Recently I was watching television and I happened to see that Mythbusters was coming on. I love the show, Adam and Jamie you are really lucky! Well anyway the first myth they introduced was testing Truck Bed Liner to see if it helps protect against car crashes, a dogs bite, and house explosions.
It was an amazing myth and the results were even more amazing. They left me shocked. Before this episode I didn’t even have a clue what Bed Liner was. For those of you who are like me, Bed liner is a spray that you paint on your trucks bed to prevent it from scratches and other sorts of Damage.
So there were three parts to the Myth, Testing it on a Car Crash, A dog’s bite, and a house explosion.

by Tushar on Oct.06, 2011, under Info and News, Tips N Trickz
The simplest way of describing a combustion chamber that even a 5 year old will understand is by saying that it is the place inside of an engine in which the fuel and air mixture is burned. The combustion chamber has multiply types of Chambers. Here they are,
• A Swirl Combustion Chamber – Is designed to allow the air and fuel mixture to swirl or spin, as it enters from the intake port.
• Four-Valve Combustion Chamber – uses two exhaust valves and two intake valves. The Extra valves allow for increased flow in an out of the combustion chamber. This is used more on new vehicles. Sometimes one of the intake valves is opened more than the other which allows for a swirling action on the air fuel mixture entering the chamber, which than helps reduce emissions.

Lexus to introduce bolder, more stylish vehicles
by Tushar on Sep.14, 2011, under Info and News, Lexus, Luxury cars
Everyone who has seen or has owned a Lexus ever in their lives knows that Lexus hasn’t really designed amazing vehicles for a very long time but with all the new competition Lexus too is finding it necessary to gear up and boost their style and design.
Many people agree that the entire Lexus brand is very bland looking. But that visual conservatism may be about to change: Automotive News is reporting that the Japanese juggernaut plans to change that by taking more risks and striving for more character.
Toyota Design Chief Tokuo Fukuichi tells AN that the brand in the future will build on the design language first introduced in the HS 250h and refined in the GS, but with more emphasis on the fighter jet-inspired grille. Lexus says the eye-catching grille draws from the hourglass shape of a spindle, but it’s more than just an expressive face.
