$4230.36 Donated to Homes For Our Troops at American Muscle's Annual Charity Picnic

$4230.36 Donated to Homes For Our Troops at American Muscle's Annual Charity Picnic

On Saturday July 12th, 2008, American Muscle held its annual company picnic and charity fund raiser. Once again, this year's charity
foundation was Homes For Our Troops which is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to helping those with
serious disabilities and injuries.

This organization is committed to assisting those who have returned from their service to our country severely injured, and their immediate families, by raising donations of money, building materials, and
professional labor to build a new home or adapt an existing home for handicapped accessibility.

The Breakdown:

• Mustang Parts Sales Donation (5% Sales Durring The Event) - $3615.36
  
• Additional Company Donation - $500.00


• Phone Donations - $ 115.00


• Grand Total - $ 4230.36

In addition to our annual charity fundraiser, this event was also our annual company picnic! A variety of fun activities, massive food consumption of previously unthinkable proportions, and shenanigans
pursued including "American Gladiator" style jousting, expert mechanical bull riding, dunk tank dunking of boss, horseshoeing, a limbo contest 'How low can you go?', and of course the creme de la creme of
picnic activities... the office employee versus the warehouse employee TUG OF WAR!

You can check out the pictures of the American Muscle crew cutting
loose on our blog, and keep an eye out for next year's fundraiser picnic to help make it a bigger success!

Lotus introduces ‘Safe & Sound’ Hybrid

Lotus Engineering, the world renowned automotive consultancy division of Lotus, has developed technologies to synthesise external sound on electric and hybrid vehicles to counteract the growing concern these ‘quiet’ vehicles pose to pedestrians and cyclists. A simulation of a real engine sound is used on the ‘Safe & Sound’ Hybrid technology demonstrator vehicle, making it instantly recognisable that the vehicle is in motion.

BMW PAS Latest Spy Photos

Once again spy photographers have stumbled across the new 5-series-based BMW Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS), also known as V-Series or RFK, in the American desert and showing frameless doors for the first time.

In its early stages of development BMW's PAS was falsely pegged as Munich’s answer to the Mercedes R class, much in the same way the X6 was falsely pegged as a Mercedes CLS competitor. But now, these spy-shots of the PAS clearly show it’s a true fastback, allowing more headroom than in the X6 while being significantly smaller than the Mercedes R-Class. This car-like approach seen on this prototype seems better-suited to BMW’s values than a full-size van, and although these spy-photos do not reveal all of the car’s design, enthusiasts might be a bit disappointed by the car’s rational coupe like design.

The V-Series, PAS, RFK or whatever you want to call it, is expected to debut in September 2009 at IAA in Frankfurt.

The new BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo Coupe

The factor with which the new D3 Coupe is best compared to its rivals is its Power-To-Weight ratio; an equation commonly applied in motor sport. But, with heavily increased personal taxation designed to encourage energy saving and lowered emissions, the calculation is assuming wider relevance to drivers - especially those in the select niche at which this latest ALPINA is aimed.
