racing, a maximum of two cars are allowed to be entered for a team. In case both cars qualify in the top eight, the points gained by the two winning cars may be added up by the team to help increase their total and their chances of winning.

The points won at each racing weekend are tallied to determine the overall season results. The driver and the team who earns the topmost points are then hailed as the World Champions of the said Formula One race thus capping a season-long event of fun, excitement, hard work, and anticipation.

Here are the babes!

Ok, ok, stop complaining! I’ll post some more really soon! Just stay tuned!

As we all know “Sex Sells”, so the marketers all over the world, try to get good models for their product and advertise their product with them. Why do we all see men’s undergarments advertisement with beautiful women in it ? Why do the fashion shows only take beautiful models ? It is all because of the marketing.

The other side of the debate ofcourse focuses on the moral side of it. It is morally objectionable to use women’s beauty for advertising issue. But there are those too which say that women themselves chose to be a part of this ( maybe because of the money involved ).

But whatever be the case, currently this form of marketing is working leaps and bounds, and getting the products ( including cars ) a good exposure ( pun very much intended ).

Cheerleader car washes usually are well worth the $5 or $10 you have to shell out for a good cleaning and while these car wash girls will look great in their skimpy outfits, make sure they earn every buck. Many guys get suckered into giving up all their hard cash just because of an innocent smile passed your way. Whether at the strip club or at a cheerleader car wash hold on tightly to your cash or it will all disappear.

For those that live in a college town or even small town with a local high school, it is extremely easy to find a cheerleader car wash usually early in the year or at the end of the year in June. These car wash girls depend on your charity to help them save up for special events and equipment. If you see a cheerleader car wash in progress the only right thing to do is patronize it. These car wash girls need your support.

One last thing, it is extremely important to know how to tip at a cheerleader car wash. Car wash girls will work extremely hard for a tip. While most girls expect a tip of a dollar or two, by flashing around a $5 or $10 bill will just about put any car wash girl in a frenzy.

If you want to get the most out of your cheerleader car wash experience, let the car wash girls first scrub and clean your car real good, then offer them the customary tip of $1, or $2 and then with a smile ask them if they can give your car a real good buffin if you pay a little extra. Make sure they buff the hood, this way you have a great vantage point of how well the work is being performed instead of having to look in your rear or side view mirrors. When the job is complete and you are satisfied with the hard work that the car wash girl performed this is your time to pay for all services rendered and to give the car wash girl a nice, big, fat tip.

How to Enjoy a Sexy Car Wash

It’s extremely easy to enjoy a sexy car wash, whether the girl is clad in a bikini or just a wet t-shirt. Many areas around the country offer hot car washes whether at established car washing businesses, contract services that come to your home or as part of special fundraisers for non profit organizations.

Sorority Bikini Car Wash

One of the best bargains on the road is a sorority fundraiser bikini car wash. With one of these hot car washes you can enjoy hot and sexy women while being philanthropic at the same time. Sorority bikini car wash is not only a practical way to get a squeaky clean car, but it is a great way to give back to the community.

Hire Your Own Sexy Car Wash

If your local college sorority does not offer a bikini car wash and you still feel that your car needs some good loving, then you can always hire a couple of beauties to give your car a spanking clean rim job. Ordering a sexy car wash can cost as little as $30 and while a hot car wash from two beautiful women can be candy for the eyes, it is actually money well spent since you also get a clean car. I always think of it as buying a lap dance for my buddy- in this case my buddy is my Ford pickup.

The civilians have started realizing that there can be nothing done to avoid such a nude car wash accompanied by some “adult rated” shows and exotic looking car wash babes. In regions with water scarcity, this has become a preferred way to get their cars cleaned by these alluring maidens. It is believed that such a concept could be initiated by strip club owners who seemed to believe that these car wash babes are much better to look at rather than spending your time with a certain flavor of coffee and some daily newspaper while waiting for your car to be cleaned.

But there are a certain amount of people who do not support the idea of insufficiently clothed females popularly known as the car wash babes, soaping down automobiles in their local community. Ever since these kinds of car wash centers are opened, it has provoked a stream of grievances from some honestly concerned residents. We all are known to the fact that car washing is a booming industry especially in the drought stricken areas where people are not allowed to wash their own cars due to water restrictions. However, officially it is taken for granted that there is nothing fishy or corrupted in these car wash babes staying in business. Such an adult wash is not carried out in public generally and moreover such a business adheres to the business by using recycled water.
