Final Ford Ranger sold to Orkin



Production of the Ford Ranger has come to an end this month and the final Ford Ranger unit is sold to Orkin, a pest control company. Orkin told that they have enough Ford Rangers in their arsenal and since the Ford Ranger is declared "DEAD" (as in, discontinued), the company will find a replacement for the Ford Ranger when that time comes.

Guess the Ford Ranger is officially gone now with no direct replacement because Ford has no room in the midsize pickup category, whereas General Motors has room for the 2013 Colorado soon.

Marian gifts Dingdong a Ducati?!

Ducati Diavel


Now, we don't talk about bikes on this blog, but now, we are. And now, we're doing the news. We heard news that star of GMA's Amaya, Marian Rivera, gives Dingdong Dantes an expensive gift, and that is none other than a Ducati motorcycle, which the pricing is not under the 1,000,000 Philippine Peso mark, according to Philippine Entertainment Portal or PEP. No exact Ducati model is told but this is somewhat an expensive gift that shocked Dingdong that's for sure...

Another Pikes Peak Monster made by Suzuki!

Climbing Kaido


A whole new "Dirt Trial Car" Forza Motorsport 4 only have is called the Monster Sport Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special. This is the car Monster Tajima drove it on the Pikes Peak and by result, it broke the 10-minute barrier on that venue. Guess this is the reason why Suzuki is included on Forza Motorsport 4 because of the explosive surprise and that explosive surprise is when the December IGN Pack arrived with the introduction of the Monster Sport Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special. How's that compared to the old "Dirt Trial Car" from a rival video game?!

They haven't featured this on Top Gear...until now!

Amazingly though, despite this one's an R1-Class Car, it doesn't have potential to topple down Le Mans Prototypes because they're from a completely different league. I love this kind of Suzuki because this is just another Pikes Peak-born monster that made the SX4 so hardcore for many.

The Strict "No Wallpapers Featured" Rule

Earlier, I was so angered by your trespassing via search engine, so addressed the all of you that here in Leopaul's Blog to Everything, we don't feature bikes, car tuning, wallpapers, explicit content, and unauthorized downloads. For some, seems that most of you are ignoring my strict "NO WALLPAPERS FEATURED" rule.

Now, when I checked my Google Webmaster Tools, and disastrous results happened on the "wallpaper" keyword. I already told you that...

NO WALLPAPERS ARE FEATURED ON LEOPAUL'S BLOG TO EVERYTHING!

What exactly do you want from me? Looking for wallpapers at my blog? Sorry to say but...

WE DON'T FEATURE WALLPAPERS!

I'm doing this for the blog's safety. Your next visit, when you're using search engines, is because I did that research!

Complaints? Email me!

Fiat Abarth 500's US TV Ad - What's What Edition!



VH1 featured their "What's What" edition of the North American commercial for the Fiat Abarth 500! Well, whatever, because this is a "What's What" edition of this ad made by VH1, it tells about what's what about this commercial. Weird but it's just like the "What's What" edition of Disney Channel original movies we've watched. Hey! What gives?!

Last Chance To Try Out This Rotary Icon

These two are now ENDANGERED SPECIES


Production of the Mazda RX-8 ends this Summer, so with the RX-8 R3 added on Forza Motorsport 4, let's save the last dance with this rotary icon as we're trying to fulfill the RX-8's so-called Bucket List before this rotary legend dies in the Summer of 2012.

Take note that HANCARS never instructed to
sell the RX-8 SPIRIT R unless I demand them to do so...

Players who owned the 2011 Mazda RX-8 R3 at Forza Motorsport 4 via the December IGN Pack have different bucket lists to fulfill this rotary sportscar's dying wish, as is taking out for a run, tune out to be something extraordinary, paint it something nice, or show it among fellow RX-8 R3 owners. Seems that most Mazda RX-8 related clubs will be pleased about fulfilling the car's last wish before the RX-8 facing its death.

The Stig enjoys the RX-8's final days in its lifespan

As for me, I try something different to keep the RX-8 R3 happy, that is slapping out some Spirit R badges to resemble more like the final edition RX-8 Spirit R minus the gold rims. There's no getting away from the RX-8 R3 because the ride is rather excellent and it performs differently than the 2004 Mazda RX-8 Mazdaspeed. At least I have some time playing Stig and driving the Mazda RX-8 R3 round the Top Gear Test Track while listening to Haqua's character song on its stereo...

