Mercedes Benz Concept Car
July 17, 2006
I was surfing the net the other day looking for what the new Mercedes Benz concept cars might look like. I found a bunch of concept cars that looked “typical”, but one caught my eye. Now, I havent found anything from Mercedes Benz on this car, so I dont know how real it is, but it’s a cool looking car.
The most amazing feature of this concept car is the cockpit and lack of a steering wheel. Safety advocates have long wanted to get rid of the steering wheel because of its damaging effects in an accident. I also found the symmetry of the cockpit controls to be odd, but after reflection perhaps it makes good sense. There would be no need for different side steering wheel versions.
Be sure to view all the pics of this Mercedes Benz Concept Car.
Why Gas is So Expensive

I think I have figured out why gas is so expensive these days! Check out the images below from an engineering masterpiece in the Middle Eastern country of Dubai.
Here it is during the construction phase:

Here is the completed construction effort. Did you notice the palm trees? By the way, remember Dubai is in the middle of the desert. Daily temperatures there can get to 120 degrees.

And now for the inside views…



I think this helps explain the rising price of gas. On the other hand, one of these might be handy in the Tucson area.
