Eyein’ the 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible

What up homies?!? It’s been awhile since I been puttin’ some words down on this blog,yo! I was down at Miami Beach checking out them fine honeys and takin’ a breather. Y’all know how it is with a playa’s lifestyle. Once in a while you gotta kickback and let your body rest otherwise it might turn on you. I’m down with cars and all but I never wanna ride no ambulance. Believe that!

Now, I was scouting for a new gangta ride and out popped this wonderful new PT Cruiser Convertible from Chrysler. Damn, if it isn’t a fine lookin’ car. The original was tight as it is already, but this new one dawg, blows the old one away for sure! Man, gorgeousity embodied! A convertible is almost always a winner, but this one just cuts above the rest. From it distinct, original styling to its lush interior, man I’m creaming myself already. I just have to add this one to my wish list. The PT Cruiser Convertible is aimed at the ordinary fools like you and me. It’s got this cheap price tag that just suits any budget. I would even get this sweet-ass ride even if I was a millionaire. I mean, sure it wouldn’t look comfortable sitting next to super cars and sports car if it was stock. But add some phat rims to this bad boy and a whole lot of kits, gizmos and upholstery and it may even look more wicked than some fancy schmancy sports car. I could just picture driving this thing down my hood top-down and watch the pimps’ jaws drop. They’ll think I was some rich ass ‘foo from the music biz. Ha ha, what they don’t know won’t hurt them.

And it’s not the retail price that’s cheap. Average MPG on this thing is decent, which means I’ll have plenty of cash leftover to buy myself and some shorties a few rounds of “refreshments”. I’m lovin’ it already. And when it comes to performance, it’s kinda standard but so what? You already got your money’s worth by its looks alone. Don’t start hatin and tellin’ me you still got ripped off. You’re a sucka if you do. 150 horses are powering this cutie’s 2.4 liter engine. It also has a 4-speed automatic transmission. It’s a 2-door, 4 passenger convertible. Nice eh? I’ll be able to bring my homeboys along for the ride. It’s just plain cool, no doubt about it. So for you average players out there looking for a decently price ride that’s sure to catch everybody’s attention, check out the 2008 Chrysler PT Convertible. I sure as hell will. Later.

The Next Music Video Superstar

When it comes to hip hop automobile brands, few are mentioned more than Mercedez- Benz. Anybody who’s anybody in the hip hop scene has at least one or two. Even british comic Rowan Atkinson can’t keep his mitts off a Merc Mclaren F1. I’m telling you, nothing says I-made-it more than having a luxury German sports car sitting comfortable in your 10-car garage. For years, Mercedez has been a key ingredient in gangsta’ rap songs and music videos. Do you remember how much you used to cream yourself while watching your favorite rap star on TV bouncing on the latest merc on phat rims?

Players will once more have something to spend a portion of their fortune on when Mercedez-Benz releases its 2009 SL. I mean just look at the damn thing. If that doesn’t stir feelings of “love at first sight” then I don’t know what will. That streamlined exterior exudes speed like no other expensive piece of machinery will. Believe me your Rep will skyrocket if your pockets are deep enough to get one of these babies. Everything good in a car design is present. HUGE 18-inch wheels, mean-looking grill, well-designed hood, great set of lights and a flawless paint job make for one seriously desirable machine.

This bad-boy doesn’t fall short on features and performance too. As with all of its predecessors, the SL line offers great handling and enough speed to quench any speed freaks thirst. And its interior? Well, let’s just say you definitely get what you pay for. All handsomely tailored to suit any pimp’s ridged standards. Honeys will definitely have a go at each other just to be the first to get in your ride with you. Boy, no matter you butt-ugly you might be, shorties will still adore you… if you have a Mercedz-Benz 2009 SL that is.

If you don’t, well… plastic surgery might be a cheaper solution.

It’s definitely a good investment. If you’re a rap star yourself, this mean machine will look splendid next to your 15 other luxury cars. Nobody can say this honey isn’t worth its price tag. So are you looking for your next luxury coupe? Be one of the first few lucky mothers to own the 2009 Mercedez-Benz SL.

Wanna Race?

