So, here is the new 2012 Hyundai Veloster. I will not have a review on this car coz it will still about to be released. Yesterday, I read a blog that the Veloster will be priced below $20 grand! are you kidding me! Thankfully it published erroneous information before having it confirmed. The Veloster by the way have a turbo variant for a whopping $1,600. For the real MSRP we will have to wait 24 hours for that.

Frankly speaking the Veloster is the only Hyundai line I like by the way the body angle looks, looking at the front fascia you can see the large grill that's about to swallow the car in front and at first glanced it looks like the new Audi A8. If the numbers on this Veloster is worth the price, I'll take one any day.

Anybody can drive in Uncle Sam's land

I got a close call this morning while driving. This old model silver Ford Taurus with Cali plates - 6UDM693 suddenly cut me off without even signaling. You might say he didn't noticed me. Well, how can he not notice me when I'm adjacent to him in the stoplight. I know he did that on purpose coz after a mile he did that again to another vehicle. I don't know what's his issue, maybe he wants to get to the second stoplight first or he thinks he is in NASCAR. To the driver! make sure when you do that there's no other passenger on the other party! I was with my 7yr old at that time. Damn! cali drivers! just god damn plain inconsiderate fools!

His vehicle looks similar to this.

Fiat 500 Abarth

Here's a bad news for Fiat fans specifically for the "Abarth" model. They are SOLD OUT! info here
My take on this is, why would they limit the production to just 3,000? to make it exclusive? Nah, anyhow I'd rather stick to the Mini Cooper specifically the "JCW (John Cooper Works) edition". Boom! and your abarth eats my dust!

A target for the bull

In a recent article by Top Gear Philippines on the Lamborghini President and CEO Stephan Winkelmann visiting the country, In his speech, Winkelmann revealed that the Italian carmaker's sales target for the Philippines is 15 units a year.

Hell yeah that can be achieved if the corrupt politicians will order a pair each, it may even surpass Winkelmann's projected target. If your not familiar with the Philippine government, we do have some or the worst CORRUPT politicians. I know that every country have their  corrupt politicians but in the Philippines they are doing it upfront.

So to answer Lamborghini's sales target, is a big Y E S! yes you can achieve the target for 15 units a year.

A guy named Lewis Hamilton

I'm humbled by watching the video. It seems that nobody from my countryman noticed who this guy was or they just didn't publicly announced it but anyway to Lewis your just not a great driver but a great man. May God give you more or even ten folds of what you have done to the street children in Manila.

Cas grave d'une moustache

Here's a serious case of a moustache. Are they somewhat related to pink panther? you decide :P

If you didn't recognize him I'm sure you will in here and the girls won't mind if he wants to grow back his killer moustache upon reading how much his net worth is.

A MUST upgrade for the Forester

Sadly my Forester didn't came with a factory fog light kit it would have save me some benjamin's. I really think that a fog kit is the first necessary upgrade for your Forester. Here are a couple reasons. First, the Forester came pre-wired. Second, the kit comes with the stalk for the fog kit that's why it's called "kit". Third, it's an easy diy (do it yourself) job with no need to remove the front bumper and lastly, it can make your Forester look complete frontage wise (see picture). Don't mind the sports grill on the picture, that's next on my list after the fog kit.

I'll have some diy write up for the fog kit as soon as I bought one.
