So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Makers Of Supercars Not Hurting Due To Gas Price Hike

By Cornelius Nunev


Supercar manufacturing firms have not really gotten the memo concerning gas prices, even if most people are feeling the squeeze. High performance green cars are becoming more accessible, but traditional high-end sports vehicles are still being made without considering gas prices. The supercar market is a little more insular than the regular vehicle industry. An individual who can afford a Ferrari can spend a few extra dollars on gas.

McLaren looks to take on Bugatti

AutoWeek states the sports automobile company McLaren is working on a car that will come out in 2014. The MP4-12C was released by the company known for releasing the fastest road car in the world, the F1. Now, McLaren has a new project. The car will get about 800 horsepower with its 5-liter engine. In 2.8 seconds, the car should be able to go from 0 to 60 while being able to go from 0 to 200 miles per hour faster than the Bugatti Veyron with a price tag of $500,000.

GM is a great place to look for work now

To be able to get a new Corvette, General Motors is putting $131 million into getting a better version of Chevrolet's sports vehicle adding about 250 new jobs, reports CNN. The new Corvette probably will not be ready for release for a few years, but the new positions will open soon at the GM plant in Bowling Green, Ky., where the Corvette has been produced since 1981. Information on the vehicle isn't accessible yet. There still is not a release date either. Chevrolet is rolling out a new Camaro for 2012, according to Popular Mechanics, called the ZL1 Camaro. The same 6.2L V-8 in the Cadillac CTS-V with over 550 horsepower will be put in the ZL1.

Lean, mean and green

Performance car makers are concerned about the environment a little bit, although the vehicles that come from these automakers don't generally concern themselves with the environment. Hybrid automobile engineers are being interviewed by McLaren. It hopes to create more "green" automobiles. Porsche, according to USA Today, is currently taking orders for the 918 Spyder, a plug-in hybrid supercar that will go from 0 to 60 in 3.1 seconds, tops out at 199 miles an hour and will drive three more miles on electric power alone than the upcoming plug-in Prius hybrid will. The car also has good mileage. Its mileage is 78 miles per gallon typically. According to the Daily Mail, Ferrari released in 2010 a hybrid version of the 599. It hopes to, by 2015, have hybrid versions of all of its cars. The hybrid 599, the 599 HY-KERS, will do 200 miles an hour and get up to 25 miles per hour, though it still has a V-12vehicle can get 200 miles per hour and up to 25 miles per hour. Popular Science reports that in 2009, Lamborghini announced it wanted to have a hybrid by 2015. It seems even the worst automobiles are going green. Every person wants to save the environment.
