Ever wondered how cars are named, what is the history behind names like “Mercedes”, “Lotus Elise”, etc. This piece might answer some of these questions.

What sports car am I

I’m a Lotus Elise!

You believe in maximum performance and minimum baggage. You like to travel light and fast, hit the corners hard, and dance like there’s no tomorrow.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes

Filed under: General — prerona @ 12:06 am

TNT network (USA) is showing a 4 week serial titled “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” based on a few short stories of Stephen King. Each episode will feature screen adaptations of two different stories. The first episode premiered today and it was pretty good. The stories enacted were “Battleground” and “Crouch End”. I had read “Battleground” earlier and was not much impressed either then or now. But “Crouch End” made up for it.
