| | Anyone who knows Barry White knows he loves drag racing. He started out when he was around 8 years old helping his Dad and uncles work on their race cars in the garage, and playing in the pits at Lions Drag Strip. By the time he got his driver's license, he had spent more time at the drag strip than anywhere else! He and his brother Denny partnered on various cars throughout the years, with Barry wrenching and Denny driving. In the early 80's Denny moved to Washington, the local drag strip was closed and work and family life dictated a change to other pursuits. But that love of racing was always there. After years of building a successful business in the hot rod/muscle car industry, Barry was given the opportunity to go racing again. One of his customers owned a nice little ’36 So he brought it to Barry's Speed Shop for the re-do and by the time it was finished had a bad ass hot rod. |  |
 | The unfortunate part was he had just picked it up and had barely 700 miles on it when he was rear ended and the car was totaled. That was a sad day when that car came back to the shop on a rollback, so soon after doing a burn out down the street when it left! The customer retained
the car after the total, but couldn't really do anything with it, so he offered it to Barry to do 'what ever' with it. Ding..light bulb went of..let’s make a race car! Chevy 2 door sedan that he wanted "freshened up". |
So it became a shop project with the guys working on it when they could, straightening the frame, doing body work, adding a roll cage, and using parts from around the shop to put it together. When Barry's Speed Shop got the opportunity to do a TV show, the little race car got a chance to run down the drag strip with a '64 Nova gasser! After that, the car was raced a couple of times, then parked while business continued on. But the bug bit again, and this time Barry and his shop
foreman, Adam, decided to do it right. |  |
 | They had attended a PSCA race at Fontana (California Speedway) and thought it would be a great family thing to be able to go to the races and just have fun. So at first it was small changes, pull the motor and trans, clean everything, make sure it was safe, etc. But it turned into completely
changing the front end, taking the body off, grinding and painting the chassis, removing and replacing the roll cage, re-doing the interior and replacing the trans, front suspension, and converter. It's now ready for it's 3rd incarnation as a really bad ass, Barry's Speed Shop worthy drag race car! |
Pasar sedan memang kecil di tanah air, dan tentunya sudah ada beberapa merek mapan yang eksis. Karena itulah, Chevrolet Cruze dihadirkan dengan mengusung fitur-fitur yang membuat kita bakal melirik. Apa sajakah?
Tidak perlu lagi membicarakan desain tampilannya, sekali melihat semua pasti mengetahui inilah sedan khas pabrikan Amerika, apalagi dengan emblem logo ‘dasi kupu-kupu’ Chevrolet yang baru pada grill depannya.
Presiden Amerika Barack Obama pun sampai menjulukinya sebagai ‘
The Car of the Future’ atau mobil masa depan
. Apa Obama salah ya? Tertukar dengan Chevy Volt yang memang mobil listrik? Oh ternyata tidak, Obama pun membubuhkan tanda tangan dan menuliskan “The Car of The Future” di bodi Cruze.
car carSedan ini pun dirancang agar pengemudi benar-benar menikmati sensasi berkendara tanpa perlu khawatir tentang urusan keamanannya. Chevrolet memastikan, Cruze unggul dalam fitur keamanan.
Lihat saja sektor pengendali lajunya, tidak hanya dilengkapi dengan ABS yang sudah umum, Cruze juga punya Hydraulyc Brake Assist (HBA). Dengan fitur ini, selain ban tidak mengunci karena ABS, juga jarak pengereman bisa lebih pendek.
Juga fitur Collapsible pedal, dimana pedal akan patah dengan sendirinya secara otomatis ketika terjadi benturan kencang dari depan, sehingga bisa meminimalisir cedera pada kaki pengemudi.
car carPilihan airbag 4 atau 6 titik, serta sensor parkir 4 titiknya pada bumper belakang dan kaca spion yang bila terkena cahaya terlalu silau dari belakang, bisa meredup secara otomatis, tentunya memberikan rasa aman berlebih bagi pengemudi.
MORE GRINDHOUSE
Below,
Nick Dawson tells us about 11 new Grindhouse clips online. While he was posting that, I was reading some of the early word on the film.
Jeffrey Wells is mixed on the Rodriguez, but he really digs the Tarantino:
Take away the car-chase finale and the Tarantino flick is almost all sublime, groovy-chick dialogue. This is Tarantino amblin' country, all right -- a place where very cool people (i.e., '70s "street" archetypes) talk and talk and say it just right while sipping a Corona or smoking a Red Apple cigarette or eating a Big Kahuna burger. And yet
Death Proof is not, to put it mildly, concerned with notions of unity. It's a scattershot thing that's basically two short films in one. Two separate moods or tones and two separate female ensembles linked by Kurt Russell's "Stuntman Mike" character.
