Rest in piece, Mr. Hot Wheels

We would like to express our sincere condolences to the death of Elliot Handler, the co-founder of Mattel who gave birth to Hot Wheels, the toy car collection adorned by kids of all ages because of its collection and wild sets (that has some traps, traps, and some roller-coaster like roads).

Elliot Handler (age 95) died on Thursday by a heart failure. He created Hot Wheels that made a sensation for young boys just like Barbie that attracts young girls. It even collaborated with Electronic Arts for the PSOne video game and Hot Wheels spawned cartoons of those from Acceleracers to Hot Wheels Battle Force 5.

With the death of the creator, we will surely miss him because of his extreme creations that fueled the young boys for collecting lots and lots of Hot Wheels cars. I maybe not a Hot Wheels fan but I am surely missed him. He maybe passed away but the Hot Wheels legacy lives on because boys of all ages adorned these collection.

The 2011 Honda CR-V Concept previews the 4th-generation CR-V destined to be on sale before the end of 2011. What I can see only is the front view that has the grille of the USDM Accord Crosstour. It's like a combination of Sportage R and Volvo XC60. This looks nice. If went to production, this would be the best CR-V yet!

The most powerful C-Class Coupe serving it up the AMG way!

Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series

Is the MB C63 AMG Coupe not enough? Worry no more because AMG debuted the ultimate C63 AMG Coupe loaded with extras.

Called the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe Black Series, this improved version of the C63 AMG Coupe is packed with extraordinary features that made us envy to have one because of its improved handling, improved M156 engine, improved suspension, improved aerodynamics, and the willpower to surpass against the corners of the earth; from Tsukuba, Suzuka, Catalunya, Silverstone, Laguna Seca, Sarthe, Monaco, or even the Nurburgring.

However, sales will start this January next year while sales in China and U.S. will be this March. This will take too long...

The Ultimate British Lightweight Machine - The Caterham Seven Fireblade

Escaping the businessman...

The Caterham Seven is one of the finest British sports cars ever built and it was famous for its lightweight sizing, making it fast and agile like a go-kart. However, one kind of Caterham Seven only exists in the world of Gran Turismo. Go ahead, when you Google search the term "Caterham Seven Fireblade", chances are that the Caterham Fireblade only exists in the Gran Turismo franchise. I wonder if there is one Caterham Fireblade exist in real life? Are there any owners of this mysterious Caterham Seven powered by a Honda Fireblade engine?

The Fireblade storms the Top Gear Test Track

The Caterham Seven Fireblade is powered by a 900cc inline 4 cylinder engine sourced from the Honda Fireblade motorcycle, providing a power output of 138HP, torque of 87ft-lb, and weighs 369kg. Because of such lightness, many people who owned the Caterham Fireblade can max it out to the limit. It can either be 207HP (fully tuned with Stage 3 Turbo) or 237HP (fully tuned with Supercharger) respectively. Before participating in the British Lightweights at the Seasonal Events section, they want to tone the fully tuned Caterham Fireblade down a little to match the required 550PP limit. Let's just say um, increasing the weight a little.

Along came a Black Fireblade

Even with the monster hiding inside the Fireblade's lightweight body, there is a heavy disadvantage. The Caterham Fireblade is somewhat not good at straight lines because it can be easily overtaken by such heavyweight exotics, especially the rare Nissan R390 GT1 Road Car but despite that, the Fireblade loves corners especially when it gets carried away. Judging by its lightweight size, the Caterham Fireblade is the ultimate British lightweight machine. Finding it on the Used Car dealer sounds tough but once you saw one and had enough money, well, it's up to you.

Junk Art Robot

Art Throb's Junk Art Robot

Guess what? The Art Throb (John Prats) taught us how to make a "Junk Art Robot" with the use of 4 empty soda cans, 2 noodle cups, coffee cup, two styro cups, set of chopsticks, plastic spoon and fork and the most important, the glue gun. One advice is to make quick use of the glue gun.

Hey, guess what? Ryan Bang taught us another Korean words that sound like Tagalog words in another Kore-Pino! First off, the Korean word of White or Puti is Hayan, and Hayan is the Tagalog word for there! The Korean word for Doon or There is Chog-ee. Chog-ee sounds like Tsugi which means dead.

Ford Taurus in Andalusia...

Ford Taurus in Andalusia

The question is, what does the sixth-generation Ford Taurus doing in the movie titled Andalusia: Megami no Hofuku, which stars Yuji Oda, Meisa Kuroki, and Hideaki Ito?

Besides, the Ford Taurus is not available in Europe because the Ford Mondeo takes place. What's this car doing here? I don't know...

We could just scratch our heads wondering how did the sixth-generation Ford Taurus made an appearance on Andalusia: Megami no Hofuku. That movie was shot entirely from France to Spain, regarding the latest case for Diplomat Kosaku Kuroda, played by Yuji Oda. What asked is, how did the Ford Taurus landed on that Japanese movie shot entirely from Europe?

For those who watched Andalusia Megami no Hofuku, how did that happened?
