If you have ev er watched the movie, Cast Away, you would know that how Tom Hank spent long time on a deserted island. Here is a similar story about Adam Jones, who spent almost 9 years being trapped on a deserted island, but with the help of Google Earth, he was rescued recently! Here is how he spent 9 years there!Adam Jones set off for a journey in 2006, along with his 2 friends, starting from Liverpool, their home, to Hawaii. In between they had to cross Atlantic Ocean and the Panama Canal. As they reached in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, a monstrous storm struck their boat violently, and damaged it along with their electronic equipment. His friends went overboard while Adam was knocked by the storm unconscious for about 17 days, and he kept drifting in the ocean. Adam spent 2 weeks on his boat but he built on his own the water trapping contrivance on it, and this way he saved a lot of water whenever it rained. At first he built a makeshift shelter out of boat debris, but it was

We live in a beautiful, vast world full of wonders we have yet to discover. For most of us, the only exposure we will have to these wonders is through the shared experiences of those around us. These pictures are awe-inspiring. They remind us of how small we are, yet somehow give us a sense of connectedness and belonging. We all share the same planet. #1 The Fukang Meteorite via reddit/u/ turdmalone #2 The shadows that clouds cast over the earth from space via reddit/u/ 1Voice1Life #3 Kayaking near lava in Hawaii via reddit/u/ tek0011 #4 Thor's Well in Oregon via reddit/u/ blazik #5 Footprints from a monk who prayed in the same spot for 20 years via reddit/u/ Juankestein #6 How lighting and angles change your face via reddit/u/ pretendparades source

When you think about it, it's amazing that we as humans have adapted to driving at all. The idea that an average citizen can be trusted with a metal box capable of traveling over 100 miles an hour would boggle the minds of our ancestors, but it's taken for granted today. Yet for some people, that level of comfort can turn into something more dangerous: carelessness. Whether they're drinking, texting or just not paying attention to their surroundings, people who don't take driving seriously can threaten their own safety and that of others. So, for the next time you're wondering why there are so many PSAs about impaired or distracted driving, here are 16 reminders. 1.

Also, just in case the picture seems hypocritical, the photographer is in the back seat. via  reddit /  [deleted] 3. This isn't an abandoned van,

The SRT Barracuda is set to become either the Dodge Challenger’s replacement or its new stable mate depending on which reports you listen to, but either way the car is set to be exciting. It’ll be going up against its muscle car rivals, the Ford Mustang, and the Chevrolet Camaro. The design of the SRT Barracuda is unknown, and the above concept is only a very rough rendering pieced together from rumors. The styling may go in the retro direction and come out looking like a smaller DodgeChallenger rather than this new design. Platform The platform of the SRT Barracuda is unknown, but reports say that it could either be a shortened version of theDodge Challenger’s platform, or a new small rear-wheel drive platform that will also be used on future Afla Romeos. Suspension The suspension is mostly likely going to change, the control arms in the front may switch to a strut setup while the rear suspension will mostly likely stay multi-link with altered geometry. All in all the improvements wil

This spectacular Mustang, the “Bad Apple,” is fresh out of a painstaking, cost-no-object Pro-Touring build with over 2,400 man hours invested in the custom bodywork and outrageous PPG Money Green pearl paint alone. It is comprehensively upgraded and customized, turning the car into a jaw-dropping showpiece. It is powered by an all-aluminum, officially licensed Carroll Shelby 427 FE big block, pro-built by Jim Green’s Performance Center, built to 452cid. It is backed by a Tremec TKO-600 5-speed manual transmission driving an Eaton 9” rear end with 3.73 limited-slip. The chassis is fully framed and welded and features a custom Jim Meyer control arm front suspension and Morrison 4-bar rear, plus coilover shocks, 9” Wilwood brakes and bespoke 18” Rushford modular alloy wheels at all four corners. The custom bodywork includes raised floor/tunnel to accommodate racing style cross members and the custom driveshaft, smoothed front and rear aprons with tucked in and smoothed bumpers, re-imagin

The GT500 was basically a factory-authorized tuner Mustang created by Carroll Shelby. Introduced in 1967, the GT500 joined the GT350 on showroom floors and offered a 428-cubic-inch Police Interceptor engine with a conservatively rated 355 horsepower. Despite the larger engine, it was actually designed to be a more usable road-going vehicle than the lighter, race-ready GT350. Because of this, and its negligible premium over the GT350, the GT500 was an instant hit, just as it remains to this day.

