WTC Update

 So most people remember the disaster that happen on 9/11. We all know that New York City has a scar in Lower Manhattan. For years ground zero has been a huge hole where thousands died. Today, the story is different. Two visible towers are growing, one is the One World Trade Center and the other one is the 4 World Trade Center. The One World Trade Center will be the tallest, at 1776 feet, it will reclaim the skyline of Manhattan and claim a title of the tallest building in America. There's two more towers under construction, 2 World Trade Center and the 3 World Trade Center. Unfortunately construction on them began late and they are still laying foundations on them. Also on the site, there is a couple of memorial pools, the biggest in the country. These pools have been placed exactly where the Twin Towers stood, with that; the pool will be surrounded by many trees. Right underneath that is the Museum, which will open around 2012-2013. Construction will still take at least half a decade before everything is complete. In the end these will be the towers to represent New York, America and her constant pride.

The next generation of the Malibu is out!

2013 Chevrolet Malibu
 So now its out, the next generation Malibu! This car will be out in 2012 as a 2013 model. The design itself was changed from the bottom up. The grill as I mentioned before has been influenced by the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. This will be the signature grill for the Chevys throughout the world, so expected it to be on the next generation Impala, Colorado and the all-new Sonic. The headlights have been tweaked and not redesigned completely. This does not mean that it doesn't look great, on the contrary, it looks amazing. With its leaner and longer profile the headlights create this sporty look that enhances the look of the grill. As we move along with the lines, it resembles a little bit like the current Chevy Camaro. This gives the Malibu more of a muscle car look. The sides of the car remain much like the current Chevrolet Malibu, so there is little to say. In the back, the car has a Camaro influenced taillight. On each square (there are four of them on both side) there is a contour of LED lights with a smaller white square in the middle, these white squares will be used as the flashers and back up signal lights. Unlike the Camaro, the taillights are not completely encased in the body of the car, therefore it gives the Malibu a distinctive look. As we go in the inside, like the Cruze, the standards have been pushed higher. It has a wrap around design that encases smooth blue lighting for night driving. The center piece contains a large thin touch screen. The seats are very well made, it blends with the other luxurious components of the interior. For the engine, transmission and other internal components, there is little to talk about, it is claimed to have the Epsilon platform, a successful platform in Europe for many vehicles. So throughout this year we will learn more of the internal components of the car. Now that i'm satisfied with the new Malibu, where is the next Impala?

Chevrolet has a surprise for us...

 It was surprise when the current generation of the Malibu came onto public streets a couple of years back. It was bigger looking and interesting. The headlights where new and the grill was to be set on the next generation of Chevys: including the 2011 Chevy Cruze and the 2012 Chevy Colorado. The Malibu had  strange tails lights too, they were simple to understand and made it recognizable from the sides and back. They were love it or hate it kind of taillights, just like those Caddy taillights of the late 70's and early 80's.

 Now Chevy surprised us once again by releasing a teaser trailer for the next generation Chevy Malibu set for 2012. Yes, that's right there is another generation of the Malibu coming out. It's a surprise for many reasons, first who would ever thought that the next Malibu come out while Chevrolet was teasing us with concepts like the Orlando, Spark and Sonic? Also many people expected to get a new generation of the Chevrolet Impala that has been out since 2006. Even though the 8th generation (new one) has been seen tested in 2010, many though it was just a concept, but now Chevy announced that it's serious.

 The designer claimed that the new Malibu will have slightly larger dimensions. He also explained how it will have a design inspired by the Chevrolet Camaro. So on Monday, April 18th 2011, Chevrolet will reveal the new Malibu to the world. I can't wait to see it.

Worst song in years? Hell yeah!



 So I'm pretty sure you've heard about Rebecca Black's song titled "Friday". Basically the song was about how a teenager enjoys her Fridays by partying. Despite the fact that she is too young to actually have a party like the one they showed in the music video, she still decided to make this annoying song. Worst part is that the song was basically narrating her stupid day. Example: "Got to go to the buuuuussssss stop, and I see my friends... " I was watching a review video made by kids and only the 5 year old liked it. The reason behind this? Well simply because the little girl can understand it.... The lyrics are so bad that even cavemen can understand it, also she actually sings like one, in her lyrics she says: "We we so exited, we so exited". I mean where the %#$# is the "are" in that, didn't her third grade teacher even teach her anything? Let's move on to the auto tune, yes it sound pretty cool on most singers, but when it's applied throughout the whole song, Houston we got a #$&^ing problem. Add that with a horrible voice to that and what do you get? The worst song in decades.

 Dear Rebecca Black, please STOP torturing us!!!

Art on wheels


Here is a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air
   People tend to believe that cars are just pieces of metal that takes them from one place to the other. Well they are wrong, many cars have been sold not just for transportation, but also for beauty. One fine example has been sold in 1957 throughout America and Canada. Her fins grew large and she held a lot of chrome. She also ran on a v8 engine, sometimes with fuel injection, one of the first production cars to have it. Her colours stood out in public, not only that but her looks were also stunning. Her presence on the streets made people stare. Her name was the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, one of the most iconic car of the 50's, beside the Ford Tunderbird and the Chevrolet Corvette. She was the last of the tri-chevys, a collection of cars built between 1955-1957. Chevy designers planned to change her designs for the 57 year model, but due to financial interruption and little time they decided to keep the original 55 design and to give it a face lift. So in the end, they came up with this, a piece of art on wheels.
