Architecture Student Converts Old Bus into Comfy Mobile Home Complete with Repurposed Gym Floor
I’ve seen similar projects like this, but it’s awesome to see a student turn this into a real product. Follow Hank, the designer and owner of the bus, on his blog.

Really cool project. I’ll probably have to buy a couple of these.
Fresh Guacamole was originally commisioned by Showtime as part of its “Short Stories” series and first appeared on Showtime’s YouTube channel for a period of 1 year (March 7, 2012 – March 7, 2013).
Awesome animation. Creative and fresh. They did a great job with the animation and sound effects.
I drove a G35 several years ago, and in a nutshell, the G37 feels exactly the same. Pretty much the handling, style, and power feels identical to its predecessor. Yes, there are refinements, but the new G37 is hanging on to the same winning formula. This is a great thing if you love an even balance between luxury, performance and reliability.
Power
With 330 hp, the power is silky and linear thanks to its six cylinder naturally aspirated engine. This engine is really the star if the car. They’re still made in Japan, and they’ll last forever. On paper, the g37 goes 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds. Just to give you some context, a BMW 335i goes 0 to 60 in 4.7s. For the record, I don’t believe the G37 is all about speed, though it has some. The power is delivered linearly, so it doesn’t have a strong pull initially… but it’s smooth.
Handling
The G37 coupe doesn’t feel nimble. It feels more like a large sedan… And that’s because, in reality, it really is a sedan. While the coupe may have a more sporty aesthetic, the exterior is built on top of a mid-size sedan chassis. The G37 coupe handles fairly well, but feels more like a big car. The car feels heavy, weighed down by tons of features. While it’s RWD, I’m not sure if I’d want to take this car around corners too quickly.
Comfort
This is where the G37 really excels. When you first get in the car it feels very special. Even that old analog clock looks nice as a center console embellishment. There are so many features that make the car so comfortable—in fact, there are too many to list. Just know that a fully loaded G37 really means “fully loaded”.
Style
Design changes are small and incremental since the G35. I’d say that the exterior is fair, but the interior is awesome. Frankly, I think that the nissan Altima coupe looks the same. Which brings me to my conclusion…
Conclusion
The G37 is an all-around satisfactory sports coupe. It excels in luxury and reliability. While adequately powered, it doesn’t feel as nimble. The reality is that this car favors comfort over raw performance. That’s why I’d recommend getting the sedan version instead. It’s the same car, and becomes even more practical with 4 doors. When you combine all those strengths, you’ve got one of the best sedans in the business.
An alternative to the G37 coupe is the Nissan Altima Coupe—it looks and feels pretty much the same. It may not have all the luxury, but it’s virtually identical in spirit.
A young Chinese boy who was born with beaming blue eyes has stunned medics with his ability to see in pitch black darkness.
The footage of Nong and his strange-looking eyes originally surfaced in 2009; it got little attention at the time, but is now making a splash all over the Web. If the boy really does have a genetic mutation that confers night vision, then he would be an interesting subject for analysis by vision scientists, evolutionary biologists, and genetic engineers alike — but does he?
Pretty extraordinary mutation. I wonder if this is really true.

I went to a pretty nice car show this weekend. It featured lots of muscle cars and classics.
And of course, I have to include the euro cars…
Not to mention some pretty bad ass japanese rides…
Lovely cars and weather. I’m looking forward to Cars and Coffee this weekend.
