Inside Jay Leno's Garage

It' been rumored that Jay Leno was a former mechanic before he became the popular host of The Tonight Show., which lead to his obsession with cars. He has 3 garages with more than 50 cars ranging from vintage cars to modern bikes. There are 2 full-time mechanics on staff to assure all vehicles are working properly, although Leno does prefer to do everything himself.

Since being blessed with a parking spot in the NBC studios, Jay takes a different vehicle to work everyday. He refuses to have his cars become museum models, where they just sit around and collect dust.

Jay Leno does admit to not have any lust for these cars, but he states if he does see something he likes he will get it.

Your Dream Has Just Came True

Although, I really wish I can afford one of these beautiful vehicles and I presume that you do too. There still might be a chance for us to realize some of our dreams of owning one of these vehicles, by buying the minature versions of them, diecast models.

Over the summer I made 2 purchases of the excellent toy models, 1 being the 2005 Mercedes Benz CLS and the other was the 2004 Porsche Carrera GT both made by Maisto. And, I admit I am absolutely infactuated with the models and I plan to buy some more in the up coming months.

The site I made the purchases and plan to make more is at is IDcow.com.

Below is a new vehicle that is on the cover of the most recent Car and Driver magazine and the car I that I have my eyes set on getting pretty soon. Feel free to click on the link and check out the picture of it.

The Bat Mobile has Arrived

Have you ever wodner what the Bat Mobile would look like in the near future? Wonder no more...Here it is, the very sexy 2-door Maybach Exelero. Well at least that's what you would think if you saw it. Just by looking at the eyes (headlights) of this car gives this dark evil feeling. Out of all the Batmans, this is the one you do not want to &*%@ with. And, it's crazy that a lot of people do not like the new Exelero because of the look. Are the crazy??? The look is the selling point, its unique styling just begs for heard turns and I bet if seen on I-95 heads will turn.



Outside of just the look of this even more upscale Mercedes marque, under the hood has some pretty impressive things. Things such as a 700bhp twin-turbo 6.0 litre V-12, which enables the Bat Mobile to do 60mph in a little over 4 seconds. 1...2...3...4..Done! Impressive, huh? Also, it has reached speeds up to 218.3mph. However, there is some bad news this vehicle styled by German designs is only for promotional use and not for production. Fulda, German tire maker financed this car to publize the new Carat Excelero tire. But wait...There is some good news I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Geico.

A Porsche with 4 doors? It's true...

Starting in 2009 Porsche will introduce their lastest creation the 4 door Panamera, derived from the legendary Carrera Panamericana race in Mexico. This $1 billion investment will have 4 seats, 4 doors but with a body that resembles a coupe. Similar to what Mercendes Benz did with their 2006 CLS-Class, although they were the first with the 4-door coupe. The price of course will be in the six figures, ranging from $125,000 to $175,000. The company is anticipating to sell 20,000 of these cars a year.

Porsche Panamera is expected to have a 340-hp naturally aspirated engine or a 450-hp turbocharged unit, with the choice of either standard rear-wheel drive or optional four-wheel drive. There are even rumors about having a hybrid engine for the Panamera, this plan won't be announced until next month. Trademark cues include Carrera GT-type headlamps, large lateral front air intakes borrowed from the 911 Turbo, a wide tailgate la Cayenne, and a four-light boomerang greenhouse to avoid that slouchy SUV/wagon look.

This 4 door coupe has been long over due. Porsche's fourth model line the 989 was originally suppose to be the first 4 door coupe with true back seats. However these plans were canceled due to expensive development costs and limited number of potential buyers. All envidence of the prototype was destroyed and was never shown to the public. Although, some parts of the 989 remained and inspired othevehicleses such as the 911s. Here is another link to a blog talking about the release of the Panamera at Auto Blog.

Purpose Driven

The reason why I created this blog is because of a course at the University of Delaware called Information Technology Applications in Marketing with Professor Alex Brown. There isn't too many courses at a university where you can do a project and it is actually fun. And, I have to say this is one of those that actually might be pretty fun.

As I mention in the previous post this blog is dedicated to informing you with the lastest information on all luxury vehicles a starting price tag at $80,000 and at the same time satisfy my passion for automobiles. There may be some cars that range from $50-80,000 like my favorite car the 2006 Lexus GS 430.

New Blog about Luxury Cars

This blog will be about cars and suvs that have a very expensive price tag. Most cars will be $80,000 or above, though they may be a few cars that I might include that will be around the $50-60,000 range.

My dream is to make enough money one day to afford at least one if not more of these cars.

I hope you enjoy my selections. You can find some of these cars at Dupont Registry.
