Story by: Tampa Sports Car Examiner – Michael Berenis

This unique paint process creates a mirror like surface that can be applied to many surfaces! Chroming cars is just one level this paint can satisfy, your imagination is the next. They also offer other paints by Imperial Surface Technologies that create unique surface types such as “Shrapnel” which emulates brushed aluminum, machine turned, and raw aluminum. These rugged appearances create a defining image on any application. For use on wood surfaces, their new paint technology “Inferno” prevents wood from burning. Exposed to the likes of a flame thrower and propane cannons, the layer of paint just smolders and does not allow the wood to burn.

These new exotic paints are an example of how amazing Hard Lifestyle’s paint technology can truly be when applied to the right project. Other paint types include heat reactive which when heat is applied it can change colors or reveal custom designs underneath, distortion which is a color shifting powder held within the paint, krinkle which produces a marble or snakeskin like finish, kashmir which emulates velvet appearance for a soft touch, and multiple types of clear coat based on your preference.

Celebrity Love

HardLifeStyle — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 21:57:32 +0000

There is no doubt that love for some celebrity exists within us all. This isn’t the traditional definition of love but rather defined by an excessive admiration for a famous person whom we will probably never meet. The use of “love” is appropriate here as we who love celebrity tend to exhibit signs of undue influence by those highly visible. Famous people, the non-elected representatives of the human race, have always held some influence over the masses. In the days before mass media, television sets and computers fame was circulated orally, carried by the gossipy nature of social beings. Today, we open our eyes and cannot avoid these people. Of course, in a developed society entertainers are necessary. We laugh and sometimes cry at a quality performance. Our memories are seared with images, movies and songs which have touched us, frightened us and stimulated us. They dramatize the political, the romantic, the good and bad. We see in them the potential for perfection of man or woman as an expression of Utopian ideals of love and success.

Yet, have we gone too far? How much influence should they have over us? Our choice of clothes, jewelry and hairstyle, our languages and ideas are often areas that we look toward celebrities to define. If you deny this then you are exceptional; the rest of us are invariably, more susceptible. Our culture has become saturated with celebrity influence. We watch their every move including who they are with and what they do. We absorb their politics and gobble up their quotes. We think about what it may be like to be that beautiful, rich and powerful. Fame is an aphrodisiac or so it seems to the unrecognized. Today we have Tom Kat (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes). Yesterday it was Jennifer (Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez). Public Interest in these people is frighteningly obsessive in nature. After all, their claim to fame is usually based on pretense or non reality. They are the constant pretenders, illusionists with screens as their canvas.

The entertainment value of a celebrity stretches beyond the screen or stage and they are wholly aware it. We are witness to carefully arranged relationships, sudden sightings in sports arenas and controversial quotes days before a new movie or show opens. They appear on your screen suddenly seemingly not to promote themselves but rather attempting to come across as natural, likable, smart and funny. Sometimes we get a glimpse into what certain celebrities are really like. Unfortunately, it is usually when they do something wrong. Drugs, infidelity and physical assaults are a few areas where celebrities have slipped in their public presentation. Mug shots and unflattering photos of famous people are the currency of entertainment news outlets. Being a celebrity has its drawback in this regard as they are monitored as closely as governmental heads of the biggest nations on earth. Alas, the power of celebrity is here with us to stay. Or is it? Can we teach our children who the chancellor of Germany is before we explain the history of Madonna? If we can’t, America will become a nation of uninformed celebrity worshipers numb to the more important realities of the world.

The 2009 Toyota Prius Review – The New Aerodynamic And Inexpensive Hybrid Car

HardLifeStyle — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 22:21:03 +0000

The Toyota Prius hybrid is the latest model of the car that accelerated the entire hybrid craze back during its initial introduction in Japan in 1997. The Toyota Prius 2009 is everything a mid-size sedan can and should be most power, responsive, accommodating, good fuel-efficient and clean burning. This sleek, steely mid-size is popular for its wonderful fuel efficiency. The Prius is also certified as a wonderful ultra low emission vehicle so, while maximizing your distance, you’re minimizing your emissions. The Toyota Prius, the first and most successful real hybrid car.

