 Nicola Tesla was known for his work with electrical engineering; Tesla Motors is known for their stylish electric autos.
The Tesla Roadster, which already is cruising on highways and streets, was designed specifically to allow electric car users a better performing vehicle. On average, most hybrid and electric cars take nearly 10 seconds total to accelerate from 0-60 MPH after the driver steps on the gas. The Roadster, on the other hand, goes from 0-60 MPH in 3.9 seconds flat; not bad at all for a purely electric car. Other Roadster specs include a 14,000 RPM redline and EPA rating of... Read More »

The Barracuda is outlined in a fine yellow finish that is complimented by a black arrow design on the rear. The entire auto was in mint condition already but has been touched up by professionals before it will be auctioned off.
Auctioneers believed that the car was previously owned by Elvis Aaron Presley because it had a matching title and VIN number made out to the one and only.... Read More »
 When upgrading a sound system, especially in the event you don't know audio equipment well, it can be tough to find matching equipment or high end equipment for that matter.
Some of the best places to go for audio equipment include Best Buy, EBay, Craigslist or any type of local classifieds. Just remember that if you buy second hand, you need to make sure the equipment is in working condition.
One of the best upgrades for people looking to buy a new audio receiver is installing a DVD/CD head unit. Most modern DVD ready receivers include a built-in LCD screen for watching... Read More »
