AC Shnitzer did an interesting number on the new 3 series. I think its pretty cool, I dont like the black rims, I prefer the silver rims with touchs of black. AC Shnitzer usually comes out with some interesting touches to BMWs and give them a more aggressive look, and I think that is pretty nice with the silver rims, and I think that they have done a good job with the 3 series, even the older models were really nice.
SEMA is a convention held in Las Vegas every year in the beginning of November for the After-Market Industery, basically anything company that sells items to customize vehicles. This is probably one of the best conventions that I have ever gone to and I wish I could have gone more often, the first and last time I went was on November of 2004! Its huge and so many customized vehicles. I really wanted to see the lifted trucks!
But since I can go their much I still take a look at the pictures online! You guys should check it out! So many different and unique cars! Over 1900 pictures to view!

Im not much for Ferraris really, but this F 430 is pretty slick. It has been done by the customizing company C&C out of Los Angeles. I like the smoked out lights and a very tastefully done body kit. And the weather their permits for them to drive with the top down most of the time. Very nice. My friend was really happy when he was taking the pictures! hehehe
The New Chevy Silverado and Chevy Avalanche have been redesigned. They look pretty different then the previous model, and Im the type of person that loves trucks. Extremely useful vehicles and you can modify the hell out of them. Since I have been looking at trucks a lot recently these didn’t impress me too much, I like the design a lot, but I prefer the 06 model Silverado and the 00-03 models. I always go through ebay and autotrader to check out any good deals on used trucks! I like how there are a lot high quality after market parts for these vehicles, I love working on vehicles and getting the customization done in a tasteful and original way.
Now this is one hell of rim! They ran out of the chrome designs so they decided to go clear! Now the only way I think this wouldwork is if the Truck, SUV, or Sedan running this would need to have some really good looking breaks and rotors, the sports looking ones like Brembo breaks. And yeah they are $2000 a piece and range from 22 to 24inchs in size. It would look good on the right setup, but 90% of the time it will look horrible!

A friend of mine just emailed this to me a few minutes ago! I dont even know if this thing is going to be produced, but the front looks ugly in my opinion, but the back looks ok. No other details available to me at this time. I can only imagine how much it would cost and how it would drive. I dont even know what engine they will use! This is going to be interesting.
That was one of the best trips I have had in a long time!!!
I will be posting alot the next couple of days! Just so anyone who is curious knows, I went to California for two days of work and a nice two week break to spend with my friends living there! And I have a lot of pictures to post! There are so many that I have to post them! Especially the ones of the drive!
The weather there was 40% sunny and 60% rain, I spent a day and a half in Los Angeles and then two weeks in Santa Clara, which is 30 miles (50Km) south of San Francisco. I had a hell of a time! I didnt realize how much I missed my friends! And it was good catching up! Anyways I will be posting the whole travel story for you guys!
And I have reviews of movies, airlines, products, and so much more!
So I woke up early and went to the NBK branch in the city early in the morning so I hit some traffic but not too much. I was finishing things up and then by the time I was going to work I was going against traffic which was a fantastic feeling! Look at the empty road! How could you not feel like speeding! So I did shortly after putting down the camera! A little fun before going to work! hehehe
And look at all the traffic next to me. Sucks to be them! lol! I wanted to gloat for once I wasnt stuck in morning traffic!
So I have put some thought into this, but I want to help people out who drive quick. Sometimes you know the road is empty and you just want to go quicker, but you dont know where the damn cameras are. So I am going to try to do is get a digital map of quick and plot out every camera that I know of. And everyone of them at every intersection and highway, and side streets. Any info that you people can provide will be helpful. And I will try taking pictures of every camera. This is a big project that will take a little while, but at least it will be useful for people. And I will also mention if these cameras can be rotated back or forth.
The one problem I have is I do now know where to get a good map of Kuwait. Does anyone know where I can get a good digital map of Kuwait. I really dont mind paying for the map since people will get useful information out this! And I will keep people updated on this project! I hate cameras and this is what I am doing to thwart the camera system!
A friend of mine sent me this link about a BMW 318’s accelerator and he hit top speed and his brakes failed, but he survived! I was kind of shocked that happened. I dont want to give out details, but you can read the article:
What I would have done:
- Not given a damn about the car, thrown it into neutrel and scrapping it against the barrier of the A1 to slow the car to a hault.