Prius 2009 is excellent road miles, but actually improves mileage while city driving. In fact, some cars are designed to handle stop and go driving, such as the Toyota Prius hybrid. Thanks to an innovative hybrid gas / electric technology. The electric motor immediately generates maximum torque for instant speeding up. When you’re engaged in low-speed driving, a light push on the accelerator will let the electric motor and batteries to do the majority of the work. At all times, braking gently and early allows the regenerating feature more time to charge the batteries. 2009 Prius also cheats the wind with its sleek shape; a flat underbelly creates fewer turbulence and as a result less drag. In what is perhaps the most impressive statistic, Prius boasts a low, sports car-like.

The 2009 Toyota Prius has compact exterior proportions and unique framework. The interior of the 2009 Prius is well laid out, and it provides exceptional spaciousness compared with other cars in its class. It has 14.4 cubic feet of cargo room, which expands with the 60/40 split-folding rear seats. The hatchback design has enough room for four adults and a multipurpose rear hatch for cargo. Seating is pleasant, but the seats themselves and much of the interior are finished in lightweight, low-priced plastics.

The 2009 Prius is also called as hybrid electric car sets the standard for environmentally friendly transport.It delivers extremely great fuel saving for a four-seat car with an automatic transmission. EPA numbers peg combined city/highway fuel economy at 46 mpg. The Prius’s hybrid system combines a 76-horsepower, 1.5-liter, four-cylinder gas engine with an electric motor for a combined highest output of 110 horsepower. The Toyota’s hybrid system allows Prius to move on one or both of its power sources to balance acceleration and fuel economy.

The new Prius 2009 has a continuously variable automatic transmission (cvt). The full-hybrid Prius can move solely on its electric motor at low speeds until the gas engine kicks in for extra power. This power transition is not as smooth as that seen in newer hybrids. ConsumerGuide.com reports a “slight shudder” on the changeover. While acceleration is pretty slow (zero to 60 mph takes 10.3 seconds, according to Edmunds.com), the electric engine produces plenty of torque, so the sole The Toyota Prius 2009 has enough quick to respond in typical city driving.

Limitations Of Electric Automobile

HardLifeStyle — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:48:15 +0000

Today most of people and manufacturers realize advantages of using electric carriage mover. Advantages like silent driving, zero pollution, reliability, simplicity and below zero cost maintenance. But unfortunately there are still some restrictions of using electric carriages widely and they are not able immediately replace all gas cars.
The main imperfection is that electric carrier can drive without recharging the accumulators about 50 miles. So when gasoline automobile needs several short fuel stops to finish the trip time, electric car needs two, three hours to recharge batteries. Even the capacitors which are recharge much faster than batteries require highly developed electrical infrastructure with a very high current. But infrastructure is being developed and using ultra capacitors can help to charge cars quickly. So this restriction will be solved in future. Of course this issue is unsuitable for long-distance driving, for many people that use automobile for driving job rechargeable time is not so important.

Other solution is standard replaceable battery pack. The battery pack can charge on the station several hours and replaced with empty for additional fee. It’s convenient for drivers and time for changing batteries is comparable with gas refuel. One limitation of this solution is great weight of accumulator pack. It weights three-four hundred kilos and large car uses several packs.
Other approaches are using high performance energy storage technology with hybrid mover. One of alternative fuel is hydrogen. But the problem is the same as for accumulators [spin] and ultra capacitors – lack of infrastructure with hydrogen pressured tanks.

But today we can see a lot of hybrid [spin] car. It is car with auxiliary motor that works on alternative fuel like diesel, hydrogen or gas. Auxiliary engine provide additional power and performance when charge of batteries is low and driver can avoid necessary to find charging station. Also when car is in traffic jam it can use electric engine to drop pollution.

The essence of principle consists in the following: gas engine runs electric generator and required quantity of electricity pass through controlling system on electric car motor and vehicle starts propulsion. Hybrid car has also accumulators but not so heavy as electric car has.
In traffic jam or during driving with low speed and motor workload electric car motor is working powered by electricity from accumulator batteries. Gas engine is not working and not consuming gas during this time. It doesn’t work during free running and long time breaking.

On highway or during huge motor workload gas mover is working only, generator linked with gas motor charge accumulator accumulators and electric motor is not working. When carriage should do critical maneuver like emergency overtaking or abrupt jerk two motors are launching. But the most time electric car parts are using – it allows save gas up to 25% comparing with conventional automobile.
