  One of the more recent entrants onto this list effectively plugs the gap between the M4 Competition Pack and the M4 GTS. The standard M4’s 3.0-litre turbo six has been wound up to 454bhp, a rise of around 30bhp over standard (or 10bhp over the Competition). Mated exclusively to the seven-speed paddleshift gearbox – no manual here – you’ll be completing 0-62mph in a scant 3.9secs. And yes, it’s still rear-wheel drive. The top speed is curtailed by M Division’s higher, 174mph limiter. Though with a claimed 33.6mpg and 197g/km of CO2, it’s actually the greenest M4 yet, too. We can sense how much you care. The CS borrows aluminium suspension components from the Competition Package, and gets standard Adaptive M Suspension, with its own, more focused tune. The result is a 7m38s Nürburging lap time, which is as quick as a Lexus LFA, but still some six seconds off the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. That does have 503bhp from its Ferrari-tuned engine, mind. There are exclusive M4 CS...

  The 1968 Mustangs - Hollywood's Star So, maybe you've seen the movie Bullitt? Or maybe you just watch the chase scene over and over again? Yes, this is the famous Bullitt Mustang that Steven McQueen put to the test up against a...oh wait, what was that other car again? The movie Bullitt, along with Steve McQueen's expert driving skills, propelled the 1968 Mustangs to premier icon status. And for good reason, the 68 Mustangs were stylish, powerful, and as Steve McQueen proved, they handled great. Ford felt that Steve McQueen was such a powerful influence on Mustang popularity that they even resurrected him for a 2004 Ford commercial in which they introduced their new retro 2005 Mustang design. But enough about 2005, let's revisit the famous 1968 Mustangs. 1968 MUSTANG REDESIGN Ford characteristically made several trim changes with each year. What changes came with the 1968 edition? Perhaps the most obvious changes Ford made involved the side trim. While the 67 Mustangs...

  Is the Audi R8 a Good Car? Yes, the Audi R8 is a good car. All models come with a throaty V10 engine that provides hair-raising acceleration and gobs of power. The R8 has impressive handling and a smooth ride. The stylish interior provides ample head- and legroom, and the tech features are user-friendly. The main drawbacks of the R8 are its microscopic trunk, poor gas mileage, and high price tag. Should I Buy the Audi R8? You should consider the R8 if you’re looking for an eye-catching supercar and don’t care about practicality or price. Few  luxury sports cars  cost as much as this Audi, and its limited cargo space means you can’t drive it to the mall for a shopping spree.

  Overview With a lineage that stretches back to the 1950s, the  Chevrolet Corvette  is a mainstay of performance-car culture, and the current C8 model takes that tradition to a new place with a thumping V-8 mounted behind the passenger compartment and a still-affordable price tag. Performance in the supercar range and surgically precise handling make the Corvette a track day darling when equipped with the Z51 package—but its ride over rough stretches is unexpectedly smooth and its cabin is comfortable enough for daily use. Both a coupe and a convertible are offered, and the coupe has a lift-off roof panel for open-air motoring. Storage areas behind the engine and in front of the cabin offer enough cargo space for a weekend away, and its attainable price, exceptional performance, and surprising practicality make it  a 10Best winner . What's New for 2022? To celebrate the  C8.R  race car's inaugural season,  Chevrolet  is offering  a limited-e...

  The Matrix changed everything about filmmaking when it came down to visual effects. Tonnes of people walked into theatres, had their brains thrown into a knot and jaws pinned to the floor. The movie was truly a turning point for all Science Fiction films to follow. While the visuals remaining stunning till date, the depth and thought around the story and execution remains one of the most amazing concepts. Occasionally a movie comes around and makes us question our own reality, The Matrix did just that. The actors Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving play the lead roles and the brilliance was all brought together by the Wachowskis. Here is the simplified plot analysis and ending of the movie The Matrix explained, spoiler alert. The movie and its events are happening about a hundred years after this war. The entire Human race is used for power supply. Their bodies are asleep and their minds are plugged into the Matrix. The Matrix is a virtual world th...

  Imagine a stranger-in-a-strange-land revenge thriller about a wide-eyed Anglo bombshell  who gets kidnapped and abused in Taiwan by nasty, sweaty, shouting Korean gangsters and then escapes to seek justice. Then imagine this same movie starring, say, a lightning fast kick boxer who can knock a dozen opponents' teeth out before they can raise a single fist. Now imagine this same movie injected with a dose of apocalyptic science fiction, with the woman gaining strange powers as the story unfolds. Then envision midnight-movie touches mixed into the filmmaking: flash cuts of predators and prey enhancing otherwise typical scenes of plans being hatched; monologues about brain capacity and the true meaning of time coupled with psychedelic visions and wormholes and explanatory objects materializing from thin air.  That's Luc Besson's "Lucy," a thriller about an American woman who gets kidnapped into service as a drug mule bearing an experimental synthetic hormone, accid...

  Avatar In 2009 Avatar was released with a highly positive review. Watching this movie around eight times in the first year it was out I concluded that the deeper meaning of the story could be taken two different ways. In a sense it could be depicting how the European’s came and took the Indian’s land, just how the Na’vi seemed to be Native American in traditions and beliefs. The second way of viewing it could be how the humans are killing the planet and its native population just so they can get recourses and make a profit. This could be a way of saying how mankind is killing the planet. The movie could mean both of these or something completely different. I am not the best at getting meanings behind works of art or movies. The scenery during this part of the movie shows different tribes around the planet, each with their own beliefs and culture. Every village looked different from the last and even though it’s a short scene it adds more to the world and shows you just how vast a...

  When you have kids, it's often easier to socialize at friends' homes than at restaurants, malls, or movie theaters. But even at someone else's home, you'll probably have higher expectations of your child than in your own home, especially if you're visiting friends who don't have kids. A few suggestions for managing a friendly visit: Lay down the ground rules.  Explain to your child before you go that you'll expect her to keep her feet and shoes off the furniture, and that running indoors is not allowed. Reduce surprises.  It can be helpful to brief your child on what will likely happen during the visit: "Mommy, Daddy, and Mr. and Mrs. Jones will sit in the kitchen and have coffee, and you and Jane will probably play in the family room." Create distractions.  If you're visiting a home where no kids live, it's smart to bring something for your child to occupy herself with, such as books, small games, or coloring books. Know the code.  You m...
