Hello IQ, Bye bye SMART !!!

October 6th, 2008

Toyota , the Japanese auto giant, unveiled its new City car, IQ,  at Geneva Auto Show.   The 9.8ft-long iQ has a 78.8in wheelbase and seating for 3+1 in an assymetrical configuration.   The 3+1, meaning it is capable of carrying up to three adults along with a child or luggage in comfort.   The company has designed the iQ to get a five star rating on the Euro NCAP crash test regime. Toyota hasn’t provided powertrain details yet although they have said there will be two gas and one diesel engine when it goes on sale early in 2009. No word yet on pricing or whether we will ever see this car in the U.S.

Mountain Meadows Golf Course in Pomona.

September 24th, 2008

Mountain Meadows Golf Course is an 18 hole regulation championship length golf course set in the rolling hills, flourishing trees and wildlife in north Pomona.  Mountain Meadows Golf Course is one of many good course and very affordable, and it is not too far from LA, located 28 miles east of Downtown of Los Angeles of the 10 Freeway.  The fee of $36 with golf cart is not bad at all.   You probably will spend 4-5 hours in the course.  The sceneries were spectacular and very clean including view of mountain, small air plane runway, drag strips, and LA County fair (going on right now until Sept. 28).   Once in awhile, you will see rabbits or squirrels or even deers running by.  If you’re in town and love golf, try this course out.
