The Aston Martin Vantage GT4 was unleashed on the racing world two years ago, but has already won hearts and trophies: wins in the GT4 class at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the Spa 24 hours and the Dubai 24 Hours, as well as the European GT4 Cup to name just four. The Anglo firm has made subtle changes to the 2011 model, with a little help from German firm Bosch and with lessons learned from its own Vantage V12 road car.The 4.7-liter V8 has been remapped to produce more horsepower and torque, and the body gets aero cues from its V12 sibling, providing greater downforce and improved aerodynamics: a new splitter up front and diffuser out back, plus a larger integrated decklid spoiler. Keeping it all planted will be an optional ABS and traction control system developed by Bosch.There have been 80 of the current GT4 built and sold to privateer racers, and if the wins keep coming you can expect even more of the 2011 model to find well heeled homes. No word on pricing yet, but the previous GT4 started at about 120,000, which means that you can expect to pay more for this one.
I THINK THEY GONE BE THROWING STUFF,BOOING I ACTUALLY THINK SOMEONE IS GONNA TRY AND DO SOMETHING CRAZY!!! WHATCHU THINK ? ITS GONNA BE HARD FOR THEM TO KEEP THE SIGNS OUT I CANT WAIT FOR THIS Have you heard? LeBron is returning to Cleveland on December 2. Well, the Cavaliers organization has heard. And they are expecting trouble. So they’ve gone ahead and taken some precautions, like banning anti-LeBron James apparel. We wonder if Dan Gilbert – who has made no bones about what he thinks of LeBron – will be allowed in the building. Just which jerseys will be t-shirts non grata? Well, apparently the organization has done research on the, and we quote, “various crude and offensive James T-shirts in circulation locally, and officials will be stationed at entrances to make sure no fans enter with such shirts or signs that disrespect James or his family members.” So, good luck with that, Cleveland. But how far will the ban go? Obviously, shirts with curses and ones that say off-color things about James are no-nos. But what about more subtle slights? Are they unwelcome too?
YALL KNOW WE GONNA HAVE A BALL AT THIS IF YOU IN THE A MAKE YOUR WAY
IM LOVING THESE LADIES Versace Patent & Suede Boots Versace is all about sex appeal. Their clothes are created in such a way that they wrap around a woman’s body and enhance everything. It’s difficult not to notice a woman wearing a Versace vixen dress. And the same can be said of their shoes. Take a gander at Versace’s High Heeled Boots ($1088). Styled in suede, navy patent leather straps run across the vamp and toe box with golden studs and grommets that nicely break up a sea of purplish blue. There’s slight ruching at the top making for a subtle accent if worn with jeans or skinny cords tucked in. Additionally, Versace’s High Heeled Boots have an almond shaped toe, which always seem to make your feet look smaller

DAMN!!!!!!! SAN DIEGO (Nov. 26) — A sophisticated cross-border tunnel equipped with a rail system, ventilation and fluorescent lighting has been shut down by U.S. and Mexican officials – the second discovery of a major underground drug passage in San Diego this month, authorities said Friday. The tunnel found Thursday is 2,200 feet long – more than seven football fields – and runs from the kitchen of a home in Tijuana, Mexico, to two warehouses in San Diego’s Otay Mesa industrial district, said Mike Unzueta, head of investigations at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Diego.

In Mexico, the tunnel’s cinderblock-lined entry dropped 80 to 90 feet to a wood-lined floor, Unzueta said. From the U.S. side, there was a stairway leading to a room about 50 feet underground that was full of marijuana.“It’s a lot like how the ancient Egyptians buried the kings and queens,” Unzueta said.Authorities seized more than 20 tons of marijuana.Unzueta said the tunnel discovered Thursday and another found in early November are believed to be the work of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, headed by that country’s most-wanted drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.“We think ultimately they are controlled by the same overall cartel but that the tunnels were being managed and run independently by different cells operating within the same organization,” Unzueta said.The passage found Thursday is one of the most advanced to date, with an entry shaft in Mexico lined with cinderblocks and a rail system for drugs to be carried on a small cart, Unzueta said.Three men were arrested in the United States, and the Mexican military raided a ranch in Mexico and made five arrests in connection with the tunnel, authorities said.U.S. authorities have discovered more than 125 clandestine tunnels along the Mexican border since the early 1990s, though many were crude and incomplete.U.S. authorities do not know how long the latest tunnel was operating. Unzueta said investigators began to look into several warehouses in June on a tip that emerged from a large bust of marijuana, cocaine and methamphetamine by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.U.S. authorities followed a trailer from one of the warehouses to a Border Patrol checkpoint in Temecula, where they seized 27,600 pounds of marijuana. The driver, whose name was not released, was arrested, along with two others who went to a residence in suburban El Cajon that had $13,500 cash inside.“That (trailer) was literally filled top to bottom, front to back,” Unzueta said. “There wasn’t any room for anything else in that tractor-trailer but air.”Three tons of marijuana were found in a “subterranean room” and elsewhere in the tunnel on the U.S. side, authorities said. Mexican officials seized four tons of pot at a ranch in northern Mexico, bringing the total haul to more than 20 tons.The discovery of the cross-border tunnel earlier this month marked one of the largest marijuana seizures in the United States, with agents confiscating 20 tons of marijuana they said was smuggled through the underground passage. One of the warehouses involved in the tunnel discovered Thursday is only a half-block away.Several sophisticated tunnels have ended in San Diego warehouses. ICE began meeting with landowners last month to warn them about leasing space to tunnel builders.“These owners of warehouses, they need to know their customers, they need to know who’s in there leasing these things,” Unzueta said.