C’mon, if you had a couple of million dollars to spare (ATTN: Celebrities, oil magnates, etc) wouldn’t you make sure you had the absolute fastest car available? I mean, what’s the point of buying a car worth millions of dollars just to see some guy waving while passing you in a faster car? The comfort in buying a supercar lies is knowing that nobody in this planet, save for jet fighters and supersonic aircrafts, can beat you in a race. If that’s your thing then the Bugatti Veyron is the car for you.

In a line: head-spinning, gut-wrenching, blazingly fast. You think a car with a V8 engine is fast? Imagine a car that has 16-cylinders in 4 banks of 4 cylinders, which is roughly the equivalent of two V8s. How’s that for fast? It has over a thousand horses which require a total of 10 radiators to cool it down so it doesn’t explode. It has a mind-numbing speed of roughly about 406 km/h. I don’t think you need to worry about the po-pos, because unless they have jets as their means of transportation, there is no way in hell they could ever catch up to you. They won’t see even your plate numbers. In fact, I don’t think they’ll even notice that you passed them. This is the car’s equivalent to the flash. Do you think the folks with Japanese cars fitted with aftermarket kits too obnoxious? Challenge them to a street race and shut them up for good. Heck, should that race come true, you could reach the finish line, come back and beat your challenger again before he even gets to cross.

The styling isn’t for everybody but I really don’t think that’s the point. While others find the car’s design a bit weird and distasteful, I happen to think it’s a refreshing break from the generic supercar designs that we have become accustomed to. It’s kind of oval in a way, but there’s method to that madness. Air passes smoothly over the curves of the car, adding yet another factor to the Veyron’s top speed. Fast enough to go from 0-60 in about 2.5 seconds. There’s also not one, not two but 4 turbos. I’m not the person that gets scared easily but the thought of that honestly keeps me awake at night. It’s obvious I’ve fallen for the Veyron. In fact if I see one, I would ask it to marry me right away.

The only real problem I see with the Veyron is its fuel economy. How’s 3 miles per gallon sound? 3 miles is all you get per gallon, and that’s not saying much at all, why that’s how far you get from just one burst from the Veyron. That’s the problem I see, but I don’t think that’s really a factor to the person that’s wealthy enough to buy one. Now if you gave away the Veyron to some chap working a 9 to 5 job, he would have problems. But to the rich and famous that bought it, that will never be an issue.

But, for now, the Veyron would have to remain in my dreams and not in my garage. I’m happy with my Japanese model car fitted with aftermarket kits. I’ll let you guys know how good it is to drive an actual Bugatti Veyron in my future posts, though I’m afraid cars will be flying by then.

Can’t Wait for the 2009 Hummer H3T



Visit hummer’s official website to catch a glimpse of the absolutely friggin’ gorgeous 2009 Hummer H3T. I’m a pickup truck guy myself, but not the agricultural kind, you know what I mean? I just love a good, stylish pick-up truck that won’t be out of place parked next to high-end cars. I mean just take a look at that H3T. Will you have the heart to turn your nose up at it? If you can then you must be an oil baron or something of that nature.

Off-road or on it, I say this Hummer is certainly a keeper. A few more add-ons here and there and this baby could look absolutely phat. Chuck in a wicked sound system and it’s ready to blow everything to smithereens. It’s practical too. I mean how may SUVs out there can be turned to an instant tent? Think about it, camping out in the wilderness with your baby girl, while remaining warm and toasty inside your tent at the back of your own truck? Sounds like paradise if you ask me. Try doing that with your Escalade.

This baby has, get this, 33-inch tires that will make any road you may find yourself in, feel like driving on asphalt. Believe me, this is one bad mother. So, this car will accommodate any mood you’re in. Whether it’s a night on the club or a sleepover by the lake, this ride can do it all.

Rushing for work? Not a problem, because as big as this bad boy seems, it’s power by 242 horses under its hood. Its also has wicked suspensions for loading all the beer and party favors you care to buy for those poker nights with the guys at home.

This car’s smart too. It even has that hold-assist for better hill ascension. And in the looks department, well you know and love the old hummer designs. Hummer retained their trademark looks that we all know and love. The tried and tested formula that they employ has been so successful in the past that it would be a shame to completely re-invent the H3T’s looks.

