Shorty's
There is a large crowd today at Shorty's. When I feel blue, I come here to eat. The ribs are very tasty and quite reasonable that usually cost less than an arm and a leg.

Saab Sports Cars Sedan Concept By Youngho Jong Design For 2025
Jong’s goal was to design a vehicle that would warn other drivers of impending danger. With his research showing that 50% of vehicles accidents are caused by carelessness, excessive speed and tailgating, Jong wanted to create a car that would warn other drivers to back off and drive with care.
Jong has put together a design for a 2025 Saab Concept that combines the elements of nature and human psychology fit to warn other vehicles of any impending danger. The 2025 Advanced Warning System Vehicle concept is a four door saloon that comes with various warning signals to alert other drivers when he vehicle is getting too close or is driving recklessly. The same amber slips are found on the front and sides of the vehicle. Jong took his inspiration from nature’s Fire Salamander, which uses its bright, menacing colours to ward off potential predators.

Jong also mentions that the coolest part of this Saab Sport Sedan Concept is the body that is made of a soft, impact absorbing material that reduces pedestrian injuries and vehicle damage in collisions. He incorporate sharp edges and the colours red and yellow to further emphasises the possible danger.
All of this, it’s a very clever, if far-fetched solution to a very real problem we face in the world today. The technology Saab Sports Cars Sedan Concept By Youngho Jong Design For 2025 isn’t quite there yet, but it’s not too hard to believe that cars twenty years hence will use a system like this.

Next-Generation Bugatti Veyron to hit 440km / h

Next-Generation Bugatti Veyron to hit 440km / h?
Bugatti still doesn’t think that the Veyron is fast enough. After coming up with the Super Sport version of the car a few months back, the VW group owned company is now working on the next generation version of the car. The company has set a top speed target of 270mph for itself. The Current Veyron is known to be good for 253mph.The Super Sport version on the other hand has done an average run of 431.072 km/h (267.856 mph) in front of Guiness record officials.
Bugatti loses money on every car it makes owing to its technological excess. But the cash rich VW group is the last company in the world to bother about budgets if they could lay claim on being the manufacturers of the world’s fastest car. The company wants to push the envelope further.
According to Auto Express, the company would want the next version to shatter the perception of what a production car can do. The new warp-speed Bugatti Veyron is expected to make an appearance sometime in 2013.

Armed To The Teeth
Large stores such as the grocery store Publix have lots of cash at the end of the day and that is very tempting to daring individuals who want to get rich quick. The solution is these armed to the teeth and hardened to the max trucks that can easily withstand an Iraqui IDE. Inside, guards carry guns too... so don't even think about it.

2011 New Style Honda Odyssey
The 2011 Odyssey’s enhanced aerodynamic shape with a lower roofline contributes to class-leading highway fuel economy, while the improved interior packaging maintains similar vertical functionality as the previous model. A wider stance creates a more accommodating interior while accenting the exterior’s dynamic appearance. Significant improvements for convenience include a new ’3-mode’ second-row seat design that expands laterally, along with a simpler-to-operate, one-motion, 60/40 split 3rd-row Magic Seat®. The ’3-mode’ second row can better accommodate three passengers with improved comfort for all, and the new ‘wide mode’ supports third-row pass-through access from the side with as many as two child seats in place in the second row. The third row provides improved legroom, along with better sight lines out of the side windows – a functional improvement resulting from the exterior’s signature ‘lightning-bolt’ belt line.
Price: $27,800 – 43,250.
Invoice: $25,195 – 39,155.
Invoice: $25,195 – 39,155.
Interior Styling
The interior of the 2011 Odyssey embraces a ‘cool and intuitive’ theme consistent with its increased levels of technology and family versatility. The dashboard’s simple and clean lines accent the depth of the cabin for an open and spacious feeling. A key exterior design element, the lightning-bolt belt line, improves the interior sight lines from the third row. Úpscale materials available on certain models consist of metallic-look trim, glossy black panels and luxuriously grained soft surfaces. Interior color choices are beige, gray and truffle (dark gray). The Odyssey exemplifies quality from its ergonomically friendly controls and sensible human factors, such as the positioning of grab handles, bins and pockets; intuitive switches and controls; and the feel of textiles and soft-touch textured surfaces.
