Cool Trucks

cool-trucks-s
A truck is a commercial vehicle, used to transport materials and  goods. The name of ,,truck’’ is from American English but is also called ,,lorry’’ in British English. It can also be used as a usual passenger car. The Greek word ,,trocos’’ stands at the base of the etymology of the word ,,trucks’’. Trucks are larger than normal cars or have an open load bed. The term ,,lorry’’ is used for heavy and medium types such as: pickup, van, jeep, in Ireland and United Kingdom. What in U.K is called an estate car, in America is a station wagon. In Romania is called ,,camion’’ and in Italy is called ,,tir’’.

The construction of a truck is made of: chassis, cab, cargo, axles, road wheels and engine. The cab is the place where the driver seats. The compartment attached is called sleeper. It is the place where the drivers sleep when they are not driving. Here are some configurations that are possible for the cab: the cab over engine configuration is also called flat nose. This design is widely used in Europe. This type was invented by Viktor Schreckerngost. In North America the most common are conventional cabs. The driver stands behind the engine. A conventional car has 1.8 to 2.4 m and are very resistant to the wind and some disadvantages would be , they consume more fuel and they have poor visibility. Cab besides engine designs are rare.

The first truck was made by Gottlieb Daimler in 1896. Most small truck such as pickups have gasoline engines but nowadays many diesel engines are produced. For stroke diesel engine are the most heavier trucks, having intercooler and turbocharger. Huge trucks use  V12 Detroit Diesel engine. Euro 5 emissions are mandatory in European Union. Small cool trucks can have manual or automatic transmission. They have 9, 10,13,15 and 18 speeds. By having a semi-automatic or an automatic transmission, trucks can lower the fuel consumption and the durability improved and give the driver more concentration on the road.

As well as automobiles, trucks also contribute to several forms of pollution especially from the diesel particulate matter. They pollute phonic more than  automobiles do. The noises come from tires, turbocharger, exhaust brake retarder. Despite the improvements in vehicle fuel efficiency, carbon dioxide emissions increased. Organizations suggest the change from road to rail.

One of the cool trucks is Ford F-150. Although it is just one year difference between 2008 model and 2009, you will feel easily the difference.

This year’s slow economy made automotive industry be in difficulty, but trucks are sold even now. You can choose the 4.6L Triton V8 engine or 5.4 V8.

In United Kingdom you can see truck shows. There are three that are worth mentioning: June Truck Show, Shropshire Truck Show and FIA European Drag Racing Championships.

Unfortunately everyone knows that trucks are responsible for the highway damages. The only good thing that comes to my mind right now is that, the deliver of goods must be made somehow. There are 2 types of trucks: rigid trucks or articulated trucks. An articulated truck has a semi trailer and a truck unit. Rigid trucks are normally small trucks that don’t need to be articulated. There are also two kinds of cabs: cabover and conventional. In the 1890s the gas and diesel engines were invented. In 1800 was built the first truck which was powered by steam engines.

Trucks with tankers can carry liquids such as: water, milk, oil. Trucks are the giants of the highway. I personally consider them monsters, I am really afraid when I see one next to my car. It seems like only the tyre is as big as my little car .

There are trucks that clean the street, mix concrete and trucks that stop the fire. This world is fool of big machines that were created in order to help us perform many jobs.

Trucks can be seen all around the world, no matter if it is day or night, they are always on the road. Big trucks are powerful and impressive but little trucks have their importance, too. Ford Motor Company sold in 1925 the first pick-up. Millions of pick-ups are sold each year .

Costumers are more and more concerned about the gas price. The marketing plans of many cool car’s brands took this aspect into consideration. And you have now several options of fuel vehicles. Prius has drawn attention with its gas-electric hybrid engine. Consumers and enginners take into consideration fuels like: diesel and hydrogen. Although cars using hydrogen aren’t available yet, diesel cars are coming back. Chrysler and Mercedes are just two of the brands that use diesel fuel for vehicles and their consumtion reduces up to 30 percent.

If one of the industry part is thinking of the economical side, the other uses very much gas and I’m talking about the designers that are obsessed with speed. These designers produce fast cars. The car that won the Guinness World Record is Koenigsegg CCR and costs 722.534 $ and on the second place comes Bugatti Veyron that uses all its fuel in twelve minutes.