So basically, you get an H2 that’s smarter, brawnier and looks as good as ever. I don’t know about the rest of you I’ll definitely include this car on my wishlist.

The future looks friggin' rosy

We have come a long way in car modifications since the hot rods of old. We have seen great things like 24-inch chrome dubs, hydraulics, nitrous, neon lighting, body kits, etc. You may have noticed that technology is on a rampage these days. It seems every day there are new inventions that pop out that deserve a big round of applause. With this in mind, it’s fun to think of the future for car mods.

What’s next?

I personally, have some crazy ideas that would look really wicked, though I don’t think they can be done yet. First I’d like to see a fully digital, touch-screen dashboard. Think of it as one big piece of glass that glows a cool neon glow with all of the cars essential features at your fingertips. There would be no protruding knobs and levers anymore, just one big flat surface with the tachymeter, speedometer, engine temperature gauge, GPS, etc all neatly laid out. Think of how much more leg room you have both for the driver and the font seat passenger. It’s practical and looks killer to boot.

Also, I wish they’d hurry up and build those hyfrogen-powered cars already. Think about it the most abundant substance on our planet fueling our cars. I don’t think the manufacturers of hydrogen-based fuels later on dare to price their products high. I mean, how could they? It’s not like we have to send our soldiers to Iraq just to get hydrogen. Aah.. Cheap gas… I get chills just thinking about it. Think of how much money you can save to spend on additional car accessories.

And since these are just wishful thinking anyway, I would also like to see: lifetime lasting tires, turbo on all cars, an intelligent AI that controls the car when it detects you have had a little too much to drink, a device to hide our true speed when the Po-pos take out their speed gun and finally, a self-cleaning mechanism for the car (goodbye car wash).

Hey, a guy can dream can’t he?

Painting Respect

There are virtually limitless ways of customizing a car these days. And if your into hip hop and all that, that usually means bling, bling, and more bling. You gotta put it down for your hood, reassuring them that we’re in it all the way. Make rival hoods cream themselves when they see your ride. Bring on those huge chrome 24s and you’ll get everybody’s respect. Then give your ride its voice by installing the most powerful amps and subwoofers you can lay your grubby little paws on. Then add some gigantic LCD screens, a couple of playstation 3s, and maybe just for fun, a mini bar, and watch every face in the neighborhood turn green with envy. These are just some of the ways you can trick out your ride that guarantees absolute satisfaction. This though while getting yourself respect does little for your crew and hood. There is one way of tricking out your ride that will earn you points from your crew while making a strong statement to your enemies.

Art is a very good medium of voicing out your beliefs and ideas. Remember when you used to tag your foes’ territory using a couple of cans of spray paint just so they’d know that your crew ain’t messing around? Well that same method can now be used on your car. So, instead of remaining in walls that don’t move, you can take your crew’s tag wherever you go. A lot of great artist out there will be glad to airbrush your insignia unto your car’s hood. So now you can broadcast “EZ crew forever” or “Westside till I die” everywhere. Now that’s cementing your crew’s rep.

A lot of artists have gone and put the faces of loved one that passed away. Missy Elliot’s got aliyah’s face on her hood. That’s a good way of showing her love for her deceased friend. You can borrow that idea but instead of putting someone else’s face, why not put you own so your rivals will know who they are dealing with. Put it down with your face in your meanest pose while totting a couple of AK-47s and you’ll notice that rivals scurry away as soon as they catch a glimpse of your wicked ass ride.

Now if that isn't putting it down for your hood, i don't know what is

Bentley Should Thank Rappers

Bentley recently announced that they have set a new global sales record for 2007. They reported that they have completed their best year, selling over 10,014 units worldwide. 4196 units were for North America alone. And by North America, I think this means the good, ole’ US of A, and by USA I mean rappers.

Think about it. Who are capable of buying cars priced at upwards 200,000 bucks and look good riding them? I don’t need any statistics. I KNOW that a big fat thanks is in order here. Come on Bentley. Don’t you dare go all high and mighty on the kids from the ghettos that made it big and bought your overpriced but extremely well-made cars. How much will it take? Certainly not as much as an Arnage or a Continental or even a Coupe. A little gratitude goes a long way.
