Maybach62 is No.4 most expensive cars in 2005, according to Forbes. What I like most about this car is its “gigantic” look that makes one feel powerful in it.

It’s name returned in 2002 as a competitor at the very top end of the luxury car market. Developed by a new Mercedes-Benz division, it is the first car with the Maybach badge since earlier production ended during world war II.

See the innovative and comfortable fully-reclining seats in the rear,
a 600 Watt sound system with Dolby surround sound on every seat and the highly efficient four-zone climate control system with two separate air conditioners.

Just a little knowledge: The 62 designations refer to the overall length of the Maybach 62. The 62 measures at 6.17 metres. Another version, 57 measures at 5.73 metres.

Care for a Coffee?

Personally, I will not use any of those fragrance-like air freshener (especially the strong one) in my car. Born with a sensitive nose, I have found myself dizzy, nausea and nearly vomitted when happen to took a few free rides from friends who’s happen to installed with such “air refresher”. Urggh! Swear that I won’t even consider to buy one. Instead, I throw a few bunch of pandan leaves on the back seat floor mat to create some natural scent. Other than smelling like sweet dessert, I heard that it is good for preventing small insects such as roaches, not sure about it though.

Well, this is another simple DIY which makes your car smells like a nice brew of coffee. Enjoy your “cup of coffee” while you are driving…

Follow “the car” if you don’t know the way

August 22nd, 2005 at 03:09pm coolmini Category : Car Tech

Found out from engadget blog that Microsoft has filed patent on a so call “phantom car” whereby you can follow the virtual car on your windscreen to the destination. Suppose it’s another kind of GPS system which drivers do not need to follow the map-based navigation system, but instead follow the phantom car on the windscreen. You just have to tell the system where you want to go and this “car” will lead the way. Ummm… interesting hur? Wonder how this phantom car react if you happen to stop in front of the red traffic light? Will it be rather dangerous if follow “too close” to the car and simply ignored the road traffic?
