Carlashes: Eyelashes for your car

viji2704@gmail.com — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:39:37 +0000

Your car a bit to rough and rugged for your tastes? With the help of Carlashes you can add a touch of femininity to the whip without actually having to find a girlfriend. These fake eyelashes for your car headlights are the perfect accessory for the person with no regard for themselves or their automobile. Flirt with other drivers by turning your headlight on and off, it may also alert the cops but that’s the price we pay for beauty.

Pixar’s Cars proved what most of us have known since we were little kids: the front end of a car looks a lot like a face. A company named Carlashes hopes to cash in on the whole “car as face” theme by offering big, curly headlamp eyelashes that would make Betty Boop jealous. Seriously. This aftermarket glamification is apparently available for $24.95, but that’s not all! If ridiculous eyelashes aren’t enough, you can add “Crystal Eyeliner” for an additional $19.95.

Carlashes’ e-commerce site has apparently endured some intermittent downtime due to elevated traffic levels, likely from a combination of genuinely (and inexplicably) interested window shoppers and people like us, who simply had to see it to believe it.

JVC’s New Picsio Pocket Camcorders

viji2704@gmail.com — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:32:26 +0000

JVC may seem a little behind the times when they offer up more pocket camcorders for the consumer market—after all, it’s been pretty saturated already and many smart phones actually eclipse other handheld units in quality. However, the GC-WP10 and the GC-FM2 are pretty reliable if a bit boring.

Both shoot in 1,920 X 1,080 at 30 frames per second (which isn’t bad) and both have excellent built-in image stabilization to cancel out the jerky motions amateur shooters often suffer from. Some of the cooler features include HDMI Outputs and a 3 inch touch screen LCD. You can jury rig Wi-Fi capabilities if you use EyeFi’s enable SD card (which seems like a bit much in this modern era when even TVs have Wi-Fi.)

The WP model is waterproof (hence the WP) but in order to accommodate the amateur undersea explorers, the camera sacrificed its optical zoom. The FM2 is a little more versatile with a pop-out USB. So depending on your personal needs you can choose accordingly. The price tags are pretty fair at $179.95 for the FM2 and $20 more for the WP.

The Aqua variant seems to have lost left side rear view mirror, front power windows, central locking and rear defogger to make Terra, the base variant of the Indica Vista diesel range. The Indica Vista Quadrajet Terra is available in a new mint white colour, confirming that the car is targeted towards the Taxi segment.

There are A slight central mid ridge on the bonnet is intended to give a V-shaped front but it resembles the styling of palio a product of Tata’s partner Fiat. Upon opening the bonnet you get to see the Fiat’s popular 1.3L multi jet engine name ‘Quadrajet’. The same engine is in Swift too with the name of DDiS. The c510 gearbox is also sourced from Fiat. But when the indica’s comfort and convenience combines with Fiat’s technology it could be lethal weapon against the likes of swift and i10. There are two other variants of this car apart from Quadrajet, one is Indica Vista TDI and the other being Indica Vista Safire. While Quadrajet(1.3L) and TDI(1.4L) are diesel engines while the Safire(1.2L) is a petrol engine.

Sales person over there mentioned that the mileage of the Indica vista in city is around 16kmpl and in highway it goes up to 20kmpl for Quadrajet. Absence of ABS and Airbags in the Indica vista lets down the safety features of this car. The quality, comfort and convenience the Indica vista provides are pretty commendable.
