A Good Reason to Pimp a Car

Filed under: Uncategorized - BigPimple @ 9:20 am

My mother said there is always good in everything that happens. Well, unless you died of course, but if your car meets an accident is perhaps one of the most tormenting experience you could ever have.  You will be dealing with your car insurance company, police and everything in connection with your car. The saddest part is when you get to have all the car parts replaced like the bumper, autometer and a lot more. But if you are a big time football player like Lance Briggs, replacing these car parts may not be a good choice. Of course, if you can afford a revamp, why not, right?

The 350,000, worth Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster owned by Briggs met an accident on the highway late Sunday after he made some action for the National Football League. The football star did not abandon the scene  — take a look at that Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Roadster worth that much, do you think someone will abandon a car like that? Imagine a car with more than 500 horsepower reaching to a maximum of 640 horsepower on a V12 engine part. It’s like a monster running on the road right? And get that 62 mph in 3.4 seconds as its speed which is the fastest car you could ever buy. No one will definitely be stupid enough to leave it in the accident scene right?

So instead of abandoning the vehicle, Briggs decided to have it pimped to a cost of $150,000. According to the shop where he brought the car, “The body panels are cracked all around, the radiator popped out and there’s heavy, heavy suspension damage.”

Now look at the new car, the shop is so proud to call it a hand made car.

Here Comes the iCar

Everyone went nuts over iPod when it was first released by Apple back in 2001. Years after Apple released the different versions of its iPod. Say, iPod Nano, iPod Shuffle, iPod Video and many more including its accessories. Apple never stopped developing new technology that earlier this year, they released the iPhone also a new phone that has it all.

But it seems like they are not yet done doing easier to navigate gadgets. I asked myself, what is there to come from Apple? Well, I wasn’t surprised finding about the news that the company is now looking to develop a new "iCar", with the help of erstwhile carmaker, Volkswagen.

It was actually planned for years that the electronic gadgets maker will make a car. It may seem to be a joke to many but in Germany, the Chief Executive Officer of Volkswagen Martin Winterkorn has been reportedly seen talking to the Chief Executive Officer of Apple Steve Jobs.

We may have to wait for some more information about this. The iPod afterall, took several years before being released. Maybe the company is making it sure that the product they made is of quality and excellence. Just like the car part ansa exhaust made by Volkswagen. If ever they are making it, the new iCar will be an icon. Imagine the iPhone which was made to almost have it all in one gadget. I guess the iCar also applies the same.

I wish this thing is pushed through. So I don’t have to get iPod and iPhone which are all availbel on the iCar. Well, I hope so.
