Blog 6 - October 22, 2012

Hiya! Thanks for logging in!

Switching gears this week, lets spend a little time on transportation. Get it? "Switching gears?" Come on guys, that was funny . . .

Anyway, I found this cool link that shows some current concept cars with facts about each car. I want you to look through them on Tuesday and wait until Thursday to blog.

For credit this week you will need to pick one of the following concept cars and tell us which car you picked and one fact about that car to receive credit. Please don't forget to sign your post.

WARNING: Many people didn't receive their blog credit last week because they didn't follow the instructions. Don't let that be you. You must always READ MY WORDS and ANSWER THE APPROPRIATE QUESTIONS to receive credit. Don't ever just follow the link and think you know what I'm asking.

I picked the 2013 Alfa Romeo 4C because I like the look of it.
The show car weighed less than 1800 pounds which would make it really fast.

i think the jaguar C-X75 will be a cool car to get even though is really expensive, but is really fast, so for those that like fast cars and are rich, this would be a good choice.

2013 Jaguar C-X75 is a very attractive car. It has like an aero dynamic type body. To me ,the desing, they went all out with the interior and exterior, but that interior is amazing with the whole futuristic theme. It's a pretty fast car as well. The price is pretty high but i mean it looks like you'll get what you paying for with it.

In all honesty I am not that big on cars. Some people are like "aw yeah my car has a turbo fueled engine. HOLLER!" and I'm just like "Oh yeah well mine has a cute bumpersticker." I guess I'm just not into all the extra buttons and whistles on a car I just want something that will get me from point A to point B. That being said I do like the look of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell. I would probably go for a black one or something less... flamboyent. But I mean it looks pretty cool and I mean come on. Doors that open up as opposed to the side! Its like a car from the future minus the flying. Also it promises 0ótoó60 acceleration in a little over 4 seconds. Now I'm assuming thats pretty dang fast cause one time I went on a roller coaster that did something like that (rockin roller coaster at disney world. It was cray cray) and that was pretty impressive if you ask me. So if you get this car its kinda like having a roller coaster everywhere you go!

Fernando, thank you for asking. MY dream car would be a Porsche 911 Carrera. With the spoiler. Cherry red.

Yes, I know there are faster choices. No, I don't care. I've always wanted one. If I won the lottery today I would drive straight to the Porsche dealership in Houston and buy myself one tomorrow.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG E-Cell is straight up swag, as swag as it gets to be honest, beyond swag to say in better words. I like that it has butterfly doors it honestly can't get any more swag than this.

i like the 2012 Scion FR-S becuase it has rear-wheel drive. Power and pricing are up in the air, though the rumored low-$20,000 range would pit the small car against the V6 Mustang and Camaro crowd. an it red
