sebatical: Whitehouse.gov: Remarks by the President to the Press Pool.
Q: Mr. President, how are you?
THE PRESIDENT: I'm hungry and I'm going to order some ribs.
North American International Auto Show 2004 highlights, IMO:
Chrysler ME Four-Twelve:
Mid-engine quad-turbo 6.0L V12, designed around the engine. 850hp, 850lb-ft torque. Curb weight 2880lbs. 7-speed double-clutch trans designed for the car. Inter-gear shifts in 0.2sec. Expected top speed 248mph, 0-60 in 2.9s, 0-100 in 6.2s.
Jeep Rescue:
Designed for search&rescue, and looks nice to boot. Cummins turbodiesel, 600 lb-ft of torque. Onboard tire pressure control. AC electrical power, 3D topo mapping, under-chassis cameras, IR cameras for searches, Satellite phone, retractable four-point harnesses, exterior perimeter lighting, white LEV lighting for long distance visual search, folding rear seats, and remote control winches front and rear.
Ford brings back Shelby Cobra.
Chevy debuts new Corvette.
Mmm, want. One of each. Also, the Ford GT40. :)
Soon, dinner. 'roo lasagne! Then Tilley's for dessert. :)
