Here is a story about me and my crazy 86 Camaro. PART 1: (Ya i know it is f***ing long. Shoot me later) Ya I don't look like a camaro guy and neither did I covenant one at the time. To be honest my dream car was always a rx7 efini, but it was something so rare, so diaboloically impossible to find in LHD that I somehow got roped into buying something like this. Somehow in March, when it was -24 C me and my chevy nerd coworker went out to some farm in Beaumont to go look at some cars. We went to some "douchebags" garage, and somehow I came across this 1986 carberated camaro. 305 and a 700r4 transmission....he says he can't get the car to run properly, gave it a horrible paint job with too much thinner, broke half the pieces in the dash trying to get to a leaking heater core, both seats were torn, no window seals so leaves and water were in the door which soaked and warped the vinyl door panels.... I honestly looked at this with disbelief at this pile of shit. Thankfully my chevy nerd coworker happens to be an automotive mechanic. He looks at this thing, goes underneath the car and tells me "Holy shit it is rust free, not been bagged, needs a ton of work, BUT RUST FREE". I honestly told him "I don't know man. Smells like mice piss". So since he knows chevy's like the back of his hand, I tell him to negotiate a price, hand him the cash. "How much you want for the car" - Luke "$2500" - Douchebag "$2000 ?" - Luke "Sold" - Douchebag "WTF" - Me "Congrats you own a camaro" - Luke So we take it back to the airport garage (where I work) and I find out Luke happens to be "MR CAMARO" and has enough parts to build 4 complete ones stashed in his shed. So he runs back home and gets me window seals so I don't have shit get inside when I park it in our yard. I start taking apart door panels ...etc After 1 week, I literally spent everyday after work, tinkering with my car. -changed the window seals -put in a deck -changed the hood and hatch gas cylinders, -changed brake pads, rotors, calipers, brake lines, -struts and the front springs .....(never again. The spring compressor wouldn't fit because of the location so we "welded together" a makeshift one. Holy shit sketchy as hell), -Luke tuned up the carb with his voodoo magic -changed a leaking rad and all heater hoses. -and the broken steering column Before I took off, I gave it a good wash. Looks better already

Both games included with GeForce GTX 980 or GTX 970. Nvidia has announced that purchases of its GeForce GTX 980 or GTX 970 graphics cards will include a free copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Batman: Arkham Knight. In an official statement, the hardware manufacturer said both games benefit from Nvidia GameWorks, its middleware software suite that brings together rendering, visual effects, and physics development modules. “Both Batman: Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt raise the bar for graphics, rendering two very different open worlds with a level of detail that we could only dream of last decade," the company said. “On the PC, each game is also bolstered by Nvidia GameWorks--increasing fidelity, realism, and immersion." The Witcher 3 release date was recently delayed by three months but is now expected to ship on May 19. Meanwhile, the Batman: Arkham Knight release date is set for June 23. Publisher Warner Bros. recently responded to criticism over the pricing of its $40 (£32.99) season pass by detailing some of the content that will be offered to purchasers, such as a prequel campaign featuring Batgirl, character skins, and additional story missions.

I'm LOVING this car! If I ever buy another new car, THIS will be it! I wonder how fast it will be before more than 50% of cars will be electric similar to this one? -
Automotive X-Prize champ Edison2 has unveiled the latest version of its super fuel efficient VLC, or Very Light Car, as the teardrop-shaped vehicle moves several steps closer to production. The prototype VLC won the competition with a highway fuel economy of 129 mpg, thanks to an extremely aerodynamic body and a curb weight of under 1,000 pounds, which meant it could be powered by a 250cc single-cylinder engine, like a small motorcycle. An electric version later delivered the equivalent of 350 mpg. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/04/15/next-generation-very-light-car-revealed/?intcmp=features

Or maybe we should stop letting men leave the home without women to supervise them. http://www.sfgate.com/news/world/article/Chinese-man-drives-car-into-students-injuring-13-4144574.php BEIJING (AP) — A man angered by a court ruling in the murder of his daughter rammed a car loaded with a gas tank and firecrackers into a group of middle schoolers, injuring 13 in the country's latest attack on students. The man ran down 23 students at Fengning No. 1 Middle School in northern China's Hebei province on Monday, the official Xinhua News Agency said Tuesday, citing local police. Xinhua said the man, identified as 48-year-old Yin Tiejun, later lit a bottle of diesel in an attempt to set his car on fire. Police put out the fire and found the gas tank and firecrackers in the trunk of the car, but Xinhua said Yin told police in an interrogation later that the materials were not meant for an attack. Yin has been detained on charges of endangering public safety, Xinhua said. Xinhua described Yin as having been upset for years that a court did not sentence to death all four assailants involved in the murder of his daughter three years ago. The report did not give further details of the murder but said the children hurt in Monday's car crash were not tied to the case. Xinhua said the man did not act under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Students were hospitalized with injuries that included skull fractures and crushed feet, Xinhua said. The local Fengning county government confirmed the incident in a written statement and said Yin was driving a Geely sedan. Citing eyewitnesses, the Beijing-based state-run Jinghua Times said the accident occurred when students were leaving school for noon break and that the car accelerated and knocked down students, many of whom were on bikes. On Dec. 14, a Chinese man took a kitchen knife and went on a stabbing spree that left 23 students wounded in an elementary school in Henan province. China has seen more than a half-dozen school attacks in less than three years, though the death tolls have been mostly in single digits, largely because knives have been the most-used weapon. China largely prohibits private ownership of guns. Several of the attacks have been sparked by grudges, which some experts say shows that the violence stems from simmering and widespread frustration over the growing wealth gap, corruption and too few legal channels for people who have grievances.
