I will focus on the drive from Las Vegas to Kanab and then from there to the NPs of Utah and Arizona. The car. Dodge Charger 3.5L V6. Driving into Utah from Las Vegas. Their road engineering through these rugged landscapes keeps you awake. Long road. The scenic US89 is really scenic. Point Imperial at Grand Canyon North Rim. Cape Royal and Angels Window, Grand Canyon North Rim. Grand Canyon Lodge. Opens only in summer. Must book one year in advance. Not cheap. Me dicing with death at Grand Canyon North Rim at the Grand Canyon Lodge. The restaurant has these huge windows that let you dine looking out at these majestic cliffs. Grand Canyon pano at Grand Canyon Lodge Wahweap Lookout looking into Lake Powell. That is the Wahweap Marina on Lake Powell. Lake Powell is formed by the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. Horseshoe Bend near Page, AZ. Need to hike 1.5km to this place from the carpark area. Have to crawl up to the edge like a sniper to take this picture. The town of Kanab from my hotel window. Tunnels leading to Bryce Canyon. Bryce Canyon Pano of Bryce Canyon. Zion National Park. Checkboard Mesa Driving into the tunnel on the Mt Carmel-Zion Highway Weeping Rock, Zion NP Court of the Patriarchs, Zion NP Grafton Ghost Town off Rockville, UT Kolob Canyns at Kolob Canyons Road Terminus Kolob Canyons or Zion North pano

Yahoo news report : Pornstar Vonnie Lui loses iPhone4 pics Busty Hong Kong porn star Vonnie Lui Hoi-Yan claims she has lost her iPhone 4 and about 100 explicit photos that were in it, all of which are being forwarded around the world on the Internet, according to Sohu and Apple Daily. The AV model recently completed shooting "3D Sex & Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" which is widely touted as the world's first 3D porno movie when it is released come April 2011. She plays the Elder of Bliss in the Category III flick, also starring Japanese pornstars Yukiko Suo and Saori Hara. Some media reports have exaggerated the photo leak as a sex scandal of Edison Chen proportions but whatever the truth is, clearly the revelation is helping to market the film, if not the popular Apple mobile make. Earlier in the month, the 27-year-old "Slim Till Dead" and "Love Education" starlet was involved in an eye-popping promotion for the new 3D porno

Wow !!! 100km/l and weighs 660kg. Less than Vios (800+ KG?) The 55L tank in my car would go 5500km ! Half my yearly mileage !!! It seems they had the design plans stashed for the past 6 years. But only decided to take it out now. (they say due to costs, but I think due to high fuel prices ?) The plan is to make 1000 units for demo/testing by 2010. Actual Protype is already available as seen in below pics. http://blog.wired.com/cars/2008/07/laugh-at-high-g.html ========================================================= With gas prices going through the roof and regulators requiring cars to be ever more miserly, Volkswagen is bringing new meaning to the term "fuel efficiency" with a bullet-shaped microcar that gets a stunning 282 235 mpg. Volkswagen's had its super-thrifty One-Liter Car concept vehicle -- so named because that's how much fuel it needs to go 100 kilometers -- stashed away for six years. The body's made of carbon fiber to minimize weight (the entire car weighs just 660 pounds) and company execs didn't expect the material to become cheap enough to produce the car until 2012. But VW's decided to build the car two years ahead of schedule. According to Britain's Car magazine, VW has approved a plan to build a limited number of One-Liters in 2010. They'll probably be built in the company's prototype shop, which has the capacity to build as many as 1,000 per year. That's not a lot, but it's enough to help VW get a lot of attention while showing how much light weight and an efficient engine can achieve. VW unveiled the slick two-seater concept six years ago at a stockholder's meeting in Hamburg. To prove it was a real car, Chairman Ferdinand Piech personally drove it from Wolfsburg to Hamburg. At the time, he said the car could see production when the cost of its carbon monocoque dropped from 35,000 Euros (about $55,000) to 5,000 Euros (about $8,000) -- something he figured would happen in 2012. With carbon fiber being used in everything from airliners to laptops these days, VW's apparently decided the cost is competitive enough to build at least a few hundred One-Liters. VW's engineers -- who spent three years developing the car -- made extensive use of magnesium, titanium and aluminum to bring it in at less than one-third the weight of a Toyota Echo. According to Canadian Driver, the front suspension assembly weighs just 18 pounds. The six-speed transmission features a magnesium case, titanium bolts and hollow gears; it weighs a tad more than 50 pounds. The 16-inch wheels are carbon fiber. The magnesium steering wheel weighs a little more than a pound. How much of the concept car's exotic hardware makes it to the production model remains to be seen. Low weight only gets you so far in the quest for ultimate fuel economy; aerodynamics plays a big role. The One-Liter is long and low, coming in at 11.4 feet long, 4.1 feet wide and 3.3 feet tall. It features an aircraft-like canopy, flat wheel covers and a belly pan to smooth the airflow under the car. The engine cooling vents open only when needed, and video cameras take the place of mirrors. The passenger sits behind the driver to keep the car narrow. The car has a coefficient of drag of 0.16; the average car comes in around 0.30 and the Honda Insight had a Cd of 0.25. As for the engine, the concept had a one-cylinder diesel engine producing 8.5 horsepower and 13.5 foot-pounds of torque. Car says the production model will use a two-cylinder turbodiesel for a little more oomph. Doubling the number of cylinders is sure to cut fuel economy, so VW may install a diesel-hybrid drivetrain. The engine turns off at stop lights to save fuel, then automatically restarts when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal. (Update: The car reportedly has anti-lock brakes, stability control and airbags. According to Canadian Driver, "Volkswagen says the One-Liter Car is as safe as a GT sports car registered for racing. With the aid of computer crash simulations, the car was designed with built-in crash tubes, pressure sensors for airbag control and front crumple zones.") What's it gonna cost? Car quotes "one well-placed insider" who says the One-Liter could have a sticker price of anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 Euros (about $31,750 to $47,622). That's a lot of money. But then, the One-Liter, despite its diminutive size, is a lot of car. Note/Update: Turns out the 282 mpg figure refers to Imperial gallons; the proper figure when converted to U.S. gallons is 235 mpg.

Here are some photos of the upcoming Lamborghini Murcielago replacement, once referred to as the Jota and possibly to be called the Aventador LP700-4, that were released by Lamborghini but have made the rounds on the Internet as spy photos. The Lambo here is still heavily undercover but the shape of the vehicle appears more discernible in these up-close shots. The Murcielago successor seems up to the task of carrying the Lambo mantle. Lamborghini is still being tight-lipped about certain details of the car, such as the name, even as it lets journalists test drive the vehicle and Lambo's boss has already started shopping the vehicle around to selected customers. The next flagship Lamborghini will come with a new 6.5 liter V12 producing 515 kW (700 PS / 690 bhp) and 690 Nm (509 lb-ft) of torque coupled to a 7-speed single clutch gearbox with independent shifting rods (ISR). It will be extremely lightweight and have a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds with a top speed of around 350 km/h (217 mph). Source: Lamborghini via Inside Line

in abt 25 days or so we will have the 1st F1 race of the calendar! much has been said about this year's design of the F1 cars and most of it is either neutral to negative comments as you will see, the 2009 car design is very different from the previous seasons in bid to have more overtaking during races, and making it more exciting for everyone... some say it will work, some wonder out loud how a bunch 'ugly' cars can entice more to watch F1... anyhow, beside Scuderia Toro Rosso and Brawn's Racing (former Honda F1) all the teams had unveiled their cars and here they are P.S. one of the pic is interesting as it is 'edited' by someone with a 'evil sense of humour' but a good one
