2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10

One of my favorite cars today is the all new 2008 Dodge Viper Srt-10. The viper is availble in a coupe or convertible body styles. The Dodge Viper is vehicle like no other. Unlike many new cars today, the people at dodge aren't focusing on adding new technologies or creature comforts to the viper because thats not what the car is all about. Instead of creating a modern technically advanced car, dodge focused more on creating a brutally powerful raw machine. Theres no traction control at all meaning the driver is in full controll of the 600 horsepower and 560ft/ pounds of torque from the 8.4 liter v10 under the hood. With this kind of power, the Viper srt-10 is able to launch to 60mph in less than 4 seonds and keep pulling all the way to 200mph. Rather than using advanced technology to compete with rivals, the viper focuses on raw untamed power to bury the competition. It's a special kind of car that requires a special kind of driver, one who lives for the thrill of performance.

New York Auto Show

The New York Auto Show has been a tradition for my family and I for quite a while. Each year, me, my dad, my uncle, and my cousin attened the show which is held at the Jacob Javits center. The building itself itself is constucted of only metal rods and glass. It's our love for cars that brings us all together to the show. The show consists of 3 floors, one floor is passenger cars, the second is trucks and vans, and the third is accesories and parts. I find the entire event to be really interesting and exciting. I love sitting in and checking out all of the new cars that companies are showing off to the public. The exibitors that really get my attention are Dodge, Bmw, and Porsche. I really like all three of these car companies and feel that they have quite an amazing line up of automobiles such as the Dodge Viper, and Porsche 911 turbo, two cars that can hold their own against some of the best competitors in the world. There are so many cars there that everyone is sure to find something that captures their attention. From Ferraris to Mini Coopers, the New York Auto Show has everything.

The Strip

One of the many places i've always wanted to travel to is Las Vegas. Ever since seeing Vegas on tv and in movies, it's just always seemed appealing to me. Just looking at the strip lit up at night is amazing. There's flashing lights and people everwhere. The shows and resturants look like they would be very nice to attend even though everyone knows the casinos are the main attraction. After looking at some of the hotels and the extravigant lobbys and suites they offer, I'd love to just hop on a plane and spend a few night there. I'd love to go to Vegas when i turn 21 so i can take full advantage of everthing the town has to offer.

Cell Phones

I could remember when i was young, cell phones were not really popular at all. In fact it was pretty rare to see someone using one. Eventually as time went by more and more people bought cellphones and started using them. Today everyone and anyone has a cell phone. I feel that the cellphone is an essential item in anyone's life. A few months ago, i rember i misplaced my phone and didn't have a mobile phone for about a month. It was very difficult to make plans with people and stay in touch being that people usually just call each other to see what they're doing.

Upstate, New York

Today, I took a ride to my uncle's house in upstate New York. Me and my cousin have been going ever since we were younger. When we're up there, we spend most of the day riding dirtbikes and quads. When we're not riding we usually hangout by the house and look for something to do. What i really like about the country is that you're free to do almost whatever you want without anyone saying anything to you. There is so much land that you've got the space to do whatever you please. The freedom is unlimited.

People Outside the Tri-State

Last weekend I took a trip with my family to Maine. We went to attend a family member's wedding. While there, I've come to notice that the people there are much different from people who live in New York. In general, the people are more laid back then people from our state. Everything has a much slower relaxed pace. This was good in a way because it promotes a more stress free lifestyle but it is also bad in a way because it feels like your always waiting for someone to do something or something to happen. Even though the people from New York could be nasty and demanding at times, theres still no other place where i feel right at home.

Across The Universe

Today, after dinner, i decided to sit down and watch a movie. My choice for the night was "Across The Universe." This movie in my own opinion was amazing. The film itself is based on the music of "The Beatles". The setting of the moive was during the 1960s-early 70s during the time of the Vietnam War. What I thought was really cool was the fact that the characters in the movie were named after characters in songs that the Beatles played. Ex (Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds", "Hey Jude", and "Dear Prudence". Throught the movie, the cast sang countless beatles songs that every Beatles fan is sure to know.
