It came from nowhere! - Viper ACR's Nurburgring lap time

What the fudge?! Despite the Dodge Viper's out of production last year (but slated to return for the 2013 model year), the high-end Viper ACR wants to settle the scores at the Nurburgring Nordschleife after witnessing top record attempts by the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Porsche 911 GT2, and the Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition.

Back in 2008, the Viper ACR raced through the Nurburgring in 7:22.1 until the ACR's record got beaten by the Porsche 911 GT2 in April 2010, which was later beaten by the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition. This time, Dodge seeks revenge against those who beat the ACR's record by pitting the 2010MY Viper ACR at the Nurburgring.

Unknowingly, the 2010MY Viper ACR scored a lap time of 7:12 (tentative), which means that's faster than the Lexus LFA Nurburgring Edition's record of 7:14.64, making the 2010MY Dodge Viper ACR the 4th fastest production car at the Ring.

Sadly, Chrysler Group LLC didn't release an official statement about the ACR's Nurburgring record attempt but will these statements be true or possibly hoax?

Goin Bulilit 7th Graduation Night

Every year at Goin Bulilit, this show bid farewells to those who are not Bulilits anymore if they were going to graduate from elementary or reaching the age of 13 but that's different, graduating means you're all grown up and no longer part of Goin Bulilit anymore.

This year, Goin Bulilit bids farewell to the veteran bulilits such as Sharlene San Pedro, Nash Aguas, Nika, Aaliyah, and Noemi.

It's hard for the Goin Bulilit kids to say farewells to our veteran bulilits because they are all grown up and yes, these no-longer-kids are joining the ranks of others who left Goin Bulilit such as Kathryn Bernardo, Julia Montes, Miles Ocampo, Alfred Labatos, Hopia Legaspi, Igiboy Flores, Jane Oineza, and CJ Navato.

Don't give up kids (oh wait, you kids are no longer kids). On the bright side, you are all grown up and moved on to bigger and brighter things.

Goin Bulilit 7th Graduation Night

We would like to express our biggest sympathy to the graduates! For them, good luck and enjoy your new lives, GB graduates!

Driving Music (What is the name of the song on car commercial?) Vol. 12

HOLY SHOOT! WHAT THE FUDGE?

Those "son of a bee stings" just ransacked my blogs again! This time, it's a double! It seems my blogs been burglarized! (Hey, it's the 12th time our blogs been burglarized by car enthusiasts looking for car commercial songs). These hoodlums left me with a repetitive message of "kia optima k5 song artist", "music kia k5 commercial", and "name of song in kia optima k5 commercial".  AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

That does it. Nobody search for these! Just forget about it okay? Your queries made my head burning on fire!

Okay, to cool off my fried head, here are some of my another Driving Musics (Car Commercial Songs) for you to enjoy. Just forget about the Kia K5 commercial music okay? The BGM is too original and it cannot be released to the public. Anyone keep saying what's what should go away, get dragged by a horse, and DIE! Understood?

I cannot let a single car addict saying it.

I'll forgive you guys if you promise me not to search it again.

Let's begin...

5) S&M by Rihanna - You'll hear this from a latest Renault Samsung SM3 Korean TV commercial. Single? Sorry, Daddy on board! 아빠가 타고 있어요!

4) Harbinger by Mike Oldfield (from Music of the Spheres) - you'll hear this from the RSM ALL NEW SM7 Korean TV commercial.

3) Bonobo by Ketto - as heard from the Kia K7 Korean commercial back in 2009 and also at the Citroen C4 Picasso French commercial back in 2006

2) Tick Tock Boom by The Hives - as heard from the new Citroen C3 French TV ad back in 2009.

1) La 2CV en folie by Lefèvre Raymond (from bandes originales des gendarmes : L'intégrale) - as heard from last year's Citroen Superbonus promo commercial. This commercial has a scen from L'intégrale!

And that's for now! This segment is intended to "attack" some car enthusiasts who are looking for car commercial songs. It was intended to share some more next time if my computer got burglarized by car enthusiasts looking for car commercial songs.

Kia K5 Hybrid's Guinness World Record sets standards

2012 Kia K5 Hybrid

Gotta admit it that the Kia K5 Hybrid (Kia Optima Hybrid) has set a Guinness World Record for using just 5.5 tanks of petrol in a 14-day, 12,712km cross country trip all over the United States of America.

With Wayne Gerdes and Chris Bernius behind the wheel of the Kia K5 Hybrid, this trip achieved an amazing fuel consumption of 27.44km/L (about 64.5 miles per gallon or 3.6L/100km).

It's amazing that the Kia K5 Hybrid is the best vehicle for a very long road trip not only because it was spacious, comfortable, and fun-to-drive, but also the parallel gasoline-electric powertrain benefited the best fuel efficiency on highway driving. Now I'm sure most Koreans would go for the Kia K5 Hybrid because of its Guinness World Record that exceeds expectations.
