S.S. Hayden Panettiere in Lush MagazineWhen did Hayden Panettiere turn into 6 foot Amazonian? The Hayden Panettiere I know and hate has giant Christmas hams for legs, but the chick in the picture has more gam than Christy fucking Turlington. If they’re gonna feed me lies like these, it really wouldn’t hurt them to try and sugarcoat them first. And by “sugarcoat” I mean “more boobs.” Really, is that really so much to ask? |
The Haunted CarsWe had this place before, the place where tens of classic cars rust under the open skies in the open field among the tall grass and it’s called museum. Now two Russian bloggers has visited this place at night and it looks even more haunted when made this way. Some say it reminds the movie theater of 1960s but if it was from the zombie movie. |
Lindsay Lohan Shows Her Bra and Ass in Purpleen I heard that Lindsay Lohan would be in a Terry Richardson photoshoot in the new issue of Purple magazine, I was pretty excited for some really hot pictures. After all, her last major shoot featured Lindsay Lohan topless in Muse magazine, and Terry Richardson is the guy that shot Miranda Kerr topless in the Pirelli Calendar. So, yeah, my expectations were set kinda high. Is it Linsday or Terry's best work? Not really. But we do have Lindsay Lohan in her bra and flashing her ass, so it'll get the job done. |

Hair That's a Fright: George Hurst and the Hairy OldsNo history of American muscle cars would be complete without at least a passing mention of George Hurst, who became one of the era's most successful aftermarket manufacturers. Hurst grew up in Pennsylvania, dropping out of school at the age of 16 to join the Navy. When he was discharged in 1954, he became very active in the drag racing scene in eastern Pennsylvania. In the mid-fifties, he and his friend Bill Campbell started a garage in Abington, where they built aftermarket engine mounts for performance cars. Although Hurst had little formal training, he had a strong intuitive grasp of automotive engineering, and he was a natural showman, with a flair for clever promotions. After some early setbacks, Hurst and Campbell formed a partnership with Ed Almquist and Jonas Anchel, the co-founders of the speed shop Anco Industries. They developed several new products, including a revised engine mount design called Adjusta-Torque and a floor-mounted shift linkage for three-speed manual transmissions. |
How The Terminator's .45 Longslide With Laser Sighting Came To BeWhile Arnie's one-handed reloads on his Winchester 1887 may make that shotgun the most iconic weapon of Terminator 2, his laser-sighted .45 Longslide was definitely king in the first. Laser sights are something you can buy in any gun shop today, but back in 1984 they were extremely rare -- and expensive. The one for the movie was custom made by SureFire, a company that specializes in tactical flashlights. Lasers at the time were helium neon, requiring a whopping 10,000 volts to power on and a constant 1,000 volts to stay bright. To manage this on a shoestring budget in the '80s the weapon had a wire running up Arnie's sleeve to a battery inside his jacket and a switch he had to activate with his other hand. Crude, but effective, and, most importantly, cheap -- SureFire representatives received only a T-shirt and some other assorted movie swag. |
BMW 1 Series M Not Coming, Look for 135is InsteadWhile some sources say a BMW 1 Series M is headed for production, the team at Inside Line continues to insist that no such car is in the cards – sort of. You see, rather than a super high performance M version, Inside Line says a to look for a 135is. The 135is would get a more powerful version of the twin-turbo N54 straight-six engine with a tighter suspension setup and likely some mild design tweaks. In the 335is, the same engine makes 320-hp and 332 ft-lbs of torque with an overboost function that will deliver short bursts of 370 ft-lbs of torque. We can imagine a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission will be optional, as will plenty of M Sport goodies. |
Before-and-After Pictures: Underwater Church ReappearsYou might call it an act of God. A severe drought in Venezuela has exposed a church—pictured in 2008 (left) and on February 21, 2010—that had been inundated when a hydroelectric dam was built in 1985. The 82-foot-tall (25-meter-tall) church and the Andean town of Potosi (see map) were flooded to establish the Uribante-Caparo water reservoir to power the plant, which is currently operating at just 7 percent of its capacity, according to the Reuters service. The church is now an ominous symbol of energy shortages in the country, which gets around 68 percent of its power from hydroelectricity, Reuters reported. The droughts spurred Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to declare an energy emergency in February. |