There is even a research that shows  that if you put one  man in a Toyota Camry and in a Porche 911 Cabrioleta and let them drive on the streets, the testosterone of the one that was driving the Toyota Camry didn’t increase. But it is very interesting how the testosterone of the one driving the Porche 911 Cabriolet, rises. But more important than speed, is safety which is not so exciting but is a category that is continuously improved.

Luxury brand try to  entirely avoid accidents. Volvo created a dynamic traction control that prevents vehicles to slide of wet roads and BMW is perfecting the adapting cruise control which will avoid crashes by slowing down the car.

Coolest Car Ever

By our opinion, the coolest car ever is not necessarily a modern car, is a car witch survived trough time. I think you will get my point when I will tell to think about Chevrolet Corvette. This car was a phenomenon when showed on the market.

First model appeared in 1953 and it was designed by Harley Earl. It was the first generation from all six produced so far by General Motors, named C1 (first) trough C6 ( the last).

Chevrolet Corvette C2 was produced between 1963 and 1967, its designer was Larry Shinoda and the new model was named Corvette Sting Ray. This car was different because of its split rear window, witch it was discontinued in 1964 due to safety concerns.

The fourth experiment of Corvette series (C4) was first produced in 1995. This model didn't had to many exterior improvements from the previous generation with the exception of the revised grill panel design. Very few vehicles elicit the same kind of satisfaction as the Chevrolet Corvette. The 'Vette is a symbol of childhood dreams and grown up triumph. C4 become in short time an icon as a high-performance and dynamic sports vehicle.

1997 was the year when Corvette hit the market with a radical change. With a hydroformed box frame, the engine is connected, trough a torque tube to the rear-mounted transaxle assembly. he 4L60E automatic transmission carried on, but the manual was replaced by the Borg-Warner T-56. Gone were the squeaks and rattles of the C4, and in replacement was an incredibly strong frame that would last for at least two more generations. The new car was a lot better in every way than his predecessor.


After 52 years and 5 generations Corvette launched C6, witch is the coolest car ever, because of its original shape that made the first Corvette buyers to fall in love with the car with new and modern shapes, with a luxury interior, and with lots of high generation updates. Each model has multiple versions like ZR1, witch is a version of  C6 with the most powerful engine used by Corvette.

"Chevrolet's goal with the new ZR1 is to show what an American supercar can deliver, at a price that trumps exotics that cost two, three or four times as much - and does so with exceptional driveability."A new generation, C7 is waited in 2010.


The classic never dies, the new always attracts us and the speed gives us the freedom that we are looking for when we stand behind the wheel. Six generations of Chevrolet Corvette delighted us with the best combination of those. Feel free to enjoy the happiness of being a driver.

The Charlie Booze 1993 Mustang is one of the cares that will spend the first 300 feet from a quarter of a mile dragging the rear bumper and it is the most feared car at any street event. Everybody will run to the line to see this baby roll. It was driven at a 8.8 second zone in a street car event and almost made a mockery of any other car that was in that race. His ride was powered and promoted by Kuntz and Co and it got him qualified at every event and wined him first prize also. In 2005 he was the winner of the Hot Street Championship and was a victory for himself and also for the manufacturer because lets' face it, the '93 Mustang grew in production and in sale after that win.

This ingenious model earned its right to be among the coolest mustang ever top because from its custom door panels to the bathroom paneling this is a foxy car.

This car features a a ProCharger FR1 huffer, a DiabloSport tune and a Three-Valve Al Papitto built in and in time the driver decided to add, as if it wasn't fast enough, Zex nitrous kit that fully kicked this car into high gear. If this car would not be in this list of the coolest mustang ever we would not be writing the article right.


The 2005 Mustang GT Saleen Clone was transformed by Joe Intravaia and now you really can't tell the difference between the original version and the new clone. Not this is a transformation. It succeeded to get into high gear at a range of 10 second zone at many occasions when it was competing with a number of other powerful cars like Honda for instance, in many racing events and also beat them at the finish line. This model was promoted in many car related magazine and was a hit when it came out because its sporty design and technological features make it one of the coolest mustangs ever.


Tim Lynch's 2001 Mustang is one of the most feared cars in the planet for the simple and yet astonishing reason that it can gain over 200 mph and will run at at a high speed, making its name well known in many racing competitions.
