No more Genaddi GTX1 after August

Acquiring luxury vehicles is one thing and buying a rare collector’s piece is something very special. The collector’s item need not be an old sixties or seventies archaic piece but a designer car with the latest technology – one of the 600 pieces that would roam on the streets

throughout the globe. This is exactly what a car enthusiast can adorn his garage with only if he acts quickly before 31st August 2008. After the said deadline, Genaddi will cease to take further orders to produce its supercar GTX1.

The upgraded version of Ford GT designed by Genaddi Design is available in two editions – SEMA and non-SEMA editions. Both the editions have the same technology, design and comfort with the difference lying only in the outer finishing. The SEMA editions are painted Valencia orange with titanium silver stripes while the non-SEMA ones have a sporting flashy exterior.

Car nerds name their kids Audi, Porsche and Lexus

Ever wondered till what extent people can go to publicise their items of fascination? A couple of Kilgore has apparently named their children after three renowned car manufacturers. Yes, it is hard to believe, but the story is real. Craig and Sondra Harrington have a 6-year-old daughter by the name of Lexus. Their twin daughters born on 28th October last year have been named Porsche and Audi. I wonder what made the family choose such names for their children. Is it just owing to their immense interest in stylish and trendy cars? Whatever be the reason, living with names like these could be a tough task for the toddlers.

Tokyo Car with Fsh Tank and a Slot Machine

10

Tokyo Auto Salon is a place with many interesting cars ondisplay.
One of them has an inbuilt fish tank on one side and a slot machine on
the other. Nice car I’d say and the animal right activists may be a bit happy
as well, because the fishes get a good option for recreation. ‘Fishies love to
gamble you see.’

My Alma Mater - AIMS 'd Best!

It's been less than a year already since I left my alma mater, Asian Institute of Maritime Studies (Pasay City, Metro Manila). It was some kinda mixed emotions: joy and sadness. I am happy for I have succeeded in earning my degree, but then I am missing those times when I was still there at AIMS, busy with my studies and at the same time having fun with my classmates-friends.

Reminiscing all of those memories I had in my college years can never deny the fact that I indeed treasure every hour of my AIMS life. Keep in touch mga pare koh!

San man kayo makarating, tandaan nyo lang lagi iyong motto natin, "In every port, report!" hahaha! O baka iba na naman yan ha! Ang ibig ko lng sabihin ay wag naman makalimot!