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP Game)

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun
(PSP Game)


Now, after the launch of the To Aru Majutsu no Index video game for the PSP last January 2011, it seems that most To Aru fans love this game but one question is that is there will be a To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game and Kadokawa Games took the answer, well at least so after facing several delays following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster and of course, the Thai flooding since October 2011. The arrival of the To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game is definitely a dream come true but this is not what it means to be.

The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun PSP game features an all new original adventure for Mikoto Misaka, Kuroko Shirai, Kazari Uiharu, and Ruiko Saten. Unlike the Majutsu no Index game, which is a fighting game, the Kagaku no Railgun PSP game is just a hopeless visual novel game with the "Action Part" that is somewhat similar to games like Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker and Need For Speed: The Run, the part where you have to push buttons while on a cutscene.

Of course, being just a pointless visual novel with an original storyline, that part features two modes as the game progresses such as "Girls Talk Mode" where this was focused like some kind of a dating sim game and "Judgement Mode" where players are focusing on choices. Careful though that your choices at Judgement Mode will affect the outcome of the game. Aside from that, you can enjoy the anime cutscenes at the game and this looks cool.

Logically then, it could and it should have been a must have for the Railgun fans but it was somewhat becoming just a pointless visual novel game with various confusing routes.

I wonder what will happened if I have a Railgun PSP save data, an Index PSP save data with Toma Kamijo finished in Story Mode, and an Index PSP game? Could it trigger a bonus story at the Majutsu no Index PSP game?

Keep in mind that the theme song from the Railgun PSP game is "way to answer" by fripSide. Great way to hear this, huh? This maxi single will be on sale this December 14.

LIMITED EDITION:
The To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP Game) Limited Edition features not just the game itself but also a special Kuroko Shirai figma made by Good Smile Company's Max Factory division.

Porsche 911 Carrera (Type 991)

2012 Porsche 911 Carrera



2012 Porsche 911 Carrera interior


Forever being the king of European sports cars, the legendary Porsche 911 is became sacred to the brand since the first one came out in 1963. Now, 48 years has passed and after undergoing several model changes, this is it. The much awaited full model change for the king of European sports cars is made to be more stunning, sleek and stylish.

At first glance, the 991 looks the same as the outgoing 997 but take a second look and you'll see all the body panels are new as are the Porsche design DNA carried from the Panamera saloon. In fact, you can see the Porsche label spelled it out at the back. This design really more like an attractive swimming instructor in her racing swimsuit. That looks nice.

Now at the interior, it is well-sculpted and well-refined to meet up with its Porsche design DNA and this exactly looked like the Panamera and the second-generation Cayenne. What's amazing is the new high resolution multi-function screen for the best user-friendly experience. It can be somewhat very essential when it comes to navigation and this is the one that works, well kind of. This looks a lot nicer than the 997's interior that is somewhat "it's cool if you're an 11 year old boy" but it's certainly cool.

Seems that this one is perfect for the road and track because the Porsche 991 remains the same RR (Rear-engine, Rear-wheel-drive) layout that became the epitome of the 911 history for 48 years. At the normal 911 Carrera, it is powered by a 3.4L boxer engine that produces 350PS of power and 390NM of torque. The hardcore 911 Carrera S is powered by 3.8L boxer engine that produces 400PS of power and 440Nm of torque. With the 7-speed PDK is considered to be available, get ready for this because the new Porsche 991 comes with the world's first 7-speed manual transmission! That's right folks, a 7-speed manual transmission. Seven gear stickshift! This is definitely the first of its kind because over the years the maximum gear of a manual transmission is six, which of course we love it, but is there such thing in a world is a 7-speed manual transmission? Here in Porsche, it exists and its exclusive to the 991, providing combined fuel economy of 9,0 Liter/100 km (11.1km/L) at the standard 911 Carrera and 9,5 Liter/100 km (10.5km/L) at the flagship 911 Carrera S. We are very jealous to see this legend equipped with the world's first 7-speed manual.

Available in 14 colors: Schwarz, Indischrot, Carraraweiss, Racinggelb, Basaltschwarz, Aquablau, Platinsilber, Dunkelblau, Anthrazitbraun, Achatgrau, Rubinrot, GT-silber, Cognac, and Limegold.

My comment:
Sacred to the Porsche brand, the new Porsche 991 would become the best Porsche ever built because of its new design, weight loss, and the world's first 7-speed manual transmission. Forever be the king of European sports cars.

The Carrera will be the first 991 model to offer in Europe this month while the 911 Convertible will come next year. Turbo, Targa, 4S, and others may follow soon.

Now all we can do is wait until PGA Cars will bring the new Porsche 991 to arrive in the Philippines soon.