Working on a car or something else with your son or daughter is a powerful way of boosting your relationship, since you spend your time bonding. During the working process you can learn few life lessons like determination when working on something and hard work. That was the case with George Riese and Dennis, his son who were working together on this project you can see right here. Back in 2001, George heard of a ’69 Mustang that was on sale and since it was nearby in the neighborhood he and his son went to take a close look at the vehicle. The car was in terrible condition but either way they decided to buy it knowing that it would take a lot of work to make it ready to hit the road. And just like that Dennis got his first chance to work on a car. Dennis, unlike his father didn’t have that much time to devote on the car’s restoration cause he was caught up between work, school and the restoration. So, the most of the work was left to George. As he was progressing, he replaced the wre

The “Bullitt” Mustang you see here was built by Gateway Classics for Chad McQueen (Steve McQueen’s son) in 2011, it was designed as a modern interpretation of the classic 1968 fastback used in the iconic film from the same year. The project began as an idea for the TV series “Celebrity Rides”, the producer wanted to create a car that was as visually authentic as possible but with modern updates to the powertrain and suspension. This wasn’t quite as easy as it sounds due to the fact that the Mustang used in Bullitt had been modified significantly from stock, so stills from the film were used as guides during the build process. All in, the build lasted 4 months. A brand new shell from Dynacorn was used as it provided better quality steel than the original with improved shock tower braces and door hinges. The body was painted in the same DuPont/Axalta Hot Hues’ Highland Green as the film car and a set of sixteen-inch American Racing wheels were bolted into place, completing the car’s exte

Dodge Challenger 1970 base engine was a 330/335hp four-barrel 383; optional choices included the 375hp four-barrel 440, the 390hp 440 Six-Pack and the 426 dodge challenger 1970 Hemi. Dodge Challenger 1970 is a first generation product of this iconic vehicle. Although designed to directly compete with the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro is itself a unique vehicle which has attracted a large number of fans of myriad different demographics. Company that owns Chrysler Dodge has another muscle car in production this year, which is a Plymouth Barracuda. Both vehicles were considered to have “and” body style. Both cars have been produced using a variety of equipment and other finishing options very desirable. source:carstive.com

Ever wanted the chance to own Eleanor and not some replica? Here’s your chance but it’s going to cost you. Stop everything you are doing this instant and start counting your money. For those who have seen “Gone in 60 Seconds”, the 2000 remake starring Nicolas Cage, something very special from that movie is heading to the auction block next month. Yes, it is Eleanor, the modified 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 – and not one of the stunt models used in the film but the actual “Hero” car used for all close-up shots and post-production publicity events. If it matters to you, Nicolas Cage’s own ass sat in the driver’s seat.The car was built by Cinema Vehicle Services and Chip Foose. Power comes from a 400-horsepower Ford V8 crate engine mated to a four-speed manual gearbox. Other features include power steering and brakes, a lowered suspension, driving lights, custom body kit with new fender flares, side skirts with exhaust outlets and 17″ rims wrapped in Goodyear F1 tires. Inside there’s a fire

