It's blog overhaul time!! I have officially started the makover of this page, yeah the one you're reading. The things that stay the same will be few, (probably) the next time you some here I'll have a new title, rethought profile, and a new description (done). I', not getting rid of the template, and my post topics shall remain the same. Updates as progress occurs.

It's about time!!! Yes we, the Americans, have finally built a good, no, awsome car!! The standard Ford GT is a pretty good car, but now there's a convertible version, called the GTX1. It's kind of like the Lamborghini Murcielago. The standard version is very good, but when a convertible got brought out it just blows your mind away (mine anyway). It just looks, better and it's more interesting. Sure performance is comprimised a bit but who cares?? You can't really maximise your 200+ mph drop-top supercar anywhere, can you? Anyway, I don't have many details about the car, but I do have pictures, and I want it. Unfortunatly there's only one, that makes it even harder too get, also rare. That's good for coolness. It's got the same 5.7 liter V8 pumping out 550 bhp. The sticker price here is $149, 000 (about £84,600) The intereior's a bit odd, but people'll be looking at hte outside anyway so it doesn't matter. There's a company that's going too start selling conversions so your GT can become a convertible. They aren't cheap though. I should point out that Foed is currently in survival mode (they lost something like $3 billion last year in porfits) and the GT is being dropped in September. Right, bed with stig.

Finally got my hands on The Sims 2 Nightlife. Best chunk of change I've spent in ohh about two weeks since I got my MP3 player. Surprised I didn't post about that....anyway It's really cool. Finallly cars, no more taxis, many more cool features, like downtown with reastraunts, bowling alleys, nightclubs, all kinds of cool stuff. I haven't had it for long but if I have another dry streak in the posting world, it might be helpful.
In other news, I got an MP3 player!! I don't care if I already said that. It's a 20 GB DELL, exactly what I wanted, and I love it!! Went snowmobiling Sunday, 92 miles, twas quite good once you got out of town and into the middle of nowhere. Even got a pic of me.
I know I've mentioned that I had too write a book for school, well I finally finished that. Well I'm out of things too say now...back in another week, hopefully sooner.

Acabion GTBO 70:
Buagatti Veyron, bah, McLaren F1, not even trying, if you want to blow the doors off anything else on the road you want the Acabion GTBO 70. Details on the one are few and I don't know if I belive the ones that there are. Anyhoo, the German company is claiming a top speed of 375 mph for the most powerful model. 0-280 is gone in 19 seconds. How did they produce that kind of speed, it's got a 1.3 liter motocycly/motorbike engine tuned to a monsterous 690 bhp. Before you get carried away with that though, you need too know that the car might as well be a motorcycle. At anything above walking pace two of the wheels fold away, creating a more aerodynamic figure. It also helps that the thing weighs 791 pounds, that's not much in car terms, the average sedan weighs about 3000 or so. Amazingly it's not hopelessly impractical, it's got a 150 liter trunk/boot, and with an electric motor for low speed driving does 70.5 mpg. Want one, not me. Look at the thing, it's not so much a car as a 375 mph funeral on wheels. I don't know about pricing but they're taking customer orders.
On an update, It's not road legal. Not Here anyway, there aren't outside mirrors and I don't see any lights, and somehow I doubt the crash-testing went well for it.

I'm very annoyed right now. SAAB (my favorite sensible car maker) made a really cool prototype car. It's called the Aero X, it does 0-62 in 4.9 seconds, pushed and oulled there by all wheel drive and a 400bhp twin-turbo V6. It has no door or windshield pillars to give the driver 180 degree vision. Instead of regular doors most of the car opens up to let you in.
So why am I annoyed then> Sounds like a great car and a great way to get rid of the rather boring image that SAAB has. Why am I annoyed....it'll never be built. COME ON!!!
