      Bullz-Eye reviews the Lexus GS 450h

      August 11, 2011 /

      Lexus GS 450h.

      For some time now, hybrid cars have meant great things for the environment but terrible things for the driver. Let’s face, hybrids are boring, unless you like watching a battery charge. Fun!

      The Lexus GS 450h is a welcome departure from that paradigm. Bullz-Eye recently had a chance to drive one of these beautiful machines – here’s an excerpt from the review:

      There is no mistaking that the 2011 Lexus GS 450h 4DR Sedan is a hybrid and we welcome this technology in such an incredible car. Our test model delivered V8 power in a neatly wrapped hybrid package, delivering solid fuel efficiency. The already quiet ride of the Lexus GS is now enhanced when driving in electric mode. Choose between sport or normal driving knowing full well that the sport drive takes off like a rocket. With the 2011 Lexus GS 450h 4DR Sedan being a full hybrid, it’s capable of operating in gas-only or electric-only modes, or a combination of the two. The GS 450h was the first hybrid vehicle to enable the electric drive motor to contribute to highway performance, not just slow-speed driving. Our media car boasted a 3.5-liter, four cam, 24 valve V-6 engine with dual variable valve time and electric drive motor with Lexus Hybrid drive. You clearly don’t feel any gear shifting, mainly because of the electronically controlled continuously variable transmission with 2-speed reduction and snow mode.

      10 Methods for Removing Unwanted Body Hair from Shave magazine

      August 3, 2011 /

      Removing unwanted body hair.

      Men have been at a bit of a disadvantage since we started grooming our body hair. We just don’t know what we’re doing when it comes to removing hair below the neck. Luckily, the guys at Shave magazine have our backs. They’ve put together 10 methods for removing that unwanted body hair.

      Here’s a quick preview:

      Tweezing

      Using tweezers is ideal for getting rid of the odd stray hair anywhere on the body or for tidying up certain areas where there is not much body hair in the first place. However, tweezing can be painful, and like most forms of hair removal, ingrown hairs are a possibility. Additionally, because tweezing requires you to remove one hair at a time, it is not a worthwhile form of hair removal for those wishing to get rid of a large area of hair. Before tweezing, it is worth having a hot shower or splashing warm water over the desired area in order to open the pores of the skin and thus facilitate hair removal and reduce pain. When tweezing a hair out, pull gently in the direction of hair growth so as to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs or skin irritation.

      Threading

      Threading is actually one of the oldest methods of body hair removal and involves rolling twisted threads over hairlines to remove unwanted hair. It is a difficult technique that takes practitioners many months to perfect, so you likely won’t be doing this alone or at home. It is inexpensive, fast and slightly uncomfortable but requires a very skilled practitioner. Unfortunately, threading only works on flat surfaces and removes hair in straight lines, making it more suitable for the face and other small regions and unsuitable for larger or curved regions.

      Bullz-Eye reviews the 2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE

      August 3, 2011 /

      2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE

      Bullz-Eye recently took the 2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE out for a little test spin. The car has that beautiful mix of homage to the classic and innovation toward the future. The guys have been behind the wheel of a Challenger before – the SRT8 392 back in January – but the RallyE was a brand new experience.

      Here’s an excerpt from the review:

      The new-for-2011 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 24 -alve VVT engine featuring double-overhead camshafts (DOHC) with dual-independent cam phasers (DICP) produces 305 horsepower, which is 55 horsepower more than the previous engine. I want to make things clear that this is not the big HEMI but the power is sufficient and the 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway clearly make the 305 horsepower V6 a serious option. The 2011 Dodge Challenger’s new five-link rear-suspension design features new roll-steer geometry, allowing independent control of camber which explains the constant feeling that you are in total control of the vehicle, even when taking some tough corners. Some of the handling improvements originate from the all-new electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) system, which transmits precise road feel to the driver and improves on-center tracking and fuel economy. Bottom line is the 2011 Dodge Challenger RallyE with the Super Sport Group (SS/T) will most certainly satisfy the muscle car lover in us all.
