Don't Take Up Two Parking Spaces!

May 12th 2008 11:26
Parked in two spaces letter - Dear Person, I’m sorry if I put a dent in your car. I didn’t want to but, I did when I tried to park next to you. I am not leaving my information because you chose to use two spaces and I just wanted to park in one. The scratches are because I used a towel that had sand on it to try to clean the dent/ paint off. Beaches are fun. Please look your car over for the dent and scratches and each time you see them remember not to park in two spaces. Sorry!!
This is what can happen if you park double spaced! Click on the image to open a larger version and read the letter!

Dangerous Roads

February 6th 2008 05:14
You wouldn't believe the roads some vehicles around the world drive on. They are too thin, unstable and on the edge of a steep cliff.
You can find such roads in Bolivia, Siberia or Afghanistan to name a few. The pictures below are from incredibly dangerous roads in Bolivia where trucks disappearing over the edge is a common occurrence.

Nice Police Cars

November 24th 2006 04:10
Police cars are also known around the world as police cruisers, squad cars, prowlers, radio cars, panda cars, area cars, scout cars or patrol cars. In some places a police car may also be nicknamed cop cars, cherry tops or jam sandwiches.

Police departments historically have used standard-size, low-price line sedans for their vehicles which are upgraded with a police package provided by the manufacturer. These days however, police departments are experimenting with higher class vehicles. Examples of these are below. Who knows what they'll be driving next?

Car Night Vision - BMW

September 19th 2006 05:43
An advanced car safety feature that we will likely see offered more and more in the future is night vision. This is basically night vision cameras or sensors fitted to the front of the car, and a screen on the dashboard to display an enhanced image of what's in front of you. The night vision may use image enhacement, enhanced intensity, infra red, thermal imagery or a combination.

Cadillac introduced a far-infrared night vision as an option on the 2000 Deville. It sold well initially, but sales fell and the option was dropped early in the 2005 model year. Toyota Motor Company's Lexus marque was next with a night vision system in their LX470 SUV. The 2007 BMW 5 Series will also offer night vision as an option
