Forza 2 Photos-batch 1

Hello, a-Musings readers, and here are 3 Forza Motorsport 2 photos from my Xbox 360. I got these photos here by uploading them in-game, then logging in using my gamertag @ forzamotorsport.net . Note that only the five most recently uploaded photos are stored by Forza's servers. Enough talk, picture time!
Speeders beware...

Poor Gallardo Superleggera!

Fun with a Gallardo Superleggera...

More photo batches coming soon...

2008/2009 sports cars to watch out for...











Sorry for not posting earlier. Here's my top 6 future cars I am impatiently waiting for (listed in order of importance).

1. BMW M3
This speedster, now outfitted with a long-awaited V8, will retail for about $53,000. Sticker shock?
Drive the M3 virtually here.

2. Lexus IS-F
With 400+ horsepower emanating from its V8, the IS-F is the fastest Lexus ever! (It's also my favorite Lexus, second to the LS 600hL) With an aggressive body kit and sleek pearlescent blue-purple paint, this ferocious IS could be coming to my father as a courtesy rental car next time he brings his RX 300 for service...Tongue Out 13

3. Nissan GT-R
The new iteration of the famous Skyline, this car has been captured by many spy car photographers alongside a 2006 Porsche 911 Turbo, considered to be a benchmark car. This automobile already has been booked to appear in Need For Speed: ProStreet and Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

4. Subaru Impreza WRX STI
This hotly expected version of the 2008 Impreza will only be available in the ugly hatchback styleDisappointed, though is is still aggressive to the power of 10. Bristling with spoilers and hood scoops, still only little is known about the new uber-Impreza.

5. Audi TT Coupe
The best-looking TT so far, this mini-rocket is quite luxurious, like any other Audi. Beneath the more-aggressive exterior lies a 250-hp V6.

EDIT:
After a comment about this post, I have decided to add another car to this uber-quintet of sports cars: the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

6. Hyundai Genesis Coupe
The concept version of the next-gen Tiburon, this 300 hp speedster will provide thrills worthy of an Evo/STI with a price good enough to make generous parents buy their college-bound kid a Genesis Coupe, rather than the traditional used clunker.

Ethanol-Not the solution!














Sorry, a-Musings readers, for not posting on the last 2 days. I was wanting to play a few online games instead! Anyway, here's my first topic, ethanol.

Ethanol, the biofuel made from corn (in the US, in other countries they also use sugarcane) and petroleum, is better for our earth than gasoline/petrol. However, is it better than other alternatives? I think not! For starters, ethanol (or at least E85) still has gasoline in it. Also, ethanol made from corn is skyrocketing prices of nearly everything! (Corn syrup, very unhealthy, is found in almost every manufactured food product.) Here's a better use for ethanol: A stepping stone! While better alternative fuels are developed, such as electric (go Tesla Roadsterw00t!) or hydrogen, ethanol could be powering many engines.
