Hot Wheels factory has come up with ‘Speed Machines’ which is a new line of 1:64-scaled die-cast special-edition toy cars that are far from the regular assortments. These cars are different to the ones you often come across in the market not because they have been name Speed Machines but they come with a more-detailed and accurate portrayal of the world’s fastest machines. The toy cars feature much more accurate paint and detailing, with better wheels, making the collection not only for the children but for the inner-child of all car enthusiasts. The Speed Machines range include additions like the Ferrari 599XX, but one surely need not to fork over a year’s lunch money to buy one as it costs merely $2 a pop.

We all know that Carmakers are not just confined to the roads only, but some of them are trying to rule in the waters as well. Last time we introduced the Lamborghini yacht concept but now it’s just a little more wait for the Porsche Design Yacht as the project is on its way to Nynäshamn in Sweden for completion.


In order to create a dream boat which looks like a spacecraft, Porsche collaborated with Royal Falcon Fleet to make a 41.15 meter catamaran. The phenomenal yacht is powered by twin 4,600hp MTU 16V 4000 M93L diesel engines and twin Rolls-Royce KaMeWa water jets.



Superyacht has been dubbed RFF135 (Royal Falcon Fleet 135) and will have a top speed of 35 knots. And at a cruising speed of 30 knots, the boat will be capable to go over 2,000 nautical miles. This yacht with modern shape and dynamic contours is spacious enough for 10 guests and 10 crew members.


The grand launch of this equally grand super yacht will happen by the end of this year.

Why You Need a Car Loan Modification


A car loan modification can provide you with a wide array of financial benefits. The main focus of these types of programs is to make car ownership easier and to help you fulfill your legal obligation to your car loan company.

Does your car loan have a delinquency status?

Many people are forced to skip their monthly car payment or to pay late in order to meet other financial obligations. A lack of income is the main cause of delinquency and it is affecting millions of people every day. When it is delinquent, you should use carloanindefault.com in order to fix your problems. You may have the chance to lower monthly car payments so that they are affordable and manageable.

Would you like to avoid car repossession?

Being able to continue to go to work in your primary mode of transportation is important. When you move forward with a car loan modification, you can prevent the repossession of your car and the applicable negative credit reporting that will follow you for several years.

Would you like to save money?

The overall expense of an auto loan includes interest which is the cost that you pay to have the ability to borrow money from a car loan company. When you lower auto loan interest rate, you can potentially save hundreds of dollars by reducing your interest by even a few quarter-percentage points. Every dollar that you save helps you expand your monthly budget so that it is easier to pay for other bills.

Do you own other types of vehicles?

A car loan modification also works for an RV, boat and yacht. This means that you can make it less expensive to continue to own these types of vehicles so that you can continue to spend your free time using them.
