There are a lot of things you can do with your car. All you need are the following resources. And for the Subaru, a couple of concept vehicles will be showcased at the 2009 SEMA Show from November 3 to 6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center which are sure to surprise and make motorists drool in envy. The concept cars up for showing are a custom-built Subaru Imprezza WRX STI and Legacy VIP.

The Subaru Imprezza WRX STI should be a great trip to see how some add-ons can totally change the design features of this vehicle, with some help of course from the SPT catalog. For the Legacy VIP, combines the SPT with some of the VIP rants that deliver luxury enjoyment in a vehicle with class. Topping all of this is the Subaru Micro Van, a special SPT delivery van that promises to deliver go-fast parts very slowly via a 25 horsepower complement.

What you see above is the recently announced Dodge Challenger set to race in the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series. The car will actually race in 4 different races in the 2010 series; Daytona, Michigan, Richmond and Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

As you can see, Dodge Motorsports made it very easy to tell the vehicle is based on the Challenger, keeping the front of the car looking very production like.

We’ll keep you posted as more information is revealed about this vehicle and the 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series.

The world wide auto industry is making the push towards greener and more fuel efficient vehicles. One of the key components currently used in these green vehicles are lithium-ion batteries which are currently manufcatured all over the world.

Today, a country that you probably wouldn’t expect to be a key player in the game has announced that they will be producing their own lithium-ion batteries by 2018. That country is none other than Bolivia.

The purpose of producing their own lithium-ion batteries is so they could bypass the costly expenses of imported batteries made elsewhere. Smart, huh?

A few days ago we saw the Hennessey tuned Genesis Coupe reach output numbers of up to 500hp. Today we have another car coming from the tuning garage and this time it’s a 2010 Camaro.

Pictured above, this vehicle has a 725 hp and 741 lb-ft of torque making for a 0-60 of 3.5 and thanks to 15-inch Brembo brakes the ability to go from 60-0 in just 104 feet. Couple all of this with some carbon fiber body parts and 20-inch three-piece rims and you have yourself a very enticing vehicle.

Hennessey says we will see more of this vehicle at this year’s SEMA.

Conan O’Brien has driven a Ford Taurus SHO for years and has made it a point to put a spotlight on it.

So why shouldn’t the new Ford Taurus SHO appear on the Tonight Show? I can’t think of any reason except because it can. There’s a sneak preview of it in the photo, and you can catch it tonight at 11:30PM on NBC.

There is a trend that involves ecology and auto racing. For example, Volkswagen has a green racing with the Polo Cup in Europe. In 2010, Volkswagen will also use natural gas-powered Scirocco for the Scirocco Cup.

This car has a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine fueled by Bio-CNG, a naturally organic fuel that uses grass, corn, or biological waste. The Scirocco Cup is signing on to become a partner with DTM series, so it will be interesting to see what develops.

You can add another feature to look forward to for upcoming Chrysler vehicles. Audiovox has announced that they will start supplying Chrysler dealers with FLO TV Entertainment System which should perk up the in-car entertainment being demanded today.

The system includes a OE headrest DVD and seat top solutions which can integrate with factory rear seat entertainment systems. A Mopar 7” DVD screen, remote controls and a small antenna is also included, promising better car entertainment for future Chrysler vehicle owners.

I have to admit that the Expression Motorsport ML63 AMG isn’t what springs to my mind when I think of a Mercedes, but this one is an automobile anyone wouldn’t mind driving.

I can’t help but think of an SUV when I see this. That, or a Subaru Forrester. Anyone else want to chime in with a comment and let us know what it reminds them of?

One thing I know from terrible experience is that changing a tire SUCKS.  I hope to never have to do that again unless of course I’m in the safety and comfort of my own garage.  Even then, I’d still rather not.

But looking to make things a bit easier for me the, God forbid, next time I should have to do it is the MagnoGrip, a device you won’t want around your computers but is invaluable in changing a tire.

The MagnoGrip is essentially a magnet on a wristband.  You wear it while you’re changing a tire and you have a handy place to put your lug nuts.  It’s a clever idea that someone probably should have thought of long ago, but just somehow didn’t.  This is the kind of thing they probably should’ve had back in the days when they were filming A Christmas Story–wouldn’t have had the problem they did if Ralphie didn’t send the lug nuts flying.

Again, not the kind of thing you want anywhere near your computer, but it’s still a sweet idea.

You ever wish you could express your feelings while driving?  You know, with something other than the Courtesy Wave or an upraised middle finger?

Now you can, courtesy of the Animated Driving LED Emoticon.

It affixes to the inside of the rear window with a powered suction cup, and the remote is mounted on the front windshield.  When someone you’re facing away from (or maybe even toward!) does something you approve of, or don’t, you can flash your opinion via emoticon.you have your choice of sad, happy, heart or even winking.

This smells like an accident waiting to happen, or the perfect impetus for road rage, one of the two.

You know…some things…some things just shouldn’t exist.

And today, we’re talking about one of those things.

A lot of people like to put coolers in their cars.  This is fairly sensible–pack your own car snacks on long trips, water instead of pop, the healthy stuff that’s in short supply on the road–you get the idea.  But it may be going just a little too far to install a fridge in the car.

This one might be one of the very highest-grade car fridges ever.  It’s a twenty liter fridge with a digital LCD display, option to chill or warm, a chrome self-locking door handle and control buttons, and a maximum range of forty four to one hundred forty degrees.

A car fridge may be a little excessive, but I can see that on long trips this could be awesome, in its way.  Still, for everyday driving it’s a little much.
