GPA02-09 US SecretService press release 2009 Limousine
An explosion-resistant fuel tank, remote starting of the car, pressure and temperature control of the tires, a siren or alarm, and an intercom between the exterior and interior of the car. Sometimes the inside can be sealed or over-pressured, using its own air supply, to protect against gas attacks. Civilian armored cars may have obvious armor protection, or they may be totally indistinguishable from an unarmored model.

Pretty mean
To briefly answer your question, RWD big body luxury sedans, usually the flagship model or one of the top models. In the US, its one of these following cars styled in a certain way
Infiniti Q45, M35, M45
Lexus GS300/400/460, LS400/430/460
Its very similiar to Euro styling, the cars are slammed with expensive nice fitting wheels. Its about brand whoring, no knockoffs of cheap parts. Curtains, woodgrain interior tables are some times found in the interiors.
Other big body sedans could pull off the stlye like the Sclass, 740li, Vanden Plas, A8 to name a few but just like you wouldnt call a Lexus LS460 a Euro car, you wouldnt call an A8 a vip car. It can be "vip styled" just like a LS460 can be "euro styled."
BAST SHIP
A recurring theme at Gizmag in recent times has been the growing accessibility of the recreational sports aircraft, with manufacturers offering increasingly versatile and user-friendly designs combined with falling price points. Like the , the ICON A5, which was officially unveiled last week in Los Angeles, is a case in point. Powered by a 100hp Rotax 912 ULS engine achieving an estimated maximum speed of 105 kts (120 mph) and a range of 300 nm, the amphibious, two-seat, composite carbon fiber plane features a sportscar inspired cockpit and retractable landing gear for flying off land and water, but the standout element is the folding wing design which allows the plane to be towed on the road like a speed boat and stored at home rather than paying for space at an airport.

The World's first flying hotel - The Hotelicopter
The double deck Airbus A380 has set new high standards for luxury accommodation in the air but, unless you can afford to deck out your own A380 as a private jet, the Hotelicopter concept aims to top this airborne opulence by equipping a four story converted heavy lift aircraft with 18 luxuriously-appointed room hotels. Modeled on the Soviet Mil V-12, the largest helicopter ever built, of which only two prototypes were built in the 1960s, the Hotelicopter company would like us to believe they purchased one of these prototypes in 2004 with the Hotelicopter now ready for its maiden flight in June 26th. We're not sure that we do, but we like the concept.

Boeing 797
Boeing is preparing a new 1000-passenger airplane. The new Boeing 797 with it's Blended-Wing-Body (BWB) design, was designed in Cooperation with NASA. The new airplane is a response to Airbus's A380 which can carry up to 555 passengers (in three-class configuration), and up to 853 passengers in a full economy configuration.
The 797, with a 265ft wingspan, has a 3ft longer wingspan than the A380, which has a wingspan of 262ft. The 797's BWB design has several big advantages, such as the lift-to-drag ratio, which will have a 50% increase over the A380, combined with the 25% less overall weight than the A380, the 797 is expected to have about 33% efficiency over the Airbus's A380. The BWB shape also decreases the stress on the air frame, and reduces turbulence, therefor increasing the body rigidity and efficiency. Link>>>>>

10 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time
Pagani Zonda
It is the beauty and the beast at the same time. The provocative and futuristic Zonda design is the creation of Horacio Pagani, and is a result of the intense search for aerodynamic and ergonomic aesthetics linked to the need to create a sensational and exceptional car. It is wild and raw, and surely won't leave you indifferent. It is interesting that Horacio used his wife for a model during designing this car. And actually, when looked from above, Zonda really has the figure of a supermodel.

Advantages and Disadvantages of All-Inclusive Cruise Ships
Vacationing is a pastime that is enjoyed by many. While vacations are nice, needed, and important, they can become costly. This cost is often associated with additional expenses such as food, beverages, and entertainment. If you are interested in vacationing aboard a cruise ship, but you are worried about the cost, you don’t necessarily have to be.

The Australian Defence Force is acquiring two new amphibious ships. Australian shipbuilders will build them to one of two overseas designs: Spanish "Navantia" or French "Armaris Mistral". The Navantia type has greater capacity but is at a less advanced stage of development. The decision is planned for 2007, with the first ship in in-service by 2012.

Benelli's back with a range of new models for 2006. See the real pics here first! ... Scroll down for the full story
Well, the Milan show is just around the corner, and we've just got the first images of the new bikes we'll see there. Benelli is a name many of us thought had bit the dust big time, tripped up by typically Italian financial problems. And although there were ill-founded rumours - printed in Motor Cycle News - of a link-up with TVR, Benelli is now in the hands of a Chinese firm, Qianjiang. And it's Chinese cash that has helped produce the Tornado 1130 pictured here.It's an easy upgrade - the 1130 motor was already fitted to the firm's TNT naked streetfighter, which shares chassis and frame with the Tornado. But if Benelli can produce big enough numbers, this super-torquey engine could make the difference to the 900 Tornado we've tested previously. And if Benelli can also pin down build quality and electrical issues that dogged previous models, we'll be very happy to see it. Link.......

LFN's Membership Program is designed to benefit patients who are transported by LFN under medically necessary circumstances. If a patient is a member, LFN will accept an insurance settlement (if any) as payment in full. LFN Membership benefits do not include any coverage for ground ambulance transportation associated with the flight. There is no direct charge or out-of-pocket expense to the member if flown by helicopter or fixed wing airplane under medically necessary conditions. LFN flies patients on the basis of medical need, not membership status. By becoming a LFN Member the annual membership fee pre-pays any deductibles or other portion of the flight bill not covered by insurance or Medicare. Most deductibles are $100 to $1000 depending on the insurance plan. One of the LFN Membership benefits is that the patient will not pay any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses. The membership program is especially important for persons on a fixed income who otherwise might have to absorb the portion of the bill not covered by Medicare or other commercial insurance plans. Even Medicare supplemental policies and standard health insurance policies often pay only a portion of a transport bill. Link............

New for 2009/2010
0% financing for 36 months
A new breed of small, boxy, economical and highly-functional vehicles is proliferating on American roads. It's hard to know whether they count as SUVs or wagons - they're not off-road machines. But if you're shopping for a sport ‘ute because you need cargo space, they'll meet your needs well. The Scion xB and Honda Element may have started the trend, but the Nissan Cube and Kia Soul are the next evolution of the stylish box. Even though it's designated a 2010 model, the Soul reaches Kia dealerships this month. It debuts with an MSRP under $14,000, and an interest-free financing offer to sweeten the deal. With an EPA rating of 24/30 mpg (with automatic transmission) and a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, the Soul is likely to be a frugal investment over the long haul as well. There's always some risk in buying a new model with an unknown reliability history, but this one is worth a look before you drive off in any other compact SUV. Link..........
The best cars of the year
Given unlimited choices and resources, how can a reasonable human being be expected to choose between such automotive gold standards as Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche?
This is a quandary we face each year in preparing our year-end roundup of the best cars on the market. Granted, it's a fun problem to have — but, a problem nonetheless. For determining the best of the less exotic cars, such as the wagons and minivans, we can rely on objective standards such as Consumer Reports' reliability ratings, performance figures such as horsepower and acceleration, government crash tests and recall histories. But, many of these ordinary buying concerns go out the window when one is choosing which supercar is worth $450,000. Link........
