In Looking Cars Modification

Modifying your car has been a popular pastime for many years. By modifying your car you are able to put your own unique personal touches on the vehicle to make it stand out from the rest. There are many cosmetic modifications that don't make the car run any different, but then that's not the point 90 percent of the time! More often car modification is done just to make your car look better or give it a more aggressive race like appearance. These types of modification are simple and will make your car stand out from the rest with very little work. As for the cost of car modifications, that is an altogether different story. Parts are freely available off the shelf from companies such as Spareco, Koni and Spax. For example you can buy Spax suspension, Janspeed exhausts, Momo rims and steering wheels, body kits, light alloy pedals, leather or led lit gear knobs, Corbeau race seats and even race harnesses.

A Car Show in Paris That Oozes Charm

PARIS — There’s a scene in the movie “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” where Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones is tied to a chair when the turncoat femme fatale plants a kiss on his lips and says “that’s how we say goodbye in Austria.” A thug then walks up to him and socks him in the nose, saying, “und zat’s how vee zay goodbye in Germany!” Dr. Jones shakes off the punch and remarks: “I like the Austrian way better.”

I’m beginning to think I like the French way of car shows better. While I’ve never gotten a punch in the nose (or a kiss for that matter) at an American car show, I have trudged miles through mud and rain, gotten sunburned and bug bitten and eaten things, like fried Twinkies, at these shows that would make a cardiologist wince.

While making my way through the 34th annual Retromobile car show — which runs from Feb. 6 to 15 here at the Porte de Versailles — I stopped to enjoy a plate of cheese and a glass of Champagne. Others around me were eating bowls of mussels in a white wine, butter and garlic sauce and fries. While perhaps not any more heart healthy than fried Twinkies, you have to hand it to the French, it did have more style.

In addition to the food, there were some cars, too, with some 300 exhibitors. Many of the displays were from various French vintage-car clubs. As one would expect, the homeboys were out in force. Outside of France, one rarely sees many Simcas, Panhards, Peugeots, Renaults and Citroëns. Given the fish-like appearance and modest performance of many of these cars, it isn’t difficult to understand why. Nevertheless, there were multiple stands of these great French marques. Perhaps the most interesting was the Alpine display.

(Rachel Sass for The New York Times)

Alpine was a Renault-based French sports car that was successful in racing and rallying in the 1960s and ‘70s. Alpine’s most famous car, the A110, was often called a French Porsche 911. In addition to entire cars, there were several vendors selling just Alpine parts. Only when I got to the parts vendors and tool and car-care sellers was I reminded of every other car show that I’ve been to.

Imagine stepping into one of the black and white photos of great European motor shows that car magazines used to print — the ones with cars on raised platforms or stands with the name of the marque on a big sign overhead. Refreshingly, many of the cars on display were unrestored or at least sympathetically restored so that they actually resembled the way the cars appeared when new rather than the better-than-new confections favored in the United States.

Bumblebee (Transformers)

Bumblebee (known as Bumble in Japan, Moscardo in Portugal Űrdongó in Hungarian, Maggiolino in Italy) is the "little brother" of the heroic or protagonistic Autobotbfaction and a masscot, constantly striving to prove himself in the eyes of the taller, stronger robots that he respects - especially his leader, Optimus Prime. So strong is this admiration toward others, he takes risks that put him in danger. Although a bit of a wise-cracker, he is a capable and reliable messenger and spy, his small size allowing him to go places that his larger commanders cannot. He is highly fuel efficient, has great visual acuity, is particularly adaptable to undersea environments and transforms into a Volkswagen Beetle. He was later reconstructed in a stronger, more mature form as Goldbug.

Bumblebee is established as the smallest of the first year Autobots, but his actual size varies greatly in the various media, ranging from the same size as other Autobot cars to barely taller than a human. His only official height was in an early issue of the Marvel comics where it is stated he is 15 feet tall.

Bumblebee's primary function in the original Transformers animated series and comics was to serve as the "young" character with whom the youthful viewing audience could identify, and he would befriend the Autobots' primary human ally - the young son of the Witwicky family(Buster in the Marvel comic - see issue #1 - and Spike in the cartoon) - to this end, a concept that persists into the 2007 live-action filim. Although a well-known character because of this, Bumblebee is quite unusual in that, unlike many other Transformers, his name has notbeen re-used and applied to unrelated characters throughout the ensuing twenty years of Transformers media, due to the loss of the trademark until recently. His role as the "young yellow character", however, has inspired other Transformers characters with the same role such as Cheetor and Hot Shot.