There was no mistaking who held veto power over the competition: The Judge could be optioned with four engines in 1970, all big-bore Pontiac muscle. The standard engine, shared with the Grand Prix, Firebird and Trans Am, was Pontiac's 400-cu.in. V-8, which, with its 4.12 bore, 3.75 stroke and 10.25:1 compression ratio for manual-equipped transmissions (automatics had a 10.0:1 c.r.), made 350hp at 5,000 RPM and 445-ft.lbs. of torque at 3,000 RPM. The Ram Air III upgrade, with its D-port head, brought 10.5:1 compression, produced 366hp at 5,100 RPM and the same torque, but at a higher 3,600 RPM. The ultimate Pontiac V-8 was the 400-cu.in. Ram Air IV, which made 370hp at 5,500 RPM and 445-ft.lbs. at 3,900 RPM. Taking the leap to the High Output 455-cu.in. V-8 brought 10.25:1 compression and 360hp at 4,300 RPM, but even more torque, totaling 500-ft.lbs. at 3,100 RPM. This heavy-duty engine made its figures with or without Ram Air, in manual or automatic form. All The Judge V-8s used a

This beautiful red Torino Cobra Jet was originally sold in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This Torino Cobra Jet comes with a Marti Report. This rare vehicle came from the Ford factory with a 4-speed close ratio transmission, 3.25 axle ratio and a conservatively stated 370hp 429 Cobra Jet engine, bucket seats, center console, remote mirror and in-dash tachometer. It recently underwent a comprehensive restoration using only original Ford parts.

Many enthusiasts consider the “Goat” to be the first muscle car, and its classic split grill front-end design is among the most recognizable features of all muscle cars. Starting life as an option package for the 1963 Pontiac LeMans, the GTO became its own model series in 1966. Model year 1967 was the last year of this first-generation look with the stacked headlight design, and is showcased here. Standard equipment included bucket seats, a walnut-grained dash panel, duel exhaust, and a beefy suspension. A look under the hood found a bigger 400 cid motor than the prior year’s 389. Pontiac also went from a tri-power (three 2bbls) carb setup to a single 4bbl for the 1967 edition. The top performance option in 1967 was the 400 HO, rated at 360 hp at 5,100 rpm. Adding the Ram Air induction option slightly increased peak rpm. These GTOs typycally ran the quarter-mile in the low 14s. Almost 82,000 GTOs were sold in 1967, 13,872 of which had the 400 HO, with Ram Air installed in only 751 of t

1970 was the pinnacle of performance from Oldsmobile. In order to keep up in the horsepower arms-race, General Motors dropped the cap on engine size in 1970, and Oldsmobile responded by making the Olds 455 V8 the standard 442 engine. Magazine ads using an offbeat mad scientist trumpeted "Dr. Olds introduces as large a V-8 as ever bolted into a special-performance production automobile!" Output was 365 hp (272 kW) and 500 lb·ft (680 N·m), with a 370 hp (276 kW) variant available with the W30 option. The revised body style and increased performance resulted in the 442 being awarded pace car duties at the Indianapolis 500 race in 1970. Motor Trend praised the 442, stating that "it's probably the most identifiable super car in the GM house". Those seeking to experience the ultimate in performance from Lansing could order a "W-Machine" version of the 442, dubbed the W-30 package. The 442 W-30 added a fiberglass hood (option W25) with functional air scoops a

Plymouth Baracuda was a two-door compact/midsize car manufactured by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation from 1964 through 1974. The 1970 Hemi Cuda is now one of the most sought-after Classic Muscle Cars. Hemi ’Cuda production was limited: 652 coupes were built in 1970, dropping to just 108 in 1971. Convertible production numbers approach those of some classic European sports cars, with 14 droptop Hemi ’Cudas built in 1970 and only seven in 1971. The Barracuda’s hystory started in 1964 with a bizarre styling, a huge back window, and a small 273 cubic-inch V-8 engine as its maximum performance package. In 1968 it was built a super light Barracuda with the high-compression "race" version of the 426 Hemi engine. The styling changed radically 50 of these cars have been built. The only problem was that this cars was that where not street legal. They had no safety equipment for street use and no exhaust systems.
