Race-spec Atenza warming up at Daytona before ROLEX 24
The new third-generation Mazda Atenza with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY proves to be a worthy adversary for Mazda and it seems that its ready for GRAND-AM racing. When Mazda announced that they'll be making a competitor to the GRAND-AM Road Racing Rolex 24 Hour Endurance, they'll be using the 2013 Mazda Atenza (known globally as the 6) as the basis for this year's endurance race at the Daytona International Speedway - Road Course. The official Mazda USA Facebook page posted photos of a race-spec Atenza preparing for January's Rolex 24 at Daytona.

DMC tunes the Ferrari F12
 |
| DMC F12berlinetta Spia |
DMC, a German tuner, did a really good job tuning the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 supercar and now it's the turn of its lesser rival who has more power than the flagship V12 Lambo, the Ferrari F12berlinetta. As we all know, the F12berlinetta is Ferrari's flagship V12 grand tourer that some say it has more power than the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. Yeah, right. Some lucky kid tried one of these and he said it wasn't quite an alternative to the V12 Lambo that he really liked very much. Anyway, the experts at DMC are working on the tuned F12 under the name Spia and it should be ready sometime in April 2013. Aside from the eye-watering body kit, the Spia comes with the performance package that tweaks its V12 engine to 754hp (764PS) and top speed to 350km/h (218mph). A new custom-made titanium exhaust system is included. Is this thorough enough for you?

| 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Coupe and Cabriolet |
The sedan and estate models of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class minor change were revealed and now its the turn of its two-door counterparts. The coupe and the cabriolet versions of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class minor change also ditched the four separate headlamps in favor of one-piece units but unlike the sedan and estate versions, the coupe and cabriolet versions' one-piece headlamps are more sculpted and feature different twin LED graphics, the grille gets a single bar (instead of two) supporting the three-pointed star and the bumper design is more aggressive, with an inverted central air intake and enlarged outer inlets. All of these will be revealed at this year's NAIAS in Detroit.
Back in the game! Yeah
Yesterday, I finally bought a brand new laptop. It's an HP 2000-2b16NR and it comes with the latest Windows 8 OS. At first, I think this new Windows 8 might be complicating but with such practice, I think I'm starting to adapt to this new OS. This laptop cost us under 300 dollars and because of such cheapness, I got more to buy a 1TB external hard drive perfect for the $99 backup the Geek Squad employee told me. That seems good but on the downside, mama bought me an iPhone 4S with the 16GB on it. Aw geez....A previous model for a cheaper price? Never mind...
