breathing – All about car

Aston Martin has been killing it these days with its excellent new design language and exciting upcoming supercars, but what has really been setting our hearts on fire is the return of Zagato and its wild coachbuilt DBS GT.We think youll agree the car is stunning to look at, but newly released renders of the car reveal theres more beneath the beauty the cars got personality as well. Specifically in the form of an active aero grille.Weve seen active aero before, but not like this. Some 108 diamond-shaped carbon-fibre pieces right up front on the car move and shape the incoming air to suit the needs of the aerodynamic profile. When the car is off, they remain closed, but once the ignition is turned on, the entire grille flutters and opens up.There is also no rear window, which, to us, makes sense Zagato is an Italian coachbuilder, and the first rule of Italian driving is whats behind you doesnt matter. In reality, the reason theres no back window is because carbon fibre is lighter than glass. Dont fret though, a rear-facing camera captures those slower than you and displays them on the infotainment screen. Also, dont forget you get an Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato continuation car with your purchase, which has plenty of rear glass. The older Zagato should also fulfill your need for a classic straight-six sports car, with 380 horsepower and a four-speed manual transmission.Under the hood of the new car is a ferocious 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12, the only acceptable engine for a machine like this.There will only be 19 DBS GT Zagatos built, each sold for a princely 6 million pounds ($9.8 million) although that seems like a pretty good deal considering you actually get two

An old hearse in front of a crumbling warehouse.Getty People have been trying to beat the High-Occupancy Lane rules since the light-traffic stretches of pavement were introduced, conniving all sorts of wacky carpooling schemes to try and get in front of the gridlock on their commute.According to the LA Times, the latest trick tried Stateside involved counting a corpse in a casket in the back of a hearse as a passenger, even if their destination may be a little more final.Trooper Travis Smaka of the Nevada Highway Patrol apparently pulled over a black Chrysler minivan July 1 that appeared to only have one person sitting in the front, without a passenger, zipping down the HOV.Smaka asked for the drivers license and registration, and then for an explanation as to how exactly he qualified for carpool-lane use; the driver nodded and motioned to the back of the van.Oh, you have a deceased in the back? the trooper replied. He did. Then the trooper had to tell the mortuary driver that, well, corpses dont count.Yes, its a person, but theyre not in a seat and theyre not living and breathing, another trooper, Jason Buratczuk, told the Times. What if the dead were in the passenger seat? quizzed the reporter on the story. Buratczuk shot back: Then the HOV violation is the least of your concerns.HOV lane enforcement is being tightened up in Nevada, the newspaper reports, and now carries a fine of US$250; monitoring now occurs all day, not just during morning and evening rush hour.Today we stopped a local funereal home hearse in the HOV lane. The driver had the dearly departed in the back, he thought the deceased could be counted as two people. I guess we should clarify this, living, breathing people count for the HOV lane.

If your passengers are instead on their way to becoming fossil fuels themselves? Were afraid you might just have to wait in traffic with the rest of the pre-deceased.Smaka ended up letting the hearse driver off with a warning. Smakas answer when the driver insisted he had a passenger on board? Hes not with us
