absolute condos

I was coming up huronontario in mississauga a week ago when I noticed the new absolute condos. Three of the buildings look like regular towers, but two have a twist in them. Looks very interesting.



coming ashore
"After seven years at sea, the Crafton Five are coming ashore, but slowly. They are in no hurry to shed the awe they feel about what they have accomplished: an 83-month, 30,000-mile circumnavigation of both the globe and the roughest years of their kids' childhoods."

fast cars
the supercars has a list of the 10 fastest cars... although SSC Ultimate Aero and Bugatti Veyron seem to trade back and forth.

Nice, but I kind of like Paul Stender's jet-powered school bus named "School Time". It's 42,000hp General Electric J-79 sent it to 367 mph.

or even better is the electric-powered '72 Datsun 1200: "White Zombie". It killed a Nissan GT-R with a 10.4-second quarter-mile pass. It'll also do 0-to-60 MPH in an estimated 1.8 seconds. Obviously the fastest street legal electric car in the world.
