Paul Jr. Designs has released some new wheels through Renegade Wheels. They have a great reputation and the designs are actually pretty hot! I might consider these for my 11 Wide Glide. The release seems like a bit of a mess however as I can’t find mention of it on the Paul Jr. website and I only found the link from his Twitter account. The fun continues on the Renegade Wheels website as I can’t find them mentioned in their news or wheel listings. It looks like there are 2 wheels and an air cleaner. Chrome or black and chrome Trinity wheels or black and chrome Rapture wheels and matching air cleaner. No mention of matching pulleys? Nice design all the same. Photo and link to the wheels follows...

Eric Carr's Personal Porsche 924 for sale and new book released

Posted in Shopping by: TimothyT on: 12/03/2010 04:59 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Here's your chance to own Eric Carr's personal 924 Porsche given to him by KISS as a contract signing bonus upon joining the band in 1980. It is for sale at KissMuseum.com. As most car lovers know, these are not highly sought after, nor do they hold their value well. They were ugly and designed by Porsche for Volkswagen and intended to be their flagship coupe sports car. Due to the 73 oil crisis, Volkswagen decided to go with the Scirocco model instead and Porsche, needing a 914 replacement at the time bought the design. The car was a slug, with only 95-110 horsepower. Later on came other models including the Turbo and S models but as the reputation goes, this car was already damaged goods as a collector item goes.

New 'Audi A8 Experience' App for iPad Debuts Today at the Los Angeles Auto Show

Posted in Shopping by: TimothyT on: 11/18/2010 09:29 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Audi debuted today at the Los Angeles Auto Show an innovative App for iPad called the "Audi A8 Experience" that allows enthusiasts to experience the all new Audi A8 luxury sedan like never before. The "Audi A8 Experience" features virtual 'test drives' that allow consumers to experience safety elements, like pre sense pedestrian motion detection, and engineering features, like Audi's LED technology, engine efficiency, Audi Quattro AWD technology, demos of Audi night vision assistant, the MMI® touch pad and the 19-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. The "Audi A8 Experience" App for iPad is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.

"Shopping for a car in today's tech-savvy environment should seamlessly integrate into the way buyers shop for luxury items. With the level of technology in an Audi, a traditional walk around or test drive could not fully demonstrate the extent of the vehicle's attributes. The A8 App showcases the technology under the skin – night vision assistant, the pioneering Audi Aluminum Space Frame, and more," said Audi of America Chief Marketing Officer Scott Keogh.
