Well I have the time to put up the Articles page, with my article on snow tires and my review on the Titan Winch's root-top tent. Unfortunately I haven't been feeling well today, and spent most of the day sleeping and resting, not having the energy to sit in front of the computer and get more pages up.
Well, here's some interesting news. Shelby SuperCars, the company that currently makes the worlds fastest production supercar, beating out the (sexy) Bugatti Veyron's title. Well, they announced that they're making a pure electric version. The specs? 1000hp and 800ft-lbs of torque, a range of 150-200 miles on a single charge, but the kicker is the recharge time of only 10 minutes. Personally, the downfall of going electric isn't it's range, but a recharge time that takes several hours. This is hopefully a step in the right direction for advancing the elctric car. If you want more details on it, check out the links below. Expect a pre-production version by mid-year.

Well, there's a new episode of Top Gear being aired tonight, and those who want (or download it) can expect another interesting episode. Apparently they're doing a double-stacked race, literally a car on top of another, around the Nurburgring. They'll also be driving Mazda's prototype Furai concept. Should be a good watch, as always!
