What's the most infamous outlaw's car? [Question Of The Day]: "

Hardened criminals' most loyal accomplices aren't always made of flesh and blood — some are made of aluminum und schteel. Often, the cars history's outlaws drove wound up as infamous as the outlaws themselves. What's the most infamous outlaw's car?

The nearly-new 1934 Ford Model 730 Deluxe Sedan Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow stole in Illinois became known as their 'death car.' That after the two bandits faced down an ambush by police from Texas and Louisiana. A hail of bullets riddled the car, killed Bonnie and Clyde, and it went down in history as one of the most infamous cars in history. There are indeed others.

Peeved Lamborghini owner destroys car with sledgehammer, others help: "

Filed under: Coupe, China, Etc., Lamborghini

Stop! Hammertime? Well, if you're the owner of this particular Lamborghini Gallardo, you're not saying stop, but 'go, go, go!' According to reports, the happless Gallardo was purchased about six months ago by a resident of Qingdao, China. In his short period of ownership, the man has apparently had a few issues with the car.



In one instance, the Lamborghini wouldn't start, so the owner had it towed to the local dealer. Upon arrival at the service bay, the owner found that the car had been damaged in transit. No one would claim responsibility and the original non-starting issue still wasn't fixed.



The Gallardo owner attempted to escalate the issue within the Lamborghini family, ultimately trying to reach out to Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann. No response or solution has been offered so the owner has become decidedly frustrated. So frustrated, in fact, that he decided destroying his Lamborghini in public would be the best way to garner attention.



According to the report, the owner is trying to make a point that China is home to a growing number of individuals capable of purchasing luxury items. Companies realizes this and are making increased efforts to offer their products to the Chinese people. However, the Lamborghini owner believes that the Chinese people do not get the same level of service found in other markets. By smashing his Gallardo, he's certainly captured our attention.



By the way, a new Lamborghini Gallardo, which typically sells for $230,000 on up, retails for between $529,000 and $757,000 USD in China. Ouch. Thanks to everyone for the tips!

Red Building / Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects: "

The new addition to the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, California, which spans 40 years of design and construction, is the Red Building by Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects. The first phase of the three-part composition is the Blue Building was completed in 1975 by Cesar Pelli when he was Partner for Design at Gruen Associates. The Green Building and an outpost for the Museum of Contemporary was added in 1988. The Red Building is a programmatic addition to the showrooms and museum of the first two structures.

More on this project after the break.

Located on a 14-acre site, the buildings are organized around an outdoor plaza. The Red Building is the most dynamic of the composition which already includes the six-story Blue Building that houses showrooms and office space, and the nine-story Green Building which contains a film theater and conference center. The new addition alters the site, creating a more defined public outdoor space. It will house 400,000 square feet of office space and parking for 1,500 cars.

The Red Building is composed of two curved, sloping towers atop seven levels of parking. The six-story West Tower slopes inward against the Hollywood Hills to the north. The eight-story East Tower continues the gesture, curving upward and culminating in a high point to the east. A seventh-floor courtyard planted with palm trees is located between the two towers. The walls facing the Palm Court will be of the same technology as the red walls, but will be of white glass to give the courtyard a light, ethereal quality. The courtyard will offer views if Hollywood Hills to the north and the other building of the Design Center. Like the previous two Pacific Design Center buildings, the Red Building will be clad in glass. While the glass of the earlier buildings was opaque, the façade of the Red Building includes both transparent and fritted glass. To create a taut, all-glass appearance, the red glass is held in its aluminum frames with silicone.

Dahulu kala.. ada seorang pemuda.. berkendara kuda elektrik dengan nama kudanya dinamakan... VEGA-R.. produksi 2003, warna silver.... 100 CC kekuatan goyangnya

Sekarang pemuda itu menemukan pengganti atau substitusi dari kuda tahun 2003 itu tersebut.. dia beri nama.. BAJAJ XCD 125 Dts-i, gubraaaagggg... mau bilang ganti motor aja susah-susah banget yach...

yups... gw ganti motor coy.. dari Vega-R 2003 ke Bajaj XCD 125 CC.. gambarnya diatas ye...

Oke.. pertama2 gw kepincut sama motor ini alasan gw cuman satu.. seperti halnya bikers2 diluar sana pasti sependapat sama pendapat gw...

ada 3 alasan utama kenapa gw suka sama ini motor:

1. BUDGET (jangan munafik bos.. hari gini kagak lihat budget...)

2. GAYA, gayanya gw demen banget.. secara gw suka tokusatsu.. gw cari motor yang mirip2 belalang tempur nya kotaro minami... yach serupa tapi gak mirip.. ya udah gw pilih XCD ajah.... (gak masuk akal...)

3. WARNA, Hitam black full......, secara lah gw anak metal screamo underground ma bini gw keturunan Amy Lee langsung... ya udah Black is the Choice...

nah lo.. trus spesifikasi motor, performa mesin, keunggulan dan fitur2 motor yang seharusnya jadi pertimbangan gw dimana?? koq gak jadi pertimbangan....

jawaban gw simple....

kalo rusak yach di service aja coy.... garansi 3 tahun 1/1 spare parts coy..

Bos2 yang lain yang lebih ngerti motor harap maklum ye... maklum nich.. gw kagak ngerti motor semengerti bos2 diluar sana...

Moto gw cuman 1...

Biar pelan asal selamat sampai tujuan... ^_^,



Peace....

Licin & belok...) trus sampai dech di sebrang, trus tinggal nyetop Metro 640 / P19.. Jangan 45.. coz gk lewat Sogo..

trus bayarnya.. ini yg penting.. cukup dengan Rp. 1,000 rupiah ^_~


06.30 = Yup gak ada beberapa menit..apalagi setengah Jam... (kalau lewat jembatan yg disediakan di shelter busway Dukuh Atas... maka kalau SIAL akan kena macet ngantri di Pintu departure ke Busway nya.. secara banyak orang yg ke Kota dan Thamrin...) makanya semenjak itu (lewat jalan terowongan)sudah tidak pernah lagi ke sana...(nyambung Busway ke Bunderan HI-nya)

Trus turun di Halte Bunderan HI, trus jalan kaki paling lama 5-7 menit..., trus sampe kantor Dech.. gedung Oil Centre....
