71-76 Chevy Impalas and Caprices
You know if my 1st car was a Honda or a Toyota, we may not be here today. However the 1st car that I was given the keys to and told this is yours, was a 1974 Chevy Impala 4 door. I could fit about 6-7 of my friends in that thing easy. It was the best Christmas present I have ever gotten, nothing since has been as appreciated. I got my Impala back in like 1994, long before cats was throwing 30's on them. I regret never being able to do anything with it, and now well I think some cats just go overboard with them.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda part 1
Chevy C-10 Stepside
We here at Hotcarstv have enjoyed cars, trucks, and bikes since we were small. However, while we have all owned a variety of cars and trucks, we have never been able to put together something you could call show worthy. Over the next few days, I will be spotlighting different cars and trucks that we have once owned. However, I wouldn't subject you to our failures, so I will include with each post an example of one done right. For example, my 1st vehicle was a 69 Chevy C-10 stepside. technically it was my Grandfathers and it was a rustbucket that didn't drive, but he said it was mine. I always loved this body style. The one above is a 1970 for a family in Florida, and is a perfect example of what to do right.

Cannonball Run intro
As a kid who loved cars you couldn't help but love this movie, even though the only version I ever saw was cut up to play on regular tv. I ran across the intro while playing around on youtube. To this day I have never seen the Theatrical version, but I will be making a trip to Blockbuster soon.

1998 Chevy toy box
If only you could go to where they keep all the Chevy concepts and pick one or two, what would you pick? I think I would have liked to have one of those S-10 Crew Cab Duallys. Especially with the Dually rims they make today. That would have been a problem.

VIP style
VIP style (rhymes with zip)is a trend from Japan where they take larger luxury cars and add rims and airbags. In Japan these cars have been associated with the Japanese Mafia. Me personally I don't much feel tuners, but I could get down with these.

2010 Rolls Royce Ghost
Here are some images of the 2010 Rolls Royce Ghost. I always wondered what it was like to get behind the wheel of a car with a V12 under the hood, the way I drive I'm sure its just a ticket waiting to happen.

Love for the old school
We here at Hotcarstv have much love for the old school, and while in my case that is mostly American muscle cars and Chevys, I am aware that there are in fact other cars than GM (who knew). One group of old school cars you rarely see on this site are imports. I came across this article on a group of Canadians who have a love for old school Hondas.

Solar Powered GPS for Motorcycles
This is the concept for a new solar powered GPS for motorcycles. It's the MotoMap GPS Device for Bikes. It features an E-Ink diplay so glare from the sun won't affect the visibility of the display and doesn’t use much power. The MotoMap is also solar powered.
