Ethel, You Are Sorely Missed

Behold, my first car, a 1971 Lincoln Continental Mark III.

Unfortunately, it never ran; because someone in it's life decided to overhaul the electrics in it and did it completely wrong. Since there is probably close to a mile of wiring in it, there was no way for me to easily fix it.

But how I miss this car. We had to sell it when me moved.

Though it's been designed with a ruler, it still has some style. Chrome, but not too much of it. Unfortunately, the headlight covers are missing from mine.

The hump at the rear is a styling cue that goes back to the original Continental. It's meant to suggest a spare rear tire, also called a continental kit.

This is the heart, a 460 cubic inch displacement(or 7.5 liter) V-8 engine.

That engine was rated at 365 horsepower, which I would say is a very conservative number. Why? Because the torque figure is at 500ft-lb. It was common in the sixties and early seventies for companies to intentionally lower their official figures for insurance purposes.

So what happened to her? We sold her to a friend, who was going to take the engine out and put it in a smaller race car. The body was going to get crushed, most likely.

That saddens me, because the body was almost perfect and it had most of the trim.

I want another one of these.

I can see it cruising down the highway, fading red sunlight glinting off the chrome, where overdrive is necessary.

The God of Style Must Punish Thee

Behold, the 1956 Dodge La Femme. It's a car that was designed to appeal directly to the American woman of the 1950s.

It's also one of the worst, most disgusting, cars that has ever been made.

The '56 Dodge is a good looking car. The La Femme edition is an exercise in bad taste. Just look at the colors. Misty Orchid for the body and Regal Orchid for the trunk, top and fins.

Chrysler products of the Fifties were known for their, relatively, restrained design. Ignore the paint, and you have a handsome hardtop coupe.

Compared to the '57 to '59 models, the rear end is fairly low key.



Yes, the interior is pink. And yes, the dashboard is made of metal. That is the only plus to this nightmare.

The seats. The front seats have two boxes, or buckets if you will, attached to the back of them. They were for the matching raincoat, rain hat and umbrella that came with the car.

There are those out there who like, even love, this car. I am not one of them. I believe that designing a car, or any product, around a stereotype is one of the worst things a company can do.

However, if you're interested, this is the site I found these pictures on. They also have more information on the car: The Dodge La Femme.

This is a car that one must drive quickly, so that one isn't seen in it. As such, overdrive is necessary.

Power, Courtesy of the Germans

This is a revamp, so lets start out with something completely outrageous to cleanse the palate, shall we?

Behold, the 2010 Brabus E V12. It's a Mercedes-Benz that went to Hell and sold its soul for more power.

The license plate has the name and "One of Ten" underneath. Having this appear in your mirror at speeds of around 230mph would be like watching a wheeled cannonball flying at you.


Even it's rear end looks angry and might eat the poor car behind it.

But, here's what really caught my eye:
It has fender skirts. That is, quite simply, awesome.

However, it's cool factor is negated by two things. One: you can tell that it's carbon fiber. That's unnecessarily showy, it should be glossy black like rest of the car. Black is cool, but large wheel covers of carbon fiber means you're trying too hard.

The second thing? Brabus calls them "Speed Spads." What the hell? It sound like corrective footwear.

Oh, and one last thing. The power I mentioned? The V12 makes 800hp and 1047ft-lb of torque.

That's enough to alter the Earth's rotation.

In other words, overdrive is necessary.

Revealed Diesel-electric powered 2009 BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept

Good news, Revealed Diesel-electric powered 2009 BMW Vision EfficientDynamics Concept

And here we have it, BMW’s secretive concept car with the radical rear tail lamps set for its Frankfurt showcase unveiled before the show – the BMW Vision EfficientDynamics. If you’ve been following the motoring scene closely you’ll remember back in early 2008 there was another concept car with the exact same name but with a much less radical body. Come to think of it the design was probably inspired by the GINA concept. 2008’s Vision EfficientDynamics Concept was built using the body of an X5 but featured a 2.0 liter twin turbodiesel (from the 123d) with 204hp mated to a 15kW electric motor.
