What girls usually prefer is a Barbie car that could make them feel comfortable while driving. Check out these top ten girly car accessories that special made for sexy girls.

Lace car seat cover – it is a must for cute girls who want to decorate their car with a theme.

Cartoon style car seat cover – for those who want to build a theme with the car, you might want to choose a favorite cartoon-style seat cover. Be it Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty, Scooby Doo, Bob Sponge, or any kind of cartoon you prefer.

Steering wheel cover – Well, this has to match with the seat cover. It has got nothing wrong to decorate a Hello Kitty seat with Spiderman steering wheel cover but doesn’t it feel likes a bit odd?

Sun Shade – It is useful and it is desirable. There are many sun shades suitable for girls including Angry Birds, Winnie-the-Pooh, Snoopy, Tomo, Hello Kitty, and others. It looks fantastic for girls’ car but it definitely looks GAY for guys’ car.

Neil Armstrong’s 1967 Corvette Sting Ray for sale – Once owned by the first man on the moon
Will you pay $250,000 for a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette that is in an ultimate “barn find” condition? If your answer is no, then we will ask again “Will you pay $250,000 for Astronaut Neil Armstrong’s 1967 Chevrolet Corvette barn find?” For collectors who are big fans of Corvette and also big fans of Armstrong may consider to buy this car if money is not an issue.

A 1967 Chevrolet Corvette is recently up for sale in eBay and the price has hit over $250,000 with 73 bids among 43 potential bidders. It was all started from ~~$100,000~~, then ~~$110,000~~, ~~$160,000~~, ~~$190,000~~, and now $250,090. The car is covered in dust and looks like never been washed for at least a decade. So, what makes this Sting Ray so unique that it could draw a substantial amount of interest from car collectors around the world?

The biggest selling point of this car is that it was once own by the first person to set foot upon the Moon, Neil Armstrong. This car was delivered to Armstrong on December 15, 1966 from Jim Rathman Chevrolet in Melbourne Florida with the intention to provide our astronaut a Corvette. According to the eBay seller, “This Corvette was bought by a NASA employee when Mr. Armstrong turned it in and was retained by the owner until I purchased the Corvette from him in February of 2012”. The seller also claims that the car has never been driven since September 1981, that’s 30 years!

From the pictures, the Corvette has some scars although it stays off road for a few decades. Four wheels wells are with damage and fender flares were added. The current owner claims that the only unoriginal parts on the car are the wheels, carburetor, water pump, and mufflers. The carburetor looks brand new under the car hood. However, with the advance internet technology we have today, it isn’t hard to source the original parts and restore it to its former glory.

Details about the car
- Car Model: 1967 Chevrolet Corvette
- VIN Number: 194377S104831
- Body Color: Blue
- Mileage: The odometer reading of the 427-engine Corvette shows 38,148 miles but it cannot be verified becuase it has stopped running since 1970s.
- Engine Power: 390 hp
- Specifications: Air-conditioning, tinted glass, electric windows, and radio. Four round taillights are in red; rectangular back-up lamps located at the center.
There are two reasons that make this car possible to fetch a price up to $300,000, one being it was once owned by the hero that first set his foot upon the moon, and another is the ultimate barn find condition. Now we are going to ask the same questions as we asked when we tell the story of the fourth oldest surviving unrestored Mini. What will you do if you stand a chance to buy this car?
1. Clean it up and just keep it in garage.
2. Not even bother to clean it. Prefer to collect it in barn find condition for another X years.
3. Source for all the missing parts and restore it to its former glory.

It’s Mini Mouse, Not Mickey Mouse!

Photo credit: Any McPhail

Well, it’s Mini Mouse from the Mini land, not the Mickey Mouse from the Disneyland. A mini lover, Andy McPhail from Taunton Somerset, United Kingdom has just posted a piece of art he did on a classic Mini few hours ago on Facebook. It catches our eyes and it is a MUST for us to share it to the world. The Mini does not have any extra large cool wheels or high horsepower engine but it has grey furry skin, a pair of large pink ears, a tail, two big white teeth, a big black nose with whiskers, and a pair of beautiful eyelash on the large, beady eyes (headlamps).

So, did you just:

A. Wow!!!
B. Shock and say “Good job!”
C. Should out loud “WTF???”
D. Say “I want one!”
E. Now that’s really stupid.
F. That’s really awesome.
G. You are just GAY!
H. Good job Andy.

Whatever your answer is, this short-Mini or better call it Mini Mouse is one of a kind. We will give double thumbs up! The art of expressing a classic Mini means you do something that no one else has done before. This customized Mini Mouse is definitely a unique one.

If you are interested to see the transformation, these are the pictures.

Rusty Mini sold at auction for £40,250

The fourth oldest surviving unrestored Mini is sold today at The Royal Airforce Museum in London. The rusty Mini fetches £40,250 which is two times more than expected. Previously, it is expected to fetch £15,000 and many opinions said that it is ridiculous. Now, the sealed price is even preposterous at forty thousand sterling pounds; that is $65,382 USD. The rusty oldest surviving Mini has definitely set a new record for “Most expensive rusty junk Mini ever” and there won’t be the second one.

According to the news from England, the unrestored Mini was bought by a private buyer from America. There are tons of rusty Minis out there which the condition could have been better than the Austin Mini Se7en De Luxe Saloon (XLL 27). But what could possibly make this one so special? It is the story behind the car and the title of the car. Oldest, unrestored, untouched, and 30 thousand miles on the clock meter are what make it one of a kind. XLL 27 is the eighth car of its type to roll off the production line in 1959. Besides, the Mini also considered “Superman” of the 1956 Suez Crisis who has saved many people from the fuel crisis.

The Austin Mini Se7en De Luxe is in non-running “barn find” condition. It is rusty, the piston probably is jammed, the brake isn’t working, and some of the wires are broken. However, the 30,041 miles on the clock are correct according to Bonhams. Sometimes, if a car is owned by famous people before, the value will boost up too, just like the 1950 Chieftain Silver Streak used by guitarist Richards before.

On April 30, there are two big things happen in the UK, one being the big football match between Manchester City and Manchester United, another being the fourth oldest Mini was sold in an auction of classic cars at the RAF Museum in Hendon.

Now the questions that float in our mind is what the new owner going to do with this Mini? Will he continue to keep this car in “barn find” condition or he will restore it to its former glory? Whatever it is, the truth is that XLL 27 fetched £40,250, nearly 100 times of its original price in 1959.
